Chapter 436


    As soon as Vivienne finished speaking, Percival and Leopold both paused for a beat.


    Leopold, who was driving, quickly asked, “Vivienne, what exactly does this organization do?”


    He was aware of the situation with Fiona but had never heard of this organization before, so he was


    trying to get his head around it.


    “It’s simr to the Frostfire Intelligence Agency,” Vivienne exined. “They take on tasks assigned by


    clients – finding people, finding objects, all sorts of stuff. Pa once tried to hire CK to find her


    daughter, but CK didn’t take the job.


    But CK... They don’t have any lines they won’t cross. If the price is right, they’ll even deal in human


    trafficking, like Fiona did when she hid Astrid for Mr. B. Fiona imed it was her first time, but it


    certainly wasn’t CK’s first rodeo.”


    Leopold caught on. “So, the baby trafficking cases from before, they had CK’s fingerprints all over


    them.”


    “Exactly,” Vivienne replied, her expression darkening.


    CK was a group that had risen to prominence in the past few years, a bitter than the Frostfire


    Intelligence Agency.


    However, because they yed by no rules, some individuals with sinister motives sought them out. For


    their own gain, they would harm other people’s families and their lives.


    Thus, CK was more popr in the underworld.


    Percival’s deep eyes narrowed as his voice dropped an octave. “Fiona only imed she was the head


    of CK and did everything herself.”


    “She’s contradicting herself.” Leopold clicked his tongue. “She said that the Astrid thing was her first


    time dealing in human trafficking, but we know for a fact that CK has trafficked infants before. How


    could it be the first time?”


    “She’s not telling the truth,” Percival murmured, his long fingers tapping slowly on the windowpane.


    After a moment, he spoke again, “Let''s head to the safe house.”


    Leopold nodded, stepping on the gas as they headed toward the safe house.


    Fiona was ratherfortable there, rising punctually each day, passing her free time with books,


    newspapers, and the news. When questioned, she repeated the same few lines.


    She imed she was the leader of CK, did not know who Mr. B was, and that all transactions were


    through the Ellington Group and Jeffrey’s art gallery.


    Percival entered, finding Fiona absorbed in a painting by Elia, or in other words, by Vivienne.


    Hearing Percival approach, Fiona barely lifted her eyelids, but upon seeing Vivienne, there was a


    flicker of response.


    “Vivienne, could I trouble you for something?” Fiona asked.


    “Speak,” Vivienne replied nonchntly, hands in her pockets.


    After a moment of silence, Fiona looked up. “I would like to see all of your previous design drafts.”


    Vivienne raised an eyebrow, not knowing what to say.


    Was Fiona treating this ce like her personal study?


    Vivienne’s lips curved into a smirk as she said, “Sure, but it’ll cost you.”


    “What do you want?” Fiona’s eyes shimmered with a hint of hope upon Vivienne’s agreement.


    Vivienne’s eyes sparkled mischievously. “I could want a lot of things. Money? Strawberry cheesecake?


    Rare herbs? Or perhaps...”


    Her gaze lifted slightly, the smile on her lips growing. “Information on ck Dragon, the elusive head of


    CK.”


    Fiona’s gaze stalled at the mention of ck Dragon.


    ck Dragon was the code name for CK’s boss.


    No one had ever managed to find any information about him.


    Even Percival, despite having captured and interrogated her for so long, had not found any information


    about the leader, even though Fiona imed to be the head of CK.


    But Vivienne seemed to know.


    Fiona looked up. “You found out?”


    Vivienneughed, a dazzling smile on her face. “Is it hard to find information on a leader of a shady


    organization?”


    After a pause, Fiona replied, “Since you’re so informed, there’s no need to ask me. Besides, I wouldn’t


    tell you even if you did.”


    Vivienne leaned back in her chair, legs crossed, chin propped on her hand. “I’m not nning on asking


    you. However, if you want my designs, you must give me something in exchange.”


    Fiona stayed silent for quite some time before looking up. “Anything else I can give, just not information


    about ck Dragon.”


    Vivienne propped her chin with her arms on her legs, pondered for a while, then said, “I don’t seem to


    need anything.”


    Fiona was speechless, thinking, “Then why are you wasting my time?”


    Vivienne turned and nced at Percival, asking with a faint smile, “Mr. Wolf, what do I need? Can you


    remind me?”


    Percival’s lips twitched. His Vivienne’s knack for infuriating people seemed as powerful as ever.


    Then, he brought over a chair and sat next to Vivienne, his long fingers entwining with hers, his voice


    smooth as velvet, “My Vivienne has everything she needs. Shecks nothing!”


    Vivienne nodded in agreement but said, “No, wait! I have to pay for your expenses. You’re too high-


    maintenance. I can’t afford you no matter how rich I am.”


    “I’m not high-maintenance. Just make me spaghetti from time to time.”


    Vivienne’s eyes lit up. “That I can do.”


    Fiona was at a loss for words, yelling inside, “Enough! I don’t want to see you two showing off your


    love!”


    As if Vivienne had heard Fiona’s inner thoughts, she turned to her and said, “Though I have everything


    I need, my designs are numerous. You need them, White Tiger doesn’t, but you’re useless to me, while


    White Tiger could be. So, what shall we do?”


    Fiona was startled, her emotions betraying her control for a moment. “You know about White Tiger!”


    White Tiger was a code name known only to her, the true mastermind behind CK.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    ck Dragon and White Tiger were the highest authorities in CK, and all orders filtered down from


    White Tiger to the rest.


    ck Dragon was the face of the operation, the one who stepped into the light when necessary.


    And ck Dragon was her code name.


    Fiona bit her lip, her eyes wide with shock that refused to diminish.


    How much influence did Vivienne wield to have information on White Tiger?


    Who on earth was she?


    Before Vivienne could finish, Fiona suddenly shouted, "Enough!"


    Her fingers were clenched tightly, and her expression was twisted with distress.


    She never imagined Vivienne would unearth her secrets with such rity.


    If Vivienne knew, then Percival... Co?tent belo?gs to Draм?nоvеls.cоm


    Her gaze shifted to Percival, who sat with his legs crossed, idly toying with Vivienne''s fingers, his


    expression unchanging as if he had long been aware of these machinations.


    Fiona''sugh broke the tension abruptly.


    Ha!


    She had schemed for so long and had operated in the shadows, only to find herself ensnared in his


    strategies. She had thought her disguise was impable!


    Of course! Her cousin, Percival, was leagues beyond the likes of Jeffrey.


    After spending so much time with her family, she had almost forgotten that Percival controlled a vast


    financial empire and was known to others as Mr. Percy!


    No wonder everything had gone so smoothly before and why she had failed so spectacrly this time!


    After a brief pause, she added a stiption, "You may ask, but I''m not obliged to tell."


    Vivienne met her gaze squarely, cutting through the pretense, "Is the Boar Poison in White Tiger''s


    possession?"
