On the other side of the world, everything was in chaos around Alaric.
Selene had disappeared.
They reported it to the local police, but by evening there was still no news.
Some tourists had seen which direction Selene went and pointed the way.
But that was an unopened area, making search and rescue work extremely difficult.
As time passed, Alaric grew more and more panicked. Disappearing in the snowy mountains meant the person would most likely…
He began to hate himself for going skiing with them.
He left just once, and something happened to Selene!
What was supposed to be a relaxing vacation had turned into this disaster. Delilah, who had suggested coming here to ski, was pale as a sheet.
There was no joy in the group at all, only overwhelming depression.
Ever since Selene was hospitalized, everything had changed.
No one revolved around her anymore.
Alaric was distracted all day, humble and submissive, just hoping Selene would look at him and say a word to him.
Even Beckett and Cassian always stayed with Selene.
They had clearly wanted to ski themselves, but now that Selene was missing, they were blaming it all on her!
These people were acting like they’d gone crazy.
But amid the chaos, Delilah vaguely felt something was wrong.
And this secret unease was confirmed a day later when the search team found Selene’s phone.
After warming it up and charging it, they unlocked the phone.
Among countless missed calls and unread messages, one read message from Delilah stood out starkly.
The date was the day Selene disappeared.
Delilah: “Selene, Alaric and the others are injured. Please bring the first aid kit.”
The address sent was exactly the area where the search team found the phone.
Delilah’s face went white, as if someone had struck her with a club!
She stammered with trembling lips, frantically explaining: “I didn’t send this–this isn’t the message I sent-”
The three men looked at her as if they wanted to tear her apart alive!
The next instant, Alaric grabbed her throat with bloodshot eyes.
“It really was you!! Delilah, last time you also staged that whole thing to frame Selene–if it wasn’t for you, how would Selene have gotten hurt and lost her memory?!”
His expression was terrifying, and Delilah could barely breathe.

“That’s a human life!! Delilah, your jealousy and schemes should have limits! Did you want to kill Selene?!”
People pulled the furious Alaric away, but their looks toward Delilah were no longer friendly.
“If anything happens to Selene, I’ll make sure you pay with your life!”
Beckett held back the enraged Alaric, while Cassian just watched coldly.

Delilah was on the verge of collapse, crying and desperately explaining: “It wasn’t me, really it wasn’t me… this time it really wasn’t me…”
She had indeed sent Selene a message, but definitely not this one!
Delilah’s vision went black. But with the evidence right there, no amount of explanation would help.
This was aimed at her.
Selene must be taking revenge on her.
