The next day, Scarlett checked her phone first thing, but there was still nothing from Vincent. Her patience was wearing thin.

Out of options, she opened Twitter and searched for the account “Rina.” Sure enough, the IP location showed Sea City, the major metropolitan area nearby.

Cross-referencing that with some leaked vacation paparazzi shots—along with the distinct seaside scenery and architecture in the background-Scarlett finally pieced it together-they were at a coastal town.

She immediately booked the earliest flight she could find, though the soonest available wasn’t until that afternoon. By the time she landed, it was already 7 PM.

In late autumn, night fell early, and by seven, it was completely dark outside.

Scarlett quickly hailed a taxi. She kept pressing the driver, urging him to hurry as she directed him toward Vincent’s likely location.

Meanwhile, near the most upscale beachfront hotel, a lively bonfire party was in full swing on

the shore.

Staff members were bustling around-some grilling skewers, others cracking open fresh

coconuts…

Closer to the water’s edge, Vincent and Sabrina were playing with Vanessa.

Vanessa was absolutely enchanted by the ocean. She’d gone diving during the day, combed the beach for shells at dusk, and now, even after dark, she was still splashing around happily by the waves. She was having so much fun, she secretly wished she could just stay here forever.

Around the bonfire, small tables were set up with all kinds of freshly grilled skewers, along with chilled beer and mulled wine.

Daniel and Harris were seated at one of them, sipping their drinks and occasionally glancing over at the cheerful “family scene” nearby.

After a while, Daniel checked his phone and let out a low chuckle. “Get this,” he said, turning the screen toward Harris. “I just listed a few of Nolan’s so-called ‘misdeeds, and people are already jumping all over him online. And that’s not all-after lying low for days, he finally went out in disguise recently, but someone recognized him, gave him a beating, and even messed up his

hands…”

Daniel shook his head, clicking his tongue mockingly. “Just think about it—a surgeon with damaged hands? His career is pretty much over, don’t you think?”

He laughed even harder, clearly taking pride in Nolan’s downfall.

Harris, however, had been frowning the whole time. He didn’t agree with any of this, but he kept his thoughts to himself.

Daniel, completely oblivious to Harris’ disapproval, kept scrolling through his phone. “I just planted the seed, but people online are running with it. They’re already bringing up bribery and illegal fundraising. All I have to do is give it a little nudge, and others will do the dirty work for me…”

That was when Harris finally cut in, his tone tense, “Daniel, do you honestly believe what you’re doing is right?”

Daniel shot him a sharp look, clearly irritated. “Why wouldn’t it be? He had the nerve to go after Vincent’s woman-he brought this on himself. He just picked a fight with the wrong guy.”

Harris let out a heavy sigh. “Vincent doesn’t have feelings for her. She can’t stay ‘Mrs. Stewart’ forever, can she? Even though she’s married, she still has the right to find her own happiness.”

Hearing that, Daniel got even more worked up. “Have you lost your mind? Maybe you should see a doctor yourself.”

Harris didn’t back down. “Daniel, Nolan is a skilled doctor. He operated on one of my friends.”

Daniel just shrugged it off. “Not my problem. I’d never need his services anyway.”

Harris raised his voice slightly. “Maybe you won’t, but other people will.”

Daniel paused, caught off guard for a second, then waved a dismissive hand. “Still not my

concern.”

“Do you have any idea how long it takes to train a good doctor? Nolan’s already a top surgeon, and he’s still young. Have you thought about how many patients he could have saved?”

Daniel had heard enough. He snapped, “Harris, drop it. You’re in no position to lecture me.”

Nearby, Vincent was helping Sabrina and Vanessa dig for starfish and catch small crabs. The sound of crashing waves mostly drowned out the argument.

But Daniel and Harris’ quarrel grew louder and more heated. Their faces were flushed, necks tense-it looked like they were on the verge of throwing punches.

Finally, Harris realized it was pointless. He couldn’t get through to Daniel. Frustrated, he turned and stormed away from the hotel.

As he stepped outside, he nearly collided with Scarlett, who had just climbed out of a taxi.

Scarlett looked up, recognized Harris, and knew instantly she’d found the right place. A faint, almost imperceptible smile touched her lips.

Harris saw her expression and frowned in confusion. “Scarlett? What are you doing here?”

In years past, Scarlett had a habit of showing up unannounced wherever they were.

It had been a while since she’d pulled a stunt like that.

Harris had honestly thought she’d finally moved on from chasing after Vincent. Clearly, he was wrong-some things never changed.

Scarlett could guess what he was thinking just from the look on his face, but she didn’t bother explaining herself.

Instead, she just asked coolly, “Where are they now?”

Harris couldn’t help but notice something different in her demeanor. She seemed… calmer, more composed. Not the desperate, clingy girl he remembered.
