Kate was still pondering the question in her mind when Roderick turned to Don Julio and asked sternly, "Are you sure you are telling the truth, or are you just making this up to escape the punishment that awaits you?"Don's face frowned with worry as he explained himself. "Mr. Holmes, there's no point for me to tell lies at this point. I'm already seriously injured; will telling lies save me from my injury? No, it won't."Roderick felt a tinge of emotion in Don's voice at this moment, which made him believe that he must really be telling the truth.But the major question on the ground was still: who could really be behind such a move against Kate?John, who had stayed behind watching the whole scene unfold, felt it was his responsibility to handle this matter on the ground more than anyone else in the room.He was the head of the Bolton Group's special security team sent from River City to watch over the Ice Queen. If he couldn't be useful in digging out the culprit behind this hint o

Outside Don Julio's residence, Kate and the others were heading towards their cars when the Ice Queen of River City began showering Roderick with all sorts of praises."It's all thanks to you, Mr. Holmes. If not for you handling this matter perfectly, we wouldn’t have gotten the important information we needed tonight."The gorgeous lady was still marveling at how Roderick had handled such a serious matter flawlessly.With a nod, Roderick responded, "Miss Bolton, I think we still have more problems to look into. We only learned that there are some enemies after us; we haven't found out who they are yet."Kate chuckled, "That doesn’t mean we can neglect the fact that you have handled the matter perfectly so far. If you hadn’t suggested that we visit Don Julio tonight, we would have thought he was the most extreme enemy after me in Glacia City."Kate wasn’t ready to let Roderick’s efforts go unacknowledged.It really meant a lot, especially to Kate.Since Kate insisted on giving Roderic

Family? Wife? Children?Tony was completely lost about what Kate was talking about. He was surprised which wife Kate was referring to when he had been single all his life.A man who didn't have any woman in his life—how is it possible for him to have children?Tony didn't even get the slightest glimpse of what Kate was pointing at this time.Meanwhile, Roderick closed his eyes tightly as he tried to remember if he had ever mentioned to Kate that Tony had a wife and children.It's really a great task to tell lies. First, you have to be very creative to tell believable and realistic lies.Secondly, you must have a great retentive memory so as not to contradict yourself in the future about your own lies.After Roderick made a quick recap in his head back to the day Kate visited him at the house, he remembered he had never mentioned anything about Tony having a wife or anything of the sort.Then, what was Kate talking about now?The silence in the atmosphere was close to making Roderick a

In a short while, they arrived at Bolton Manor. Kate quickly made her way to the kitchen to prepare something light to fill their stomachs.They had finished eating when Kate's phone suddenly began to ring. Upon glancing at the screen, she was surprised to see who the caller was. "Christie? Why is she calling at this time of day?"Kate said in a low tone before answering the call.Instantly, Christina's voice came through on the other end of the phone as she spoke quickly."Miss Bolton, there's something I just remembered. I can't believe I forgot to mention it to you earlier."Kate's eyes lit up slightly, sensing the urgency and seriousness in her secretary's tone."What is it, Christie?" Kate asked, giving her full attention.Christina cleared her throat before answering, "I forgot to tell you that I was able to trick the thugs who came to kidnap me into revealing who was behind their operation. They mentioned Don Julio, the Mafia Lord of Glacia City!"After Christina disclosed that

It was very early in the morning the next day at Bolton Manor. Kate and Roderick were still in a very deep sleep in the sitting room when Christina entered with a very worried look on her face.Just as she raised her head and saw Kate, almost half-naked, resting her head on Roderick's bare chest, Christina's face instantly flushed as she shouted in great shock."What?! What's going on here?!"Christina's voice was so thunderous that Roderick and Kate woke up immediately.Both of them still had blurry eyes until they saw Christina standing before them with a very angry look.She was already panting heavily from anger. It was more like a wild dog that had already lost its temper and could do something rash at the next moment."Christie, what's the problem? Why did you make such a scary shout?"Kate, whose eyes had just opened upon seeing how dangerous her secretary looked at that moment, had to ask.Christina was stunned by the question her boss had just asked her. Was she trying to say
