Chapter 781

Zoe Chamberlain's fingers trembled slightly, but she forced herself to straighten her posture.

"What does she have to do with me?" She sneered. "I didn't personally cause her parents' death."

Vivian Laurent's gaze burned like fire. "But you were an accomplice. If you don't reveal who's behind this, more innocent people will suffer."

"I'm not asking you to take responsibility. I just want to prevent more tragedies." Vivian took a step closer. "Tell me, who's pulling the strings?"

Zoe studied Vivian's face and suddenly realized how different she was from that woman.

There was genuine concern in Vivian's eyes.

"You..." Zoe hesitated.

Vivian frowned. "Me?"

Zoe clenched her teeth. This was the biggest hint she could give. That woman looked so much like Vivian—how could she not know?

"Stop playing the savior." Zoe suddenly raised her voice. "You're the one who insisted on claiming the Night identity. Vivian, the more attention you draw, the more people will die!"

Vivian's eyes turned icy. "You're the real killer here! Impersonating Night and swindling people—can you honestly say you've never harmed anyone?"

The image of Madeline Delmonico's pale face flashed through Zoe's mind.

Those "miracle drugs" laced with morphine were slowly killing the socialite.

"Psycho!" Zoe turned and fled, her high heels tapping a frantic rhythm on the floor.

Vivian watched her retreating figure with a thoughtful expression.

When the call connected, Lucas Lefèvre's voice sounded weary. "There aren't enough leads. It's difficult to investigate."

"Keep close surveillance on Zero." Vivian tapped the desk lightly with her fingers. "I need to know his movements these past two days."

"Zero's been acting normally." Lucas hesitated. "Our team has had him under 24-hour watch. He shouldn't be involved in the car accident."

Vivian tightened her grip on the phone.

If not Zero, then who?

She suddenly remembered Zoe's meaningful emphasis on the word "you."

In the darkness, it felt like unseen eyes were watching her through layers of mist.

Who was this hidden enemy lurking in the shadows?
