Jonah had arrived at last. Rebecca had been waiting anxiously, her eyes sweeping the dock for any sign of him.

With him finally here, her mind raced with excitement. "Mr. Pilsner, you've come at just the right time! Hurry up and capture Olivia!" she exclaimed.

Jonah strode forward, his men following close behind. His cold, piercing gaze quickly fell on Rebecca.

With her thoughts spiraling, Rebecca shouted, "Mr. Pilsner, it was Olivia who killed Hailey! She tried to flee on the ferry, but her plan fell apart. You've arrived right on cue. Go ahead and arrest her. Hailey deserves justice."

Olivia turned to Rebecca. "Do you even hear yourself? Can't you see what's going on?"

Jonah sneered. "Come on, Rebecca, who was the real mastermind behind Hailey's poisoning?"

Rebecca pointed straight at Olivia. "It was her, Mr. Pilsner! Olivia poisoned the chicken noodle soup and fed it to Hailey. You already knew this, didn't you? You even sent your men to capture her, but she got away. She was trying to flee from her own crimes!"

Olivia's gaze oozed with contempt. "Rebecca, you're the one responsible for Hailey's death!"

"Mr. Pilsner, don't listen to her!" Rebecca quickly retorted. "Olivia's the real culprit!" "Would you like to meet someone, Rebecca?" Jonah asked.

Rebecca paused, a flicker of confusion crossing her face. Why would Jonah want her to meet someone now?

"What? Mr. Pilsner, the only thing that matters now is avenging Hailey! We have to arrest Olivia right away!"

"Rebecca, I think it's best you meet this person," Olivia chimed in.

Rebecca's eyes darted between Olivia and Jonah.

Why were they both so insistent? Who could this person possibly be?

A sense of dread crept over her. "And just who exactly is this 'special guest'?" she asked.

As her words fell, a sleek luxury car glided to a stop. Jonah stepped forward and opened the rear door.

In no time, a familiar silhouette appeared.

The moment Rebecca saw who it was, her breath hitched in her chest. She bou

frozen in disbelief.

Stood motionless, her cheet

It felt as though her mind had exploded. Her eyes widened, unable to comprehend what was unfolding before her.

It was none other than Hailey herself.

How could it be her? How was this even possible?

Jonah leaned in and gently helped her out of the car.

A loose dress hung gracefully over her figure. Her limbs were slender, and herbelly had a distinct curve. Her petite face was flushed with a rosy glow. She looked undeniably beautiful.

Rebecca rubbed her eyes. She was convinced she had to be hallucinating.

Wasn't Hailey supposed to be dead?

She had seen her collapse in the hospital, blood spilling from her lips. How could a person who should have been dead suddenly stand before her?

Still, there was no denying the reality.

With Jonah steadying her, Hailey made her way toward Rebecca.

"You look rather surprised to see me, don't you?" she said with a smile playing on

her lips.
