Chapter 465


    “What?” Jaydeen was bewildered. She did not know if she had exposed herself or it, as Cynthia had


    previously suggested, he was just bluffing,


    The man’s voice carmed a hint of danger. “You should know that my patience is limited.”


    “I really don’t know what you’re talking about,” Jayleen forced herself to reply withposure.


    “You don’t? Then how did K fortify your system? Since you won’t talk, I’ll have to use your brother and


    grandma to force it out of you. The man’s presence was terrifying,


    “I really don’t know!” Jayleen sounded like she was on the verge of tears. “Please don’t harm them.”


    The man’s patience seemed to have wem thir “This is yourst chance. Besides yourself, who else has


    had ess to your phone? Tell me, and I’ll reward you. If you refuse, I’ll make sure you understand the


    consequences.”


    Thest few words sent a chill nonning down Jayleen’s spine, and she was horrified. Her body turned


    cold, her breathing became erratic, and it was even harder for her to answer him.


    “Still not talling? The man’s tone was eerie.


    Jayleen trembled involuntarily. It was an instinctual fear of this person


    Cynthia noticed Jayleen’s distress and held her empty hand, giving her a reassuring page and a warm


    touch


    Jayleen’s panicked heart immediately found sce


    Her eyes were bloadshot, her lips pale, as I she were on the verge of tears as she said, “I really haven’t


    given it to anyone else. It has always been with me, except..”


    Jayleen paused as if recalling something.


    The man also noticed and asked, “Except for what?”


    “I lost it chce when I returned. Apart from that incident, the phone has always been with me,” Jayleen


    spoke slowly


    “How did you lose it?


    “I don’t know… I went out for a while, and when I returned, it was gone. I told Joshua about it, and he


    helped me retrieve it.”


    After Jayleen spoke those words, there was silence on the other end


    Cynthia nced at her, surprised by Jayleen’s ability to react so quickly.


    Jayleen, however, became flustered by Cynthia’s gaze and instinctively waved her hand, looking


    nervous.


    Cynthia was confused.


    “I promise that every word I say is true. Please don’t harm my grandma and brother,” Jayleen pleaded


    anxiously. The man only said, “Whether your grandma and brother will be safe depends on whether


    you’re lying or not.” After saying that, he hung up before Jayleen could react.


    The man fiddled with his phone, and his emotions were unreadable. Then, he looked at the woman still


    sitting in front of theputer and ordered, “Check the surveince around Jayleen’s location and see


    it there are any suspicious Individuals.”


    The woman did as instructed and soon replied, “None


    “Are you sure that Khad fortified Jayleen’s phone system?”


    The beautiful woman with sleek, long hair replied, “Absolutely. She taught rue everything she knows,


    and I can naturally spot her works.”


    The man was deep in thought. In the end, he only said, “Keep a close eye in Jaleen’s phone during this


    period. Let me know where she goes and who she


    The woman nodded, “Okay.”

    Meanwhile, to prevent hackers from eavesdropping through Jayleen’s phone, Cynthia gestured for


    Jayleen to go to the living


    room outside.


    Jayleen did not ask further questions and followed her.


    Once outside, Jaybeen immediately exined, “I mentioned Joshua earlier because he has more


    influence. It would be more credible if I said that Joshua helped me retrieve the lost phone. Please


    don’t misunderstand.”


    “I understand,” Cynthia replied


    Jayleen breathed a sigh of relief but suddenly remembered the content of the phone conversation.


    “By the way…”
