"This is too much, my lord. But we haven't found the girl's head yet. She was cut into pieces and then dismembered. The murderer must hate her to guts that he resorted to such cruel way to kill her!"

Gregory returned to my body, reaching out and lifting my right arm.

'Gregory, you can't take it off.' I wanted to stop him, only to find that my hand could go through my broken body.

I couldn't do anything to stop him. I watched him take off the jade bracelet. He looked calm, but I still hoped to see a hint of emotion in his eyes.

But no, there was nothing.

"My lord, this jade bracelet looks familiar." Coroner Linch had been working with Gregory for years. He met me twice before. Could it be that he recognized me?

"Not all the fine jade in the world is so pure. Go to the wealthy families in Santiago and ask if there are any girls who have been betrothed before the age of 20."

Gregory casually handed the bracelet that I treasured to his men to investigate.

The soldiers searched for several days but couldn't get any results in Santiago.

When Gregory's mother found him, she had tears in her eyes. My mother-in-law liked me a lot.

It had been days since she saw me, who could always cheer her up. So, my mother-in-law must miss me.

"Gregory, the bracelet you found was my gift to Rosa. She's been missing for days now!"

Gregory looked at the bracelet in my mother-in-law's hand with a cold expression. I looked at him infatuatedly, wondering if he was a little sad.

"How could she die? A woman so vicious like her must have given the bracelet to someone else to lure the thugs away for her!"

Maybe Gregory found some clues through that bracelet.

He asked for the names of all the maids who had taken care of me for the first time.

Zoey was a maid who grew up with me. We were like sisters. She accompanied me when we went out by invitation.

She and I were both kidnapped, and Zoey was raped and killed herself by hitting the wall.

As I expected, Gregory suspected that my body was Zoey's.

"I know she's a selfish person who doesn't care about ethics. I can't believe the Minister of Revenue have such a daughter!"

Gregory had always hated me. On our wedding night, he lifted my veil. As the red candles flickered, I was filled with joy, thinking that I had married the love of my life.

But to my surprise, Gregory looked distressed.

"Darling, is there anything bothering you?"
