“I don’t care whether it’s up to you or not. This is your problem, so you have to take care of
it on your own.”
Susan seemed unwilling to let Eunice go and laughed lightly. “In any case, you can choose
between losing your reputation or protecting me.”
“Are you threatening me?” Eunice exploded with anger as she glared daggers at Susan with
her pretty eyes.
However, Susan was unfazed. She settled into a comfortable position at the head of the bed
and said, “Think what you want. I only look at the results anyway.”
In the end, Eunice had no choice but to hold in her anger and leave the ward.
She left the hospital with an unpleasant look on her face. Whenever she thought of Susan’s
threatening words in the ward earlier, she felt as if she was about to explode. In all her life,
she had never been threatened like this before.
“B*stards, all of them!”
She kicked the car door, venting her anger. All around her, people were frightened by her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvicious expression and steered clear of her.
After her outburst, Eunice gradually calmed down, but her face was still glum. Susan had
exceeded her expectations, and wasn’t a simple opponent at all. A moment of
contemplation later, she drove away from the hospital.
Meanwhile, in the detention center, Edward was talking to the stage operator.
Chapter 1024 The Mastermind
“Our president said that as long as you tell us who the mastermind is, we can get you out. If
not, prepare to stay here for the rest of your life.”
Hearing this, the stage operator felt a sudden pang of fear, but remained silent.
At the sight, Edward seemed to recall something and sneered with narrowed eyes. “What,
do you think that person behind you can get you out? Stop being delusional, my friend. As
long as our president gives the order, no one would dare to let you out!”
“Impossible! She said that she will bail me out!”
The stage operator finally responded, but after he finished speaking, he immediately
regretted it. He had shown his hand.
As if he did not see the chagrin on his face, Edward curled his lips and continued to
tantalize him. “We can wait and see if she would, but let me remind you that you only have
this one chance to save yourself. Think about it; do you want to spend the rest of your life in
a cell, or do you want to take the chance to leave and start over?”
“I want to leave!”
In the end, the stage operator made his choice.
Half an hour later, Edward returned to the company with his findings and headed straight to
Nicholas’ office, knocking on the door before entering.
“President Sawyer, the stage operator has confessed.”
“Who was behind it?”
Nicholas instantly stopped working and looked at him.
Edward reported truthfully, “It was Eunice’s assistant. However, I looked into it, and this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmassistant has no grudge against the young lady, so I guess it was Eunice who ordered it.”
Nicholas’ face instantly dropped. This was not a result he had expected. Eunice had
repeatedly gone against his wife in the past, but he had never paid much mind to it.
However, he’d never thought that this woman would have such malicious intentions.
Feeling the fury emanating from Nicholas, Edward knew that he was completely enraged
and cautiously asked, “What should we do next? Should we call the police?”
After giving it some thought, Nicholas waved his hand and said, “Leave the rest to me. You
can get back to your work.”
In any case, this matter was related to Tessa’s future connections in the orchestra, so he
had to deal with it properly.
Once Edward left, he pondered for a moment and picked up the phone on his desk and
made an appointment to meet Sofia. Later in the evening, the two met at a cafe.
When Sofia saw him, she got to the point. “Earlier on the phone, you said you found out
who the mastermind is, Mr. Sawyer.”
“It’s your second apprentice, Eunice,” Nicholas spat, his tone as cold as frost.
“Impossible!” Shocked, Sofia subconsciously retorted, not believing that her student would
do such a vicious thing.
Nicholas was not surprised by her behavior and sneered. “Why is it impossible? How well do
you know this student of yours?”
