Taya sat on a bench for a long time, wiping away the tears. on her face. After replying to Neil’s message, she found that there were several calls from a foreign number. She glanced at them briefly, but her phone blacked out. It was displaying a low battery sign when she turned it back on. She didn’t bother herself over those missed calls. She put her phone back in her pocket, and hailed a taxi back to the villa. She entered from the backyard and didn’t disturb anyone, quietly arriving at her bedroom on the second floor.
The servant who received a call from Griffon hurriedly replied respectfully, “Ms. Palmer hasn’t woken up yet, Alpha Knight.” Griffon, who couldn’t get through Taya’s phone, furrowed his brows slightly and asked, “She’s usually awake at this hour, why hasn’t she gotten up yet?” The servant was alarmed by his reminder and replied, “Wait a minute, let me go check.” The servant didn’t dare to hang up the phone and quickly walked in the direction of the master bedroom. After gently pushing open the door, she saw Taya was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, sound asleep. The servant’s heart that was hanging in suspense suddenly relaxed. She quickly left the room and picked up the telephone receiver to tell Griffon, “Sir, Ms. Palmer is really Griffon finally relaxed, instructing the servant, “Prepare a nutritious breakfast and encourage her to eat more when she wakes up.” Then, Griffon quickly hung up the phone as if he didn’t have time, throwing his mobile phone to Emelyn beside him. Emelyn, who was being ruthlessly treated, looked up at the man wearing a blue and green mask.
A hint of impatience flashed in her eyes, “Before the mission, in such an urgent situation, you decided to call your wife. The mission isn’t over yet, but you can’t wait to call her.” “You not only called her, but you also borrowed my phone. Can’t you just get your own phone?” Griffon ignored Emelyn’s complaints. He felt a sense of unease in his heart that made him increasingly irritable. “How much longer until it’s over?” Emelyn, who had a white feather mask on, turned to the side as she snorted again. “Greyson, how can you still have the nerve to ask how much longer it will take? If you weren’t distracted last night, two important targets wouldn’t have escaped.” Griffon’ face remained cold, with no response, as his mind was full of Taya. Originally, he was supposed to head back to meet up with her after finishing the mission at the NASA. However, something happened within the organization. Although he didn’t want to deal with it, Emelyn ordered someone to intercept the car he was pa*sing by while waiting in the restaurant… After hearing about the involvement of several thousand lives in the headquarters, he was persuaded by Emelyn to take her brother’s place in solving the problem.
However, before the operation, he borrowed Emelyn’s phone and called Taya. He wanted to talk to her in advance, but no one answered the phone. Thinking that something had happened, he quickly called home, but the servant told him that Taya had already gone to bed. He didn’t want to wake her up so he didn’t let the servant wake her to answer the phone. Because he didn’t hear her voice, he was anxious all night. The uneasiness distracted him during the operation, which resulted in two individuals escaping from under his grasp, something that had never happened before. Before the two individuals escaped, they had unmasked Emelyn. If they didn’t handle it properly today, “S” would be exposed to the public… Thinking of this, Griffon looked up at Zack, who was regulating the tracking route, and asked, “Have you located them?” Zack’s fingers operated on the keyboard for a while before he respectfully replied, “Sir, they are in the slums.” Griffon withdrew his gaze and coldly scanned the driver, “Drive!” It had to be finished within an hour. He had to hurry back to meet Taya. Emelyn, who was sitting aside, was dissatisfied and glared at Griffon again. Her brother and she had never made such a mistake when working together, but Griffon… She didn’t know why their adoptive father had established Organization S for him and had everyone serve him. Clearly, her brother and she were their adoptive father’s children, while Griffon was just an outsider, yet the adoptive father valued him greatly. Despite her doubts, Emelyn was still very impressed when she saw Griffon deal with the escapees without distraction. At least his methods of dealing with those bad guys were not inferior to her brother’s. After leaving the slums, they parked the car in an unmonitored area outside the back entrance of the hotel.
Griffon and Emelyn removed their masks simultaneously, and threw them to Zack for destruction. They quickly got out of the car and strode towards the hotel. They entered the elevator, which had been modified to avoid surveillance, and quickly made their way back to the room through a special pa*sage. As they closed the door, Emelyn walked up to Griffon. “Thank you for standing in for my brother and helping the headquarters deal with those people. I couldn’t have done it by myself.”” “And I tend to catch people’s attention due to my identity. Thank you for pretending to be my partner last night to help me forge an alibi.” Griffon didn’t have time to say much to her. He turned around and was about to leave through the main entrance. “Wait, Greyson.” Emelyn walked over in her high heels and continued, “We’re being investigated both domestically and abroad. My brother asked me to remind you not to expose your identity, even to your closest confidants.” Griffon’ handsome face gradually turned cold. “If he didn’t pick a fight with Johnny, would anyone investigate you?” Emelyn was silenced by his words. It was true that the recent crisis in Organization S was caused by her brother’s provocation against Johnny. Realizing she was in the wrong, Emelyn didn’t say anything more and just nodded. “I’m sorry. We’ll be more careful in the future.” Griffon retracted his icy gaze and quickly left. He walked through the lobby and towards the car parked outside the hotel, under the watchful eyes of onlookers.
Once the servants left, Taya got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. She took off her wet clothes, filled the bathtub with water, and took a bath. After cleaning herself thoroughly and tending to the cuts on her palms, she changed into a fresh set of clothes and went downstairs to the study room. She opened the last row of bookshelves and took out the pile of lost items. She came to the living room and placed them on the gla*s table. She sat on the sofa quietly, waiting for Griffon. She sat on the sofa, quietly, waiting for Griffon… Not long after, a Lincoln limousine stopped at the entrance of the villa. The tall, cold and noble man pushed open the car door and strode into the villa. When he saw Taya sitting in the living room, his flustered heart finally settled down. Even the pair of bloodshot eyes which had not been closed for four days couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile. He adjusted himself, raised his thin lips, and walked towards Taya with a smile. “Taya…” When he walked to her, he wanted to reach out and hug her, but Taya avoided him. She was being polite and distant to him, as if she had seen a stranger. “Since you’re back, we should clear some things up.” Griffon’ expression froze. The uneasiness that had just subsided rose again because of this cold sentence.
His thick eyebrows furrowed, looking at Taya who had turned ice-cold. “Are you angry with me for not coming home on time yesterday?” He squatted down, kneeling in front of her with one knee, explaining, “I have an organization in Europe, and something happened over there yesterday. That’s why I couldn’t come back in time. I called you, but you didn’t answer…” Taya remembered those strange phone calls from Washington, thinking they were hara*sment calls. But it turned out to be him.
