Justin lowered his gaze, staring coldly at the screen. A drone footage showed a black car speeding along the winding mountain roads of Domere Mountain.
Sheryl's eyes gleamed with vicious intent as she said, "This vehicle has been circling our research base for a while. Once, it even got dangerously close to the core area. They're clearly searching for something.
"I can't tell whether they belong to Jasper or were secretly dispatched by Ms. Alyssa. Even the satellites can't precisely locate the base. So how did an unidentified vehicle manage to appear here out of nowhere?
"Could someone inside have betrayed us and colluded with outsiders?"
She did not need to say the name. The implication was obvious.
The faint smile on Justin's lips froze. His naturally pale complexion made him look especially cold at that moment. "Who do you think betrayed us and joined hands with outsiders?"
Sheryl hesitated to speak. "I..."
"Remy?" Justin cut in. He studied her with an insincere smirk. "Do you think he has already betrayed me without my noticing?"
"I... I don't have any proof," Sheryl admitted, shaking her head. Worry flickered across her face. "But you know Remy is actually Damien. No matter how loyal he appears, he's still a Taylor by blood.
"If the drugs stop suppressing him, his memories will eventually return. When that happens-"
"Then make sure they don't," Justin said flatly. "As long as his memories remain sealed, everything will be fine. I'm still making use of him. He's far too important to me."
He tapped his slender fingers against the screen. "What about the car? Any results from the license plate investigation?"
At that moment, Sheryl's phone rang. She answered immediately, her expression turning grim. "We've identified it, Mr. Justin. The vehicle is registered under Lovelace Group."
"Oh?" Justin raised a brow, intrigued.
Grinding her teeth, Sheryl said coldly, "The one who tracked us here is most likely Mandy Lovelace-Mr. Winston's second wife. Damien's biological mother."
A faint smile curved Justin's lips. "She truly loves her son, doesn't she? It seems she's already realized that Remy is her son-the one who supposedly died years ago."
Sheryl's eyes widened. "T-Then... could they have already reunited in secret?"
"I don't think so. I
I have absolute
confidence in the drugs developed
by my research center." A frosty glint
flashed in his eyes. "That said,
Remys memories will awaken
eventually if he's allowed to interact freely with his mother."
"What are you planning to do? Eliminate her?"
"I'll leave that to you," Justin answered, closing his eyes to rest. Though he issued
no explicit command, his meaning was unmistakable. "I trust you'll bring me satisfactory results."
On Domere Mountain, two professional bodyguards from Lovelace Group occupied the front seats of a black car. Mandy sat in the back, her gaze locked anxiously on the moving dot displayed on her phone.
"Ms. Lovelace, are you certain it's in this area?" one bodyguard asked, scanning the surroundings. "We've circled the mountain more than ten times There shit a single building here, let alone anyone. Are you sure the person you're looking for is really here?"
"He's here... I'm absolutely certain!"
Her eyes reddened with unshed tears as she stared at the glowing dot.
The other bodyguard glanced at her curiously. "Ms. Lovelace, who exactly are you searching for? You didn't have to come all this way yourself. You could have just left the task to us."
"He's someone..... very important to me," Mandy replied. She inhaled deeply, clutching the front of her blouse as her fingers trembled.
...
Meanwhile, in the research base's security room, the supervisor summoned Remy.
"Remy, take a look. This vehicle has been circling our perimeter repeatedly. Its movements are highly suspicious."
Remy stared at the magnified image of the black car on the screen, his gaze sharp and unyielding. "Any concrete findings?" he asked.
"Yes. The vehicle belongs to Lovelace Group."
The moment he heard that, Remy's pupils shrank. His hands clenched into tight fists without him realizing it.
