"Jameson and Carl have been eliminated. Who else could be targeting Amber?"

A sharp glint flashed in Jasper's eyes as a thought struck him. "Could it be Justin or Sheryl?" he asked, his voice low and tense.

He recalled seeing Justin in the living room earlier that evening, wide awake instead of resting. Was Justin waiting for something? Or perhaps, provoking him in subtle defiance?

"They are the only ones I can think of with a grudge against Amber."

Alyssa's anxiousness made her voice tremble. "Having worked for Jameson for years, Amber must have visited Mosgravia multiple times to meet with Sir-who is, in fact, Justin.

"Justin wouldn't have met anyone else besides Jameson. But how could he leave no trace after all those interactions? Amber must have figured out his true identity. And Justin he must have realized who she is, even with her changed appearance."

Jasper's expression darkened. "So he decided to eliminate her as a precaution."

Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes, threatening to spill. "We've already uncovered his lies and started suspecting his crimes. Why did he have to go after Amber?"

Jasper's gaze hardened. "Because your brother, Axel, loves her deeply. Now that she's part of the Taylor family, Justin doesn't just want to get rid of her he wants to use her to manipulate you and Axel."
