Stefan didn''tin as he kept his head low and climbed up the rugged and winding cliff. He would


    not hesitate to climb the cliff as long as he could find the answer. He''d even kneel with every step up


    the cliff if he was asked to. The climb wasn''t an easy one, and it would usually take more than an hour,


    but since Stefan was only given half an hour, he ran to the top. There was a small t area on the top


    of the cliff, and the only thing that could be seen was the blue sea ahead.


    The woman was standing at the edge of the cliff, and dug her nails into her palms when she saw


    Stefan. "Mr. Hunt, I''m sorry. I''ve ruined your peaceful life with Ms. Everheart. I... I actually came here to


    end things. I want to atone for my sins." Tess'' face was full of tears, and she looked very pale. In just a


    few days, she''d be haggard and thin as if she was being poisoned too, but it was just her guilt and


    stress weighing on her. 1


    Stefan calmed his rapid breathing and asked Tess calmly, "Don''t step back ... You can''te back if

    you do." He was advising her, but it was also a clear threat.


    Tess shook her head, tears running down her face. "No, I knew I couldn''te back the moment I


    chose to poison Ms. Everheart. You all were so nice to me, but I did such an ungrateful thing. I should


    go to hell, and I don''t deserve your forgiveness!" As she spoke, she started walking backwards. Some


    gravel rolled down the cliff and sshed into the sea.


    "Stop! Don''t move!" Stefan became anxious as he saw parts of the cliff give way. "It doesn''t matter


    whether we forgive you or not. My wife is waiting for me to save her, so I just want you to tell me what


    kind of poison you drugged her with. After that, you can do whatever you want. Jump off a cliff or a


    buiIding-it''s none of my business."


    Ms. Everheart... How is she now?" Tess became grief-stricken when she heard that. "I didn''t want to do


    it, please believe me. That wicked woman captured my family and forced me to do it! But I like Ms.


    Everheart very much; she''s the kindest person I''ve ever met. She shouldn''t suffer like this... She really


    shouldn''t!"


    Which wicked woman asked you to do this?" Stefan asked urgently. He could tell that Tess wouldn''t do


    something so wicked for no reason, but he couldn''t figure out who the mastermind behind this was.


    Who would want to target Renee when she was already blind?


    "I don''t know who she is, but I''m sure you know her... You''ll know her soon even if you don''t know her


    now," Tess whispered cryptically.


    Stefan frowned and looked around. "What do you mean?"


    I know I''ve sinned, and I can''t stay alive if anything happens to Ms.


    Everheart. I tried to figure out what the poison was, but that wicked woman didn''t say anything about it,


    so... I came up with this method. This is the only way I can help you and Ms. Everheart."


    "What method?" Stefan didn''t understand what Tess wanted to do.


    "I messaged that wicked woman, so she''ll be here soon. You can talk to her if you have any questions.


    And I..." Tess nced at the roiling sea below her and closed her eyes. "I can leave with peace of


    mind."
