This meant that a day and a half had passed since the ident.


    Quintusid another picture before me.


    "It was a hit-and-run in a secluded area, so Ms. Cylon was only discovered and taken to the hospital an hourter. However, when we arrived at the hospital, she had already been taken away by someone else. Right now, we''re looking into the identity of those people. ording to the medical personnel who attended to her, she seemed to know them and willingly agreed to leave with them."


    I must have looked terrible, so Quintus did his best to console me. "What we can confirm is that Ms. Cylon''s injuries aren''t superficial, but they aren''t life- threatening either. She''ll recover in time."


    I inhaled deeply. This was an information overload. I had no idea what to believe!


    Thankfully, Felicia was alright, and she''d left with someone she trusted. That was cause for celebration. I felt slightly relieved.


    "Where''s Dn?"


    Quintus replied, "He''s been arrested for scamming and kidnapping. We''ve handed him over to the police. Before that, we interrogated him privately. Here''s his statement. You''re wee to read through it, Mr. White."


    I took it immediately. After reading through the entire document, the full story was finally revealed to me.


    This whole scheme had been nned even before Felicia stepped onto the cruise. The masterminds behind it were Roxanne and Dn.


    They were in some sort of rtionship, but neither was loyal. Dn had a gaggle of girlfriends outside his rtionship with Roxanne, while she flirted with a rotation of wealthy young men.


    One day, while Dn was driving Roxanne home after work, he saw Felicia-and it was love at first sight.


    He wanted to pursue her. However, Felicia shot him down immediately.


    When Roxanne found out, she wasn''t angry at all. Instead, she even tried to act as his wingman.


    Their n was for Roxanne to frame Felicia while they were on the cruise, putting her in a hopeless situation. Dn would then swoop in as her knight in shining armor, earning her gratitude and, ultimately, her heart.


    It was an excellent n, and it had been executed smoothly at first.


    Felicia was framed as the thief who stole Cole''s ring. However, Dn''s heroic moment was stolen by Travis, who descended from the skies in his helicopter.


    Travis revealed his identity and introduced Felicia as his sister-inw, which, by association, also revealed who I was.


    The members of Felicia''s girl group were too terrified to act against her after learning about my identity. Roxanne included. Nevertheless, Roxanne schemed to possess me by attempting to rece Felicia as my official girlfriend.


    Dn, still infatuated with Felicia, agreed to proceed with the second phase of their n-one even more deplorable than the first.


    Roxanne swapped out Felicia''s SIM card, cleverly programming it with her own contact information. She replicated Felicia''s phonebook, ensuring that while the names remained the same, every number was actually hers. Felicia''s real number had been removed.


    As a result, Felicia''s calls to me never reached me; she was unknowingly dialing Roxanne instead.


    What a sinister scheme.


    When Felicia arrived at the airport, she got into the car because Roxanne, impersonating me, had told her that I''d arranged for someone to pick her up in that luxury vehicle.
