Chapter 666

By the time Tim returned back to Meadow Castle, it was already evening. “Tim…” Sage went running
downstairs to welcome him. Other than feeling a coldness from her brother’s body, she also smelled
some bloody odor. She looked at Tim’s eyes and saw his blue pupils glowing with coldness, as cold as
the ice cone formed on the winter day, so sharp that it could pierce into a person’s heart. The corners
of his eyes were full of blood veins that stained them red.

At that time, her throat felt stuck, and all those questions she wanted to ask vanished into thin air. She
could only embrace him into her arms silently. No matter the outcome, the interrogating process with
Madam Meyer was torturing Tim like a knife slicing off the old wound on his body until the bone was
seen. “I’m fine.” With a hoarse voice, Tim let go of his sister and said, “Let’s go up.” Sage nodded
lightly. Tim went to take a shower in the bathroom after entering his room. Sage went to the kitchen to
make a cup of hot chocolate to keep Tim warm. There was no more blood odor when Tim finished with
his shower. He put on a set of loungewear and returned back to his usual noble and elegant
gentleman’s image. “Here, drink this.” Tim smelled the sweet hot chocolate and could not help
frowning. “I don’t want this. I rather drink alcohol.”

Just when he wanted to go to the shelf to take his alcohol, Sage grabbed him.

“No! You can catch the flu easily, especially after being in the rain. Drinking hot chocolate is the best
remedy. No alcohol is allowed. This is Zamora’s method, and it works. If you have any objection, I
could give her a call, and you can ask her yourself,” Sage said. Tim had no choice but to give in after
thinking about how Zamora would nag him. He chugged the hot chocolate unwillingly.

Sage was very satisfied with him. “Good job.” A frown appeared on Tim’s face as he finished the hot
chocolate. Sage passed a glass of water, and he immediately accepted it. His stomach did feel much
warmer, and his body temperature increased a little



Sage examined Tim’s expression. She knew she would not count on him to disclose the information to
her volunteering, so she started the conversation, “How was it? Did you find out anything?”

Tim held the glass in his slender hand. His fingertips turned white, and he responded lightly. He omitted
the interrogating process because he did not wish to let her know. “She admitted that she was an
accomplice that assisted in murdering Cece.” His voice was bitter and smoky as he had trouble uttering
Cece’s name. His adam apple moved up and down.

Sage narrowed her eyes and asked, “Who was the mastermind?”

Tim lifted his head to show his deep blue eyes that resembled the same color as the ocean with cold
glaring. He slowly uttered that name with hatred, “Shawn.” Sage got shocked. ‘Him!’ The bad blood
between them and Shawn had been really complicated. No ordinary people could even imagine the
complexity involved in it. Shawn was a person more difficult to deal with than Jekyll

Sage knew that the death of her parents had something to do with Shawn, but she never expected that
Shawn was also involved with Cece’s death as well. A wave of fury crashed through her, and it was
unstoppable. “Shawn! What does he want?” It was not just Shawn. The Shelby family had many
enemies in Yathein, and Shawn wanted to control the family. Nevertheless, Senior Shelby and Tim
refused to let Shawn have his way. In the end, Shawn joined forces with others to destroy the Shelby
family and tried to murder Tim. At the most critical moment, Cece sacrificed herself and literally took a
bullet for Tim.
