Chapter 539
After leaving the slums, they parked the car in an
unmonitored area outside the back entrance of the hotel. Griffon and Emelyn removed their masks
simultaneously, and threw them to Zack for destruction. They quickly got out of the
car and strode towards the hotel.
They entered the elevator, which had been modified to avoid
surveillance, and quickly made their way back to the room through a special passage. As they closed
the door, Emelyn
walked up to Griffon.
“Thank you for standing in for my brother and helping the headquarters deal with those people. I
couldn’t have done it
by myself.””
“And I tend to catch people’s attention due to my identity. Thank you for pretending to be my partner
last night to help me forge an alibi.”

entrance.
“Wait, Greyson.”
Emelyn walked over in her high heels and continued, “We’re
being investigated both domestically and abroad. My brother asked me to remind you not to expose
your identity, even to your closest confidants.”
Griffon’ handsome face gradually turned cold. “If he didn’t
pick a fight with Johnny, would anyone investigate you?”
Emelyn was silenced by his words. It was true that the
recent crisis in Organization S was caused by her brother’s
provocation against Johnny.
Realizing she was in the wrong, Emelyn didn’t say anything
more and just nodded. “I’m sorry. We’ll be more careful in the
future.”
Griffon retracted his icy gaze and quickly left. He walked through the lobby and towards the car parked
outside the
hotel, under the watchful eyes of onlookers.
Once the servants left, Taya got up from the bed and went to
the bathroom. She took off her wet clothes, filled the bathtub
with water, and took a bath.
After cleaning herself thoroughly and tending to the cuts on her palms, she changed into a fresh set of
clothes and went downstairs to the study room.
She opened the last row of bookshelves and took out the pile
of lost items. She came to the living room and placed them on
the glass table. She sat on the sofa quietly, waiting for Griffon.
She sat on the sofa, quietly, waiting for Griffon…
Not long after, a Lincoln limousine stopped at the entrance of
the villa.

When he saw Taya sitting in the living room, his flustered heart finally settled down.
Even the pair of bloodshot eyes which had not been closed for four days couldn’t help but show a hint
of a smile.
He adjusted himself, raised his thin lips, and walked towards Taya with a smile. “Taya…” When he
walked to her, he wanted to reach out and hug her, but Taya avoided him. She was being polite and
distant to him, as if she had seen a stranger. “Since you’re back, we should clear some things up.”
Griffon’ expression froze. The uneasiness that had just subsided rose again because of this cold
sentence. His thick eyebrows furrowed, looking at Taya who had turned ice-cold. “Are you angry with
me for not coming home on time yesterday?”
He squatted down, kneeling in front of her with one knee,
explaining, “I have an organization in Europe, and something
happened over there yesterday. That’s why I couldn’t come
back in time. I called you, but you didn’t answer…”
Taya remembered those strange phone calls from Washington, thinking they were harassment calls.
But it
turned out to be him.
