The carer understood Thomas' perspective, so she quietly walked off to pack his luggage. Meanwhile, Thomas was looking out of his window, his face creased and wrinkled in deep contemplation. His body had significantly improved after the treatment he had received. He knew that Nicole was the one who had provided such support to him. Besides, he also understood that she had no bad blood with Harvey and just wanted to help him.Thomas had, through the hard way, learned that Harvey had indeed morphed into a wicked person over the years. He had always felt guilty for Harvey's unfortunate upbringing, which had led him to enable Harvey. But then, he realized that his indulgence of him had resulted in Harvey becoming what he was.Harvey's life should have been peaceful, happy and comfortable, not filled with darkness and uncontrolled madness. If Harvey continued to latch onto his past, he would be forever stuck in his past with no hope of ever finding peace."Forget it," Thomas sighed, his

"Oh, you can just rest. Don't mind me," Ellar compromised.Then, he placed the glass of water down and took five steps back away from her.Having had it up to here with him, Patricia rolled her eyes and stared at Ellar with a look of helplessness. "Please get out.""Come on. I swear I'll stay quiet and not bother you," Ellar protested, and took another five steps back.Patricia glared at him, frustrated by his actions. To her, his mere presence was a disturbance in itself. Usually, there was nothing in the office that would constitute a challenge for her. However, she could barely focus on her work today, and it was all because of Ellar being an annoyance, much like a fly buzzing around her ear.After drawing a deep breath, Patricia suppressed her urge to lash out, and with a measure of calm, she said, "Get...out.""Wait, I promise not to come near you again," Ellar pleaded.As long as Patricia did not make him leave, Ellar was content to do nothing but see her work.Patricia,

'Ellar often looks like a sad, miserable kid. He looks like he's gullible and easy to trick, but he's actually really sly. He is getting Mr. Johnston to take Ms. Riddle home, so I don't have to. But just because I'm not the one taking Ms. Riddle home, doesn't mean I'll give him the chance to hang out with me alone.' Patricia took a deep breath and sat down calmly, acting like everything was normal as she waited for the dishes to be served.Ellar stole a quick glance at her. Seeing that she was not acting weirdly, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Patricia was too clever to not have seen through his plan, but there would be nothing for him to worry about as long as Patricia was not mad or anything.After everyone had been seated, the waiter proceeded to bring the food in, whereupon they began eating. The air in the room had gotten a little tense the moment Jared showed up, but everyone tried to keep their discomfort under wraps.After a bit, Jared took Nicole with him and left

"You're not going either, Patricia?" Lulu asked with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.She knew that if Patricia did not come along, Ellar would most likely not either. That would leave just four of them, making it somewhat less exciting for all of them.Patricia caught onto Lulu's hint, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded. "Okay, I'll come.""Really? Count me in too!" Ellar's face lit up, as he was previously certain that Patricia would just say no to Lulu's idea.But before he could get too excited, Patricia shot him a frosty glare. "No, you can't join us.""Why not?" he asked, his momentary sense of joy dissipating. 'Where's the fun in that?'Lulu, whose brows were furrowed in confusion, turned to Patricia. "Come on, Patricia. Let him come. It'll always be more fun with more people, don't you think?""Yeah, exactly!" Ellar pleaded with Patricia, hoping she would change her mind.However, Patricia stood firm, going as far as giving him an ultimatum. "If you go, Ell

Samuel looked at Spencer, his face as white as a sheet. "Are they talking about us?""Looks like it," Spencer replied as shivers ran down his spine.They were fortunate to have had Patricia on their side, or they would have been in big trouble.Lulu, looking equally worried, turned to Nicole. "Who are these people, Nicole?"Nicole's expression grew tense, and her eyes narrowed into a slit. She had hoped to keep them safe by not getting them involved, thinking that ignorance would protect them. But now, they were in just as much danger as she was."They're after Ms. Riddle." Patricia chimed in, deciding to fill others in on it after she had seen how troubled Nicole looked.June gasped, her voice filled with fear. "So, Nicole is their main target?"The thought that they were almost used as pawns to manipulate Nicole chilled her to the core. They owed their safety to Patricia and Charlie; otherwise, they could have been kidnapped and tortured as means to coerce Nicole into submitti
