Antidote
At Imperial Garden, Kyle stood in front of the window staring at the dark sky. He was feeling uneasy.
From the time Sally appeared to all the incidents that followed suit, everything flashed across in his
mind. He did not think there was any time to waste. There had to be some drastic action he could take
in order to dig up her past.
The ringing of his phone disrupted his thoughts, and he immediately answered the call.
“Mr. Kyle, the information that you have requested is ready. I will send it to you right now.”
“Is there anyone or anything that looks suspicious?”
“Yes, there are two of them! We are unable to determine the location of one of the phone numbers.
Chances are the owner has utilized high-tech devices to evade detection. As for the other number, we
have tracked it to an idling manor that has been left vacant for years. It was the old address of the
Maupay family.”
Maupay family?
Kyle’s eyes darkened.
So it is true that Sally is somehow related to the Maupay family!
I wonder what Sally’s motive is for getting close to Seet Group.
“Mr. Kyle, with regard to Maupay’s former residence, we have discovered signs of people but found no
one there. We will continue to keep an eye on the manor. As for the unidentified number, we have also
marked it. When you read it, you will understand.”
“All right. I got it.”
Once the call ended, Kyle took a careful look at the information that he had just received on his phone.
His eyes were locked on the two numbers. After a moment of silence, he had an idea.
In order to ascertain Sally’s relationship with the Maupay family, he intended to take Sally with him to
the manor.
He was certain that he would find some clues.
The following day, after Kyle got changed, he invited Sally to go somewhere with him.
“Where are we going to?” asked Sally curiously.
“You will know when we get there.”
When Kyle finished talking, he strode out of the house. Sally was momentarily stunned before she
decided to follow him.
Looking at the tall and muscular figure of Kyle, an idea struck Sally. An outing alone with Kyle would
provide her the perfect opportunity to talk him into allowing her to join Seet Group.
Once she got into Seet Group, it would be much easier for her to carry out her plan!
Both of them got into the Maserati with agendas of their own, and Kyle sped toward their destination.
On the way there, Sally was always the one initiating the conversation and tried to get close to Kyle.
She sized Kyle up. His handsome face and his sophisticated and imposing aura put her at a loss for
words for a moment.
She glanced at Kyle and complimented him with a smile, “These clothes suit you very well.”
Kyle turned to look at her and said nothing.
Sally tried again. “Your driving skills are really amazing.”
Once again, Kyle remained silent.
Sally no longer knew what to say.
What can I say in order to strike up a conversation?
After some thoughts, she tried again. “It must be tiring to manage Seet Group, isn’t it? A company such
as Seet Group will surely require the elites. I wonder if someone incompetent like me stands a chance
to—”
“No!”
Whatever Sally wanted to say got stuck in her throat. Kyle had finally responded. However, she did not
expect such a reaction. With one word, he diminished my hope?
Sally mumbled, “Do you know what I wanted to say before you turned me down?”
“You want to join Seet Group, don’t you? Not a chance.”
Bloody hell! Just because you said no, it doesn’t mean I don’t stand a chance. No way. I must seize this
opportunity and find a way to join Seet Group. This is the only way I can obtain the antidote for my
father.
