Courtney replied, “Tell Paul to find a place to hide. Then you get out of the car and come back to the hospital.”
Josephine told Paul what her mom said. Paul gave Josephine a strange look. “Your mom didn’t tell the cops I was the one who killed him, did she?”
Josephine was nervous and scared. She shook her head. “No, no, don’t worry. My mom said it would be bad for her too, right?”
Paul nodded. “That’s right. You go back to your mom. Tell her not to say anything stupid to the police.”
“Transfer me ten million, and I’ll let you out of the car. I need money to
hide.”
Josephine glared at him, but didn’t dare to refuse. She transferred him the ten million.
After getting out of Paul’s car, Josephine quickly hailed a cab back to the hospital.
Back at the hospital, the police were gone. Josephine closed the door to the room and threw herself into her mother’s arms. “Mom, I’m so
scared. Am I going to go to jail?”
Courtney said bitterly, “Xavier called the police. He told them Jacob went missing, and that the last person he was with was you, at that hotel.”
“Now the police have found blood in the hotel room. I told them I had a

miscarriage. They said they saw the security footage, so I told them I came to the hospital because of the miscarriage, and that I don’t know why Jacob disappeared from the hotel after that.”
“Josie, right now, our only option is to lead the police to believe that after I went to the hospital for my miscarriage, Paul and Jacob got into a fight in the hotel room, and then Paul killed Jacob. That way, it has nothing to do with us.”
Josephine nodded, then thought of Hilda and asked, “What about Hilda? Why isn’t she here?
What if the police question Hilda?”
Courtney frowned. “I called her, but she’s not picking up. I sent her a text telling her what to say if the police find her.”
“Why isn’t Hilda answering her phone? She wouldn’t…..?”
“She probably got scared and ran off.”
But I warned her. If she says anything reckless, she’ll have to share the blame with us. After all, she and Paul handled Jacob’s body.”
Aveline returned to the city and went straight to the Beltran’s mansion.
Xavier was waiting for her in the living room, studying her expression. After all, her father might have been murdered by Courtney and her lover. No matter how much she hated her father, she must be feeling at least a little sad.
But Aveline’s face was cold, and he couldn’t read her emotions.
“Aveline, are you okay?”
Xavier said, reaching out to stroke her head.

Aveline pushed his hand away. “What’s happening with the police?”
Xavier helplessly lowered his hand and replied, “We have some evidence, but my people obtained it through illegal means, so we can’t give it to the police.”
“But since we reported it, they’ve inspected the hotel, checked the surveillance footage, and questioned Courtney. The police will soon discover that Paul and Raymond transported a box into the wild.”
Aveline pressed her lips together. “Could Jacob be in that box?”
Xavier looked at her. “It’s possible.
If Courtney and Josephine are guilty, they won’t get away. We’ll wait patiently for the police investigation. It probably won’t take more than a few days.”
“We’ll probably have a result by tomorrow. The police definitely went to see Eileen and Vincent tonight, and I don’t believe they can handle the pressure from the police.”
Aveline sneered, “Good. All of those heartless bastards are going to jail.”
With that, she walked toward the door. “Let me know if you hear anything.”
Xavier grabbed her arm. “Where are you going?”
“Just sleep here tonight. Or do you want to go back to Parkview Estates?”
Aveline shook his hand off. “I’m going back to Garden Estate.”

When is the novel ending? It’s so unnecessarily long… not a single intimacy or connection just fighting and bickering from the beginning to end...
