Chapter 523

Tobey was frustrated as he was caught between a rock and a hard place.

However, since there was no way out of this, he simply aimed his crosshairs at Stephen and shot back, "Did you think

you're any better than me? Are you sure you didn't want some goodies from that research data?"

"Unlike you, I understand how important the research data is for our own medical field's advancement. I was hoping it

could have been used to its full potential, only for you to ruin everything. I hate myself for being a poor judge of

character!"

As both men kept arguing and even looked ready to get physical, Issac decided that he neither had the time nor the

mood to listen.

James received a call just then-their trackers had just finished their search.

"We don't have any details indicating that they left the country, sir."

"I see." James hung up and turned to Isaac. "No news about them leaving the country. Maybe they are still in the

country."

Issac was not as optimistic.

If anything, the first thing they would have done would be to leave Zidonian borders. The lack of records proved nothing

too-they could have left by some unorthodox mode of travel.

Still, unable to stay and wait in Zidonia, he said, "Keep an eye on things in the country. I'm going to Minerva."

"Alright, I’ll make the arrangements for you," James replied.

Isaac then remembered something else, and he told James, "Don't tell Sheryl Harris about any of this. Just say that

Irene and I went abroad for business, and it will take US a while to return."

"I know what to do," James said.

"Good,” Isaac replied flatly.

Ember Lindt was home when Zachary Slate returned, dressed in a skimpy nightdress and smiling when she saw

him.

"Welcome home," she greeted him as she poured him a glass of water. ’ You look terrible. Trouble at work?"

Zachary was staring closely at her.

She looked so docile and understanding.

Did she really hurt Lulu?

"You told someone to put up those banners during our wedding, didn't you?"

Ember's heart skipped a beat-why would he suddenly ask about that?

"W-What are you saying? I don't understand."

She played dumb-not that she would admit to any of it anyway.

Zachary grabbed her wrist, causing her to drop the glass in panic.

Clang!

The glass shattered into smithereens while water splashed, flowing all the way to their feet.

Still, Ember pretended to look afraid. "What's gotten into you, Zachary?

You're making me scared..."

"Tell me-where did you hide Lulu?" Zachary's eyes were ablaze.

"I don't understand. Why would I know where Lulu is?" she cried, starting to panic a little just then.

Why would Zachary know to ask him about Lulu?

Did he realize something?

The thought left Ember paling, but she kept appealing to his sympathetic side. "You know me, Zachary. I'd never do

something like that... I don't

know where Lulu is, and I don't blame her for the child we lost because of her... Like, she didn't mean to, right?"

So, she was trying to keep playing dumb?

Seeing that, Zachary turned to see her phone, which she left on the dressing table and strode over to it.

The screen still showed her inbox and the messages sent from James's phone.

His eyes red as he glared straight at Ember. "How do you explain this?"
