Once the door was shut, Finn could feel Noah’s imposing presence. His heart raced, and he sat there in fear with cold sweat drenching his back.
Noah placed his hand on the seat handle and asked coldly. “Do you want confess?”

Finn had worked for Noah long enough to know the dire consequences of lying. Faced with a choice between staying alive and keeping the money, Finn chose life.
He stammered, “Mr. De Marco, someone hired me to damage a car with the license plate $1027, They promised me 140,000 dollars for the job but warned me not to harm the driver.”
Noah glanced at him sideways. “Is there something you’re leaving out?”
Finn swallowed hard. “The person also told me to imply to Ms. Healy that you were behind it.”
Noah scoffed. “You’re well aware of the consequences of crossing me. Why did you still do it?”
Finn hurriedly explained, “Mr. De Marco, my wife is seriously ill, and I need the money for her treatment.”
Noah’s intimidating demeanor softened when Finn mentioned his wife’s illness. He looked at Finn and asked, “What’s wrong with her?”
Finn replied, “Late–stage leukemia. She needs a bone marrow transplant within a month, or she won’t make it.”
Noah frowned.
Leukemia again?”
Noticing Noah’s silence, Finn anxiously continued. “Mr. De Marco, if you want, you can look into this, but could you please spare me some money?”
Noah’s tone softened further, possibly because of his experience with Axel’s condition. “Who ordered you. to do this?”
Finn answered, “I don’t know the person. They contacted me from different numbers and used a voice. changer, Mr. De Marco.”
Noah narrowed his eyes. “Did they only instruct you to do these two things?”
“Yes, sir. They paid me 140,000 dollars upfront and threatened to harm my wife if I failed.”
Noah pondered for a moment. “Very well, you may go inside.”
Finn was astonished. “You’re not holding me responsible, Mr. De Marco?”
Noah sneered. “You should know what to do next.”
Finn nodded. “I understand, Mr. De Marco. I’ll inform you if the person contacts me again, and I won’t implicate you when I speak to Ms. Healy.”
Afterward, Finn was taken back to the station.
Reuben asked in confusion, “Do you trust Finn, sir?”
“Find out more about his wife’s condition,” Noah ordered.
Reuben replied, “Yes, sir! Should we head to the hospital now?”
Noah’s gaze darkened. “Still no updates on the bone marrow?”
Reuben sighed. “Unfortunately, no, sir.”
Reuben started the car when he said that.
Noah gazed at the dark streets, overwhelmed by powerlessness and emptiness.
Although he was wealthy, his money couldn’t save his child!
Casey returned to Villa Foresta, and the servant quickly brought him slippers.
Casey asked casually, “Is she awake?”
“No, sir. I used a stronger dose of medicine this time, so she won’t wake up soon, the servant replied.
Casey removed his jacket. “Send someone here.”
The servant nodded. “Of course, sir.”
Daniella lay in bed upstairs. She wble to open her eyes, feeling drained of energy was
Suddenly, the door clicked open, and footsteps followed, along with Casey’s muffled voice. “Ella?”
Daniella tried to respond, moving her fingers, but Casey noticed.
He bent over and held her slender hand. “How are you still awake?” he said with regret.
Daniella couldn’t hear clearly because her head was buzzing, but she could feel Casey gently caressing her hand.
Daniella was deeply touched.
Casey said, “Rest well. Don’t wake up in the middle of the night.”
Daniella was startled by his words. What does he mean?”
“Come,” Casey called.
Soon, footsteps approached, and the servant arrived at the door. “Do you have any orders, sir?”
Casey loosened his grip on Daniella’s hand. “Administer the medicine.”
‘Administer the medicine? What does he mean? Daniella pondered this question in her mind.
Soon, she heard the clinking of bottles. Then, her arm was grabbed, and she felt a sharp pain in her forearm.
Daniella tried to pull her arm back, but her body wouldn’t respond. Her consciousness gradually faded.
Daniella had no idea that Casey had had fun with three women in her presence that night.
The next morning, Daniella recalled y’s words when she wake up. She but found no needle hole. She frowned in confusion.
“Hey, Ella?”
sat up and checked her arm
Casey’s voice startled her.
Daniella turned her head swiftly, shocked to see Casey nising from the bed.
“Casey? When did you sleep next to me?” Daniella asked, astonished.
Casey held her hand and said, “You seemed very tired, so I didn’t want to wake you.”
Daniella didn’t believe him as she had heard his comment. Nevertheless, she composed herself and leaned against Casey, asking affectionately. “Are you planning to harm me, Casey?”
Casey’s gaze turned cold, but his voice remained gentle. “Why do you ask?”
Daniella said, “I had a nightmare that you ordered someone to inject me with drugs.”
“You’re overthinking silly. If you feel uncomfortable staying here, you can go home for a few days,” Casey said, caressing Daniella’s long hair,
Daniella moved away from Casey’s embrace. “Why would I be uncomfortable, Casey? I’m not leaving. I’m here to take care of you.”
“You’re welcome here anytime you want. My door is always open for you,” Casey assured her.
Casey’s comment persuaded Daniella, and she gently kissed him. “Thank you, Casey. I’ll head home now.”
After tidying up, Daniella left Villa Foresta and returned to Xander Residence. She unexpectedly ran into Yuliana, who was preparing to leave.
Blocking Yuliana’s path, Daniella asked, “What’s the latest update on that situation?”
Yuliana glanced at her. “I thought I already informed you that Noah couldn’t find a suitable bone marrow donor.”
Displeased, Daniella retorted, “You never updated me yesterday!”
Yuliana replied, “Since I didn’t update you, it means there was no new information. Do you really want me to text you every day?”
Standing close to Yuliana, Daniella warned, “Mind your tone when speaking to me!”
Suppressing her anger, Yuliana replied, “So, do you still want me to keep an eye on him? Move aside if you do
“Don’t even think about playing tricks on me!”
Daniella entered the villa shortly after, and Yuliana left Xander Residence in frustration, heading for the hospital.
As soon as Yuliana departed, Greta emerged from the backyard with Grayson.
Noticing Yuliana’s frequent absences, Grayson frowned and asked, “Why is Yulia constantly going out these days? Is she job hunting?”
Greta clarified, “Yuliana isn’t working, Father. She probably has some personal matters to attend to.”
Grayson cautioned, “The world outside is chaotic. You must keep a close watch on her and make sure she doesn’t roam freely.”
Greta chuckled and remarked, “Father, we’ll keep an eye on Yulia. Ella isn’t young anymore. You should also check on her.”
Greta’s words reminded Grayson of her. “You’re right. Ella didn’t come home last night either.”
Greta reassured him, “Don’t worry, Father. Just remind her.”
Grayson frowned, contemplating the need to check up on Daniella and find out what she had been up to
At the hospital.
