TimeNovelA bad feeling started creeping into Rebecca’s mind. “What are you looking at?” Jessica asked as she walked in.
Seeing Rebecca holding the file, she leaned over and skimmed it. “This clause looks almost the sas the
property transfer one,” she said casually.
“It's the Deed of Property Transfer,” Rebecca replied, setting it aside and picking up the other documents on the
desk.
Every single one was dated July 16. All of these papers were basically about property transfer. She still
remembered that on the day her mom had the accident, they'd been out shopping together.
Her mom promised to tell her something when they got back, but just after pulling into the parking lot, the
accident happened.
“Jessica,” Rebecca suddenly felt weak all over.
Jessica noticed her pale face and asked with concern, “What's wrong?”
“Do you remember how my mom's accident happened that day?” Rebecca asked. Memories rushed back, and
she hesitated, unsure if she wanted to voice her suspicion.
‘What if my mom's accident wasn’t an accident? Could someone have planned it? Richard? Or someone else?’
she thought.
“When you went to the parking lot to get the car, someone hit the accelerator instead of the brake and ran into
your mom,” Jessica recalled the incident. “What's going on?”
Rebecca handed her the document with the Deed of Property Transfer date. “Look at this.”
“July 16,” Jessica murmured, eyes narrowing. “This date...”
Before she could finish, realization hit her. She looked at Rebecca seriously. “Your mom's accident was on this
sday?”
“Yes,” Rebecca confirmed.
Jessica immediately guessed what she was thinking. “You think someone planned it on purpose?”

At the time, she had no reason to suspect anything. “Should we try to find that girl?” Jessica asked tentatively.
“Back then, she couldn't afford the medical bills, and you didn’t press charges. She’d probably cooperate.”
“If it wasn’t an accident, she wouldn't cooperate,” Rebecca said, her mood heavy.
“For now, it's just speculation. Maybe it really is a coincidence,” Jessica reasoned. “Wasn't she in the hospital
taking care of your mom for months? If it had been planned, she wouldn't have had the nerve to stay that long.”
That was exactly why Rebecca hesitated. Too many things suggested it was really an accident. After all, a real
planner wouldn't have stubbornly stayed to help care for her mom for months.
Rebecca had asked her to leave, but she said she had to help since she couldn't pay anything. She was sincere
enough that they later forgave her mistake.
“Ask her first,” Jessica decided. “It'll stop you from overthinking.”
Rebecca forced down her emotions, gathered the few documents on the desk, and walked around the study one
last time. Most of the books made no sense to her anyway.
She was about to check the other rooms when she suddenly ran into Richard on the staircase. “I thought you
weren't coming?” he said. He'd been waiting outside her community since he left, confident she'd show up, and
he guessed right.
Looking at him, Rebecca decided to bluff. “Was my mom's car accident your doing?”
Her dad wasn’t exactly subtle; if it had been him, he would've given himself away. “Crazy,” Richard muttered
and stormed inside, searching the study without restraint.
Watching him, Jessica asked Rebecca, “Are we gonna do something?”
“Yes,” Rebecca replied.
Jessica pulled out her phone and called the bodyguards who had been following them, keeping her eyes on
Richard as he rifled through the room. “Head up to the third floor and escort Richard down. He's in the way.”
“Got it,” the bodyguards said.
Moments later, four well-trained guards arrived, grabbed Richard, and led him downstairs, leaving him baffled.
Realizing Rebecca and Jessica were forcing him out, he panicked. “Rebecca! I'm your dad. What are you doing?”
Rebecca said nothing. If she’d known Richard was tailing her, she never would have ctoday. “If you don’t let
“If it gets burned, you'll be the prsuspect,” Rebecca replied calmly. “Jessica and her bodyguards can vouch
for me.”
Richard froze, realizing he'd forgotten about Jessica. Once he was escorted away, Rebecca pulled up the

contact info for the girl from back then on her phone and sent a message: [Camille, are you still in Jelasburg?]
The reply calmost instantly: [No, I'm in Honnala.]
Rebecca was about to ask why she'd left Jelasburg when Camille called. Her voice was gentle, just like before.
“Rebecca, do you needfor something?”
“Just checking in,” Rebecca said, keeping her tone neutral. “Your hisn’t in Jelasburg? How cyou're in
Honnala?”
Jelasburg, being a super-tier city, drew countless migrant workers, but Camille moved in the opposite way. “My
husband is from Honnala,” Camille explained naturally. “After we got married, | moved here with him.”
“Got it,” Rebecca thought, realizing she’d worried unnecessarily. Messages were answered immediately, calls
returned instantly, and Camille’s tone and manner were exactly as before, clearly not the behavior of someone
involved in a scheme.
Camille asked again with concern, “Do you needfor anything?”
“No, just bored and curious about how you've been,” Rebecca said, feeling her tension ease. “Nothing, you go
ahead.”
“Okay, and anytyou need me, my phone's always on for you,” Camille said before hanging up.
Rebecca pinched the bridge of her nose, staring at the dark screen. She realized she'd been overthinking, letting
her paranoia about a matching date get the better of her. If this were a setup, the materials would have been
destroyed long ago.
“Let's go back,” Rebecca said, taking the documents with her.
Meanwhile, on the other end, after ending the call with Rebecca, the gentle Camille sent a message: [Boss,
Rebecca must be suspicious. She just suddenly senta message asking about me.]
