Chapter 1967 The Takeaway


    Chapter 1967 The Takeaway


    Asense of danger crept into every fiber of Joyce''s being. She felt her scalp tingling and shivers running down her spine. Now, in


    her delicate condition, nearing childbirth and with limited mobility, she felt vulnerable. If there was indeed a threat, she had little


    room to resist. What made matters worse was that herputer had just been shut down. Clearly, her hasty return home had


    caught the intruder off guard. In the short span of time since the break-in, the intruder had not managed to leave. Therefore, this


    intruder must still be inside her home, perhaps watching her from somewhere.


    With this realization, Joyce forced herself to remain calm. She pretended not to notice anything amiss and sat down in front of


    herputer as if nothing was wrong. Quickly, she powered it up and swiftly packaged and transmitted all files and data to Dr.


    Jocelyn. She needed to finish what she had set out to do. As the progress bar on the screen advanced steadily, her heart raced.


    Her gaze fell on the emergency button beside her, part of the security rm system installed in her home. When pressed, all


    security personnel would assemble within 5 minutes, including the alert system linked to Anderson. But she had a strong


    suspicion that this button was now inactive.


    Unfazed, Joyce continued with her task, determined not to let the intruder hinder her from sending the information. Just as the


    upload was nearingpletion, Joyce stealthily reached for the drawer where her small handgun was kept. She had not touched


    it in a long while. But before she could open the drawer and retrieve her gun, a hand covered hers, pushing the drawer closed.


    The person behind her had approached without a sound, showcasing a certain level of skill. Joyce stiffened in response. Luckily,


    the upload was done, and as she turned, she was shocked to see none other than Grayson! Clint''s left hand rested on Joyce''s,


    while his right hand toyed with her gun. "Are you looking for this?" he asked with a smile that, despite its warmth, carried a hint of


    eeriness.


    Joyce, taken aback, eximed, "It''s you?" In a sh, she connected the dots, "You tampered with myputer? No! Not just the


    computer! The malfunction in the home automation system and circuitsst time, was that also your doing? You pretended to


    repair them for me, but in reality, you sabotaged them. All to disable my security system and gain ess to my home?"


    "Exactly," Clint admitted without further concealment. "Unfortunately, you''re realizing it toote." Joyce''s eyes narrowed, "Could it


    be? Your target is the EMP technology? Are you sent by Rohomes? That''s why you went to great lengths to get close to me, to


    gain entry into JK Intelligence. You didn''t find what you were looking for in thepany, so you got close to me, to my home?"


    Clint chuckled, "Well done. You figured it all out in one go." Though Joyce had suspected Grayson''s motives, she had


    underestimated his speed of action. She had becent. Staring at him coldly, she withdrew her hand from his and


    moved to protect her abdomen. "You appeared out of nowhere on the sea, pretending to be rescued. It seems you put a lot of


    effort into that. Your fake identity as Gon Macreddin was wless, showing the resources and abilities at your disposal. Grayson


    is probably not your real name. Who are you really?"


    Clint shrugged casually. "| don''t feel like telling you right now. If you want to know,e back to Rohomes with me, and I''ll be


    honest with you." Joyce''s stare turned icier. "So, you are indeed from Rohomes. No wonder you struggled to drive on the left


    side. Rohomes drive on the right, | knew | didn''t misjudge you. Your fine dining etiquette and refined lifestyle suggest a noble


    background. You are no ordinary person."


    "You''re correct on all counts," Clint nodded. Suddenly, he reached out and delicately lifted Joyce''s chin. Staring at her exquisite


    face up close, he couldn''t help but inhale deeply, feeling a palpitation. As a man, he couldn''t resist the primal urge stirring inside


    him. "Don''t touch me," Joyce frowned, pushing his touch away with disgust.


    Feeling a sense of disdain, Clint smirked, "The security system here has been disabled by me. No one will enter. Just so you


    know, I''ve had Jude taken away. He''s on a ne now." Joyce''s expression turned cold. "Why did you take Jude? He knows


    nothing important, the information he has is not crucial. Release him immediately!"


    Clint absentmindedly caressed his


    chin. "Releasing him is not out of the


    question. Such as figuecOl"!

    Clint''s eyes narrowed. He had worked


    for nothing. However, he didn''t leave

    Joyce''s heart skipped a beat. Could it

    poison was close to being undone,
