Chapter 46
“What happened, Ms. Madeline?” Albert couldn’t help but inquire when he noticed Madeline lost in thought.
“I’m not sure yet. Was anything caught on camera by the villa’s surveillance?”
“Someone changed the data in the villa’s surveillance system on purpose, most likely because they didn’t want us to find you.” Albert’s face darkened further as he spoke.
He attempted to restore the data on the surveillance system, but securities had been added to secure the data, and he couldn’t resolve the issue for the time being.
“Give me the video. You should all go back and rest. I’m fine.”
“How about you let Andy give you a full body check, Ms. Madeline?”
“Yes, boss. This time, I think Albert is right,” Andy echoed.
“No need. You two should rest first. I still have things to do in the afternoon. I’m going to bed to rest some more,” Madeline said, subconsciously covering her mouth and yawning.
She stood up and went upstairs before the two could say anything else.
Back in the room, Madeline unlocked her phone; there was a message from Thomas on it.
Thomas texted, “I had no idea I was allergic to ginger, Mommy. It’s truly unique!”
Another text message from Thomas stated, “Mommy! Mommy! Why don’t you care about your precious son? That big scumbag must have caught you!”
Thomas immediately followed up with a worried and indignant selfie of himself.
After changing, Madeline read the messages one after the other while lying down on the chaise lounge.
When she noticed that brat began to express himself using emojis, she swallowed the lump in her throat.
Her son’s intellect was not comparable to that of typical children.
She tapped her phone to activate the on-screen keyboard and began typing quickly.
Madeline replied, “Of course, I care about my precious son. Just now, I unintentionally dozed off. Are you still feeling sick?”
Thomas responded within seconds. “No, that pesky doctor is quite capable. He had me cured in no time. I’m feeling great right now. I even ate several small egg tarts made by Mr. Charles all at once.”
Madeline texted, “Eat less of it. Watch out for tooth decay.”
Thomas responded, “I read it but don’t know how to respond. I propose that Mommy change the subject.”
Madeline’s text to him read, “…”
Thomas texted back, “Oh, yes. Mommy, that big scumbag didn’t seem to return last night. Is it possible he went and bothered you again?”
When Thomas informed Madeline of that information, she was shocked.
That seemed to confirm her lingering doubts that she had seen Noah in the morning.
She felt she was missing something, but she couldn’t figure out what it was, which irritated her.
After a brief conversation with Thomas, she took out her laptop and began repairing the tampered surveillance video.
Shortly after it was compromised, a series of protective measures were added to the video, revealing how suspicious it was.
What had happened in those three minutes?
Curiosity drove Madeline to speed up the bypass process so she could quickly get past the security.
Her fingers tapped deftly on the keyboard, and soon, the video began to enter the analysis program, and the analysis progress counted down ninety-nine percent…
Madeline decided to wash her face after seeing the computer program run automatically. A phone call unexpectedly interrupted her.
The call was from Albert.
“Ms. Madeline, I discovered the wolf-head tattoo. It is the totem of the Lone Wolf, a foreign assassin organization.”
“Oh? That’s fascinating. Someone hired an international assassin to assassinate me?” Although she had several theories about her attacker’s identity, Madeline was still shocked when her suspicions were confirmed that he was a professional assassin.
