Chapter 5

She was wearing a low-cut top, exposing a fresh tattoo on her chest covered in a clear plastic wrap.

It was the silhouette of a man—Koman—spanning across half her chest.

This was a woman who used to cry for hours over a tiny hot water burn. Yet now, she had endured hours of needles just to carve Koman’s face permanently onto her skin.

She didn't see anything wrong with tattooing another man's face on her body. She had even worn a low-cut shirt specifically to show it off to me.

She stormed in, screaming, "How dare you ignore my calls! Why haven't you deleted those posts yet?!"

"You might not care about your reputation, but I care about mine! Do you have any idea how much this is affecting my pharmacy?!"

"The customers today were all gossiping about it! Some of them only came in to nose around!"

I took two steps back. Howard walked out of the guest room. "You've lost your mind."

Just then, Vivian stormed in from across the hall. "I knew you'd be here! Delete those damn posts right now!"

"How could Anna and Maria go missing? They're probably playing a prank!"

"I lost half my clients today! Some of my biggest VIP appointments were canceled because of this! Do you know how much money I lost?!"

"Your petty tantrums have to stop! You guys are more dramatic than schoolgirls. It's disgusting!"

She, too, had a new tattoo. It covered her entire thigh.

Looking at these sisters, I only felt disgust. Their faces looked incredibly ugly and repulsive.

Noticing my gaze, Georgina defensively snapped:

"We got these tattoos because Koman got hurt, and we felt responsible for it!"

"We couldn't bear to let him suffer alone, so we did this to share his pain!"

I clenched my teeth and nodded.

"To share his pain? Then why didn't you just cut off a piece of your own flesh? Why did you have to tattoo his face on your bodies?"

"You two are the most pathetic, desperate women on earth, throwing yourselves at a boy."

My words completely exposed her.

Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly tried to deflect.

"You're always so petty. I don't want to fight with you. Just delete those posts."

"Otherwise, I'll call the cops on you for spreading rumors and defamation!"

But sometimes, life is full of coincidences. Just as she said that, there was a knock on the door, and a police officer walked in.

The officer knew Howard and me, and he knew we were on the verge of a breakdown trying to find our daughters.

He looked at us and said, "We have a major lead on your daughters' disappearance!"

Howard and I felt our eyes well up. We were close to tears.

An officer in uniform would never lie about something this serious.

Georgina froze for a moment before gasping, "What? Anna... Anna and Maria are really missing?!"
