Judith walked out of the cemetery in a daze,overwhelmed by the huge amount of information.

Is Stella really still alive?I saw her buried with my own eyes!

Recalling this series of events,Judith suddenly remembered that the hospital where Stella was treated seemed to be the property of one of their families.The mystery in her heart became bigger and clearer.

Judith was about to call a taxi,but suddenly she felt a slight tingling sensation in her neck and she lost consciousness the next second.

After an unknown amount of time,the cold touch of the floor woke her up slowly.

It was dark in front of her eyes.Judith moved her body and tried to take off the blindfold,but found that her hands and feet were tied.

"Is there anyone here?"

"Hello?Where is this?"

Judith's voice was dry and she kept shouting.

But no matter how she shouted,the only response from her was the empty echo.

Gradually,Judith stopped struggling.Although she didn't know who started it,the most important thing now was to save her energy for emergencies.

It was dark all around,as if she couldn't feel the passage of time.

Suddenly,a hint of smoke in the air made her alarm bells ring.Bursts of fire came from the spacious and cold surroundings and the light and shadow swayed through the blindfold.

Judith desperately turned her red wrist and crawled to stand up.

At this time,the cover in front of her was torn open and the sudden light made her turn her eyes away reflexively,leaving a few drops of physiological tears.

In the blur,she seemed to see a tall figure disappear from her sight.Judith didn't have time to see clearly and the fire around her had grown bigger.

The effect of the anesthetic gradually wore off and she half-knelt on the ground,reaching out to the rope on her feet.The fire gradually approached and the air became thinner and thinner.

Finally,at the last moment,Judith successfully untied the rope and she ran desperately in the direction where the figure disappeared.

But unfortunately,the door was tightly closed and no matter how she fiddled with it,it didn't move at all and even burned her hands with several blisters.

Almost in an instant,Judith made a decisive move and crashed into the glass window beside her.The fire burned the wood a little loose and under the continuous impact of her body,with a punch,the glass shattered and she immediately escaped from the gap.

Judith breathed the air greedily and the sound of the building collapsing behind her seemed like a death warrant,forcing her to keep running.

Finally,at the fork in the road,she met the fire brigade and police who came to rescue.

Judith followed them back to the police station to make a record.The female police officer put a blanket on her and simply treated her wounds.

According to the on-site investigation,a burnt lighter was found and some burning residues were left around.

The investigator told Judith that although the source of the fire was known,the instigator had not been found.What was even more strange was that the surveillance cameras nearby were all broken for some reason and it would take some time to repair them.

Judith refused the policewoman's request to send her home,as she had already caused enough trouble.The kidnapping incident had left her with a psychological trauma.

On the way home,Judith decisively chose the main road,but unfortunately ran into a group of rich second-generations.

One luxury supercar after another flashed past her and stopped.Judith subconsciously moved away,but heard a familiar voice.

"Steven has sent people to kidnap Judith as you ordered to teach her a lesson.The surveillance cameras within a radius of 100 miles have also been destroyed.She won't think it was us who did it."

"According to Judith's personality,she will probably cry and come to Steven for comfort.Steven is not allowed to feel sorry for her then."

"That's right,Steven.Judith,that bitch,actually dared to hit our friends.We must not let her go easily.We must also get back what happened to Maddie last time."

Steven's expression was unclear.He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke,leaned lazily on the sports car and said,"Judith has been a little confused about who she is recently.It's good to teach her a lesson."

Hearing what Steven said,everyone started to make a fuss again.The sarcastic and mocking words were transmitted word by word into Judith's ears hiding behind the notice board.

Disappointment melted in her eyes and a tear fell from the corner of her eyes.

Judith sent the recorded audio to the policewoman with trembling hands.She wiped her face,thinking that she would not cry for Steven again.

But people were all made of flesh and blood.How many times must they experience disappointment before they would not be sad because of others'hurt?

In the next few days,Judith did not come to Steven to express her sympathy as they expected.She returned to her hometown with doubts in her heart.

Knocked on the door and the old and kind face of Steven’s mother,Sally Wilson,came into view.

Since Stella's death,she quitted her original job and had been working as a volunteer in the welfare home.Sally,who was once glorious,had now become an old woman with gray hair.

"Judith,long time no see.How come you have time to come back to see me,an old woman,today."

Judith exchanged a few words with her and Sally was still as gentle and kind as she remembered.

After stating her purpose,she came to Stella's room.

When Judith saw the furnishings in the room,her nose was sore.The room was very clean and everything was the same as when Stella was there.

She easily found the relevant certificate of the hospital.

She remembered that Steven once mentioned that because Maddie was weak and sickly,the Hubert Family invested a lot of hospitals.And Stella's condition was found out during the school's unified physical examination.The hospital on the report was a business under the Hubert Family.

A guess exploded in her mind and she immediately took a photo of the medical certificate to the private detective.

Judith asked Sally to have a good rest and declined the request to stay for dinner.

She couldn't wait to return to England and called Maddie to confront her face to face.

And Maddie seemed to have been waiting for Judith for a long time.She immediately sent a location for her to find her.

The car drove towards the villa area,Judith's hands trembled and the excitement of the truth about to be revealed surged all over her body.

Pushing open the door,Maddie sat on the sofa in exquisite attire,leisurely drinking tea.

"It seems you already know.Are you here to call me to task?"

Judith didn't understand why Maddie wasn't afraid at all,frowned and said,"The so-called free physical examination back then was simply to obtain our data to match you."

Maddie nodded in agreement,supported herself on the sofa with both hands and asked back,"Then do you know why I chose Stella?"

Judith shook her head,this was the most puzzling thing for her.Logically speaking,Stella and Maddie grew up together,why was it have to be Stella?

Maddie smiled."Because I hate Stella who always looks like she wants the best for others.How can she understand us,the patients,when she has a healthy body?She always gives advice in a self-righteous way,which is really hypocritical."

Maddie became more and more excited as she spoke,"Originally,I was going to choose one of the many people who matched successfully and fake her accidental death.But when I saw Stella's name on the physical examination list,even if the matching was unsuccessful,I wanted her to taste the despair."

"Doesn't she always make people brave?Will she still be so calm when she really comes to that?"

Judith widened her eyes in disbelief and she forced herself to calm down.

"You know,because I was born with a congenital heart disease,I have always been very inferior and no one wants to play with me.It was Stella who always enlightened me.I am grateful to her for sticking with me for countless days and nights.She always warms the people around her."

Judith gritted her teeth,"But it was because of your selfishness and meanness that you killed such a good person."

Maddie shrugged indifferently and said casually,"I originally wanted to scare her.After all,she is a member of the Wilson Family and I don't want to cause trouble for myself.But I didn't expect that she actually chose to donate her heart.My parents were afraid that the Wilson Family would find out the truth and cause trouble for me,so they sent me abroad overnight."

"But I didn't expect that they haven't found out until now.It seems that the Wilson Family really doesn't care about the life and death of them,mother and daughter.Then what am I worried about?I will return home after the operation."

Judith was so angry that she trembled all over and a fishy sweetness surged into her throat and she forced it down.And Maddie seemed to appreciate her collapse and added fuel to the fire again.

"But logically speaking,you are the murderer who killed Stella.After all,her heart is with you,not with me."

Maddie stood up and pointed to the paper box on the table,her tone brisk,"I know your phone has recording turned on,but there is a jammer in this box,so it's useless."

Judith subconsciously avoided it,holding the phone tighter and tighter.Maddie seemed to be still unsatisfied,she took out a shabby little box and shook it.

Judith's alarm bells immediately rang,she stumbled to her feet,the style of this box was too familiar to her.

"Give it back to me!"

Maddie dodged to the side,"In order to welcome you,I specially asked someone to dig out Stella's ashes so that you two sisters can reunite."

A wave of anger swept through her body and everything around her seemed to be in chaos.She stared with her eyes wide open and she couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward to wrestle with Maddie.

During the dispute,the box fell and the liquid inside spilled out and the strong smell rushed into the nose.

It was gasoline!

Judith thought it was not good.

The liquid quickly flowed around,making people unable to move.

Judith stared at Maddie defensively,only to see her pick up the candlestick on the table by herself,with innocent eyes but cruel words.

"You know,last time you were kidnapped,Steven and his men just wanted to scare you.I bribed someone to set the fire,but I didn't expect you to escape.But you won't be so lucky this time.I've already informed Steven and his men.Let's make a bet and see who he will save?"

After that,she loosened her wrist and a raging fire instantly ignited around the house.The thick smoke made people cough.

At this moment,Judith seemed to hear Steven's anxious voice.

"Maddie,are you in there?Answer me quickly!"

His brother dissuaded him,"Steven,how can you get in with such a big fire?Let's wait for the fire brigade to come."

"That's right,Steven,even if you can get in,the fire is getting bigger and bigger.How are you and Maddie going to get out?"

But Steven's attitude was very firm."No,Maddie has just recovered.She can't wait that long."

After that,he ignored the dissuasion,poured water from his head to his whole body and rushed in without any hesitation.

The fire blurred her vision."Maddie,where are you?"

"Steven,I'm here,save me."Shouted Maddie.

Maddie fell to the ground weakly,crying."I don't know what I said to upset Miss Corliss,she suddenly knocked over the candle.Steven,I'm so scared."

Steven didn't hesitate for a moment,picked her up and didn't even look at Judith next to him.

"Maddie is not in good health,I'll take her out first.Don't worry,the fire brigade will be here soon."

After that,he hugged Maddie and ran away without looking back.

Looking at Steven's hasty departure,Judith's heart was calm.

She was surprised to find that Steven could no longer shake her.She was really disappointed in him.Judith didn't sit there and wait for death,she bent over to reduce the intake of carbon dioxide.

Long before she came,she had made all the necessary preparations.In addition to recording on her phone,she also wore a small camera on her chest.

At this time,the private detective who detected that she was in danger had arrived and rescued her.

Steven rushed to the hospital and confirmed that Maddie was fine.Suddenly,he remembered Judith's disappointed eyes in the firelight.

Looking at the time,Judith should have been rescued.

Steven sent her a message for the first time but received no response.

Maddie was not sleeping well on the hospital bed.Steven comforted her,but he couldn't help thinking of another woman in his mind.

Judith must have been scared at the time.Seeing that he had abandoned her,she must have been desperate.However,the situation was urgent and he could only rescue Maddie first.

Steven refreshed his phone repeatedly,but still did not receive any message from Judith.He frowned immediately.He was really ignorant.But for some reason,Steven was not angry in his heart.He raised his mouth with some pride,thinking that this was Judith's trick of playing hard to get.

At most,he could just coax her when the time comes,after all,Judith had always been like this.No matter how fierce their quarrel was before,Judith would come back to him in a few days.

Thinking of this,Steven was in a good mood.

Little did he know that at this time,Judith had already dragged her luggage that had been prepared long ago to the airport.

Before leaving,she handed the evidence she obtained to the private detective and asked him to sort it out and give it to Steven.

At the same time,she also submitted what Maddie and the Hubert Family did to the court.

The hundredth thing she did for Steven was to let him see the true face of Maddie and let Stella rest in peace.

Steven,I don't owe you anything.

After explaining the matter,she decisively deleted the mesages of Steven and others,threw the phone card into the trash can and boarded the plane instead.

The blue sky passed by her eyes like a painting and she put her hand on her heart to feel the vigorous beating.

***

Steven stayed with Maddie in the hospital all night.During this time,he kept checking the message box,but did not receive any message from Judith.He sneered in his heart and learned to show off.

The next morning,Steven helped Maddie complete the discharge procedures,escorted her home safely and then came to the company.

As soon as he stepped into the office,he saw the invitation letter for the 50th birthday sent by Charles Wilson,his father.

When Steven was eight years old,his parents divorced and his mother took his sister away,leaving him in the Wilson Family to suffer from his stepmother.

After the stepmother came in,she soon gave birth to a younger brother.

For the sake of her own son,she had often put pressure on Charles and sowed discord between him and his son,which led to a bad relationship between Steven and his family and even to the point where Charles wanted to give up his eldest son.

It was not until Steven’s career improved and the company grew that Charles saw him again.

Steven played with the invitation letter indifferently.He had already thought about giving the development rights of the South City project that Judith had won to the old man as a gift.

There were piles of documents on the table.Steven looked at them carelessly and called his assistant to order,“Go to the auction to buy a few diamond necklaces for me.”

The assistant immediately said,“Okay,Mr.Wilson,should we send them to Miss Hubert’s residence as usual?”

“No,”Steven said.

His hand paused as he signed,“Send it to Judith.”
