The phone rang several times before being connected. “What’s up?” Since Brian had been interrogating Tres for the past few days, his sleep schedule had been messed up lately. “I’m sleeping, I didn’t hear the ringtone. If you have something to say, do it now. I’m sleepy!”
“Contact the psychiatric hospital where Anna is. North thinks that this Samantha Yapp, who’s working in my company, looks a lot like Anna. Can you check if she’s escaped?”
Upon hearing this, Brian, who was initially still somewhat blurry from fatigue, suddenly jolted awake. “Escaped? Impossible! I’ll check now.”
Less than ten minutes after Eugene hung up the phone, Brian called again. ‘As you expected, Anna was discharged from the hospital. Have you caught the secretary?”
After hearing the bad news, Eugene was at a loss. “She’s escaped. I’m still looking for her. Do you know who picked her up upon discharge?”
Brian answered, “Henry Maxwell and Amy Davis picked her up.” With anger, Eugene squinted his eyes. He was just thinking about how the couple had been too quiet lately. It turned out that their daughter had already been discharged.
“But I’m thinking someone must’ve assisted them in the shadows. Otherwise, the couple wouldn’t have been able to discharge Anna with their influence alone. When I dropped Anna off at the hospital, I told the director to never let anyone visit or discharge her. But the director retired, and I’m having a hard time finding him.”
After hearing that, Eugene snorted. “It must be related to Lara. After all, the real Samantha is still working in Kanes Corporation. Moreover, Lara is a shareholder of Kanes Corporation and knows the corporation very well. She must have given a fake identity to Anna, allowing Anna to easily infiltrate the Nolan Group!”
Panicked, Brian asked, ‘So what will you do. now?” To answer Brian, Eugene said, “Don’t worry. I just need some more time to investigate the cause of the fire. What’s the progress of your interrogation with Tres?”
Brian felt helpless. “He wouldn’t spill anything. about the mastermind behind the incident no matter what. I almost killed him during the interrogation.”
“Just lock him up for two days. Beware of The Quintets in case they try to rescue Tres.” “You too. Never leave the child unattended. If you are busy, I can take care of North for you.”
Upon hearing that, Eugene glanced at North sitting on his lap and said, “It’s alright.” In fact, now that he thought about it, he was. getting afraid. If it wasn’t for the child, it would have been dangerous for him to keep Anna by his side. How was it possible that he didn’t recognize her?
If something terrible happened to the child, how could he explain it to Olivia? Olivia had been taking care of North without any problem for seven years. Yet, Eugene managed to mess things up within just seven days with the child.
In the end, he hung up the phone and looked at North with distress. “You are right; Anna was discharged from the mental hospital.” At the revelation, North sucked in a breath of cold air. ‘Is it really her? What is she doing int the Nolan Group?”
Eugene turned glum, and his voice was cold. “She either wanted to hurt you or me.”
Knock, knock-
There was a knock on the door. But before Eugene could answer, someone pushed the door open, making a loud bang. At once, Eugene frowned in displeasure. How could anyone here be this rude?
After that, he looked up and saw Edward’s face. Although he was Eugene’s father, Eugene didn’t stand up or address him as his dad. After all, Eugene had only ever seen him as a president.
In fact, he hadn’t addressed Edward as his dad ever since Edward married Lara years ago. Whenever Eugene needed to converse with Edward, he would cut to the chase.
To outsiders, their relationship was not close, but they were polite to each other. Today, Edward came here with anger. Obviously, he knew what Nolan Group had done against Roberts Company.
