Esther rubbed her eyes, carefully examining the woman in the photo to confirm if it was real. After a
minute, she placed the photo back inside the book, stood up, and quietly switched off the reading lamp
before leaving the room.
Outside, she finally released the suffocating feeling caused by the woman in the photo. Glancing at the
closed door, she hurried back to her own bedroom.
Felix had a video call waiting for her, probably worried about not seeing her.
Esther quickly returned the video call, contacting Felix on his watch phone.
“Mommy!” Felix’s cute voice greeted Esther’s ears.

You must listen to Anna, okay?”
Felix patted his chest proudly and replied, “Mommy, I’m super good and obedient!”
“You’re amazing!” A wash of heartache flashed in Esther’s beautiful eyes. “Felix, Mommy loves you.”
Felix responded to the microphone with a loud kiss. “I love you too, Mommy.”
Seeing that it was getting late, Esther did not talk much to Felix and just reminded him, Felix, be good
when I’m not around. Go to bed and sleep well, eat well, and-
“Mommy, I know. You must take care of yourself, too.”
“Good night, son.”
“Good night, Mommy.”
After ending the call with Felix, Esther hesitated for a moment and decided to call Xara. No one
answered. Seeing the time, Esther figured Xara might be busy with work, so she did not try calling
again.
Esther could not fall asleep, her mind still preoccupied with the photo that had fallen from the book. It
made her heart pound in the dark night.
Sleep eluded Esther as numerous questions lingered in her mind. To distract herself, she decided to
browse the social media platform.
Tanya had not informed her about the date of her divorce case with Bradley.
After Bradley released that damaging video, Esther became the target of scorn for countless netizens.
Despite experts trying to find flaws in the video frame by frame due to Jasper’s extravagant reward,

Esther massaged her aching temples, anxious about the impact on her divorce case if she couldn’t
prove the video’s authenticity was false.
She clicked on the video and carefully examined the person who resembled her. She knew the person
in the video was not her, but why did they look so much alike?
Could Liliane have done this alone? It seemed highly unlikely. But what if Shane helped her? No, that
couldn’t be right!
In the stillness of the night, Esther’s mind raced, desperately seeking a way out of this seemingly dead-
end situation.
Suddenly, an almost absurd and seemingly impossible idea struck her. If the person in the video wasn’t
her, who could guarantee that the old man in the video was really Thomas? Esther replayed the video,
this time focusing not on herself but on the old man in the footage.
