Chapter 397

Frederick hesitated, glancing at her before finally striding away with long, decisive steps.

With a sigh of relief, Yuna watched him go. But the weight in her heart hadn’t completely lifted, when out of

nowhere, Barnes, in a baseball cap, appeared.

Startled, Yuna demanded, “Tve already given you the money, what more do you want?”

To her surprise, Barnes raised his voice, “You only gave me a quarter of a million, Yuna,you dared to trick me?”

Yuna quickly covered his mouth, glancing nervously at Frederick’s retreating figure.

Meanwhile, Hayes and Manley were still in the CT room. She couldn’t let Manley know about Barnes! She quickly

pulled Barnes into a secluded corner, lowering her voice, “Just leave! Once you’re gone, I’ll transfer the rest!”

Casually crossing his arms, Barnes looked at her. “Your kid’s getting a bone age test, right? Marguerite must know

about the blood type match by now. She’s probably on her way here.”

Yuna, already on edge, felt even more flustered by his words, “Enough! Can’t you see I’m already a mess?”

Barnes leaned in closer, voice seductive, “I do have a solution, on the condition that you transfer the rest of the

money now.”

At this, Yuna’s eyes lit up. Just as she’d hoped, Barnes had a solution. She quickly softened her tone, taking out her

phone and transferring the remaining amount to his account before showing him the screen, “The transaction

takes an hour! Now start talking!”

Barnes glanced at the screen, a triumphant smile finally gracing his features.

He looked around before lowering his voice again, “Remember when you took the baby? Hammond helped you out

with that. Now he’s Maurice’s right-hand man. I bet he doesn’t want Maurice to find out about his past deeds…”

Meanwhile, at Thunderbolt Enterprises.

Upon returning to his office, Frederick was surprised to find all the senior executives gathered, and more surprised

to see Marguerite among them.

How did she get here? Frederick strode forward, voice sharp, “Who let you in?”

Marguerite stood up immediately, “You’re back? Good, open the door and let me out.”

Her hand was wrapped in a bandage, blood seeping through the edges. Clearly, she’d been injured.

She got injured in his office? What on earth had happened?

Robert, sensing Marguerite’s urgency and fearing Frederick’s interrogation might delay them further, stepped in.

“Frederick, Marguerite has an emergency. Please let her leave.”

Frederick’s icy gaze shifted to Robert, “Did you let her in?”

Robert nodded, “I asked her to deliver something. We’ll talk the rest later. For now, let her go.”

Frederick glanced at Marguerite before stepping aside to let her pass.

As soon as they reached the elevator, Frederick’s voice echoed again, “Someone reported you broke a glass door.

Care to explain?”

Marguerite turned around, baffled, “You don’t really think I’m the hacker who broke into your company’s system, do

you?”

Robert quickly intervened again, “Frederick, Marguerite breaking the door has something to do with her lost child.”

Frederick demanded, “Let her explain!”

Marguerite took a deep breath, clearly exasperated. “I’ve provided my DNA to the hospital. Any child who gets a

blood test will automatically be matched against it. The hospital just informed me that theres a match. That child

could be my lost one!”

Frederick pondered her words before asking, “Which hospital?”

‘The Atlas Private Hospital.”

Frederick’s eyes widened in surprise hearing her answer. The Atlas Private Hospital? Isn’t that where Hayes and

Manley were getting their bone age tested?

Frederick quickly took out his phone, his gaze on Marguerite threatening, “I’ll verify this with the hospital myself!

But if you’re lying, you should know the consequences!”
