Allonzo Hobson opened his mouth but said nothing. Everywhere was heavily guarded, but Edward Kirsten didn’t seem to care, going wherever he wanted.

That was precisely what made him so terrifying.

“If he were that easy to catch, he would have been caught already.” Arthur North spoke slowly.

Charlotte Lane didn’t interject, just listened to their conversation while leaning on the sofa.

“Jeez, I’ve never seen anyone who could hide so well.” said Allonzo Hobson.

“Well, you’re seeing him now.” Thomas Firway replied.

Allonzo Hobson: “……”

“Maybe we can have a good New Year this time.” Arthur North suddenly suggested.

Charlotte Lane tilted her head to look at him.

Thomas Firway faltered for a moment.

Allonzo Hobson looked at him for two seconds, then laughed: “It still takes Third Master, eh? Even the most terrifying people can be captured by our Third Master. He can hide, and you can chase.”

“Can you please say something more pleasing to the ear?” Arthur North said in a deep voice.

Charlotte Lane laughed softly.

Arthur North turned his head towards her: “Tired?”

“No.”

“Oh right, the Santiago Family reported a case to the police this morning.” Allonzo Hobson said.

“Hmm, I’ve heard.” replied Arthur North.

“They said when Assistant Peter Qinke was sorting out Dean Yue’s things, he discovered that there was a problem with the medicine he usually took.” Allonzo Hobson’s voice turned cold, “Damn it, who exactly wanted to harm the dean?”

“The people around him, close people, the Santiago family members, maids, drivers, including me and Peter Qinke himself, all are suspects.” Arthur North said calmly, “For those with ulterior motives, it’s not difficult to tamper with the medicine. Maybe…the Dean’s illness was a conspiracy from the beginning.”

Overseeing a research institute, tampering with medicine, or causing harm to someone’s body- it’s all too convenient.

Charlotte Lane squinted lightly, and a short-lived ruthlessness quickly flashed in her eyes.

Allonzo Hobson frowned: “Since they’re determined to do it, they must be extremely cautious. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to investigate.”

Arthur North nodded in agreement.

The few of them fell silent in the living room for a while.

Arthur North stood up while holding Charlotte Lane’s hand: “You two can leave now, we’re going to rest.”

Allonzo Hobson: “……” Yeah, the wife returns and you’re kicking us out.

…

After returning to the room, Charlotte Lane went straight to the restroom.

As the door was about to close, Arthur North held it open from outside.

Charlotte Lane paused and looked at him.

Seeing her suspicious gaze, Arthur North’s smile grew deeper: “What does that look mean?”

Charlotte Lane’s eyes narrowed slightly, “What do you want to do?”

“Shower together.” Arthur North said, pushing the door further.

The bathroom door opened slightly, but was quickly held in place again.

“We won’t do anything.” Arthur North said with a smile.

Charlotte Lane didn’t let go, her voice a bit cold, “Do you believe that yourself?”

Third Master Clark laughed and remained silent.

Charlotte Lane, her hand pressing on the door, rubbed her fingertips and suddenly looked a bit despondent. She called out to him in a serious yet low voice: “Arthur North…”p>

The smile on Arthur North’s face vanished in an instant, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Her hand on the door was lowered, ready to reach out and pull Charlotte Lane.

But at the very moment he let go, Charlotte Lane pushed the door shut and locked it. Her movements were so quick that Arthur North was pushed back a step by the door, leaving him dumbfounded as he only caught a glimpse of her triumphant smile through the narrow gap.

Arthur North stood outside the bathroom door, looking at it: “……”

His expression changed from helpless to increasingly ruthless. He had just wanted to tease her and make her happy, but now…he suddenly wanted to make it a reality.

After a while, he knocked on the door and deliberately deepened his voice: “Little girl, isn’t this going too far?”

Charlotte Lane’s voice was filled with amusement: “It is quite excessive.”

Arthur North: “…”

Charlotte Lane added: “I think it’s too much.”

“Open it, let’s have a good talk.” Arthur North emphasized the words “good talk” heavily.

“No.” Charlotte Lane flatly refused.

Kevin Clark: “…Little girl, you can’t stay in there forever.”

Charlotte Lane was silent for a moment.

“I suggest you think carefully.”

Charlotte Lane still didn’t say anything.

But she heard Kevin Clark walk away for a bit, and then he quickly came back.

Then… she heard the sound of keys being inserted into the lock, the door handle moved, and the door opened…

Opened…

…

Kevin Clark leaned at the doorway, his narrow eyes full of danger, his thin dark red lips curved into a smile, and a key in his hand: “Little girl… it seems you don’t have a chance to think things over.”

Charlotte Lane stood in place, trying her best to think of something that could convince Kevin Clark, and make him show mercy.

But Kevin Clark didn’t give her that chance. He threw the key on the washbasin and directly carried her into the bathroom.

For a moment, Charlotte Lane was mourning for herself while also attempting to struggle.

“Kevin Clark, calm down.”

Kevin Clark let out a soft laugh.

“Kevin Clark, please calm down. Really, I…” suddenly her lips were gently kissed, and Charlotte Lane couldn’t finish her sentence.

“You…”

She was kissed again, and Charlotte Lane swallowed her words.

Kevin Clark placed her by the bathtub, filled the water with one hand, and hugged her with the other, as if afraid she would run away.

Charlotte Lane watched the water level in the bathtub rise.

She decided to struggle again, mustering her acting skills: “Kevin Clark, I’m a bit tired today. I… ”

Kevin Clark didn’t believe her anymore. Seeing her expression, he exposed her acting: “Well, then, Madame, pray that I’ll finish quickly.”

Charlotte Lane leaned despondently in Kevin Clark’s arms.

Instead of praying for that, she might as well pray for winning a hundred million in the lottery tomorrow; the odds were even greater.

Heh.

It served her right.

Why did she act so arrogantly?

Because they were going to the Research Institute the next day, Kevin Clark didn’t bully her too much.

But all day the next day, Kevin Clark still felt murderous intent.

It came from everywhere. She behaved normally with him and spoke nicely to him.

Even before getting off the car at the Research Institute, he even received a kiss.

This had never happened before.

It was the murderous intent that directly struck his heart.

He felt as if he had done something unspeakable last night.

Finally, the murderous intent was appeased with an ice cream after work.

Thomas Firway picked them up.

Kevin Clark specifically asked him to buy it.

On the way home, Kevin Clark watched Charlotte Lane eat her ice cream slowly, the calm but triumphant expression on her face…

He felt that he was calculated upon once again.

…

After dinner.

Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane both went to the study room.

Kevin Clark sat next to the desk, while Charlotte Lane held a computer on the sofa.

The study room was quiet, with only the sound of the keyboard.

Although there was no communication, both of them were seriously dealing with their own work, and the atmosphere was exceptionally relaxed and harmonious.

More than an hour later, Charlotte Lane’s cell phone rang once.

She glanced at it, the note was a bunch of new garbled codes.

Her new note for Diego Giovanni.

Diego Giovanni sent her a message: [In ten minutes, they’ll set off.]
