Cedric and the others rushed upstairs. When they reached the kids' study, Nathaniel was reading, and Natalie was taking care of her lizard. "Uncle Cedric?" Curious, Nathaniel greeted him. "Why did you come here, Uncle Cedric?" Natalie got up and walked to him. Crouching down, Cedric caressed Natalie's face as he heaved a sigh of relief. "Nothing. We've had an increase in flu cases lately. For safety reasons, we have to do a checkup on you two. Come here, Nathaniel. Let the doctor do the checkup." Cedric made up a suitable excuse. He then walked to the side. The doctor and nurse crouched in front of the kids and started to examine them. Seeing the anxious look on Cedric's face, Nathaniel knew that they were definitely not checking them for mere flu. But he didn't ask anything about it as he quietly let them examine his body. Cedric noticed Paul standing outside. He then left the room. Paul whispered, "Aunty Reina is okay. I've also checked downstairs. There's no sign
In Flokstra, Lucian, Gabriel, and the rest of the men rushed over to a clinic. Yvan was sitting in the waiting area. His neck and forehead were bandaged. Resting his arms on his thighs, he hung his head low. He was in a gloomy mood. Lucian and Gabriel sighed in relief when they saw Yvan seemed to be okay. Lucian said, "Let's go." Yvan got up and walked out in silence. They all got into the car and left. Yvan leaned back in the backseat as he lifted his head. "Did you manage to catch up to them?" Gabriel said, "They clearly noticed you back then. That's why they asked someone to hide there. Besides, there was no surveillance camera around the spot they escaped to. So it's difficult to find them." Lucian said with a serious tone, "This is the second time we were discovered. It could be even harder to see them again after this." Yvan's face grew hard. He didn't know what to say for a moment. At the same time, Carl was informed right away when Yvan got into that accident.
"It could've only happened around the spots where Mommy had meals with her coworkers. That's the only chance where she'd be in contact with strangers. "She wouldn't be able to notice anything when she got poisoned in secret. Since she was poisoned a while ago, we wouldn't be able to find any traces of it at all," Nathaniel explained. Mina then said with a serious look, "Does that mean we won't be able to investigate further into it?" Nathaniel said, "It's okay. I'll look into this myself." After hanging up, Nathaniel quickly searched up all the restaurants Yuna had visited for her recent gatherings. He then hacked into their surveillance systems and checked the recordings one by one. What he said was just a guess. He couldn't be sure that he would be able to find any useful clues from these surveillance camera recordings. After all, too much time had passed. The culprit had a lot of time to deal with this matter afterward. They might even have erased the recordings already.
Yuna said, "Since we couldn't find anything after investigating it back then, I thought it was just a prank. Besides, nothing happened to me when I came back to Waleston, so I didn't think much about it. But now I got poisoned." As if she suddenly thought of something, Yuna grabbed Carl's hand. "Carl, Natalie and Nathaniel—" "I know. I won't let anything happen to them." She nodded. Carl didn't think something like that would happen to Yuna in Jefton State. He asked, "Could it be the man behind Jerry?" "Probably." "Okay. I'll look into that." Yuna said, "But you have to investigate the matter about Master Eastin. How could I let this distract you?" Carl chuckled and said, "Did you think I only have a couple of men working for me?" Yuna knew her question was unnecessary. Carl asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" "I want to sleep." "Alright, get some sleep. I'll stay here. Call me if you feel sick." Yuna's eyelids felt heavy. After nodding, she f
Yuna took the phone and looked at the pictures. After examining them carefully, she shook her head. "Who's that?" "He worked as a waiter in all the restaurants you had been to for your recent gatherings." "Really?" Yuna stared at the picture on the phone again. "If that's the case, it's not a coincidence at all." "Perhaps that's the man who poisoned you with arsenic." "But why would he give us a chance to capture his face?" "Maybe he's trying to provoke us or that he thought we wouldn't be able to find him. So he doesn't care," Carl explained. Yuna had a grave look. "Also, this man isn't a Flokstrian." "According to our findings, he only has a one-month visa here. He's from Hultic." Yuna was astonished when she heard that. "He's from Hultic?" "Why?" "When I was investigating my dad, I found out that the person who acted as his guarantor of that one-billion-loan is actually from Hultic. And I've found the identity of that man." As she spoke, Yuna turned on her phon
Yuna had been waiting for Cedric to bring her updates. When the sky turned dark, Cedric returned when she was having dinner. Yuna watched as he entered. "Found him?" Carl asked. Cedric nodded. "Yeah, but he's dead." The news made Yuna and Carl's faces darkened. They didn't think it would end up this way. He said, "He headed to a few places today. It was as if he was leading us nowhere on purpose. When we finally found him, he was already dead in a hotel room's bathtub. There was a slit across his throat." Yuna could imagine the scene. Covering her mouth, she felt like throwing up. Carl got up and handed her a glass of water. "Don't think about it." She sipped some water. Her face looked ashen. Standing on the other side, Cedric pushed the bed table to the end of the bed. "Are you alright?" She nodded. "I'm fine, don't worry about me. You guys should handle the matter. We should at least find out if it was a suicide or murder." After that, she said with a serious t
Yuna knew that there was nothing they could do now. As she listened to Carl, she could only stay quiet. Noticing her disappointment, Carl patted her head and comforted her. "Don't worry. Not only are they cunning, but they came here fully prepared. It's normal that we don't have any counter-strategies. Now that you gave me a clue, we'll be able to find something if we start investigating from here." Yuna nodded. She then showed him a photo of another person. "You should look into this woman as well. I think she has something to do with Jacob." Looking at the picture on the phone, Carl became deep in thought. After a moment, he said with a frown, "Jade Hoffman. I've seen this woman before." Yuna's eyes instantly lit up. She asked anxiously, "Where did you see her?" "It was at a summit from a while ago," Carl said. "Who was she with?" "No one. She was alone with an assistant." Sitting at the side, Carl said, "She was representing a company called GE Group. That's when s
It was the middle of the night, and Yuna was resting soundly. She didn't notice someone calling her because her phone was silent. However, the blinking light on the screen attracted Carl's attention when he was still working in the room. Staring at the flickering phone, he showed no intention of heading over and checking it. He only looked away after the screen turned dark again. Indeed, he was curious about who would call Surra at such an hour. At the same time, Yvan just got off the plane. He tried to call Yuna, but she didn't answer. He was guessing that Yuna was probably resting. After he got into the car, Yvan was about to tell the driver to head to the hospital. But he was stopped by Lucian. "That's Carl's private hospital. It'd be filled with all of his staff. Besides, he'd definitely tighten the security there since something happened to Yuna this time. Wouldn't you be exposing yourself if you go now?" "Do I even need his permission to see Yuna?" "Yvan, we're
