Chapter 293
Janice nodded. "Yeah, he''s been here, but we didn''t let him get close. Baber has guards stationed
outside, keeping an eye out. He couldn''t get in! And he didn''t dare to force his way in. He knows that
once Baber is involved, it wouldn''t end well for him if he tried anything."
"He''s afraid of trouble then!" I sarcasticallymented.
"It''s not that Baber didn''t care before. I just didn''t want him involved in our family matters!" Janice
exined, "I didn''t want to burden him! But now…"
I patted her shoulder. "Bad guys need a nemesis! Irving is a sly one. It''s good for him to know that you
have support! He''s not to be underestimated!"
"I''m fed up with it all. He checks in here every day, but he has no idea what''s going on inside." Janice
looked disgruntled.
"Did Nettiee?"
"Yes! Like father, like daughter. I just can''t..." Janice sighed. "Thankfully, Dr. Dailey has been very
responsible. He not only switched our hospital room, but also arranged for specific doctors and nurses.
This room is now restricted. Only those he approved cane in!"
I nodded in approval. "That''s good. At least it''s safe for now. When you guys are better, we can move
you somewhere even safer."
"How''s your baby these past few days?" I asked Janice.
Janice sighed, "My baby was born prematurely, so he''s a bit weak. The doctor said he needs to stay in
the incubator for a while. I visit him every day. He''s so tiny, it''s heartbreaking."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she said it. A mother''s love was indeed profound.
To be honest, I had never seen Janice so emotional before.
"It''s going to be okay! This is already a blessing in disguise!" Iforted her, "Don''t worry, preemies
are quitemon, and modern medicine is advanced. He''ll get stronger, you''ll see!"
She sniffled and looked at me. "I hope you''re right. Now, tell me about you. I heard from Geneva that
you got back all the assets that were mortgaged, even the ones in the joint ount. Is that true?"
I gave her a satisfied smile, replying, "Yes, everything''s back. Not only that, but I''m also working on
liquidating Jan''s secret assets. I believe it won''t take long!"
Janice grabbed my hand and said, "Allie, I really admire you. You''re decisive and ruthless. You do what
needs to be done. You didn’t give them any opportunity. A quick victory is the key! Otherwise, if they
had time to regroup, it wouldn''t have been so easy!"

"Actually, he lost because of his greed! He was eyeing the mine. He wanted to take it all." I chuckled,
"But greed is a trap, a deadly temptation! He''s fallen into it now!"
Hearing my words, Jta, whose hand I was holding, stirred. She gazed at me as I turned to look at
her. She blinked, clearly wanting to say something.
"Do you want to say something?" I asked, understanding her cues.
She nodded vigorously.
I quickly nced at Janice, then encouraged Jta, "Go ahead, we''re listening!"
She swallowed, her lips trembling, clearly anxious to speak.
"Easy now, take your time. We''ll understand!" I stroked her hand, signaling her to rx.
Janice also moved closer to her. "Jta, take it easy. Speak slowly. We''re listening."
She stuttered, then finally managed to spit out two words, "Key… Key!"
"Key!" I repeated, and she nodded. I quickly asked, "Your key, right?"
She nodded again!
Janice and I shared a nce, then Janice leaned over to her and asked, "Is the key what you wanted
to give me all those years ago?"
She nodded again.
Janice and I shared a moment of excitement, both asking in unison, "What key?"
We both turned to Jta. She swallowed again, then looked at Janice, hope in her eyes.
Janice looked surprised and asked, "You mean, you wanted to give me a key? But after your car
ident, I didn''t find any key!"
"Bag!" she said clearly.
I guessed, "Did you put the key in your bag?"
Jta nodded vigorously. I turned to Janice, "When you arrived at the car ident scene, did you see
her bag?"
