    “Yeah!” replied Lisanne solemnly. “Although I really want to find Christopher’s corpse, I don’t want you


    to take any risks. I’m worried about your safety too. Since you’re still alive, your life and safety are more


    important!”Winnie felt touched when she heard that. Chuckling gently, she said, “Looks like our years of


    friendship aren’t for nothing! Since you’re worried about me, I’m sure that you can also understand our


    worry for you, right? We don’t want you to take risks too.”“Yeah, I’ve been too rash earlier. I understand


    that. Actually, I’ve already met Christopher’s parents. They know nothing except that their son has


    sacrificed his life. They believe that the organization will definitely bring Christopher back and I believe


    that too. However, it happened outside the borders. The organization would have to think about every


    step carefully since even the tiniest detail could have a huge impact. That’s why I want to do this


    myself. Often, it’s much more efficient doing things personally than to rely on an organization. Yet, I


    was too anxious and ignored your feelings. I’m sorry, Winnie. I’ve been acting too selfishly toward you


    in the past few days.”“I understand, Lisanne.” Winnie held her hand. “This is just human nature. You


    don’t have to apologize to me. We’re good friends, after all.”“No.” Lisanne was not someone to take


    advantage of rtionships. “I want to apologize to you. I said something quite hurtful at Yartranthe the


    other day. I don’t regret it. Regarding the incident at the research center, I don’t regret helping you at


    all.”“I know.” Winnie smiled. “I know that you said that in a fit of rage.”“You don’t need to look for Lucas.


    Just tell him to deploy more men to Manchernius.”“It’s fine. I’ve already decided.” Winnie chose to stick


    with her decision. “All of you are telling me to stay hidden but that doesn’t solve the root problem. I


    don’t want to keep being hung up on something so uncertain, so I want it to end quickly. Well, it looks


    like luring Harold out is the best solution. After all, he was the only one left other than us back then. As


    it’s highly possible that he has taken Christopher’s corpse away, the most direct method is to look for


    him.”“No, Winnie. That’s too dangerous.”“I admit that it’s quite risky. However, instead of waiting for him


    to appear one day, I’d rather take the initiative. At least, I can gain some control.”Lisanne had already


    regained her rationality by then. After mulling over it, she thought that what Winnie said made sense.“I


    need to discuss with Lucas first.”Winnie nodded. “Let’s go.”Just when both of them were about toC0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    leave, the two phones on Winnie’s desk rang at the same time.The phone connected to the internal line


    would only ring when she was in the office. Furthermore, all the calls would be filtered by the


    secretary’s office first.It was quite rare for both of her phones to ring simultaneously.Just when she was


    about to answer the call, someone pounded on her office door abruptly.As the knocks sounded


    extremely urgent, Winnie immediately responded, “Come in!”Jasmine and a security guard rushed in


    instantly.“Bad news, Ms. Gand!” reported Jasmine anxiously, her brows knitted in a frown.


    “Something happened downstairs.”“What happened? Be clear.”Jasmine took a tablet from the security


    guard’s hands and yed a video for Winnie. “A man held our receptionist hostage. Look.” “Why?”


    Winnie grabbed the tablet and asked, “Have you called the police?”“Not yet. He said that he’ll kill the


    hostage if we called the police. He has already disconnected the receptionist’s phone.”The man in the


    video was in ck and wearing a ck cap too.The cap was pulled over his face, concealing it when


    viewed from the surveince cameras.However, Winnie noticed that he shielded the receptionist’s neck


    with his thumb even when wielding the knife. Since it seemed like he did not have the intention to harm


    the receptionist, she guessed that he had other motives.She asked Jasmine, “What does he want? Did


    he ask for anything?”“Yeah!” Jasmine stared at Winnie worriedly and replied, “He said that he’s looking


    for you. Since his clothes were so disheveled and he did not have an appointment, the receptionist


    refused to let hime up. He continued to be insistent, so the receptionist summoned the security


    guards over. In a fit of panic, he whipped out a knife and took her hostage.”“Looking for me? Are you


    sure?”“Yes!”“Okay, I’ll go down.”“Wait, Winnie!” Lisanne pulled her back. Taking in a deep breath, she


    said, “Don’t go. What if he’s Harold?”“He’s definitely not Harold,” affirmed Winnie. “He’s quite skinny


    and Harold’s much bigger.”“Are you sure? Is it possible that you didn’t recognize him because of the


    surveince footage’s angle?”“No way. Harold’s figure is quite simr to Xavier’s. There’s no way I’ll be


    mistaken.”Lisanne was still worried. “Let’s observe how things go first. Why don’t we call the police


    first?”“Yeah, Ms. Gand,” agreed Jasmine. “Let’s call the police.”Thinking that it was necessary to call


    the police, Winnie nodded. Just when she was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of a circr scar


    on the man’s hand.It was an injury caused by a cigarette burn. If her memory did not fail her, Mason


    had a simr scar on his hand too.She immediately changed her mind. “Don’t call the police first. I


    know that man.”Then, she turned her head around and told Lisanne, “Wait here for me. I’ll be back


    soon.”She instructed Jasmine, “Follow me down with the security guard.”“But Ms. Gand…” Jasmine


    asked anxiously, “Are we really not calling the police?”“No!”Two minutester, Winnie, Jasmine, and


    the security guard arrived at the lobby on the ground floor.As it was still office hours, there were not a


    lot of people in the lobby.There were only a few security guards with two receptionists working on their


    shifts.When Winnie walked closer and took a clearer look, she was sure that the person was


    Mason.She strode toward him with a frown and dered, “I’m here. Let her go!”Mason nced upward


    but did not release the hostage immediately. “It’s you, Ms. Gand.”“Yes. Since this is a grudge


    between us, don’t harm innocent people.”Staring intently at Winnie, Mason said, “I’m only resorting to


    this because I’m out of options. Have you called the police?”“No. We followed your requests and did


    not call the police. You have my word.”“Okay, I believe you. I’ll let her go.” After saying that, Mason


    immediately kept the dagger against the receptionist’s neck. “I have no intention of harming anyone.


    I’m just looking for you regarding something extremely important.”
