Chapter 564
Chapter 564:
A touch of worry crept into Irene’s voice. “Lanny told me earlier that Death Thorn put herself in harm’s way to fight off the operatives from Phantom Mercenaries because she admired you. She risked her life to protect you. Now you’ve been back in Ublento for days, so why hasn’t she tried to get in touch p>
Jason found himself stuck for an answer. “Mom, she keeps a packed schedule. Plus, it’s natural for her to be reserved and shy about showing her feelings p>
Irene nodded as she found his words made sense. “And what about you? Do you care for Death Thorn p>
Jason pressed his lips together and then said, “If she agrees to marriage, I will gladly marry her p>
At his words, Irene finally broke into a smile, the worry that had been weighing on her finally gone. Not long ago, she and Jason had clashed over the topic of Lanny, but now they stood united where Death Thorn was concerned. She then added, “If that’s how you feel, pursue her with some heartfelt gestures. Young women are often shy about showing their feelings, so you ought to make your feelings obvious p>
To Jason, telling Irene the truth that he had no way of reaching Death Thorn was out of the question. Back in Podgend, Death Thorn had told him that if he ever wished to see her, he just had to put the word out, and she would come find him, no matter where she was. Yet, that was something he just couldn’t bring himself to do. He was in charge of keeping the Evans family safe. It would disgrace the whole family if he went around telling people he missed a woman.
In the end, Jason could only give Irene a comforting lie. “I’ll get in touch with her soon p>
Irene’s smile widened. “I understand you have high standards. It’s not every day you care for your admirer, especially when she’s your equal! When fate comes knocking, seize it. I’ll be waiting for the day you bring her home as her boyfriend p>
Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, impostors of Milena and Levi sat tied to chairs, their mouths stuffed with cloth, unable to say a single word. Gone was the arrogance they had shown earlier. Now, they looked thoroughly defeated.
Across from them, Elliana and Cole sat in silence as Myles laid out a stack of investigation reports.
The fake Milena did have real medical training and used to run a small clinic in Podgend. He had only pretended to be Milena recently. Other than tricking Ublento Medical University into a partnership, he hadn’t committed fraud elsewhere. It was obvious this fake Milena had arrived in Ublento with a plan and clear intentions.

After going over the documents, Elliana lifted her gaze, her expression cold as she stared down the two impostors. “Talk. Who told you to pretend to be Milena and Levi p>
A bodyguard stepped forward and pulled the cloth out of the mouths of the fake Milena and fake Levi.
The fake Milena gulped down air, but after catching his breath, he stayed quiet, refusing to speak.
Hugh, impatient, swung a fist at him. “Speak! Tell us the whole story, or you’ll regret it p>
Blood trickled from the fake Milena’s lip, but he held his tongue, even shooting a defiant glance at Elliana.
