Chapter 669

The cold-faced woman slowly lowered her head and looked at her

phone. The Facebook chat group "Secretly, Greatly" was already

buzzing with activity.

Alby: [Just got a new case, investigating Cody's case and looking for

evidence. Hey, I always thought Cody was a good guy.]

Chad: [Who knows if it's all an act? A few years ago, there was some

big leader who rode his bike to work every day, but it turned out he was

corrupt.]

Ward: [Forget about it. I still think Cody is innocent.]

Type: [Since we've taken the case, let's do our best to investigate.]

Wind: [How much did they offer?]

Alby: [Three million.]

Chad: [Damn! That's a lot of money!]

Type: [Am I the only one who noticed that Zero hasn't shown up yet?]

Alby: [Zero? Are you there? We can't do this alone so let's all work

together on this case.]

Zero: [I'm here. This job must be done well. Please help me out,

everyone.]

Chad: [What the hell? Bro, what's your relationship with Cody?]

Zero: [I won't tell you. Hurry up and investigate! If the money isn't

enough, then I'll add another two million!]

Alby: [...]

Wind:[...]

Type: [Bro, don't play like that. It seems like you have a close

relationship with Cody, so we need to investigate even more thoroughly

now.]

Alby: [Give it our all and wait for our updates.]

Sylvia closed the chat group and looked back at Franklin, "Secretly,

Greatly seems pretty mysterious?"

Franklin thought she didn't know anything about them, so he didn't

suspect her, "It's a very secretive organization; they say they work for

the president but... they also take private jobs from time to time; not just

loyal to the president.”

Sylvia nodded, "Sounds pretty impressive... if I told you that I am..."

She wanted to explain again about her relationship with Secretly,

Greatly but Franklin received another call. "Okay, I understand.”

After hanging up, the man deeply gazed at Sylvia. "Ricardo has woken

up. Let's go to visit him in hospital?"

Helpless, Sylvia had no choice but put aside telling him about her

identity. "Let's go.”

The two of them went together with Jasper to Urgford Hospital.

In a VIP ward, Ricardo was drinking porridge while Isla stood by his

bedside concerned, "Ricardo, you're too hardworking normally. Give

some work over to your assistant. It is important for you take care of

yourself."

Ricardo looked up at Isla, the leader of the computer technology

department.

Normally, they had no interaction since she worked in a different

department. Why was she so busy taking care of him when he fell ill?

She even brought breakfast this morning, which surprised him and

made him slightly wary and suspicious.

He had heard of Isla before - she was a high-ranking member of MI6

and known to be quite demanding.

Ricardo was generally mild-mannered and treated his assistants well

without any strange temperaments that some higher-ups might have.

So, he didn't reject Isla’s sudden kindness too much; he just became

more cautious.

“Isla, thank you for your concern and breakfast. There are nurses here

to take care of me, so if you have other things to do, please go ahead,”

Ricardo said politely.

He didn't want to owe anyone favors, especially not someone like Isla

who could be difficult to deal with.

"Ricardo, don't be so polite. We're colleagues after all, and everyone

can see how well you treat us," Isla replied as she poured Ricardo a

glass of water.

Smiling faintly in response, Ricardo said, "Thank you."

As they were talking, Franklin walked in with Sylvia by his side.

"How are you feeling today? Still have a headache?" Franklin asked as

he tried to stop Ricardo from getting out of bed.

"Don't move around too much; your health is more important,” Franklin

added sternly when Ricardo tried again to get up from bed.

"Master Franklin, I bought breakfast for Ricardo earlier today. Did you

eat breakfast yet? There's still one left.” Trying her best to establish her

presence, Isla held out the food container towards Franklin and said,

"Would you like to try it?"

A strange glint appeared in Ricardo's eyes upon hearing Isla's words.

He realized that Isla was using him to win Franklin's favor!

Franklin coldly refused her offer. "No, thanks; my wife and I already

ate."

Only then did Isla seem aware that Sylvia was present. "Oh sorry Miss

Andrews! You're here too?"

Sylvia gave her only a cursory glance before replying coolly, “Miss

Saunders, you arrived quite early.”

Upon hearing Sylvia's voice, Ricardo couldn't help but look behind

Franklin at the woman standing there.

Sylvia had so fair skin that it almost shone under bright lights.

Her features were delicate, and her aimond-shaped eyes were clear.

She wore her long hair tied back into an elegant ponytail, and exuded

an aloof aura.

"This is..." Ricardo couldn't resist asking about this mysterious woman

standing behind Franklin.

“Ricardo, this is Sylvia. She's got some pretty good medical skills, so I

asked her to come over and take a look at you," Franklin said with

great respect for Ricardo. "If there's anything bothering you or making

you uncomfortable, just let her know."
