NovelXXX"You've lost your mind."
Ethan's words cut through the air like a knife, and a chill ran down Stephen's spine. He thought of the doctors
and nurses and how Nolan looked at him yesterday.
"Impossible!"
Stephen shook his head in denial, hoping to shake the doubts away. He was not crazy. He knew no one believed
him, but if he started questioning himself too, then it would all be over.
"I'm fine. I'm sane. I'm awake! I'm not crazy. You're just messing with me!" Stephen shouted.
Ethan smiled. "You know better than anyone if Jeremy is dead or not. You're the one who killed him. You watched
him die."
Stephen felt a punch in his soul. Images of Jeremy's lifeless face, his cold, empty eyes, flooded Stephen's mind
once again. He panicked, his breathing hurried.
"He's not dead. You must've saved him!" Stephen said, his resolve beginning to crack.

Ethan said, "You know the answer to that question better than me. You're the one who chose his burial spot. Why
wouldn't you know where he is?"
Stephen looked down.
Was Jeremy really dead? Was he hallucinating back at the hospital?
He took a deep breath, dialed Nolan's number, and asked him to check the surveillance footage. Nolan then told
him they did not spot Jeremy in any surveillance footage.
"No! I don't believe it!" Stephen's body swayed, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Andy," Nolan said through the phone.
Stephen immediately dialed Andy's number.
"Have you seen Jeremy?" he asked as soon as the call went through.
Andy looked at Jeremy, who was just beside him. Jeremy listened to the conversation and shook his head,
signaling Andy to keep quiet.
"No. Didn't you kill him? Why are you askingthis?" Andy said indifferently.
"I'll give you another 10 million dollars! Tellthe truth! Have you seen Jeremy?" Stephen could not accept the
reality that was being laid out in front of him. "Did Ethan tell you to lie to me?"
Andy sighed. For a moment, he felt bad for Stephen for messing with Ethan, but he knew Stephen had that upon
himself.
"No. Even if you givemore money, you can't change the fact that Jeremy is dead. You killed him."
After that, Andy hung up the phone.
Stephen collapsed on the floor, his face pale and void of energy. Was he hallucinating? Had he lost his mind?
Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that he, the heir to the Quinns and the most successful young man in
the country, would be labeled a madman.
Just then, Austin ran into the mansion hurriedly.
"He's alive!" he shouted. "Jeremy is still alive! You didn't lose your mind! Jeremy Davis is still alive!"
