The phone rang several times before being connected. âWhatâs up?â Since Brian had been interrogating Tres for the past few days, his sleep schedule had been messed up lately. âIâm sleeping, I didnât hear the ringtone. If you have something to say, do it now. Iâm sleepy!â
âContact the psychiatric hospital where Anna is. North thinks that this Samantha Yapp, whoâs working in my company, looks a lot like Anna. Can you check if sheâs escaped?â
Upon hearing this, Brian, who was initially still somewhat blurry from fatigue, suddenly jolted awake. âEscaped? Impossible! Iâll check now.â
Less than ten minutes after Eugene hung up the phone, Brian called again. âAs you expected, Anna was discharged from the hospital. Have you caught the secretary?â
After hearing the bad news, Eugene was at a loss. âSheâs escaped. Iâm still looking for her. Do you know who picked her up upon discharge?â
Brian answered, âHenry Maxwell and Amy Davis picked her up.â 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.
âBut Iâm thinking someone mustâve assisted them in the shadows. Otherwise, the couple wouldnât 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 Iâm having a hard time finding him.â
After hearing that, Eugene snorted. âIt 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!â
Panicked, Brian asked, âSo what will you do. now?â To answer Brian, Eugene said, âDonât worry. I just need some more time to investigate the cause of the fire. Whatâs the progress of your interrogation with Tres?â
Brian felt helpless. âHe wouldnât spill anything. about the mastermind behind the incident no matter what. I almost killed him during the interrogation.â
âJust lock him up for two days. Beware of The Quintets in case they try to rescue Tres.â âYou too. Never leave the child unattended. If you are busy, I can take care of North for you.â
Upon hearing that, Eugene glanced at North sitting on his lap and said, âItâs alright.â In fact, now that he thought about it, he was.
getting afraid. If it wasnât for the child, it would have been dangerous for him to keep Anna by his side. How was it possible that he didnât 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. âYou are right; Anna was discharged from the mental hospital.â At the revelation, North sucked in a breath of cold air. âIs it really her? What is she doing int the Nolan Group?â
Eugene turned glum, and his voice was cold. âShe either wanted to hurt you or me.â
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 Edwardâs face. Although he was Eugeneâs father, Eugene didnât stand up or address him as his dad. After all, Eugene had only ever seen him as a president.
In fact, he hadnât 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.
