Lana waited for a very long time before the boy spoke up again. âWhat happens now? Is this the
end of this case?â
âOf course not,â she immediately replied.
How can we do that when thereâs so much involved in the case? If we close it just because the
other party has found a scapegoat weâd be letting them off easy!
âAs far as Interpol is concerned, your uncleâs case can be closed since theyâve arrested the criminal
organization responsible,â Lana continued. âOn our end, however, the police will continue
investigating Hugo Tilan for his involvement in several illegal activities. Now, as for youâ¦â
Should I suggest transferring Matteo back? After all, his identity is far too special.
Unfortunately, before Lana could say anything more, Matteo interrupted coldly, âIf thereâs nothing
else, HI hang up now.â
âWait!â Lana shouted.
My goodness. This boy scared me half to death!
Left with no other choice, she reluctantly added, âDonât hang up yet, Matteo. I have a mission for
you.â
When Samson made his way to the restroom a few minutes later, he noticed Theo had already
come out.
âHey, what took you so long? I saw those bodyguards entering the school. Donât we need to go
over?â
Confused by Samsonâs question, Theo merely gave him a quizzical glance.
âIâm talking about the other Tilan bodyguards. Theyâve all gone into the building,â Samson explained
as he stared at the latter. âSince weâre working for Ms. Rosalie, shouldnât we join them?â
Odd. I wonder what Theoâs thinking about right now. Is he even focused on this matter?
As it turned out, Theoâs mind wasnât on that at all.
In the end, Theo decided against going inside and told Samson to go ahead. He then rode his
motorcycle back to Tilan Palace.
Unfortunately, he bumped into Zylan the moment he returned, and needless to say, the latter was
surprised. âHuh? Why are you back?â
Theo stood quietly in front of him before blurting out, âMs. Tilan wanted me to get something for
her.â
Zylan couldnât be bothered to probe any further and promptly left the palace with his men and Hugo.
Unbeknownst to him, it was that fateful afternoon when someone infiltrated the penthouse during
their absence.
Thankfully, it didnât take long before the breach was discovered.
âWhat? Did you just say someoneâs broken into the penthouse? Get our men to check it out this
instance!â
Hugo bellowed when he heard the news, his expression dark and menacing.
Zylan, on the other hand, had turned pale as a sheet and quickly left for Tilan Palace with a handful
of subordinates.
However, when they arrived, they were told that the bodyguards in Tilan Palace had already found
the reason for the breach.
âIt wasnât a person. It was a cat.â
âA cat?â Zylan asked doubtfully, not entirely convinced that they had a feline invader.
Given the laser defense system we have in place, not even a fly or a trace of gas would be able to
penetrate it, let alone a cat. No, something smells fishy. I have to check this out myself.
Without further ado, Zylan rushed upstairs to investigate the matter, only to find blood droplets on
the floor.
He followed the trail and soon discovered the remains of a dismembered cat at the penthouse
entrance, much to his surprise.
Well, Iâll be d*mned! It really was a cat!
Meanwhile, Samson saw Theo again when he walked out of the school building with a disheveled
and bruised Rosalie in tow.
Having just gotten out of a fierce fight, the latter glared at Theo. Where have you been?â
Theoâs face blanched almost instantly. âIââ
Smack!
Alas, Rosalie slapped him hard across the face before he could finish his words.
Naturally, Samson was stunned and horrified.
He gaped at how forceful the slap was and was about to say something when he saw Rosalie
wearing a terrifying scowl.
Just like that, he lost all courage to speak up.
âListen carefully. If this ever happens again, your punishment wonât be just a slap,â Rosalie warned,
her voice cold and stern. âIâll end you with my bare hands!â
With that, she strode off, leaving Theo rooted to the spot.
Even though the latter didnât react much, anyone watching closely would be able to see the
darkness in his eyes, which was even more frightening than Rosalieâs slap.
One thing was for sure-neither of them was going to forget the slap.
Soon, the group returned to Tilan Palace.
Due to the penthouse incident in the afternoon, Hugoâs schedule got delayed, and he ended up
staying the night outside. Of course, Zylan accompanied him.
Because of that, no one else brought up Theoâs surprise visit to Tilan Palace earlier in the day.
When evening came, and Samson returned to their room, he realized there was a faint smell of
blood from the trash can. However, no matter how much he searched, he couldnât find anything
suspicious.
In the end, the whole matter was tucked away and forgotten.
