Tobias looked at the screen. The surveillance footage showed Joey bringing Maya to the hospital for a check-up. He could string together the entire process through the numerous security cameras.Moments later, Tobias saw a loophole in the footage. He asked, "There. Why did we lose her all of a sudden?""Let's switch to another security camera and see if we've missed out on anything, Mr. Ripley.""Do it, now!"Moments later, the technician said, "This lady finished her check-up around 10:30 pm, Mr. Ripley. She headed toward the restroom after that."Then, she came to a hallway intersection and used the staircase. It was an angle that the security cameras couldn't capture. "She stayed there for at least 20 minutes before she came out."That was ample time for Maya to bribe a doctor.Tobias asked, "Can you check who else went to the staircase in the same window?""Please hold on. We'll check again."The technicians stared at the screen until their eyes became bloodshot. Tobias

Heath stopped mid-sentence. He wanted to say it out loud, but he hesitated.Something seemed to be bothering him. He stuttered, "I-I think I saw something, Mr. Ripley. However, I can't seem to recall what it is."When Tobias heard what he said, his lips curled into a cold grin. He shot up from his seat and approached Heath. He exuded a cold and imposing air. Every step he took was akin to a thundering blow landing on Heath, who was extremely stressed.Heath was already sweating profusely just from withstanding the pressure of Tobias' overbearing presence. Tobias held Heath by the shoulders and whispered in the latter's ear, "Do you want to know what happened to the last man who lied to me?"He breathed against Heath's cheeks, looking not too different from a venomous python hissing threateningly at its prey.Heath was so terrified that his feet trembled. His forehead was covered in sweat. He gulped in fear and stuttered, "I-I'm sorry, Mr. Ripley. I didn't mean to lie to you,

"Maya is the adopted daughter of Quinton Hudson, the CEO of Hudson Group. According to my investigation, she was adopted when she was eight years old. "Quinton and his wife, Madeleine Dawson, have been married for a long time, but they couldn't have a baby for a long time. They listened to their elders' advice and adopted a daughter to bring good fortune to the household. "What's surprising is that Madeleine got pregnant with a son three years after they adopted Maya. "My findings confirm that Maya was cherished and loved by both her parents in the first three years. However, things went downhill after her younger brother, Luther Hudson, was born. "Her status was no longer the same after that. The neighbors frequently heard and saw Quinton abusing her both verbally and physically. He also humiliated her all the time."The silver lining is that Madeleine protected her all the time. However, she ended up being beaten by Quinton as well. "I'm not sure what happened, but Quinton

Tobias sat back on the director's chair and said with a solemn face, "Let him in."Moments later, Case led Kenny into his office. Fear flashed in the latter's eyes the moment he saw Tobias, but he quickly suppressed it.Tobias said, "Have a seat, Dr. Young. I have some questions for you.""You're renowned and powerful, Mr. Ripley. What business could you have with a commoner like me?""There's no need to be nervous." Tobias raised his eyebrow and said, "I'm going to ask you something. All you have to do is tell me the truth. I won't put you in a difficult position."Kenny's eyes darkened. "Do tell.""Do you know this lady?" Tobias pulled out a picture of Maya and put it on the table. Kenny shook his head frantically. "I don't.""You're lying."Tobias put pressure on him on purpose. "She came to the hospital for a check-up the morning before yesterday. She bribed you with a huge sum of money and asked you to tamper with her medical report."Maya has admitted to it. There's no

Tobias had managed to secure some valuable information. As for Lucy's end, Emily had also found out more information.Lucy had woken up from her nap. She was about to draw some designs with Sasha when Emily came over to report her findings. "I dug up more information, Ms. Lucy. Do you want to hear it?""Sure. Go ahead." In short, Emily's report covered more about how machismo Quinton was, while Luther seemed to have been enjoying all the perks of being privileged since birth. He would often ask Maya to figure out a way to scrape together some money for him. If she failed at that, he would beat her up brutally.Lucy's heart sank after she heard what Emily said. She asked, "Did you manage to find out if Maya is willingly working together with Joey, or is she being coerced into it?""Um… I haven't found out anything about that." Emily paused for a while before she continued, "With that said, I managed to get her phone number."I think we can talk it out with her. We could giv

If memory served him right, the last time someone had begged to become Lucy's mentee was when they had been in Faldoria. The lady was a famous designer in her country. Tobias had been amazed back then. After that, a lot of things had happened, and he hadn't had the chance to ask Lucy about it. So, the matter had been left unresolved.Now, he heard "Alicia" begging for Lucy to take her in as a mentee. Aside from being shocked, he was also amazed.According to his investigation, Lucy was an ordinary woman. How did she have what it took to take these extraordinary people in as her mentees?Was it possible that his investigation hadn't been thorough enough?Tobias was still stuck in his thoughts when he heard Lucy's voice. She rejected Sasha coldly. "That's a no. I don't intend to take in mentee now."Sasha was disappointed. She sighed and begged Lucy, "You have been guiding me for so many days, Lucy. Every design I submitted to Ripley Group was drawn under your guidance. "I mig

Tobias frowned when he heard what Lucy said. A hint of bewilderment flashed in his eyes."Did the DNA test result come back negative? That's not possible!"`Tobias had confidence in his employees' capabilities. There was no way they could have made such a mistake.He was in disbelief. He forgot that this information would disappoint and upset Lucy a lot. He said to her, "There has to be something wrong with this DNA test."Lucy looked at Brett and Rhett. She bit her lips and lowered her head in silence. In a matter of a second, things got awkward.Rhett said, "The test result might tell us that we aren't related by blood, but we have spent some time with Lucy recently. I can tell you that I love her from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Ripley."The moment Rhett said it, Tobias' eyes darkened. He gave the former an alarming look. "Did you just say that you love Lucy?"Rhett sensed the hostility in his tone and waved hastily. He explained, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Ripley. I love Luc

Maya didn't understand why Joey cared about that. However, she didn't dare to ignore the latter's question. "I overheard them talking just now. I think they're going to do the DNA test again."Joey heard what she said and was wracked with nerves. "They're thinking of doing it again?"Maya responded, "Yeah."She didn't understand why Joey sounded so panicked. "Is there anything else you need, Joey?""Did you hear about some other information, Maya?"Maya pondered on it and said, "Brett and Rhett said that their long-lost younger sister has an emerald pendant. That's all I know, Joey."Joey heard what Maya said and mulled it over for a brief moment. She had never seen Lucy wear an emerald pendant. Lucy could've hidden it away or lost it.Joey said, "Thanks, Maya. Come over to Ripley Residence tonight. I made you some soup.""I appreciate that, Joey. I'll be there soon."Once both of them ended the call, Joey pondered on the situation and had a headache. Her efforts would go to w
