The man tumbled onto the ground and landed so hard that he could not get up. After a long time, he
finally picked himself off the ground and lifted his head to reveal his bruised face. His face was so
scarred one could barely inake out his appearance. “Ms. Miller, I‘ve already tried my best to choose the
right person for the job. I never thought Steven would appear at the last minute and end up colliding
with the truck…
“I‘m sure you think it‘s my fault, but you yourself have to admit that this was not part of your plan, too,
right? I followed all the instructions you gave me…”
The man climbed up from the ground and plopped back onto the sofa. “I‘ve already sent some people
to keep an eye on Joshua and Thomas, and I even specifically picked a time when they wouldn‘t be
around to do this.
“It‘s not my fault that things didn‘t go as planned…” Kate‘s rage slowly subsided when she heard this.
She rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, “Thankfully, Gwen didn‘t seem to realize that we tried to kill
her, and Steven hasn‘t yet gotten the chance to tell her that he was trying to protect her.
“You, think of another plan to kill her.” A glimmer of malice flashed through Kate‘s eyes.” Gwen must
die.”
The only way for Steven to fall in love with her was to get rid of Gwen.
Initially, Kate had intended to replace Luke‘s brain with Steven‘s so that he would fall for her, but none
of that worked. Even if she had not told Steven the truth, Joshua and Luna would eventually expose
her.
This was why she had to risk everything and tell Steven the truth; she had hoped that Steven would be
touched by her honesty and choose to be with her.
However, she had clearly underestimated him.
To her surprise, after knowing the truth, not only was Steven unmoved by her efforts to save him and
her willingness to put other people at risk for him, but he even began to sympathize with Gwen.
Therefore, her only choice was to get rid of Gwen once and for all.
Should Gwen die, Steven would become her puppet, and she would no longer have to worry about him
turning back into Luke.
At the thought of this, Kate turned to glance at the man next to her. “Do you understand?”
The man nodded fervently. A split second later, he shot Kate a timid glance and asked, “Ms. Miller…if I
help you accomplish this task…will you… Will you help me complete my surgery?”
Kate glanced coldly at the man‘s scarred face and smiled. “Of course. I never go back on my promises.
As long as you help me get rid of Gwen, I‘ll be sure to help you schedule your surgery –it‘ll be as easy
as ABC.”
“Thank you, thank you!” The man clasped his hands together in gratitude.
“I promise I‘ll do my best!” “Alright.” Kate pursed her lips and stood up, evidently in a better mood than
she was just a few minutes ago. “I‘ll be off now. Also, remember to do a clean job, and don‘t let anyone
discover our connection. You hear me?”
The man nodded. “Understood!” Kate finally let out a scoff before turning to leave.
Sitting on the sofa, the man finally let out a sigh of relief after hearing Kate‘s car pull away. He lowered
his head to take out his phone and dialed a number with shaking hands. At the exact same moment,
Thomas‘ assistant pushed open his office door. “Sir, I‘ve found Malcolm! We detected a signal from his
phone just seconds ago! “We‘ve traced the signal to a rural part of town on the outskirts of Saigen
City!”
