NovelEnglishChapter 177 The door swung open to reveal a disheveled man standing in the doorway. His eyes widened in terror when he saw Serena. In that moment, Serena realized that this was the very man who had tricked her into going to the hospital-Dr. Owens.
Without hesitation, she reached into her bag and pulled out a small handgun, smirking at the man as he turned to flee. "Think you can outrun a bullet?" she taunted.
Dr. Owens turned back, his eyes fixated on the weapon with fear. His legs gave out, and he crumpled to the floor, paralyzed by fear.

Rock, standing nearby, was equally stunned. As a private investigator accustomed to navigating the gray areas of life, he had seen guns before. But never in his wildest dreams did he expect soft-spoken Serena to be wielding one.
"Shut the door," Serena's command snapped Rock back to reality. He complied, closing the door and plunging the already dark room into an even deeper silence.
Serena didn't bother turning on the lights. Instead, she activated her phone's flashlight, casting a cold beam onto the two figures crumpled on the floor.
The harsh light illuminated her face, lending her an ethereal, almost spectral quality. Her eyes, stripped of warmth, seemed merciless and otherworldly, like a specter from the underworld.

Her voice sharpened with frustration. "I'm giving you one last chance. Tellthe truth, or I'll make sure you disappear." "I'll talk, I'll talk!" Dr. Owens broke down, tears streaming down his face. The constant fear while hiding out in a motel had worn him thin. "Dr. Grayson did approach us, but we agreed to help because he said it was Miss Lynwood's wish." Serena narrowed her eyes. "What proof do you have?" "When Dr. Grayson cto me, I secretly recorded our conversation," Dr. Owens admitted, trembling. "I've been listening to it over and over while hiding out, I couldn't have misunderstood. Dr. Grayson said Miss Lynwood is Mr. Vance's favorite. Just a word from her and our lives hang in the balance."
