Chapter 539


    Chapter 539


    After leaving the slums, they parked the car in an


    unmonitored area outside the back entrance of the hotel. Griffon and Emelyn removed their masks


    simultaneously, and threw them to Zack for destruction. They quickly got out of the


    car and strode towards the hotel.


    They entered the elevator, which had been modified to avoid


    surveince, and quickly made their way back to the room through a special passage. As they closed


    the door, Emelyn


    walked up to Griffon.


    “Thank you for standing in for my brother and helping the headquarters deal with those people. I


    couldn’t have done it


    by myself.””


    “And I tend to catch people’s attention due to my identity. Thank you for pretending to be my partner


    last night to help me forge an alibi.”


    Griffon didn’t have time to say much to her. He turned around and was about to leave through the main


    entrance.


    “Wait, Greyson.”


    Emelyn walked over in her high heels and continued, “We’re


    being investigated both domestically and abroad. My brother asked me to remind you not to expose


    your identity, even to your closest confidants.”


    Griffon’ handsome face gradually turned cold. “If he didn’t


    pick a fight with Johnny, would anyone investigate you?”


    Emelyn was silenced by his words. It was true that the


    recent crisis in Organization S was caused by her brother’s


    provocation against Johnny.


    Realizing she was in the wrong, Emelyn didn’t say anything


    more and just nodded. “I’m sorry. We’ll be more careful in the


    future.”


    Griffon retracted his icy gaze and quickly left. He walked through the lobby and towards the car parked


    outside the


    hotel, under the watchful eyes of onlookers.


    Once the servants left, Taya got up from the bed and went to


    the bathroom. She took off her wet clothes, filled the bathtub


    with water, and took a bath.


    After cleaning herself thoroughly and tending to the cuts on her palms, she changed into a fresh set of


    clothes and went downstairs to the study room.


    She opened thest row of bookshelves and took out the pile


    of lost items. She came to the living room and ced them on


    the ss table. She sat on the sofa quietly, waiting for Griffon.


    She sat on the sofa, quietly, waiting for Griffon…


    Not long after, a Lincoln limousine stopped at the entrance of


    the vi.


    The tall, cold and noble man pushed open the car door and strode into the vi.


    When he saw Taya sitting in the living room, his flustered heart finally settled down.

    Even the pair of bloodshot eyes which had not been closed for four days couldn’t help but show a hint


    of a smile.


    He adjusted himself, raised his thin lips, and walked towards Taya with a smile. “Taya…” When he


    walked to her, he wanted to reach out and hug her, but Taya avoided him. She was being polite and


    distant to him, as if she had seen a stranger. “Since you’re back, we should clear some things up.”


    Griffon’ expression froze. The uneasiness that had just subsided rose again because of this cold


    sentence. His thick eyebrows furrowed, looking at Taya who had turned ice-cold. “Are you angry with


    me for noting home on time yesterday?”


    He squatted down, kneeling in front of her with one knee,


    exining, “I have an organization in Europe, and something


    happened over there yesterday. That’s why I couldn’te


    back in time. I called you, but you didn’t answer…”


    Taya remembered those strange phone calls from Washington, thinking they were harassment calls.


    But it


    turned out to be him.
