Joyce didn't notice Luther's peculiar behavior. Standing up, she said, "This is urgent. Athena has escaped Christian's grasp. I need to contact him right away. It's only fair to inform him, regardless of his attitude."
Vicki held Joyce back, urging her to sit down. "Don't worry. I'll contact Christian. Besides, I have other matters to discuss with him. Some of OGW's people have gone to see Christian. He should find out more inside information than we could. You two wait here for a moment; I'll make the call."
Felix gently pulled Vicki's hand, his gaze tender and intoxicating. "Alright."
Luther held Joyce in his arms, whispering softly, "This time, can you let me handle it alone? You shouldn't go. Firstly, your presence might provoke Athena. Secondly, with your belly getting bigger, it's inconvenient and makes you an easier target. You know I'm worried. Knowing you and the children are safe is the greatest support for me. If you trust me, leave it to me."
Joyce deeply looked into Luther's eyes, his sincerity and earnestness were undeniable. She couldn't refuse. "Hmm, I'll do as you say," she agreed, though she was worried about Luther. But since he put it that way, she didn't want to be a burden. She had never believed in the so-called history between him and Athena; she only trusted him.
Felix glanced at them indifferently, as if he suddenly remembered something, and abruptly stood up.
Thinking of the past, he remembered the recorder he accidentally found in the storeroom, the one he had recorded the evidence of what had happened between Luther and Athena in the past. It was time to expose everything.
"Wait for me here. I just remembered something. I'll go home and get it. If anything happens, call me immediately, wherever you are, and I'll rush over," Felix said.
"Felix, what are you going back for?" Luther hadn't finished his question when Felix had already disappeared.
Joyce and Luther looked at each other, puzzled.
Soon after, Vicki returned from making the call, but Felix was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Felix?" she asked.
"He suddenly said he remembered something and went back to get it. He didn't say what it was," Luther replied.
Vicki frowned, "At this time, what's he so agitated about? It's really unsettling."
"Forget about him. Just now, I received important news," Vicki sat down. "Christian told me that ever since Athena escaped from him, he has been looking for her. But she has hidden herself so well that he hasn't found her whereabouts yet. However, his people have received reliable information. After Cloud left, someone has taken over Cloud's position and is temporarily assisting Athena."
"Who is it?" Joyce was eager to know; this was crucial.
"This person is named Aldis, a native of the Rohomes people. He's said to be very mysterious and resourceful. We can't find out more specific details for now. The only thing we can confirm is that Aldis should be associated with Clint, not from the Yoshikawa family. Christian said that if the Yoshikawa family had such a figure, he would have heard of it," Vicki picked up the teacup in front of her and took a couple sips, feeling her throat much more comfortable.
