Chapter 581:
“Ms. Campbell, are you still awake?”
Carrie quickly typed back, “Yes. What's up?”
Within moments, several photos and videos flooded her screen. As she opened them, the investigator called.
“Ms. Campbell, I've recovered sinteresting data. The man’s nis Kylo Miller. | tracked down his old phone
at a secondhand shop and managed to recover its contents. He's been in contact with Lise the entire time,” the
investigator continued. “And here's another link—Kylo attended vocational school with the son of your former
housekeeper.”
The voice on the other end was distorted, as though being processed through an electronic device. But Carrie

Carrie's grip on her phone tightened, her knuckles white. “And?”
“I can’t say definitively, not with the evidence I've gathered so far. It’s enough to suggest a connection, but it
wouldn't hold up in court. Her lawyer could exploit the gaps easily.”
The investigator hesitated, then lowered his voice. “Ms. Campbell, if you're looking for justice, you might need to
consider less conventional methods. | can connect you with someone who specializes in... alternative solutions.
The law is what it is—we can’t always rely on it to deliver the outcwe want.”
Carrie's heart clenched.
A hint of conflict flickered in her eyes.
Carrie inhaled deeply, her chest rising and falling as her thoughts churned with the remnants of rage and

For a fleeting moment, she’d considered taking Lise down with her—dragging her into the abyss—but clarity
returned like the first light of dawn after a sleepless night.
No. She wouldn't waste her life on someone as vile as Lise. That woman had already stolen enough from her: her

Carrie refused to give her the satisfaction of taking anything more. When she finally spoke, her voice was an icy
mask of calm. “No need,” she said, her tone devoid of emotion.
The investigator hesitated, as if weighing whether to say more. Eventually, he added, “One more thing, Ms.
Campbell. Someone else is also investigating Lise. But don’t worry—I've secured the key evidence. There’s no
way it'll be destroyed.”

look into this himself. “Understood,” she replied evenly before ending the call.
She sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.
If her investigator could uncover so much, Kristopher, with his resources, could surely uncover even more.
Perhaps he already had.
