"Wendy...""Jen, I understand everything you want to say," Wendy continued getting ready. "For him, as long as it wasn't Sarah's three kids who hired someone to kidnap me, he won't care too much."Henry was concerned about the potential family conflicts that could lead to a chain reaction affecting the company.Understanding the meaning behind Wendy's words, I stopped trying to comfort her.When I emerged from the bathroom dressed, Wendy was also ready."You're leaving the hospital too?" I asked."Without you here, I'd be bored to death alone," she replied."But what about your injury?" I inquired."Our injuries are about the same. If you can leave, why can't I?" Wendy quickly packed her things. "I've called a car. It'll be here in five minutes. Hurry up, I'll drop you off at the office.""Okay."Unaware of the situation at the office, I didn't want to bother Brian or Zac. I went downstairs with Wendy, carrying my belongings.With time running short, I left a note for Marian

Brian answered the call, and Luke had instructed that the police could be brought up directly."I'm Jen Middleton, Mr. Walker's assistant and a victim of the kidnapping. I'll escort you up," I offered.In the elevator, I wanted to ask about the progress of the investigation but feared causing trouble for Luke.Brian was waiting at the elevator. When he saw me, a flicker of something passed through his eyes before he composed himself."Mr. Walker is in a meeting. Jen, please show the officers to the reception room.""Of course."After serving tea to the officers, Luke entered. His face was calm as he glanced at my wrist."Is your wound feeling any better today?""Thank you for asking, Mr. Walker. It's much improved."The pain was manageable, although any movement still hurt."Hello, we're from Johnsonville City Police Station," one officer said, showing his badge. "We need your cooperation with our investigation.""Certainly," Luke sat down, gesturing for them to do the same.

"A supplementary agreement?""Yes. Regarding the evidence Joey mentioned, I've never seen it," Luke said, placing the file back in front of the questioning officer. "You can have a professional lawyer analyze the contract terms in detail.""Did the suspect, Joey, ever mention this evidence to you?""She did.""And what about the evidence?""You'll have to ask Joey about that."Realizing they wouldn't get any more information from Luke, the officer said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Walker. We'll contact you if we need anything else.""Very well."Luke remained seated, taking a sip of his coffee.After escorting the officers out, I returned to find Luke leaving the meeting room."Mr. Walker, what's the story with this contract?"Last night, Luke had told me he made a deal with Joey. When the police produced the contract, my heart nearly stopped."Joey paid the kidnappers in cash. The day she snuck out of the hospital, she had everything planned. She went home first t

Luke, noticing my confusion, explained, "Before I handed the evidence to the police, Stephen came to me. He said he'd secured crucial evidence before Joey could destroy it. When Joey couldn't find the burner phone she'd used, she panicked. While searching, she learned I'd been to her hospital room and assumed I'd taken it.""At first, when Stephen told me this, I thought it was a coincidence. Now I realize that when she called to invite me to her room, she had already set the stage, placing the evidence right under my nose for me to find.""I had an important call come in, so I answered while entering her room. Seeing she wasn't there, I left. By chance, the evidence fell into Stephen's hands. Knowing the kidnapping case would eventually lead to Joey, and not wanting her to get in trouble, Stephen came to me about the evidence.""Stephen is so devoted to Joey!" I exclaimed, thinking Stephen must owe Joey a huge debt to be so loyal.This incident had lowered my opinion of Stephen.

Caught under my intense gaze, a faint blush spread across his face. He cleared his throat softly, his hand covering his mouth. "If you keep looking at me like that, I might not be able to handle it."Snapping back to reality, I suddenly remembered what I had just done. My face instantly felt hot, and I squirmed uncomfortably, not noticing Luke's reaction or words.I quickly stood up, searching for an excuse to leave."When I suggested this approach, Stephen remained silent. Now it seems he followed my lead. Joey always trusted him, thinking he'd help her unconditionally if she brought up their past. This time, Stephen finally showed some sense."Luke's words stopped me in my tracks."So that's the whole truth. Mr. Walker didn't make any deals with Joey. Once everything's cleared up, there should be no impact on the company."Hanque had just launched a popular new model, and their reputation was on the rise. We couldn't let all of that go to waste."Some things are hard to prove.

I'm finding it hard to keep my emotions in check. It's only a matter of time before I spill what's on my mind.After a prolonged silence from me, Wendy called out, "Honey?""Luke didn't make a deal with Joey," I said.I headed to the pantry and poured myself a glass of water."If Luke didn't make any deal with Joey, then what she's doing is pure slander. By now, Luke must have gathered enough evidence and is prepared to confront this head-on," Wendy theorized, basing her prediction on the assumption that Luke had made a deal with Joey. "Cases that are straightforward with clear facts and of public interest tend to be resolved much quicker. But more than the case itself, I'm curious about what Luke told you yesterday afternoon."I gave Wendy a brief overview of the situation."Classic Luke," Wendy said, impressed. "He's a master at playing along and turning the tables! He's much smarter than that so-called undefeatable lawyer who's just being led around by a woman.""Stephen know

Luke said, "Mr. York hasn't slept all night. He needs a cup of coffee.""Got it."I went to the pantry, made coffee for the two of them, and brought it back to the office.Inside, Luke was reading through documents while Stephen sat silently on the sofa.They clearly had something to discuss. I was about to leave when Luke stopped me, gesturing toward the sofa, indicating for me to sit down. "You're directly involved in this situation. There's no need to hide anything from you."As Luke's employee, I followed his instructions and sat down on the sofa.Luke and Stephen were friends, but Joey was someone Stephen felt indebted to. He was clearly stuck in a difficult position between the two of them.Stephen hesitated before finally speaking up, "Mr. Walker, I know Joey has gone too far with this, but she's still recovering from her car accident and needs rest.""How is her need for rest my problem?" Luke asked, not even looking up from his papers as he signed his name with ease. "

Luke's words left Stephen frozen in place, like a statue."You should have a genuine conversation with your client," Luke advised. "If I'm right, you won't need to work so hard. You can go home and rest earlier.""If she admits to having a mental illness, she'll be sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment. Once she's released, it'll be nearly impossible for her to find work or reintegrate into society. She would never take such a reckless step.""She didn't need a job before, and now Jon's importance is undeniable. She's his sister. Even if she loses guardianship, she won't end up destitute and homeless." Luke closed the file in his hands. "She may have already found a new guardian for Jon without informing you.""They don't have any family.""They may not have close relatives, but there could be distant ones." Luke handed Stephen a fax from the desk. "While she was in the hospital, Joey hired a detective agency and found a distant cousin. She met with this cousin before turni
