“I think Imogen has something to do with the kidnapping,” said Shirley curtly.

Zacharias looked up in shock. “Does she have something to do with it?”

Shirley nodded. “I asked Roy to givethe security footage, and there's footage ofand Imogen going shopping. My gut tells

“Why would she do this?” Zacharias was frowning, taking this seriously.

“Perhaps it has something to do with money. Imogen’s family isn’t all that rich, but she’s an ambitious lady,” said Shirley. She was

reminded of when Imogen told her that she wanted to gain Zacharias’ attention. She told Shirley that she'd fallen in love with

Zacharias at first sight, and Imogen even hinted to Shirley that she wanted to woo Zacharias. That's proof of her ambition.

“If she is involved, then we have to deal with her!” Zacharias cursed himself. He had a meeting that day, and Imogen requested to

stay back with Shirley. He gave her that permission, leaving a snake by Shirley's side. “I'm sorry. This is my fault, too. | shouldn't

have let her go shopping with you.”

Shirley wrapped her arms around Zacharias’ neck and kissed his forehead. “It’s not your fault. If | hadn't gone through this whole

ordeal myself, I'd never have realized Imogen is a traitor.”

Zacharias held her in his arms. “I won't let anyone | don’t trust stay with you ever again.”

Shirley should be glad she went through this, or she would've never seen Imogen’s true colors. Simply put, she might even end up

in a worse state after this. “We're keeping this a secret for now. After we go back, we'll cup with a plan,” said Shirley.

“| can keep her under surveillance right now.”

“No, not for now. I'm trying to set her up so that she'll expose herself,” said Shirley.

“We'll go with your plan, then.” Zacharias patted Shirley's head, feeling for her. It must suck to be betrayed by a friend.

Shirley was upset. She lay in Zacharias’ embrace and rested her head on his shoulder. Zacharias held her, kissing her hair. “It's

alright. I'll be with you forever.”

That soothed Shirley's heart, and she looked at him with determination. “Really? Forever?”

“Forever,” said Zacharias honestly.

Shirley's heart was filled with warmth. She smiled and brightened up like a blooming flower again. Captivated, Zacharias held the

back of Shirley's head and kissed her.

Shirley had her arms wrapped around Zacharias’ neck, kissing him back as well. Whenever she was with him, she could forget all

the bad times.

Meanwhile, Imogen was in her room, unable to sleep. She kept thinking about the whole case. If she couldn't confirm that Shirley

didn’t suspect her at all, she couldn't rest easy. What did the kidnappers tell her? Nonetheless, she had confidence they wouldn't

betray her.

The next morning, after Shirley woke up, Imogen asked her out to have coffee at the hotel's coffee shop. Shirley agreed to it like

she usually would. Concerned, Imogen asked, “You said you bumped your head. Are you better now?”

Shirley smiled. “Yeah. My head didn’t hurt this morning, and | feel better now.”

“Do you remember everything the kidnappers said?”

“Yeah,” said Shirley, nonchalant.

“What did they tell you?” Imogen asked, nervous. She thought she acted natural enough, but Shirley saw through her facade. It

was all things that Imogen let slip.

“They said they couldn't split the money because there was another kidnapper who didn’t come. | think they had an accomplice.

Not all of them died, it seems.” Shirley guessed with a frown.
