Chapter 1712: Never Started, Just Continued


    Chapter 1712: Never Started, Just Continued


    Joyce didn''t answer. She continued browsing the news and erged the photos.


    She flipped through one photo after another, carefully examining every detail.


    "General, should we call Mr. Warner? I don''t think there was any estrangement between you before. In


    a situation like this, you should proactively rify things. I believe Mr. Warner will give you a reasonable


    exnation," Darrin said from the side.


    "Wait. Look here."


    Joyce suddenly pointed to one of the photos and erged it. "Although it''s obstructed, take a look. Isn''t


    he holding the popr Sharita doll? I''ve seen outdoor ads for these realistic dolls. Besides being able


    RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    to change clothes and style their hair, they can also apply eyshes, do makeup, and paint nails. It''s


    the hottest toy among girls right now."


    Darrin sighed and rubbed his forehead. "General, where is your focus? We don''t have the mental


    capacity to study toys right now. Your phone will start ringing off the hook soon. How do you n to


    exin all of this?"


    "Hush!" Joyce put a finger to her lips, signaling Darrin to be quiet.


    Her gaze remained fixed on a corner of the doll, confirming it repeatedly.


    Indeed, she hadn''t seen it wrong.


    Luther bought the Sharita doll? What is he up to?


    Continuing to browse, Joyce narrowed her eyes and her expression turned serious.


    "Darrin, I might have an idea of what''s going on," she murmured.


    Darrin froze and quickly asked, "What''s going on?"


    Joyce looked up and gazed at Darrin for a moment. "I''ll tell you when I''m sure."


    Darrin remained silent.


    Wasn''t this driving him crazy with suspense?


    "Look at this photo. I think there''s a hotel in the background. It''s deliberately blurred, and the news


    didn''t mention which hotel they entered. But the person who took the photo must have been following


    them to capture the image, so they definitely know which hotel it is. They clearly know but deliberately


    didn''t disclose it in the report. What do you think is the intention of the informant?" Joyce pointed to a


    specific detail in the photo and raised an eyebrow, asking Darrin.


    Darrin pondered for a moment. "The informant doesn''t want the public to know too many details, but


    they want the public to know about this matter?"


    "That''s right. They want both exposure and protection. Contradictory, isn''t it? Who would do such a


    thing?" Joyce continued her questioning.


    Following Joyce''s line of thought, Darrin suddenly realized, "Are you saying that the woman


    intentionally leaked the information? The so-called Mr. Warner''s first love, Athena, deliberately leaked


    it, wanting to create a social sensation while not exposing too much of her own privacy."


    "Exactly!" Joyce snapped her fingers. "Close enough, it should be like that."


    She contemted for a moment.


    "You go and arrange things outside. If there are any reporters, block them all. Let the news continue


    circting online, but it shouldn''t affect our normal lives, especially Anderson''s kindergarten. Go there


    yourself today and inform all the teachers. No private discussions," Joyce instructed.


    "Alright. But..." Darrin was also worried about Joyce. "General, if you need me, call me anytime, and I''ll


    "I''m fine. Have Mr. Arnold get more people and make sure all the reporters near the Warner residence


    are kept away. I''ll handle the rest myself."


    Just as Joyce finished speaking, her phone began to ring.


    She looked down and saw that it was Karl calling.


    Helplessly, she shook her phone at Darrin. "You see, it has already begun."


    Darrin nodded and turned to leave.


    Joyce answered the call, smiling lightly. "Hello, Karl. It''s been a while since west spoke. You''re


    worrying about me again."


    Karl''s voice was calm. "It seems you already know. Your voice sounds calm, so I assume it''s not a big


    deal. How can I help you?"


    Joyce said, "Since Mr. Gregory called personally, I can''t refuse. I really need your help with a small


    favor."


    Karl asked, "Hmm, go ahead."


    "You''ve seen the photos online, right? I want you to help identify the hotel where Luther and that


    woman went. It''s deliberately blurred. We need to digitally enhance it to determine the exact location.


    The informant intentionally didn''t disclose it," Joyce continued, "I think you''ve probably noticed it too, it


    was the woman herself who leaked the information."


    "Yes, I called you because I wanted to discuss this with you. In addition to the details you mentioned


    earlier, I also noticed something else. In the third photo that was released, there''s a person in the


    distance who should be a bodyguard. It''s normal for them to have bodyguards when they go out.


    What''s abnormal is the way this bodyguard walks, the posture and movements resemble the


    professionally trained Rohomes," Karl exined.


    Joyce was taken aback. "Rohomes again?"


    "Not only that. Try zooming in on the image of that bodyguard, erge it as much as possible, and look


    at his wrist. There''s a glimpse of a tattoo," Karl enticed.


    Following Karl''s instructions, Joyce carefully erged the image. "Indeed, there it is. Oh my, Karl, you


    truly are an expert, exceptional. You notice even the tiniest details. So, what does this tattoo


    represent?"


    "The symbol of OGW!" Karl, who usually spoke concisely, got straight to the point.


    Joyce was once again shocked. "OGW?! I remember Luther mentioned that the people who were


    chasing him before, he suspected they were controlled by OGW. How could he be with someone from


    OGW?"


    "So, Luther hasn''t been with you recently?" Karl keenly observed the problem.


    "No. I haven''t heard from him for a week, and he still hasn''t contacted me even after the news broke


    this morning," Joyce didn''t conceal anything. "Karl, don''t worry. Whatever he''s involved in, I''ll find a way


    to handle it myself. Please take care of Juanita and let her know I''m fine."


    "Heh, I can''t hold her back. She''ll probably call you in a moment," Karl chuckled.


    Joyce sighed. Indeed, Juanita''s personality couldn''t be changed even after bing a mother.


    "Joyce, I believe Mr. Warner must have his reasons. However, with Rohomes and OGW appearing


    simultaneously, things are probably not simple. Take care of yourself. If you need help, don''t hesitate to


    ask," Karl stated seriously. "I have a feeling that it''s not a new beginning but a continuation of


    something that never ended. I''ll hang up now, contact me if anythinges up."


    "Alright." After hanging up the phone, Joyce fell into deep thought.


    Karl''s words undoubtedly reminded her.


    Seemingly unrted matters were intricately connected to previous events. Otis secretly contacting


    Rohomes, the recent frequent appearances of Rohomes people in Khebury, and the sudden


    appearance of OGW?


    It''s not a new beginning but a continuation of something that never ended.


    So, the events happening now are all a continuation of unresolved matters from the past?
