Louis Snyder bent down, retracing his steps to where they had just walked.

It took a while before he found the lost diamond necklace in a hidden crevice.

The diamond was covered in dust and had lost its earlier sparkle.

As Louis Snyder reached out to grab it, his fingertips had barely touched the icy necklace when something flashed rapidly through his mind.

A stern look flashed in his eyes; he didn’t bother to take the necklace and turned to run towards the door.

The floorboards creaked, and the dust they raised floated in the air, taking a while to settle back down to the floor.

Even though he ran as fast as he could, Louis Snyder was still a step too late.

The car door was wide open, and Hannah was nowhere to be seen within the range of his eyesight.

Louis Snyder moved forward instinctively for two steps, but after those two steps, he stopped.

He didn’t move again, just stood there, staring blankly.

After a while, he looked up at the last gleam of light in the sky.

The dazzling light hurt his eyes, turning them red, and tears fell without knowing why.

She had never liked him; he had always known that.

But he didn’t know how to ask for her forgiveness, nor did he know how to make her like him again.

All he wanted was to be alone with her, even if she’d always hate him.

But it seemed... he had hurt her once more.

...

After making sure she was out of Louis Snyder’s line of sight, Hannah finally slowed down.

She casually broke off a twig from the roadside to tie up her long hair.

Even though she had intentionally played along with Jimmy Simmons’ act earlier, it didn’t mean she was willing to continue playing the game with Louis Snyder, who was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Bracing against the cold wind, Hannah walked briskly while reviewing the last part of the plot that loaded in her mind.

In the original storyline, after being with Louis Snyder for a while, Tiffany Lynch indeed lived a comfortable life for some time.

In the entertainment industry, she was the center of attention; in the circle of the wealthy, she was treated like a treasured daughter.

She had a hand in both circles and played them wisely,

But such good days did not last long.

In fact, Tiffany Lynch herself had no idea why Louis Snyder had such deep feelings for her; when she couldn’t understand it, she simply attributed it to her personal charm.

After all, there were too many people who liked her, so it was normal to have a few who were devoted and infatuated.

She had looked down on Louis Snyder before because he was young and without a background; even though he was popular in the entertainment industry, he was just an ordinary person.

She kept him on the hook solely to secure a backup for herself.

Now that this backup had turned into a good prospect, she wished she could be tied to Louis Snyder for life.

Half a year later, Louis Snyder accidentally learned something.

The little girl who had helped him those years ago was not Tiffany Lynch.

The white moonlight filter shattered in that instant.

When the filter still existed, Tiffany Lynch was the epitome of gentleness and kindness in Louis Snyder’s eyes, but once the filter broke, the so-called gentleness and kindness appeared as hypocrisy and deception.

He was someone who was extremely parsimonious with his emotions.

Devoted affection came quickly and left just as quickly; Tiffany Lynch, this white moonlight, ultimately just became a joke.

Louis Snyder didn’t let Tiffany Lynch off so easily; he locked her up and tormented her incessantly.

It wasn’t physical torment, but mental.

He felt that Tiffany Lynch had deceived his feelings, making him look like a fool being toyed with by her.

So, no matter how much Tiffany Lynch begged him, he showed no mercy.
