Chapter 1199: Chapter 1171: Captured Effortlessly Chapter 1199: Chapter 1171: Captured Effortlessly “If our positions weren’t at odds, I would really appreciate you,” Grace Bradford ‘Grace’ was the first to break the silence.
“If you didn’t have the blood of our people on your hands, I would appreciate you too.”
These two sentences were enough to represent everything.
At that mont, Grace dropped the fact that she had let Kiara fall into the legal net, and Kiara didn’t treat her as a villain.
“It always costs a woman a lot to make her way in the world. Many years ago, I was a blank slate too. I wanted to do a job I liked, have a stable family, support my parents, and educate my children. But things didn’t go as I wished; I gave up an ordinary life and chose this path,” she reflected.
Grace saw herself in Kiara, this girl who was so much like what she had been years ago, smart, wise, knowing exactly what she wanted, possessing abilities beyond ordinary people. Yet, ultimately, the two had chosen different paths, and that ant they would inevitably have different endings.
At this point, Kiara didn’t want to say things like ‘you got what you deserved’ and kick Grace when she was down. Just as Grace said, she might have wronged everyone under heaven, but she did right by Kiara ‘Emma Clark’.
“Elizabeth, did you ask to co here because you have sothing to say to ?”
Hearing Kiara’s question, Grace smiled.
“Why haven’t you tried to sniff out more clues from like the others? Instead, you’re asking if I have any requests. You make it feel like we’re not on opposite sides, but rather friends,” she remarked.
“I’ve always kept things separate when conducting business. You hard our people, I cooperated with my husband to bring you in, and with that, we’re even. Now, I’m here out of respect for our past interactions,” Kiara replied honestly.
Grace nodded, “Then can you guess why I asked you here now?”
“On the way here, I thought about it. Considering your abilities, you could have easily escaped but chose not to. That must be the reason why you asked here,” Kiara deduced.
“I really wasn’t wrong about you, you’re very smart. Yes, you guessed correctly.”
The two won, both remarkably intelligent among their peers, held a conversation that made the observers behind the monitors anxious.
“One! What kind of riddles is your wife playing with her?”
“Can’t you see what’s obvious?” Mario Yuno scanned the room, noting that the IQ of these people was no match for that of Kiara and her husband.
Kiara hadn’t told Mario Yuno the reason for Grace’s summons, but their conversation made Camden understand.
Seeing the others’ confusion, Mario explained.
“Grace has a father with a terminal illness. My wife is providing end-of-life care for him. Grace is worried about leaving her father behind, knowing that if she ran, she certainly couldn’t take her father with her. Even if she could, her father now refuses treatnt from any doctor other than my wife, so she stayed.”
The listeners were incredulous.
“Is she crazy? If our intelligence is accurate, she’s supposed to be the ruthless ‘Fifth generation of Fire Phoenix’ within the Organization, a hard-hearted villainess who doesn’t blink at murder. How could she willingly surrender because of a father who’s already on borrowed ti?”
If it were a healthy father, it would be understandable, but her father was terminally ill. Even if Fire Phoenix surrendered willingly, her father wasn’t going to live much longer. That such a thing could happen to Fire Phoenix, who had so many cases on her hands, was truly inconceivable.
“Even the worst people have their weaknesses; her father is very important to her. Bad people didn’t just pop out of rocks, she has a heart and a liver,” Mario countered.
Mario Yuno’s explanation clearly failed to convince everyone. In their traditional belief, villains were supposed to be ruthless and heartless, but Fire Phoenix was indeed a shock to them all.
“Regardless of why she was caught, One, you better inform your wife to try to extract so valuable information from Fire Phoenix’s mouth,” they suggested.
“One hundred thousand dollars an hour,” Mario Yuno smiled as he looked at Kiara on the screen.
“`
“What hundred thousand?”
“My daughter-in-law has a clear rate, ten thousand for her to make a move for an hour. Of course, even if you paid her, she wouldn’t guarantee that she could definitely draw out sothing valuable.”
“…You’re here to rob us?!” The uncle in the police uniform felt like he had been brutally struck by Mario Yuno.
Mario Yuno gave him a look that said “foolish humans,” then turned towards the monitors and stopped talking.
If his daughter-in-law didn’t want to do sothing, he would never force her, and if others wanted to trouble her, they would have to get past him first.
In the room, the high-IQ conversation between Grace Little Phoenix Bradford and Kiara continued.
“You will continue the treatnt for him, won’t you?” Grace Little Phoenix Bradford asked Kiara.
Kiara nodded.
“You’ve already paid for the dical expenses before, and that money is enough to support Old Father Jackson through his remaining ti.”
“How much longer can my father hold on?”
“At most not more than two months. Although I’ve done my utmost, his organs have failed, and at this stage, to be honest, the presence of a psychologist is only to make his departure less encumbered.”
“It might sound strange coming from , but I still want to ask you, if my father passes away, could you take my place and arrange a proper funeral for him? Could you see to my father’s final resting place?”
“No problem, the remaining dical fees you gave are enough to take care of that.”
“Then I’ll leave it in your hands, Dr. Clark. Forgive for not being able to stand up and bow to you.”
Kiara nodded. She had done what needed to be done and stood up, ready to leave. But as she reached the door, she heard Grace Little Phoenix Bradford say sothing.
“In two months, at the borders of York City, they will have a major operation. That’s all I can say — Dr. Clark, is this ‘dical fee’ enough to pay for the treatnt my father will receive from you going forward?”
“It’s enough.” Kiara turned her head to look at Grace Little Phoenix Bradford, wanting to say sothing but was captivated by the smile on her face.
The people at the monitors were extrely excited. Grace Little Phoenix Bradford had just revealed major information, and those who had been accusing Kiara of inaction were now full of admiration for her. Praise was heard incessantly for a ti.
While everyone was ecstatic, Mario Yuno kept a cool head.
“If she truly is Fire Phoenix, she knows too much, and I imagine they wouldn’t give her up easily over there. In the coming ti, you’ll have to maintain strict control over her, so no one can easily take her away.”
The others took his words lightly.
“One, our departnt is not vegetarians, how could a living person just disappear under our watch?”
“One should never speak so absolutely.” Kiara entered as she pushed the door open.
Seeing her victorious return, everyone rushed to express their gratitude. It was Dr. Clark who effortlessly extracted a significant piece of information.
“Grace Little Phoenix Bradford must be confident enough to leave this place, but it might not happen until after two months. So, during this ti, you must all stay alert.”
The people on the other side exchanged looks, and one of the leaders laughed.
“Are you two telepathic? How co you’re repeating the sa thing your husband said?”
How could this couple be so certain that Fire Phoenix would run?
