Chapter 1218:
She turned to Allison, her face apologetic. âIâm so sorry, Ms. Clarke. Everyone in the building knows youâre coming. It may cause a few hurdles during your visit. Please, forgive me. Yasha is no easy person to deal with.â
âItâs alright.â Allison gave a small nod, her tone reassuring. âThere are always obstacles in business negotiations.â
Seizing the opportunity while Laila appeared guilty, Allison casually brought up a question.
âI noticed something earlier. No one seems to be wearing the white coats or lab uniforms I expected. But when I walked by earlier, I thinkâ¦â
âI saw some women in white coats. Who were they?â Allison subtly brought up the clue about her mother.
âWhite coats?â
Laila frowned in confusion but quickly shook her head.
âIâve never seen anyone wearing them. But each lab has its own dress code, so maybe someone walked out of the building in the white coat to do something and forgot to change.â
âI see.â
Allison nodded thoughtfully, though she wasnât entirely convinced.
She felt something was off, but she couldnât place her finger on it. Based on Lilianâs previous description, her mother had blended in with the staff at Aröme Tower for some reason.
But Allison couldnât make sense of why her mother would choose to stay in Aröme Tower, especially if she were being targeted.
This was a place where countless people came and went every day. If she wasnât careful, she could easily be discovered.

After Allison and Kellan stepped into the experimental area of Aröme Tower, Laila gave them a quick reminder, her tone calm but efficient. âToday, youâre free to access all the floors with your passes. Feel free to move around the tower. If you need anything, just contact me.â
âOkay, thank you.â
âYouâre welcome.â
Laila gave them a nod before heading off to tackle her own work.
Allison scanned the expansive area.
âKellan, this place is huge. Letâs split up and gather some intel on this floor.â
âAlright, but be careful.â
âYou too.â
They each donned their passes and ventured in separate directions through the experimental area.
In a quiet corner, Allison discreetly pulled out her phone, her gaze fixed on Lilyanaâs location. Their signals were overlapping at that moment.
It confirmed one thing â Lilyana was still inside Aröme Tower.
If she was here, there was still a chance to find her.
