    “When is Captaining back?” Cynthia continued to ask nonchntly, not showing any signs of


    difort about the potential exposure.


    Mitchell chuckled softly. “I do not know.


    Cynthia questioned, “You really do not?”


    “I truly do not. He only mentioned that he would return in a while. No specific time was given.” Mitchell


    was not concealing anything from her.


    Cynthia fell silent. No wonder Captain had told her during theirst call that they would discuss matters


    when they meet.


    From the other end of the line, Mitchell started to guess, “Did you do something behind Captain’s back?


    Cynthia was speechless.

    Why did everyone react this way?


    “No. If he tells you when he ising back, let me know in advance. I need to prepare. Cynthia stuck


    to her answer.


    “Prepare to run away?” Mitchell’s slow, deep voice traveled through the phone.


    Cynthia remained silent. Dealing with someone she was close to was never easy.


    “If you truly did something to offend Captain, I suggest you apologize sincerely. If you try to escape and


    get caught, the consequences would be dire.” Mitchell’s words held a hint of mockery.


    Cynthia replied, “I did not offend him.”


    “Hmm”


    “I really didn’t.”


    “I believe you.”


    Cynthia fell silent again. Was he truly believing her with this clearly mocking tone?


    “Anyway, if you learn when he ising back, tell me in advance,” Cynthia, fearing he might forget,


    reminded him again.


    Mitchell agreed, “Alright.”


    After hanging up, Cynthia handed the phone back to Jimny, her mind still racing about how to exin


    things to Captain should he bring up the previous incident.


    Seeing the worried expression on her face, Jimmy’s curiosity was piqued. “Cynthia, what exactly did


    you do to offend Captain?


    “I did not.”


    “Were you starstruck by Captain’s handsomeness and hoped to sleep with him?”


    Cynthia sighed in exasperation.


    Was she that kind of person?


    Jimmy stroked his chin, posing another question, “Have you ever had feelings for Captain?”


    “Would I dare?” Cynthia retorted.


    Who would dare have feelings for a captain? Even now, she still remembered the grueling training and


    punishments.


    “I am going to sleep now.” Cynthia stood up, not wanting to dwell on this topic anymore.


    Jimmy’s apartment was right below hers, which she had purchased a while back but had never lived in.


    It was just perfect for


    this visit.

    Upon returning to her room, she cleared her mind of everything, took a shower, and threw herself onto


    the bed to sleep.


    There was always a way out, and things would straighten out when they needed to. It was best to


    resolve the matters at hand first. Only after sorting things out here would she be able to deal with the


    person behind Jayleen.


    As for Captain…


    “Let’s wait until he returns,‘ she thought to herself.


    In the blink of an eye, it was moming. By just after seven, Moe had already brought breakfast to


    Cynthia’s home. Once Cynthia finished her meal, Moe drove her to the office. After exining,


    everything, he left ording to routine to obtain the poison report from the hotel.


    During his absence, Cynthia busied herself in the office, working and arranging the clues for the case.


    She had barely started when a phone call interrupted her.


    The call was from the bodyguard at Ellora’s residence.


    “Ms. Yates, Mr. Young has barged in with a group of people and intends to take Miss Ellora away,” the


    bodyguard got straight to the point, speaking extremely quickly.
