    Chapter 78 Heading to Macamer


    Her face, which had been a picture of innocence, suddenly turned to shock. Her eyes widened as she


    stared at me, defensive and cold. “Yvette, what are you implying?”


    Idris had already served the chamomile tea. I shot Moore a light smile. “No big deal, just a friendly


    reminder. If you take too many risks, you’ll get into trouble someday.”


    “You…” She tried to retort, but the sight of Idris silenced her. Tears clung to her cheeks, her face a


    picture of vulnerability.


    Idris set the tea on the table. Seeing Moore had fallen silent, he turned his dark gaze voice a low


    rumble. “What were you two discussing?”


    to me, his


    I gave him a sidelong nce, a small smile ying on my l*ps. “Oh, nothing much. Just girl talk. I’ve


    got to run, I[ve got some things to take care of.”


    My rtionship with Idris had always been aplicated one. It started off formal and distant. After


    Moore returned, my feelings for him became a mix of resentment and affection, making our interactions


    anything but smooth. Now, even though he was open, I found myself oddly ufortable around him.


    I rushed out of Clearwater Residence, making a beeline for Scott Corporation. With Bt in Macamer,


    we needed to figure out how to bring him back.


    The police would not be enough.


    In the office, when I mentioned my n to retrieve Bt from Macamer, Maxwell was quick to object.


    “No way, I don’t agree. What good would it do for you, a pregnant woman, to go there? Yvette, aren’t


    you being a bit overconfident?”


    I had expected his reaction, so I responded calmly, “It would be useful. The local police can’t directly


    arrest Bt in Macamer, but someone from the maind can bring him back.”


    His eyebrows knitted together as he looked at me, “What are you nning?”

    I shrugged. “We need to go to Macamer, bring someone to fetch Bt. If my guess is right, Caleb


    should be there too.”


    His brows knitted together even more. “You’re going to bring them back? Just you?”


    I shook my head. “No, not me. I’ll bring others. I won’t have to lift a finger.”


    He pressed his l*ps together, still not agreeing. “No, I thought it overst night. I should be the one to


    go to Macamer and bring them back. You should stay at Scott Corporation. It’s safer if I go


    instead of you.”


    I shook my head, looking at him. “I’ve considered that n, but right now, Scott Corporation is more


    stable with you in charge. There are many decisions that I can only trust you to make. If I stay at Scott


    Corporation, I worry that problems will arise before you can bring them back.”


    Right now. If it were not for Maxwell holding things together at Scott Corporation, it would have already


    fallen apart. If he left, it would certainly descend into chaos.


    When it came to business, I knew my limitations. I did not have the knack for it. I was always at a loss


    when problems arose.


    I felt more at ease with Maxwell around.


    Hearing me say this, he looked a bit embarrassed. “You trust me so much. It makes me happy.” Seeing


    his awkward expression was a bit hard to bear. I looked away and said, “So, it’s settled. I’ll handle


    things at Scott Corporation and head to Macamer the day after tomorrow.”


    He made a tsk sound, knowing his objections were futile.


    He thought for a moment and said, “Don’t rush this decision. First, tell me how you n to bring them


    back. Yvette, I’m serious. You’re pregnant. Even if I agree with you doing this, you need to at least


    make me feel at ease about letting you go.”


    Understanding his concerns, I reassured him, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything. You just focus on


    managing Scott Corporation and wait for my return.”


    He was about to ask something else when Marcus walked in. He looked at me and announced, ” Ms.


    Scott, there’s a situation with Bt’s mistress.”


    Bt’s mistress!


    I was taken aback for a moment, quickly turning my attention to Marcus, urging him to continue.


    Marcus nced between me and Maxwell, then exined, “The person I assigned to keep an eye on


    her reported that a man has been visiting her frequently these past few days. I initially suspected that


    Bt had sent him. Perhaps they were nning to escape the country. But the observer reported that


    this man seems to have an unusual rtionship with Bt’s mistress. He’s been spending nights


    there quite often.”


    “Spending the night?” I was somewhat surprised, blurting out, “Is he her new beau?”


    Marcus was not sure. “It’s hard to tell. Their rtionship doesn’t seem to be a recent


    development. I had someone watch them for a few days and discovered that the man appears. to be


    dealing drugs, and not in small quantities.”


    Drugs?


    I paused for a moment, a thought shing through my mind. I looked at Marcus and asked, ” Do you


    have a picture of this man?”
