"You..."

"Sheryl Lancaster, don’t be so naive. Your foolish sister has definitely sided with Jared Quinn." Felix Chandler stood beside her, watching the long convoy leave below, taking out a gun in his hand. "If you want to protect yourself, you have to be more ruthless than others."

Sheryl understood what Felix meant, but that was her only family, how could she bring herself to do it?

Luna Lancaster was also arranged in Harold Chapman’s territory, outwardly under the guise of protection.

"What is this place? This is clearly not where patients reside. Are you trying to imprison me?" Luna Lancaster yelled outside, locked inside.

"This is the safest place. Recently, Lieutenant Commander Chapman uncovered a woman collaborating with the Chandler heir and some underworld figures. Upon investigation, their target seems to be you. There are strict guards here, living here is the safest."

Hearing about a woman and the Chandlers, Sheryl shivered in fear. She knew Luna was involved with that Chandler man, perhaps it’s them.

"Alright, you all can leave now. I’ll stay here quietly, but please, don’t reveal my room number to anyone outside."

The soldier glanced at her without much emotion, but that gaze looked like it was observing a doomed person. "Your room number is public information. Right now, people outside are quite concerned with your life here. As long as you don’t go out or interact with anyone, you won’t die."

"Alright." Luna nodded.

The first day passed. Everything she ate and used inside was the best, but the better the food, the more she felt she was on her way to the guillotine.

Even at night, she couldn’t sleep peacefully, always feeling there’s someone out to kill her.

"Ah ah ah."

Days went by, and Luna seemed completely driven to madness. In the middle of the night, she always heard gunshots and screams. In the morning, there were soldier conversations:

"The underworld is getting bolder, even daring to storm here. Seems they’re determined to kill that woman at all costs."

"That woman provoked someone she shouldn’t have, probably she knows some big secret."

Inside the room, Luna painfully clutched her head, teetering on the brink of collapse. "Why me? Why do they have to kill me? We’re sisters, Sheryl. I did so much for you, yet you grow increasingly cold-hearted."

"Miss Lancaster, are you alright?" Chloe Summers stood at the door, eyeing her cautiously and avoiding entering.

"I heard those soldiers say that many died again yesterday. They all died protecting you. Doesn’t that make you uneasy, Miss Lancaster? I’m afraid people who died because of you will come find you one night." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Ah, stop talking, stop saying this!" Luna was completely breaking down; continuing like this would drive her insane.

"Where’s Jared Quinn? Where is he, I want to see him! I need to meet him now!"

"Master Quinn’s company is very busy right now. Earlier, you said Melody Thorne killed someone, causing his company considerable loss, and now they’re recovering."

"I need to see him, I beg you, let me see him! As long as he helps me capture Sheryl Lancaster, I’ll tell everyone the truth, admit that the recording was my defamation of Melody Thorne."

Chloe Summers raised an eyebrow indifferently; how could such a person have the confidence to confront Melody Thorne?
