Although Mark was unaware of her exact history, he was convinced that she had been covertly sent by a foreign company.

A tremor passed through Mark's heart.

He was about to instruct Peter on something when Cathy arrived. Having had a relationship with Mark in the past and acquainted with Zoey, she presumed that her presence would bring joy to Zoey's heart

However, Zoey knew well that her son's only concern was Cecilia, thus her enthusiasm was quite restrained.

Zoey didn't even offer Cathy a glass of water.

Nonetheless, Cathy seemed unperturbed by the lack of hospitality. In a soft voice, she addressed Mark, "Mr. Evans, my apologies for causing you trouble."

Mark was taken aback but he maintained his composure and nodded subtly.

He exchanged a glance with Peter.

Peter understood the unspoken message.

At this moment, Peter was on edge, full of admiration for Mark's ability to perceive everything and make prompt decisions in such circumstances...

Indeed, Cecilia must have been abducted.

‘And Cathy was the spy they had been looking for.

Fortunately, Mark had his men working in that foreign company. Without hesitation, Peter stepped outside and discreetly sent a message on his phone.

“Abduct Cathy Wilson."

Having dispatched the message, Peter returned with a smile, acting as if nothing had transpired.

"Mr. Evans, Miss Wilson, it's time for us to leave."

Mark gave a slight nod.

Cathy entered the car with Mark.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was heavy and silence prevailed. Unseen, they engaged in a subtle competition of wills.

When the car halted at the technology center, Mark's phone rang. The number displayed was unfamiliar, and the voice on the other end had been disguised.

"Hello, Mr. Evans."

Mark's grip on the phone tightened, turning his hand pale, yet his expression remained impassive as he responded with a smile, "What can | do for you?"
