Scarlet remained wary of Maurice. Even though he appeared furmless, she still didn’t trust him. “Can you give me my boss back??


    Instead of handing Felicia over, Maurice lifted her unconscious body into his arms and started walking down the mounta?n.


    Scarlet gritted her teeth in frustration. But with her injuries<b>, </b>she could not take Felicia back by force Scarlet swallowed her anger and had no choice but to follow him Maurice didn’t seem to have any intentions. He carefully ced Felicia inside the car, grabbed a nket from the side, and draped it over her. His actions were surprisingly


    Down had arrived. The first light of daybreak painted the sky in shades of bloesembling an ocean Golden rays of sunlight soon pierced through the clouds, casting a dazzling glow. Behind them, the monstrous mountain from the night now looked serene and majestic


    Light fell across Felicia’s Lane. Even in her sleep, she was restless. Her brown were furrowed as if she was trapped in a nightmare


    Maurice turned around. Scarlet, who had just finished treating her wounds, nced up and found herself meeting Maurice’s dark gaze. At the same time, she realized there was a gunpointed straight at her.


    Scarlet’s eyes widened as she instinctively reached for the weapon at her waist, only to grasp at empty air. Her gun, the one felicia had given her, and the same one she used just yesterday while chasing that hooded man, was somehow snatched by Maurice..


    Scarlet remained from, not daring to make any sudden moves. If she remembered correctly, there was still onest buller in that chamber


    “Answer my questions, Maurice said impatiently. But if one listened closely, there was <b>a </b>subtle change in his tone near the end. “Why is Felicia out of control? She was fine before.


    Scarlet shrugged, her expression amor of innocence and helplessness. “How would I know? I’m just as anxious as you are. That’s why I’ve been investigating. I almost had a lead today, but that guy ran, and now, the trail is <b>cold</b>.”


    “What about the suspects? Maurice asked indifferently. “Give me the Est.”


    Scarlet’s eyes widened. Wes be implying what she thought he was?


    They didn’t know who was behind the attack on Felicia, but there had to be suspects. And if one suspect wasn’t enough, they would put every single name of them on the list and eliminate them all!


    Was this man serious?


    Scarlet’s expression shifted. But before she could say anything, Maurice asked, “Is there a problem?


    <b>She </b>sighed and nced at Felicia, who blooded man much longer.


    nscious in the car. She hoped Felicia would wake up soon. If she didn’t, Scarlet wasn’t sure she could handle this cold-


    Maurice clicked his tongue at her silence. His tone grew colder, and a dangerous glint shed in his eyes. The mole at the corner of his eye made his expression even more sinister. “I don’t have much patience. You’d better answer me.”


    Maurice would usually the someone up and beat the truth out of them. And it one beating wasn’t enough, he would make it worse. No matter how stubbom a person was had a breaking point.


    And yet, he hadn’t done that to Scarlet. Why? Because she was someone close to Felicia<b>. </b>So, he was showing restraint


    That alone was already shocking mough.


    Maurice’s subordinates and the driver looked dumbfounded. Their widened eyes reflected their disbelie Scarlet wasn’t stupid. She could feel the pressure of the gun barrel and Maurice’s killing interit.
