Malcolm placed the empty glass on a nearby table and replied, "It's delicious."It had been a while since he last tasted such good lemonade.The last time he enjoyed luxury was before he was kicked out of Merchant City and had to rely on Thomas' help.Thomas had taken him in as a subordinate, but he treated his employees poorly. Malcolm had to force himself to eat and drink the disgusting food provided every day, or he would have starved!Malcolm could not help feeling sorry for himself at the thought of this.Even though Thomas had promised to take him in, he did not treat him well at all and instead forced him to work as a slave.According to Thomas, laying low was the best option they had. Malcolm had to work and suffer as a subordinate in silence until, eventually, when everyone in Merchant City had forgotten about his true identity, he would be given a new identity as Lucifer Howard.However, Malcolm could not help thinking that Thomas was patronizing him.He was, in fact,

Malcolm's entire body was frozen in shock as though he had been struck by lightning when faced with Joshua's cold gaze.His mind was racing with thoughts of how to escape this room.A split second later, he smiled meekly at Joshua and said, "M—Mr. Lynch, how can I possibly dare to use your children like this?"They told me they weren't happy with you and Luna…so I risked my life to sneak here to check on them. After all, Nigel, Neil, and Nellie had lived with me for six years, so of course I'd care about them."How can I not come to check on them after they told me that they weren't happy with their situation?"He began taking small steps backward as he continued, "The reason I came here was to talk to them about cutting you and Luna some slack. They're children, after all, so they wouldn't understand the situation you and Luna are in, but I know that you and Luna care about them just as much as you care about Riley and the lost child."After all, there is no such thing as favori

Malcolm's words made Joshua perk up a little. "Are you sure the person who instructed you to do this is right among us?""I'm positive!" Malcolm nodded feverishly. "It's true! Otherwise, how would I have known…what time Jim would be leaving the hospital yesterday?"It's… It's because that woman was working with me from the inside, and that's how I was able to sneak into the hospital as soon as Jim left with his son."That woman…told me that she'd help me create the perfect opportunity for me to carry out my task. Think about it: how would I have known when you'd leave if someone hadn't been helping me?"Jim furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing this. He glanced dubiously at Malcolm, then at Joshua. "Does this mean that there's someone working with him?"Joshua curled his lips into a smile. "Of course there is."He turned to glance impassively at Malcolm. "However, this information you've given isn't sufficient for me to release you."He shifted into a more comfortable position in h

Jim froze, unable to believe his ears.He instinctively inched closer to Joshua and whispered, "Are you saying that…Malcolm kept some of the poison with which he was instructed to kill Bonnie and even stashed it somewhere?"Joshua nodded, staring out in the direction in front of him.He persistently prodded and provoked Malcolm so he would finally relent and hand over the poison.Joshua had mentioned that he did not need Malcolm to expose the identity of the mastermind. That was because both he and Jim were capable of finding out who this person was eventually.Not only that, but he even had a suspicion as to who it was already.Nonetheless, it was not enough to find this person.As Malcolm said, this person had minimal contact with him, and even if they managed to find who it was, it would be hard to pin it on her because she had plenty of reasons and evidence that would help her evade responsibility.Because of this, Joshua had to find even more evidence to prove her crime.

Jim fell silent upon hearing this.He knew that Joshua was right. To find the person who tried to kill Bonnie, they had to do more than find the poison used.They would have to obey Joshua's plan and make it evident that they had sought out Malcolm, then release him as though nothing had happened.That way, the mastermind behind all this would become flustered and eventually find a way to get rid of Malcolm to prevent herself from being exposed.With this, they could use Malcolm as bait to lure the person into the light.At the thought of this, Jim scoffed and glared at Malcolm. "You got lucky this time!"Then, he turned and stomped away.After Jim left, Joshua glanced impassively at Malcolm, then ordered Lucas, "Get the news out there about Malcolm's interrogation and make it clear that we released him, even though he didn't offer us any useful information."Lucas nodded obediently. "Yes, Sir."Joshua turned to smile at Malcolm. "Good luck."With that, he left.Staring at J
