Craig gave a smile, nodded, and walked away.

Everyone who came back from Solmaris had some kind of mental baggage. All were carrying something.

"Kelly, I just saw Craig. What was he doing here?" Darren was still on medical leave but clearly bored, so he came by to see her.

A teenager trailed closely behind him, clinging to his side like he couldn't bear to be separated for even a second.noveldrama

"He came to apologize," Kelly replied with a faint smile, saying no more.

Darren frowned and asked, "After everything he's done, what good is an apology?"

Kelly shook her head and defended Craig. "After the incident with his dad, he changed a lot."

Darren didn't say anything to that. He just gave a quiet nod and sat nearby. "He quit the hospital, you know. No one could talk him out of it. Dr. Chasey's still trying and hasn't given up, but it's like Craig made up his mind-he's done being a doctor."

He looked at Kelly and continued, "While you were away, he cut ties with all of us. Melody and I tried reaching out plenty of times, but he ignored us. Later we heard he went into business-medical equipment, working with Lynch Group. A lot of people think he sided with the enemy, all about money now, no loyalty."

Kelly was rather surprised that Craig was working with Beau. She probed, "Craig's selling medical equipment for Beau's company?"

Then why did he tell me he was living off the compensation from his dad's death?

Craig had done it on purpose. He wanted her to know he had a reason for getting close to Beau.

"Yeah, word is Beau values him a lot. Even Juliet doesn't acknowledge Craig as her son anymore." Darren let out a long sigh.

Juliet Cooper was Tyson's widow. Tyson and Craig had gone to Solmaris together for five years. Juliet spent those years crying at home, hoping for them to return. But when her husband finally did, he passed away not long after.

The couple was separated forever.

Everyone knew Tyson's death had something to do with Beau. And yet Craig still went to work under him for profit. Of course Juliet couldn't understand. Of course she was angry.

"Let's not talk about Craig anymore. What brings you here?" Kelly changed the subject.

"Beau reached out to Felix," Darren said, glancing at the teenager behind him. He looked young; due to his frail frame, he looked like a minor.

Felix Isaac stayed hidden behind Darren, clutching his shirt, clearly anxious. He trusted only Darren.

Darren explained, "His name on his ID is Felix Isaac."

He hoped Felix could forget his past, stay happy, and be himself again.

Kelly nodded slowly. "Don't worry. Even if Beau reaches out, he can't do anything to you for now

Felix's grip tightened on Darren's shirt. "H-he won't ever let me go, he won't spare me."

Felix was the only person from the Beluga Club willing to testify. Every other whistleblower had died mysteriously-inside that very club.

"What do you think Beau's after-contacting him now? Give it a guess. Darren asked, gently trying to calm Felix, his eyes fixed on Kelly.

She shook her head, clueless.

Legally, Felix was a protected witness. Beau shouldn't be able to touch him.

"Beau's trying to convince Felix that Clarissa is the one truly running Beluga Club and she acted alone. That it has nothing to do with his family," Darren said, his brow furrowed. "I don't know what game he's playing."

Kelly stared at him, shocked.

So that was it. Beau wanted to use Felix to cut his family out of the whole mess- shift all the blame onto Clarissa alone.

This implied that he had entirely forsaken Clarissa.

Was she really a pawn to them? Just disposable?

Kelly couldn't wrap her head around it.

"What are the police saying?"

Darren shook his head. "So far, with the evidence and Felix's testimony, all signs point to Clarissa. The public is firmly against her, too. People are convinced she is responsible for all the issues."

The trail pointed to Clarissa, but there wasn't enough tangible evidence yet.

A witness like Felix was crucial-but they needed physical proof too.

"Kelly! You need to see the news-Clarissa's all over the headlines now!" Melody burst through the door, excited.

"Entertainment news is blowing up. Turns out her crime involved too many industries and ticked off a lot of people. One influencer even posted a detailed list of her alleged crimes. Forget fighting for custody; she might not even be able to stay in Seaville now!"

Kelly swiftly reached for her phone and began to investigate. Sure enough-a celebrity had publicly exposed Clarissa, calling her a venomous heiress. The internet was exploding.

She couldn't believe it. Kelly had planned to sway public opinion, but things were moving too easily. Too

fast.

Uneasy, she quickly dialed Caden. "Are you the one who arranged for that celebrity to ex

Clarissa?"

"What celebrity? No, I haven't made any moves yet," Caden replied, not aware of the incident.

Kelly frowned and sat back in her chair. She didn't understand what was going on anymore.

Taking Felix's words into account, it was obvious. Beau had set Clarissa up.

But why now? Why did he suddenly give up his daughter? No parents would harm their children-so what was this?

What was going on beneath the surface between father and daughter?

Every move Beau made reflected the mastermind behind him. And those people- whoever they were-seemed desperate to get rid of Clarissa. Why?
