" I waved my hand dismissively . " Adrian , there's really no need . Your aunt was charming , actually .

" Instead of dwelling on the topic , I handed him two thick case files . " I have something better for you - two new trademark infringement cases . They're right in your area of expertise ." Adrian's eyes lit up as he examined the files . " So quickly there are new cases . As expected , Attorney Winters keeps her word . Following you , I won't be drinking the northwest wind .

The private investigator looked as professional as always , wearing a dark suit and maintaining His alert demeanor .

" Attorney Winters ," he greeted me , standing as I approached . " Marcus , thank you for meeting on such short notice . " He handed me a paper bag filled with photographs . " These are surveillance photos of Ethan Grey and Vanessa Reed together over the past week ." As I examined the photos , my amber eyes narrowed . The images clearly showed Ethan and Vanessa in intimate conversation at various locations around Harbor City . I curled my lips coldly . " As expected .

" " There's more , " Marcus said , pulling out his phone . " I managed to record their conversation last night at a villa on the outskirts of the city . " He sent the audio file to my phone . I put in my earphones and listened carefully . Ethan's voice came through clearly , filled with anger . " You want to use me to eliminate Olivia ? You know that Frederick Warner threatened to kill her if I contacted the pack authorities , and you still told me to alert them !

" My blood ran cold at the mention of Frederick Warner's name . Vanessa's voice responded with chilling satisfaction . " So what ? I wish Olivia Winters would die! " " Vanessa ! " Ethan roared . " You only said you wanted to break up Olivia and Connor , not that you intended to murder her ! " " That was before , " Vanessa's voice turned vicious . " Now I just want her dead . Only if she dies will Connor finally notice me and see that I'm the one who truly loves him . " " You've lost your mind !

This was more serious than I had anticipated . " Thank you , Marcus , " I said , removing my earphones .

" I will remit the money to your account as agreed . " Marcus nodded . " Be careful , Attorney Winters . These people are more dangerous than they appear .

We traced it back - it's linked to Frederick Warner . " My expression turned icy upon hearing Frederick Warner's name .

The pieces were falling into place , and I realized my oversight . " I should have seen this connection sooner , " I said , my voice cold with self - recrimination . " Ethan has become one of Frederick's pawns . " Dominic hesitated before pulling out his phone . " There's more , Alpha Connor . We have a recording of Vanessa from last night .
