A Kathleen Lookalike
Gizem was in a hurry to board the plane. Thus, she withdrew her hand from Caleb’s cold grip and left.
A frown was etched on Caleb’s face as he wondered if he had guessed wrongly. But she looks very
much like Kathleen, be it her face or her back. It’s just that Kathleen is not mute. Still, Caleb thought he
should ask her again. When he turned around to look for Gizem, she was already out of sight. Where
did she go? At that moment, Philip approached him.
“Mr. Lewis, the plane is ready for take-off.” Caleb remained indifferent.
“Send someone to investigate the lady I stopped just now. I want all her information when I get back
from Zedfield.”
“Understood!” Philip nodded. With that, Caleb turned around and got ready to board the plane. He took
a private jet, whereas Gizem took a commercial flight.
Although they were heading to the same destination, they weren’t on the same plane. After more than
ten hours, the plane landed safely.
Gizem rushed to see Theodore as soon as she got off the plane. However, she stopped the car
midway. Wait a minute! If this is really Theodore’s doing, wouldn’t I be in danger if I went there now?
Although Gizem wasn’t sure what Theodore wanted, Freya had previously told her that his goal was to
take Desi’s blood. If that was true, then she’d only be regarded as an enemy by Theodore if she went
there now.
Then, she would be captured by him. After giving it some thought, Gizem decided to wait for the night
to fall. She would go there in the dark. Meanwhile, at a hotel, Samuel smoked continuously as he stood
by the large window. He had come to Zedfield for Gizem and Desi, but after he arrived, there was no
news of them anymore. All traces of them had disappeared. Suddenly, a person popped into his mind
—Richard.
It was Richard who recommended Gizem before. As soon as Richard received Samuel’s call, he
rushed to see the latter.
“What’s wrong, Samuel?” Richard asked with a frown.
“How did you meet Gizem?” Samuel questioned aloofly. Richard stiffened. “I heard Gizem kidnapped
Desi. Is that true?” Samuel remained silent.
“How can this be?” Richard was shocked. He added, “I can’t believe she would do this. I met her at an
academic conference. She’s exceptional in our field, so I got to know her. Then, we kept in touch over
the phone. I just thought of her when you mentioned you wanted to change Desi’s doctor-in-charge.”
Samuel continued puffing his cigarette. It had been a long time since he last smoked.
“I’m telling the truth, Samuel.” Richard was perturbed.
“How about this? I’ll ask around and look into this.” The gaze in Samuel’s eyes looked cold. Just then,
Tyson came in.
“Mr. Macari, I’ve found something,” he reported.
“Windwell Corporation vanished into thin air a few years ago, but Gizem is from this organization.”
Richard was overwhelmed.
“What?” He had heard of Windwell Corporation before this. It was the time when Samuel got infected
by the male lovebug. An elderly had come looking for Samuel and declared he could help the latter.
Following Samuel’s near-death experience and Kathleen’s disappearance, the elderly man never
showed up again.
Richard only knew that the old man had something to do with Windwell Corporation, but never did he
expect that Gizem was connected to the organization, too.
“What’s your view on this?” Richard looked at Samuel. “Some time ago, I heard that Gizem is from
Axeworth Corporation,” Samuel said.
“Do you think one person can belong to two organizations? Based on my understanding of the
organizations in Zedfield, someone who does that won’t be able to live another day once they get
caught.”
“That’s right,” Richard replied flatly. “Although this place is chaotic, there are still some rules in place.”
Samuel’s expression darkened.
“So, I don’t think Gizem is from Windwell Corporation.”
“But Mr. Macari, they heard that she claimed to be a member of Windwell Corporation,” Tyson chimed
in. Samuel glanced at him and responded, “Windwell Corporation is a fake organization.” Both Richard
and Tyson were shocked by that statement. “Fake?” “I found the link of this organization on the dark
web just now,” Samuel explained in an aloof tone. “This organization appeared out of nowhere after I
was infected with the male lovebug. Then, I fell into a coma, and Kate disappeared. After two years,
Windwell Corporation vanished without a trace. But recently, it became active again.”
“I’m confused.” Tyson knitted his brows. “Mr. Macari, please enlighten me.” Samuel remained
expressionless. “Windwell Corporation is just Axeworth Corporation’s disguise. They tell others that
they are from Windwell Corporation when they are actually from Axeworth Corporation.” Tyson widened
his eyes, his mouth agape. Meanwhile, Richard frowned. “You mean the elderly from back then lied
that he was from Windwell Corporation to prevent you from tracking him?” Samuel nodded in response.
“So that’s why!” It suddenly dawned on Richard what had happened. “For the past few years, we kept
trying to investigate Windwell Corporation, but our attempts were futile. Apparently, it’s just a disguise.”
Samuel’s tone turned serious. “Although it was a fake organization before, their actions lately don’t
seem fake.”
“What do you mean?” Richard was at a loss. Samuel oozed a chilly aura. “I’m going to meet the leader
of Axeworth Corporation.” “Are you sure about that?” Richard frowned. “I think he has something to do
with Gizem taking Desi away,” Samuel said coldly. Also, it was best for him to see it for himself. Samuel
wanted to know if the leader of Axeworth Corporation was the elderly from five years ago. “Okay!”
Richard nodded in agreement. “I’ll go with you!” Samuel’s face was devoid of emotions.
“I’ll go alone.” “But it’s dangerous.” Richard sounded worried. “No, it won’t be.” Samuel was certain. “I’ll
sneak in. Nobody will notice me.” It would alert the enemy if he went there openly. Thus, Samuel
planned to go there secretly and figure out the situation. He would find a way to rescue Desi if she was
really in their hands. When darkness fell, Gizem went to Theodore’s place all alone. She climbed inside
through the windows on the second floor and went straight to Theodore’s room. Gently, she pushed
open the door and walked into the room.
To her dismay, the bed was empty. Gizem touched the bed, and it was cold without a hint of warmth. It
seemed like Theodore wasn’t sleeping here. Then, she turned around and went to the study. Once
again, she was met with disappointment when she saw that there was no one in the study. What’s
going on? It’s so late now. Where could he go? After checking the study, Gizem went to the first floor.
Usually, there were two ladies taking care of Theodore’s daily needs. Thus, Gizem went into the
housekeeper’s room, hoping to see someone. However, the housekeepers were not there too.
This is strange. Is there no one in the mansion? After pondering over it, Gizem switched on the lights in
the mansion. In an instant, the whole place was brightly lit. Gizem thought someone would come out if
they saw the lights. Yet a few minutes passed by, and no one appeared. It seemed like the mansion
was indeed empty. Gizem turned around and went to the study again. She figured that she could find
some clues if Theodore had left the place. Gizem knew he had many hideouts, but she wasn’t sure
where he was hiding now either. She had no choice but to start searching for clues. Just when she was
engrossed in looking for clues, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Is Master back?
Gizem quickly hid behind the door. After a short while, the door to the study was pushed open. Soon, a
tall silhouette walked into the room.
“Stop!” Gizem said coldly.
