Chapter 771: Not Daring to Breathe a Word

"Of course, it’s great!" Katherine Irving immediately replied proudly when asked by her.

Seeing Katherine’s confident demeanor, Summer Shawcross nodded her head, then continued.

"Then... if we return after Noah Drexler, do you have a way to get us home before him?"

After Summer finished speaking, Katherine thoughtfully considered for a moment before confidently responding.

"No problem, I just checked the map on my phone. There’s a small road nearby that can take us back, though the road’s condition isn’t great. Sean Morgan took the main road when he came."

Hearing this, Summer nodded and then said thoughtfully.

"Alright, first drive the car to a more secluded and less noticeable spot. We’ll go together to check out the building over there. Once Noah and his people have left, we’ll head back!"

"Got it, ma’am. I’ll follow your lead." Katherine nodded, still a bit puzzled as she asked Summer.

"But... if you want to know the truth, why not just go in and ask the boss directly?"

She didn’t understand. They were husband and wife, so why was there no honesty?

Last time at Silvanus Manor, she already found it strange why the boss wouldn’t just let her know the truth and instead went through so much trouble to create an illusion with Snow and so many others.

Katherine’s words made Summer sigh.

"If he wanted to tell me, he wouldn’t be hiding it from me on purpose."

She couldn’t just rush in now. Since Noah intended to keep it from her, even if she went in, he still wouldn’t let her know the truth.

After all, with the poisoning incident, she only found out after he had concealed it from her for so long.

If Noah was going to tell her, he would have explained everything when she noticed the small wound on his arm last time.

But clearly, there was no intention on his part to tell her.

So she planned to check out the area first, hide for a while, and see if she could discover anything.

With these thoughts, Summer’s expression became even more complex. For some reason, she felt... this matter was either related to her or to The Drexler Family?

Because if it were another matter, he wouldn’t deliberately place it in such a concealed location.

Thinking of this, Summer couldn’t help but turn her head and look in the distant pitch-black direction.

...

Much later, Katherine parked the car between two buildings, completely hidden. No one would notice there was a car here in the darkness.

After parking, Katherine led Summer stealthily to the side of the building, inspecting all around.

The windows of the building were sealed tight, not a trace of light could penetrate, and the protective measures were extremely secure, exuding a sense of mystery.

It looked like there might be something very confidential inside, or possibly someone hidden as well...

Such tight security left Summer feeling increasingly uneasy.

Just as they found nothing and contemplated leaving early, some noise suddenly came from the entrance of the building.

It sounded like a door opening.

Summer was startled, quickly pulling Katherine to crouch at the corner of the building.

The door was pushed open, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Summer and Katherine crouched at the corner, barely daring to breathe, straining their ears to listen closely.
