Half an hour later, Yvonne arrived at Hopeful Faith's studio.Conan had long been waiting for her by the entrance. When he saw Yvonne, it was as if he had seen his life savior. He quickly went up to her."Yvonne. I don't know where Chuck got the news from. He heard that Hopeful Faith was having a meeting today. He arrived at the meeting even before me."Yvonne hummed and headed directly to the meeting room. Conan followed behind her. Seeing her there, he felt much more relieved.At the meeting room, Yvonne pushed the door open to see Chuck sitting by the meeting table. Her gaze darkened. "Mr. Jensen, why did you come to Hopeful Faith without letting us know?"Chuck smiled and looked at Conan. He said in an ambiguous tone, "Turns out, Ms. Miller is here too. No wonder Conan had to stop the meeting at the last minute."Although Chuck spoke with a smile, Conan could still hear the mockery in his tone. Conan furrowed his brows. Was Chuck secretly trying to drive a wedge between him a

Chuck left Hopeful Faith and returned to his mansion. He headed directly to the basement.Gwen was leaning against the corner of the cage, resting, when suddenly footsteps woke her up.Chuck kicked the food placed in front of the cage. "You're not eating or drinking! I'll see how long you can last!"Gwen opened her eyes and looked at him with icy contempt.Chuck got infuriated. He punched the cage so hard that it shook."Do you think Yvonne will come and rescue you soon?" Chuck sneered. "You can dream on! I've already gotten someone to use your ID to leave Northerna City. Even if Yvonne looks into it, she will only look toward the southwest. "She will never suspect that you're in my basement!"For the past few days, Chuck had been adding things to Gwen's meals so that he could deal with her easier. However, she hadn't been eating. To err on the safe side, he had to keep her locked up.Seeing the scattered food on the floor, he smiled. If she wasn't going to eat, fine. He d

"Finlay's girlfriend doesn't really know what happened, so she didn't come at me. That's why, Noah doesn't have any proof, even though he suspects me," Katie said. She could still remember how Noah had looked at her.Even now, her chin still hurt from Noah clutching it too hard.In order to prove her innocence, she had fired Finlay on the spot in front of Noah.After Noah left, she had secretly met Finlay and found out that Yvonne had looked for him.At that thought, Katie looked at Yvonne coldly. "What is the voice recording for? To threaten me?"Yvonne said distractedly, "It's just that you've been progressing too slowly. I'm a little impatient. If you want the horse to run, don't you have to whip it?""How dare you—" Katie was furious. "Do you think getting proof is that easy? Noah still hates me for ruining him. It won't be that quick to build trust. Just because there is no progress doesn't mean I'm not trying hard. "Didn't I send you a recording last time? At least it

Katie was perplexed. She looked at Noah, lost. "W—why?" She glanced at the knife."Don't be afraid. Noah raised his other hand, showing that he was cutting an apple. "I was just cutting an apple for you."Then, he continued cutting the apple while saying, "Continue meeting with Yvonne. Take this chance to get closer to her. I want to see what she is up to."Katie soon understood. He was trying to make her a double agent.Seeing the knife in his hands, she could imagine that if she shook her head, the knife would probably land on her neck instead of the apple.Thus, she pondered for a while before nodding. "Alright.""Good girl." Noah had finished cutting the apple. He placed the knife down and handed a slice of apple to Katie. "If you're always such a good girl, I won't make things difficult for you."Katie quickly accepted the apple with a lowered gaze. She didn't dare look Noah in the eyes.He reached his hand out toward her head. She was so frightened that she scrunche

That night, Yvonne called Jim to ask about Philip's situation.Jim read a few of his vitals to Yvonne and said pensively, "He should be coming around, but no one knows why he isn’t. Perhaps subconsciously, he doesn't want to …"Jim was standing by the window of Philip's room. He could see him lying in bed.Jim furrowed his brows in slight distress. "Could it be that he knows who did this to him, so he doesn't want to wake up and face reality?"Yvonne thought for a while. "It's possible. Some comatose patients will develop a tiny hint of consciousness after they have been treated. Perhaps this consciousness is preventing Mr. Anderson Senior from waking up."If Jim was right, Philip's coming around would be a huge threat to Noah! This piece of news gave her a more solid idea for her plan.Her thoughts were running wild when she heard Jim say, "I heard from Conan that he plans to work with a team from Well Spring to further develop Hopeful Faith. What do you think about that?"Yv
