Chapter 20 Happen to Know
Theo’s state of mind was not as tranquil as it appeared at this moment. All the
answers seemed to be on the verge of revealing. He could soon dispel the fog to uncover
the truth
Ezra’s words echoed in his ears. Tm sorry, Mr. Heimann, we have indeed located the person Maeve sent to secretly photograph you, but we haven’t discovered the specific reasons yet Ezra didn’t expect it to be so difficult to extract information from that person
“No matter, if he won’t speak, then I will go inquire of his master”
Theo tightly gripped the steering wheel, his chilling gaze baring his emotions
Parking the car at the hospital entrance, he took a direct path through a special comidor
to the VIP ward. He was uncertain if Maeve had planted her spies elsewhere
Entering the elevator, Theo pressed the floor number impassively, his eyes fixed straight
ahead
Ding The elevator doors slowly opened
Step by step, he approached Maeve’s ward. Initially, he had arranged for Maeve to be in the best ward to ensure her tranquility However, he didn’t anticipate that within this hushed corridor, beyond the slightly ajar door, he could still catch the sound of conversation from
the room
Halting outside the room, Theo listened attentively
“How did things go?” It was Maeve’s sweet voice, but this time it carried a malevolent
undertone.
“Don’t worry. Nobody could threaten your position now” Dr. Nolan responded with smug satisfaction, exchanging a glance with Maeve.
“Hey, my dear sister is quite thoughtful that she chose to commit suicide. It wasn’t in vain that we invested so much effort in setting up this chessboard. Although she didn’t die on the operating table, she chose another way to end her life.”
Dr. Nolan, standing by, donned a white coat, but his countenance emanated cutting
coldness
“Back then, if she agrees to give you her kidney, it would be a better choice for her. She could have quietly died on the operating table, but now, she died in such a pitiful state. I’ve heard from colleagues that her face was crushed, even unrecognizable.”
These words made Maeve blink warily. “Are you sure about her identity? Can you truly confirm that the body is Cecilia?” She sneered, unwilling to tolerate any blunders in this
matter.

“I am sure. The wedding ring on the body is right the one she never took off.” Dr. Nolan
pondered for a moment before asserting.
“A ring she never took off?” Maeve uttered a sarcastic laugh. Cecilia, how silly you are! The one you loved the most only turned out to be manipulated by me. But Cecilia, don’t
blame me. Blame your own fate. In your next life, may you never be my rival again.
Maeve stared at the sunlight outside the window, a faint smile curling her lips. From
now on, the sunlight will shine even brighter.
“Oh, by the way, thank you for helping me fabricate the false medical report. Without it, I couldn’t gain Theodore’s trust so easily. Don’t worry. I’ll reward you.”
Dr. Nolan knew too much her secrets, and Maeve understood that they were on the same boat now, so she must maintain their cooperation carefully.
“Thank you, Miss Payne. It’s my duty.” Dr. Nolan lowered his head, a genuine smile.
reaching his eyes. Excellent, he would finally ascend to the position of director.
Knock! Knock! Theodore, having heard enough of what he wanted to know, walked in
and lightly tapped the door.
Maeve turned around, her face instantly turned pale in panic. Theodore, when did he
arrive? Why hadn’t anyone informed her?
Maeve glanced at Dr. Nolan, a puzzled expression on her face, and he, too, appeared
bewildered.
“Theo, when did you arrive? I’ve missed you so much!” Maeve swiftly regained her composure, approaching and gently holding Theo’s arm.
Theo subtly retreated to avoid her touch.
“Just arrived. Have I interrupted your conversation?” Theo asked coldly, maintaining a
distance between himself and Maeve.
“Theo, what’s wrong? Why are you so distant? I’ve been in great pain these past few days! And my sister, how is she?” Maeve hoped that Theodore had just arrived and didn’t
catch any of her words.
Only then did Theo raise his head, casting a meaningful gaze upon Maeve.
Dr. Nolan, sensing the weird atmosphere, hastened to say he had an urgent matter to
attend to and turned to leave.
“Dr. Nolan, please wait a minute. I have something to ask you.” Theo called out to Dr.
Nolan before he could depart.
