Chapter 1196: Chapter 1168: Who Retires After Success (Four Updates) Chapter 1196: Chapter 1168: Who Retires After Success (Four Updates) After placating Old Father Jackson, Grace Bradford stepped outside with Kiara. Arlong had already obtained the evidence and was now back in front of the computer, pretending to be his brainless youth persona. Grace Bradford expressed her gratitude to Kiara.
“Dr. Clark, I owe you one this ti. My dad’s getting on in years and is like a kid, whatever pops into his head, he does.”
“Don’t ntion it, it’s what I should do.” Kiara smiled towards Arlong’s direction, her words bearing a double aning.
Once they left the Moore Clan, Kiara asked Arlong, “Got it?”
Arlong gestured with the small bag in his hand, “Easy peasy! But I have so much respect for you and my brother-in-law. How on earth did you figure all this out?”
Kiara revealed a secretive smile.
The inspiration for their series of sches that ca from “Whispering Tiredness” was not for the ears of outsiders, not even for her own little brother!
The combination of Edward Wheeler’s brain, which was even more efficient than a calculator, and Kiara’s excellent professional skills, resulted in this unique series of sches that no outsider could replicate!
Today’s evidence collection was just the first step in their sche. Kiara, resting her hand on her stomach, smiled serenely and confidently.
“Sis, what are you grinning about?”
Kiara kicked him lightly, “What do you know! I’m teaching my baby in the womb!”
“I don’t understand your world of geniuses…” Smiling is part of prenatal education?
“I’m telling my niece that she should be like her parents, using her brain in the right way, knowing what she should and shouldn’t do. And when it cos to finding a partner, she should find soone with a similar IQ. Definitely not soone as dim-witted as her uncle, or she might end up with a low-IQ kid…”
Underpants!
Arlong was offended, even the prenatal education had to use him as a bad example?
“With you and my brother-in-law’s genius brains, I don’t know how you two were ever brought together. If your child inherits your IQs, that would be terrifying. It’s sowhat manageable if it’s a boy, but if it’s a girl and she’s that smart, she might have trouble getting married…”
“Tsk! Such a jinx!” Kiara spat back at him.
The sample Arlong brought back was indeed indescribable as suspected, proving Edward Wheeler’s hypothesis correct. However, the evidence was insufficient, the quantity being less than the 10-gram threshold for prosecution. Furthermore, considering Grace Bradford’s cunning, if Edward Wheeler had soone from a brother departnt try to catch her, she would definitely destroy the evidence before they arrived.
Therefore, Edward Wheeler had no intention of using that substance to entrap Grace Bradford. After confirming that Grace Bradford had been secretive about her travels abroad and that they had found sothing indescribable in her ho, Edward Wheeler and Kiara devised a second sche.
The next ti Kiara visited the Moore Clan, she brought the Beautiful Lady ‘Beautiful Lady’ along.
With Grace Bradford not at ho, the housemaid imdiately reported the visit upon seeing the dog.
“Elizabeth, this Dr. Clark is just too… whatever that is. It was bad enough when she brought her foolish little brother over and made a ss of the house, but now she’s brought a big dog with her. I don’t know what’s gotten into that dog; it won’t stop barking ever since it got to our ho.”
“A dog?”
“Yes! Such a large dog, it’s constantly barking in our ho, I’m worried about the Old Father’s condition. I ntioned this to Dr. Clark, but she scolded , saying that a re servant has no right to question her.”
“Understood, I’ll talk to her.”
Grace Bradford hung up the phone, and her face darkened.
She often dealt with drug-sniffing dogs when she was outside and knew how powerful their noses were. Could it be that Emma Clark was suspecting her?
No matter what, bringing a dog to see her Father was too much. Grace Bradford made a call to Kiara.
“Dr. Clark, I heard from my family that you brought a dog over?”
“Elizabeth Mu, I was just about to talk to you about this. Ah, you know how it is with my family, always so much going on. My brother was just taken away by my mom, and my dog was returned to by soone. Didn’t you see send it away last ti? The dog wouldn’t behave at the new place, and kept causing trouble, so they sent it back to . My husband is really busy with his work, and honestly, I had no choice but to bring over ‘Beautiful Lady’ with .”
“Dr. Clark, I’ve always respected your capabilities, but this matter is really inappropriate. My father needs to rest in peace, and I’ve heard from the servants that your dog is very noisy.”
“‘Beautiful Lady’ was traumatized; its handler was killed right in front of its eyes. It can’t be alone now. I won’t hide it from you, it has caused a lot of trouble. I’m pregnant and it’s inconvenient for to keep it, no one else wants it, I was thinking of putting it down, but then I was told that is knows so kind of secret, and my family must take good care of it.”
“What secret could a dog have?”
“Who knows? My husband also doesn’t understand all these things from higher-up – they all have confidentiality clauses. Anyway, I am truly sorry to have troubled you this ti. Rest assured, I have found it another ho, and next ti it won’t be bothering you.”
After ending the call with Kiara, Grace Bradford thought more and more suspiciously about the dog’s situation. Just as she was pondering, she received a call from Luke Green, her superior.
“Phoenix, you must return to headquarters imdiately. Do not stay in the territory of Celestial Empire any longer.”
“What happened?”
“Our intelligence has learned that the incident you committed at the border last ti is now being thoroughly investigated. It’s no longer safe for you there, you must co back imdiately.”
“I couldn’t have been exposed; I personally finished the target off, and there were no eyewitnesses at the scene!”
“According to the intelligence we have, it seems like they may have sothing on you now. Regardless, you have to co back imdiately!”
Grace Bradford hung up the call and began to analyze these events. Suddenly, she connected all the things Kiara had just told her.
It ca to her that the person she had killed in the last operation seed to have had a military dog with him. She had shot the man from a distance, and that dog had chased her for quite a distance. Could it be that the evidence was on the military dog?
And Kiara had just said her dog’s handler had been killed… In these relatively peaceful tis, if a handler had been sacrificed, it couldn’t be possible that the dia wouldn’t report it – it must have been her own doing.
Could it be such a coincidence?
Grace Bradford continued to speculate whether this was intentional or coincidental, and unknowingly, a silent battle of wits was happening between her and Kiara and her husband’s family.
anwhile, Kiara was sitting at ho, leaning on her small cushion, comfortably sipping the herbal tea Mario Yuno had brewed for her. Her mission was accomplished, and she could now retire successfully.
“I asked a traditional Chinese dicine doctor, and these kinds of herbal teas are also drinkable for pregnant won. Have so to avoid always feeling that your mouth is tasteless,” Mario Yuno said considerately as he handed her the tea.
Kiara sipped lightly.
“How is Arlong doing?”
“After he returned to the squad, he caught up with the assessnt and scored second place, quite a good result. He even ca over to ask if I had used my connections to push back the assessnt by half a month. I scolded him and sent him packing. His own ability got him there, what does it have to do with ? Daughter-in-law, you can finally rest assured now, can’t you?”
