“Nonsense! I am a pure, untainted man that practices self-respect!” Arthur wore a dignified expression.
“Then pray tell just how that thief got away with your item?”
“She pretended to be chased by someone and suddenly came into my car. She then locked her arms around my neck and stole it from me when I least expected it. I admit I let my guard down. Darn it.” As Arthur retold the incident, the anger in him came to rise again. Regardless, that thief was quite capable, as Arthur’s men still could not find any information on her until now.
“Just say the word when you need help.” Elliot offered his help, as the entire country was his territory.
To Arthur, it was already embarrassing enough for him to have his item stolen from under his nose. If he had to rely on others just to track down the thiet, that
would just demonstrate how incapable he was. Hence, he was determined to do this without anyone’s help to preserve his dignity. “No need. I want to personally
catch her myself, he declared with his hand curled into a fist.
Just then. Jared accidentally knocked over the glass beside him. However, Richard managed to catch the glass right before it fell to the ground. After placing the glass back on the table, he patted the child on the head. “Hope that didn’t scare you!”
“Wow! Mr. Lloyd is amazing Jared
clapped with admiration.
“Jared, have something good for you
later, Richard said.
“Something good? What is it?” Jared
asked, curious.
“It’s a watch with a GPS function. That way, we’ll be able to find you wherever you are in the future.”
“Thank you, Mr. Weiss.” Jared politely
gave his thanks
“You’re welcome. Your safety is our
responsibility, after all Arthur looked at
the kid before him. The more he saw the
child, the more he liked him. At this
point, Jared had completely changed
Arthur’s mind about the charms of a
child.
Elliot’s eyes were filled with fondness as well as he looked at the two. That expression of his was just like a father who was proud of his child.
Late at night in the Tillman Residence.
As Naomi was not sleepy, she waited for the break of dawn. She had made an appointment to visit Francis at ten in the morning, as it was the perfect time for her to make her move when Francis was taking his routine medication.
Finally, the sky brightened with the morning sun. Naomi, who had stayed up all night, started her preparations and placed two small bottles of the lethal drug
into the inner compartment of her bag. Then, she asked Joe to drive her to Presgrave Hospital.
Anastasia, who had also woken up early in the morning, was sitting in a luxurious lounge as she listened to the reports that were coming in from the people she had
deployed.
“Miss Tillman, we have obstructed the needle for President Tillman. We will be able to prevent the administration of Naomi’s drug the moment she makes her move.”
“Miss Tillman, the pinhole cameras are in place.”
“Miss Tillman, Naomi has entered the lobby.”
Standing in front of the French window, Anastasia was like a hunter waiting for her prey to fall into her trap. Thinking back on what Naomi had done to her father, Anastasia wanted her to be duly punished for her crimes.
Oblivious to Anastasia’s plan, Naomi interacted with the nurses as usual and had a few idle conversations with them regarding her husband’s condition last night before requesting to visit Francis.
“Mrs. Tillman, Mr. Tillman showed signs. of consciousness last night, as his fingers. had slight movement. We believe that he will recover very soon.” The nurse
deliberately told Naomi about the ‘improvement’ of Francis’ condition.
With a stiff smile, Naomi feigned joy. “That’s great news! This hospital really lives up to its name.”
“Of course! The doctor treating Mr. Tillman right now is our top neurologist!” Saying that, the nurse pushed the door open and invited Naomi into the ward before closing the door for her.
After that, the nurse immediately went to where Anastasia was and reported to Anastasia who was currently sitting on a sofa. “Miss Tillman, I’ve told Naomi everything just as you instructed.”
“Good. Thank you for your cooperation.” Anastasia nodded. After the nurse left, she opened the laptop in front of her and displayed the camera footage of the four cameras she placed inside the ward. From here, she could monitor every action of Naomi in Francis’ ward.
Through the cameras, Naomi’s expression was as clear as day with her eyes cold. Suddenly, Naomi muttered, “Don’t blame me for this. You forced me Into this.
