Chapter 1225

“I know it’s frustrating. But at least we’ve confirmed that someone paid to orchestrate the attack on the

old woman. And this criminal is behind bars. Don’t worry. I won’t give up on this case. I have a contact

in the Preagend police station. I’ve asked him to help investigate the person who acquired the illegal

account. I’m determined to uncover the person responsible.”

Sensing his own harsh tone, Roland placed a reassuring hand on Tobin’s shoulder.

“Tobin, thanks for your hard work.”

“Thank you, Mr. Nicolas,” said Millie.

Leaving the police station, she gazed at the overcast sky, a sense of impending trouble weighing on

her.

Meanwhile, at the Thomas Group headquarters.

After reviewing the final document, Marcus stood up and headed home.

On his way back, rain suddenly began to fall.

Arriving home, Marcus shed his coat and contemplated calling Millie, wondering if the rain had reached

the countryside.

Just then, the doorbell rang. He frowned, perplexed by the late-night visitor.

Upon opening the door, he was taken aback by the sight of a drenched woman standing outside. A

mixture of emotions surged within him.

Shera?

The woman who had supposedly died in a car accident five years ago was now before him, alive.

Completely soaked, Shera threw herself into his arms, an excited embrace that left him stunned.

“Marcus, I’ve returned. I’ve missed you so much.”

She was trembling all over, feeling a mix of coldness, fear, and excitement.

“Marcus, this really is me. I’m alive and well, believe me,” she added.

Marcus hesitated momentarily before gently pushing her away. He observed her soaked face, his

expression a mix of confusion and complex emotions.

After that night’s call, an unsettling feeling gnawed at him. Despite making several attempts to call

back, no one picked up.

He instructed Trenton to dig deep into the matter, investigating from the car accident to Shera’s

supposed burial. Two suspicious details emerged. The doctor who treated Shera resigned shortly after

declaring her beyond saving, and Bolton exhibited little grief over Shera’s demise.

Lately, Marcus had been feeling that Rhea might still be alive, but the reality of her presence still

shocked him.

To have someone declared deceased reappear before him was truly astonishing.

However, this sensation was starkly different from the overwhelming relief he felt when he discovered

that Millie had survived the explosion. Back then, her return triggered profound excitement and

gratitude.

He was completely taken by surprise that Shera was alive and well.
