Chapter 1899: Something Seems Amiss

Joyce didn't notice Luther's peculiar behavior. Standing up, she said, "This is urgent. Athena has escaped Christian's grasp. | 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, | have other matters to discuss with him.

Sof 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 lethandle 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 tto expose everything.

"Wait forhere. | just remembered something. I'll go hand get it. If anything happens, callimmediately, 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, | received important news," Vicki sat down. "Christian toldthat 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.

"Clint?" Luther frowned, "This is a headache. I'm most afraid when these things involve the royal family; it becomes even more

difficult to handle. | believe Aldis is the one pulling the strings behind the kidnapping. He must be flawless."

"It might not be a bad thing," Vicki smirked, "Christian believes that he must be involved this time, he wants to clean house. Since

it concerns Athena, he won't sit idly by. Christian said that Clint's people might not be entirely loyal to Athena, and this can be used

to our advantage."

"Valid point," Joyce nodded in agreement, "After all, they're not from her own clan."

"Mr. Warner, what's wrong with you? You seem a bit off-color," Vicki noticed Luther's subtle change and asked.

Joyce immediately becnervous; she held onto Luther's arm, turned him around, and held his face, examining it carefully.

"Are you feeling unwell? Why is your forehead sweaty?"

Luther forced a smile, "What's wrong with you all? Why so nervous? Don't overthink things. It's hot, a little sweat is normal. | was

just lost in thought for a moment."

He gently reassured Joyce, "It's nothing, I'm fine. Look carefully, I'm okay."
