The woman crying the hardest was still talking to the police. "I have no idea what happened. | just cto her
room in the evening to discuss where we should go next on our tour. Halfway through our conversation, someone
cto deliver dinner. Yvonne has social anxiety, so she waited until the server left before bringing the food in.
She even invitedto eat with her, but | figured I'd have the smeal waiting in my room. We're just regular
working people who finally got to enjoy something nice-none of us had ever had steak like this before. Before |
could even get back to my room, she just collapsed onto the table. Officer, you have to find out what really
happened!
"Yvonne has had such a hard life. She has no father, and her mother is sick in the hospital. Even the medical bills
are a problem. How could this happen? She was perfectly fine one minute, and then this!"
The police officer took careful notes and asked, "Can you describe everything you saw at the time?"
"Yes, | was..."
Sarah listened with a sense of mockery. They couldn't even make up a convincing story. If medical bills were

From the first day these women arrived, Sarah had felt something was off.
It seemed this incident was a deliberate plot against Pine Mist Island.
She turned to look at the woman in the room. Who was behind this?
It wasn't hard to guess. With Harbour Crescent Island and Pine Mist Island opening simultaneously, and given
how the earlier design theft had damaged the Wilson Group's reputation while Pine Mist Island's reputation
soared, someone would be desperate to reverse this situation.
The only way to do that would be to make Pine Mist Island's reputation plummet.
She just hadn't expected such a ruthless approach—one that cost a human life. Sarah smiled bitterly to herself.
Of course-wasn't this exactly how Vivian always operated?
She never cared about the value of a life when trying to achieve her goals.
The entire hotel was filled with onlookers. If the police hadn't already set up barriers, the hallway would have
been packed with people.
Even so, word was spreading quickly.
Someone had died at Pine Mist Island Resort Hotel-killed by eating steak. She could already imagine the
headlines.
A police officer approached. "Who's in charge of the hotel?"
Sarah quickly stepped forward. "I am."
"Notify the kitchen immediately. Everyone needs to leave the kitchen area. Find out which rooms received steak
dinners today. Stop anyone from eating them and collect all remaining steaks as evidence. Our officers will
accompany your staff."
Sarah nodded and immediately had the manager make the arrangements. She frowned slightly and asked, "May
| know what's happening?"
"You don't know what's happening?" The officer glanced at her. "A guest ate steak delivered by your hotel and
died on the spot."
Sarah clenched her fist. "I just found out."
Her only thought now was to notify Melvin as quickly as possible. The mastermind behind this surely had more
than one plan in motion.
"Inform everyone at the hotel that no one is allowed to leave."
Just then, the group of women rushed toward Sarah. "It's all your hotel's fault! You killed Yvonne! Officer, arrest
her!"
"Yvonne is dead because of you! Your hotel killed her!"
The police quickly moved to protect Sarah. "Ladies, please calm down. The police will investigate this matter
thoroughly. You can't take rash actions before we have results."
The woman who had cout of Yvonne's room stood behind the police. She touched her mouth briefly, her
eyes blinking in an irregular pattern.
