with properly. It’s over for James this time.”
Axel nodded in agreement. “I'll head back and start making preparations.”
“Let's not rush things and alert him prematurely. We need to be absolutely sure about things before we take action.”
After a moment of contemplation, Bella suddenly asked with curiosity. “Drew, where did you get this evidence? It has only been
two days since Ash’s case becpublic. It seems impossible for you to gather so much information in such a short time.”
Drew's eyes were deep, like an impenetrable forest. “I went to Pivotage the other night. James was there that night, and | intended
to confront him and avenge Ash.”
Bella and Justin immediately tensed up.
For most people, Pivotage was a paradise of pleasure.
But for Drew, if Christopher caught him there, it could easily bechis grave.

Christopher would not hesitate to kill, regardless of who the person was.
“But | didn’t see James there. Instead, | met Yvonne.”
“The woman who looks like me?”
“Yeah.”
Drew was always honest with his younger sister. Since he had promised to help them investigate, he did not hold back. “She
helpedavoid the surveillance cameras at Pivotage. When she heard | wanted revenge on James, she feared I'd cause too much
trouble and alert Christopher. So, she gavethese materials instead to pass on to you both.”
The young couple exchanged astonished looks.
Axel focused intently on Drew. “And then? What happened?”
“And then | left.”
“But that beautiful woman saved you. Didn't she make your heart race? Did you not feel like embracing her?”
“I'm into men.”
His blunt statement left Axel at a loss for words.
Drew grinned playfully. “I'm just kidding. Look at how easily you get flustered.”
“Congratulations, Drew.”
Bella raised her Coke with a knowing smile. “Our plan is starting to take shape. It seems Ms. Smith has genuinely fallen for you.”
Drew tightened his grip on the can, his gaze cold. “Well, if she’s fallen for me, it'll be the beginning of her nightmare.”
“Heroes find it hard to resist beauty, and beauties find it hard to resist Drew. Our brother here really has a way with both men and
women. Didn't Dr. Larson also fall for your charms and end up being swept off his feet by you? Now this one, too?”
Axel could not help but clap twice. “Sigh, Drew, we should really declare your face a national treasure.”
Ralph quickly shoved a piece of chicken into Axel’s mouth. “You can joke about this with us, but don’t do it in Ash's presence. You
know his relationship with my cousin. He'd get jealous.”

Axel finally realized what he had said and wanted to slap himself.
How could he joke about Arnold?
“Ms. Smith's willingness to help you shows that there's already a rift between her and Christopher. At the very least, her attitude
toward him isn’t as steadfast as before.”
Bella clenched her fist in a gesture of encouragement. “Drew, you must strike while the iron is hot. Try to bring her over to our
side!”
“Thanks for your hard work, Drew,” Justin said, his arm around Bella's shoulders, feeling deeply grateful.
“Just wait and see.”
Suddenly, Drew's mind flashed with the image of Yvonne's eyes. They were as clear as water and as bright as stars, making his
heart skip a beat.
However, his cold logic quickly overruled the fleeting distraction. He ruthlessly extinguished the faint light that had appeared in his
dark pupils.
“Once I've got every bit of useful information from her, I'll make sure to destroy both her and Christopher together.”
