Chapter 1143: Chapter 1115: My Dear, You’ve Been Outsmarted by Chapter 1143: Chapter 1115: My Dear, You’ve Been Outsmarted by Zenith Kyan had barely stepped into the house when he slled a burnt stench. Looking at Kiara, he noticed her red, swollen eyes suggesting she had cried, her hair disheveled, with strands showing signs of scorching. Following the sll, he saw the kitchen was in complete disarray, which sent a shock through his heart.
“Could sothing have happened to this couple?”
He had never seen Kiara neglect her appearance like this; the house was in chaos. Should he get Tiara Stone to co up and talk to Kiara? This was just too worriso.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine, I’m very clear-headed right now,” Kiara noticed Zenith Kyan’s hesitant expression and got straight to the point.
“I need your help.”
“Tell .”
“When you go to the company later, then you should do this…”
Zenith Kyan listened in utter astonishnt. It was incredibly far-fetched.
“It’s impossible to fool him. To be frank, One has probably handled real guns more tis than he’s touched the one his parents gave him. He would definitely notice anything even slightly off. How is it possible to pull the wool over his eyes?”
“Have you heard of the Train Station’s ‘change-making’ scam? Do you know how to use this switch-and-bait technique?” Kiara hinted at him.
“Anyone else trying it would definitely get caught, but with you and working together from the inside and out, he trusts you so much, you are his eyes, his hands. How could he possibly not trust you?”
Kiara was confident in her plan.
“Rest assured, just go back now and cooperate with ,” she instructed.
“Really? Will it work?” Zenith Kyan was skeptical.
He had only seen Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’ deceive others but never heard of soone planning to deceive him. Zenith Kyan thought the chances of success were slim to none.
“Zenith, your codena is ‘Hawkeye.’ You’ve served as his observer. He’s fired many bullets, but always relying on your eyes. He’s in trouble now, and I’m asking you, are you okay with that? Aside from , you should be the person who understands him best. Do you think like others that his current position and whether or not he can handle a gun are not important anymore? Are the years we’ve spent together just disposable?”
These words, spoken by Kiara with no trace of humor, yet filled with sincerity, moved Zenith Kyan.
“I’ll go do it right away—just make sure you’ve thought this through. If you succeed, it’s like slapping the Psychological Interference Group in the face. How will they treat you when you co back as a consultant if you’ve already had conflicts with the team mbers?”
Zenith, as an adopted child of a prominent family, understood the intricate dynamics of interpersonal relationships very well. Kiara was essentially placing herself in jeopardy with her risky move.
“I’ll take responsibility for any issues. How can we achieve anything if we’re always afraid of the Wolf in front and Eternity behind? I trust my expertise and my judgnt of the mbers of the Psychological Interference Group. I don’t believe I’m mistaken in my assessnt of them, and I don’t think they’re cowardly enough to sche over petty issues like outsiders do,” Kiara declared.
After ushering out Zenith, Kiara arranged her ho, canceling the standby mode on her computer so the screen would stay on, ensuring that if he returned, he’d see her email imdiately.
Just as she finished, her phone rang with Aka’s call coming in.
Kiara’s lips curved into a smile, the timing was perfect.
“Hello, I am Emma Clark…”
At that mont, she shed the image of frantic despair and lowered IQ, returning to the calculating angle of the Female Boss, her aura in full force. In the face of disaster, Tears and vulnerability were never the solutions.
As Kiara orchestrated her plan, Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’ was, just as she had predicted, sitting alone by the lakeside. He wasn’t drowning his sorrows in alcohol but simply sitting by the lake, silently smoking.
He rarely smoked, yet today he had tossed a large circle of cigarette butts on the ground. His emotions swirled inside with no outlet, experiencing neither intense sadness nor profound grief but an inexplicable sense of loss and despair.
Just then, his phone rang, and upon seeing the caller ID, Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’ grew serious.
“This is Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’.”
“One, I regret to inform you of an unfortunate incident. You need to remain calm. Your wife was abducted by so bad people in a bar about 20 minutes ago,” the grave voice on the other end conveyed.
Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’s’ normally quick-thinking mind was stumped for several seconds.
“You said…who?”
“I regret to inform you, One, that your wife was kidnapped by an unidentified group in a bar in the city 20 minutes ago. She’s currently missing, and we’re already discussing a rescue plan. As a family mber, would you like to co over and have a look?”
“I’m on my way!”
Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’ hung up the phone, his mind a blank.
How could his daughter-in-law have been kidnapped?
The pain from a cigarette butt burning his hand reminded him that this wasn’t a dream.
He quickly gathered his composure, suppressing the fear in his heart and drove swiftly to the bureau, where Zenith had been waiting for a long ti.
“I apologize for entering your ho uninvited. Here’s what I captured on the scene. Take a look.”
Zenith displayed a slideshow on the big screen showing the state of Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’s ho.
The familiar ho, the familiar furnishings—each arrangent represented the perfect haven of warmth in Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’s heart. Yet now, his sanctuary was displayed on the big screen, a sheer heartbreak.
When Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’ saw Kiara’s computer desktop, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly asked Zenith to zoom in.
