“As for Serena, everyone just happened to like that Tanzanite, so please don’t use this to put anyone down or attack others.”
Roxanne spoke really nicely, and after she finished, she bowed to
everyone.
It was just when she stood up that her body suddenly went limp and she fainted.
Roxanne, things were a mess over at Maxwell’s.
In the end, Stephanie only saw Maxwell pick up Roxanne and hurry into the villa.
Not only Stephanie saw it, everyone there saw it.
Jeremiah looked at Stephanie worriedly.
He wanted to say something, but there were reporters all around, so he had to keep quiet and just yelled at the people over there with his
phone.
The three members of the Wilkinson family saw this. Harrison pouted.
That gorgeous woman rolled her eyes too.
Everyone’s reactions were different.
And Stephanie.
She just looked away calmly.
It seemed like the person carrying Roxanne inside wasn’t really her

husband who had been with her for years, and all of this had nothing to do with her.
“Woo–woo–woo-”
There was the sound of a horn from the villa again.
Then, the sound of propellers came.
Stephanie looked up and saw the helicopter above.
Jeremiah protected Stephanie and headed for the helicopter.
Stephanie nodded and walked into the villa with the security guards who finally made their way out of the crowd.
The people from the Conway Group who had been stuck on the way already made it here, and they opened up a path for the guests at the dinner to leave.
The guests left in an orderly way, and since there were security guards keeping things in order, people here also gradually thinned out.
When she stepped onto the stairs to the rooftop, Stephanie took one last look back.
On the first floor, the crowd automatically parted. Roxanne had just woken up. Maxwell was sitting next to her, looking down and saying something to her.
His furrowed brows and slightly pursed lips all showed his concern for Roxanne.
“Let’s go.” Jeremiah glanced in the direction Stephanie was looking and said softly.
Stephanie lowered her eyes a little, then turned around and didn’t look

back.
“Mm.” she replied.
Then, Stephanie followed Jeremiah out of the hallway.
Maxwell looked up in the first floor lobby like he sensed something, but all he saw was the empty rooftop entrance and the pitch–black night.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-”
The sound of the propeller came, and for some reason, his heart felt empty.
“Max, sorry for making you worry.” Roxanne said weakly beside me, “I was too anxious and planned too many things.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s just… I didn’t have much time left.”
Maxwell frowned even more, feeling bad. He shook his head at Roxanne and said it was okay.
On the other side, in the helicopter.
Stephanie looked at the city below.
Taking off from Hill Villa, the helicopter flew over the crowded mountain road and headed to the spot on the low–altitude route the Conway family had applied for.
The traffic below was still crowded, but you could see that the middle lane already had cars passing through.
The wind from the propeller was a bit strong and blew Stephanie’s long

hair up.
Stephanie looked at the traffic below. She didn’t really know what she was thinking, just felt kind of tired.
The next moment, a suit jacket was draped over her shoulders.
There was still a bit of warmth from someone else on the suit, along with that faint pine scent from them.
Stephanie turned around and saw Jeremiah’s hair all messed up by the wind, and his worried eyes.
He opened his mouth and said something, but all the sound was drowned out by the loud buzzing of the propellers, and she couldn’t hear him.
Below, Hill Villa parking lot.
Maxwell and Roxanne were already back at the car.
First, I put Roxanne in the passenger seat, and Maxwell took the briefcase with the auction item from the Conway Group.
Opened it to check, Tanzanite and pigeon blood ruby just sat quietly in the box.
“Yeah.” Maxwell nodded, showing he got it.
Watching the people from the Conway Group leave, he didn’t get into the car right away.
The Bugatti Centodieci sat quietly here, Maxwell glanced at the reporters in the distance who were kept out by the Conway Group security, and he lowered his eyes a little.
Lips pressed together, Maxwell took out his phone.

In the message screen, his long fingers swiped all the way, trying to find something.
Finally found Stephanie’s chat box.
Unlike the endless red dots popping up on the screen, it was quiet, not making a sound.
She still didn’t look for him.
“Max?” Roxanne’s voice came.
