Chapter 68

Susan Thompson hailed a taxi and rushed straight to Nicole Capra's villa.

Louis Lynch arrived before her. When Susan reached the property, the man in a baseball cap and face mask was loitering near the gates. Even fully concealed, she recognized him instantly—the murderer who had killed Daniel Almond. She could never mistake him, even if he were reduced to ashes.

Louis was furtively making a phone call. Susan hid behind the wall, clearly hearing his agitated voice: "Nicole Capra, don't push your luck! If you play games with me again, I’ll go straight to Andrew Lucas!"

After a tense silence, the villa gates finally opened. Nicole stepped out, her expression panicked. "Who told you to come here?" she hissed. "Get out of here!"

Susan quietly pulled out her phone. Unfortunately, Louis was too well-covered for a clear photo. She switched to audio recording instead.

"Trying to ditch me?" Louis sneered, stepping closer to Nicole. "Don’t forget, I still have those compromising videos of yours. Imagine if Andrew saw them—"

"Shut up!" Nicole’s face turned ghostly pale. "Delete those videos!"

"Threatening me?" Louis let out a sinister chuckle. "How did your grandmother die? And what about Daniel Almond? Those things—"

"Louis!" Nicole suddenly softened her tone. "Big Brother Louis, let’s talk this through. Just delete the videos, and I’ll give you whatever you want."

"Oh?" He smirked, tilting her chin up. "Then come keep me company tonight."

Nicole bit her lip and nodded. "Fine... After my engagement, I’ll spend three nights a week with you."

Susan clenched her phone tightly. This recording was irrefutable evidence! She tried to back it up to the cloud, but the signal was too weak.

Just then, a black Koenigsegg pulled up. Andrew Lucas stepped out with long strides. "Nicole, my second sister is back. Mom wants us for dinner."

As Nicole moved to greet him, a stray cat darted past Susan’s feet. "Meow—"

"Who’s there?" Nicole whirled around, her face draining of color. She lunged for Susan’s phone. "Sister! You can’t post those photos!"

Andrew frowned as he approached. "What’s going on?"

"Andrew!" Nicole burst into theatrical tears. "She took indecent photos of me and threatened to leak them online to ruin me!"

"Lies!" Susan raised her phone. "I recorded her conspiring with the kidnapper! They plotted Daniel’s murder together!"

As the recording played, Nicole’s face turned deathly pale.
