NovelEndChapter 1340 Kept in Darkness A shroud of sorrow hung over the household, echoing with sobs. The body had been temporarily moved to the morgue, reportedly burned beyond recognition. It was confirmed that the young heir had been driving under the influence.
Surveillance footage revealed he had been hopelessly intoxicated behind the wheel-a clear case of self- destruction rather than foul play.
Alex didn't enter the premises, merely gathering the information he needed from outside before departing.

Raymond awakened and gazed out the window, contemplating yesterday's conversation with Jason. He dialed him again.
"Mr. Smith, have you collaborated with others before? After searching for your wife and daughter all these years, surely I'm not your first partner?" "I worked with Victor," Jason replied, his voice hoarse from exhausting days tracking BK members.
"Dr. Barnes is highly respected for his medical expertise, particularly among Vistalia's elite. I hired him as my personal physician briefly and later asked him to keep watch in Silver Bay City, but there's been nothing. Whoever's behind this must be extraordinarily powerful." Raymond's fingers tapped lightly against the window frame. After a long silence, he ended the call without another word.
Helen entered with breakfast. "Raymond, you haven't been resting. You need to take care of yourself first."

"I do. What are you thinking?" "Someone's deliberately keepingin the dark." "What will you do?" "I'm returning home." Helen paused before responding, "You have your reasons. Do what you need to-I won't stand in your way anymore." After finishing breakfast methodically, Raymond called Victor, who was at hwaiting for Alex's arrival. Victor's eyebrow twitched slightly at Raymond's non the caller ID.

Raymond settled into his chair and answered, "I'm planning to return hin the next day or two, and I need your help." "What kind of help?" "Walter's involved in smuggling operations, isn't he? You had dealings with him a year ago. The Perez family has a vessel that travels directly from Vistalia to the mainland-I want passage on that ship." After contemplating for a moment, Victor asked, "Why return at such a critical time? Is something happening?" "Indeed there is. I intercepted one of the Perez family's shipments recently, and Walter likely holds a grudge. I need you to negotiate with him-he'll listen to you." "I'll speak with him, but Raymond, returning now is dangerous. You took Christopher with you; if authorities discover your return, you'll likely face interrogation." "I have compelling reasons." Victor didn't press further-it wasn't his nature to pry.
After hanging up, he stared at the two glasses on the table, already filled with liquor. Before Raymond's call, he had been planning something else entirely. Now, uncertain about Raymond's sudden return plans, he decided to wait and observe. He made another call, answered by K, who had been training Selena since their return to the villa. Though Selena had regained her sight, she pretended blindness.

Over the past days, she'd learned K's disciplined routine: retiring to his bedroom around eight, showering precisely at 8:10, followed by reading before sleep. Desperate to escape, Selena surveyed everyone around her, eventually noticing 002 glaring at her from the corner with undisguised hatred. Though 002 had been compliant recently, he still fixed her with venomous stares whenever K wasn't watching. Everyone believed Selena remained sightless. Her acting skills were impressive, and her resilience under pressure remarkable.
During her brief training period, something in her bloodline seemed to awaken, bringing unprecedented clarity. After another day's training, she deliberately soaked herself in cold water all night, successfully inducing a fever.
The next morning, when K cto wake her, he found her flushed with fever. Selena pretended not to know someone was beside her bed, groping around to get up. Her fingers accidentally touched his hand. She quickly withdrew but stumbled against him as weakness overtook her legs. Her eyes carefully studied everything visible to her.
In that moment, she noticed a tiny red birthmark on his left earlobe.
