Chapter 1253


    Desiree was in a mess, retreating with her hands supporting her body on the ground. She was unable


    to stop shaking and cried at the top of her lungs.


    In stark contrast, the janitor remained surprisingly calm, silencing Desiree with a cloth.


    “You’re annoying,” the janitor stated.


    “Mmph!” Desiree struggled in panic.


    “Don’t tell anyone about the gun, get it?” the janitor threatened.


    Desiree widened her eyes.


    Even Lina was stunned.


    The janitor had chased after Desiree to prevent anyone from finding out that Lina had a gun. After all,


    the Thompsons were now involved in legitimate business, and their reputation could be damaged if this


    information got out.


    However, Lina couldn’t recall having any contact with this person, no matter how hard she thought.


    Why would she help her?


    Fearful and unable to do anything else, Desiree could only nod and cry.


    After removing the cloth, the janitor let Desiree go. Thetter hastily crawled and ran away.Books

    Lina’s heart raced as she stood outside the bathroom’s remote corridor. The mysterious janitor, shorter


    than her, emitted an eerie chill that seemed to engulf the entire space. Even if Ian and his men came


    now, it might be toote to stop her if she intended to harm Lina.


    Lina bit her lip, her body stiff with fear. She couldn’t help but clench her fists.


    The janitor still held her gun. As she walked toward Lina, thetter noticed a vase nearby and


    considered using it to stall her if she tried to harm her.


    But to Lina’s surprise, the janitor handed her the gun and said, “Here.”


    The ringing in Lina’s ears drowned out her thoughts. “You…”


    The janitor pressed down her cap and remained silent.


    Just as Lina took the gun from the janitor’s hand, thetter paused for a moment, caressing the word


    “Krys” on the gun handle.


    Then, the janitor turned around and disappeared at the end of the corridor.


    It took Lina quite some time to snap back to her senses. It felt like she had just woken up from a dream.


    The janitor came and left, leaving no name behind, as if she were only a fleeting figure in Lina’s mind.


    When Lina left the bar, Zuko and Ian were waiting for her with the rest.


    “Are you okay, miss?” Ian asked.


    Lina shook her head mechanically.


    Upon seeing her beaten look, Zuko’s heart squeezed with concern. He hugged her gently and asked,


    “Who were the people you met for the investment meeting today?”


    “The founders of a few enterprises,” Lina replied vaguely. “They were influential women, but we


    couldn’t reach amon ground. So we left after a short time.”


    Zuko inquired about Desiree, and Lina hesitated. She knew Desiree had fled through the bar’s back


    door, but she couldn’t figure out who the janitor was.

    Initially, she nned to investigate herself, but upon seeing Zuko, she found herself relying on him. She


    wanted his opinion on everything.


    “Zuko…” Lina hesitated before deciding to share everything with him. “Can you help me find out about


    someone?”
