Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 977:

Derek sneered.

“It’s you who can’t see the bigger picture, Foley. Don’t judge me based on your limited understanding. If you keep this up, you’ll be the one with regrets.”

Foley’s expression turned sour. He silently sized Derek up once more before turning to leave.

He thought Derek was merely bluffing out of instinct. However, Derek’s resolute look left him feeling uneasy and slightly worried.

As Derek watched Foley depart, his outward confidence faded. He had appeared bold in front of Foley, but now he felt utterly drained.

He was unsure about successfully establishing a connection with Black Mallow. Despite his bold claims before Foley, he knew he had to succeed or face severe repercussions.

With his thoughts in order, Derek left the hospital alone. He discreetly hailed a cab to head to the Blebert branch of the Doomsday Base.

He was aware that the chief instructor seldom visited this branch, and he might not even get to see her or obtain any information about her. Yet, he was determined to try his luck.noveldrama

No one cared about what Derek was up to, including Foley, who looked down on him and considered everything he did trivial and unworthy of attention.

After their heated exchange, Foley left to find Chloe.

Previously, he had always kept his distance from Chloe to avoid upsetting Della or causing any misunderstandings. He had kept interactions with Chloe polite and public, never approaching her privately.

But now, he approached Chloe, having discussed this move with his wife.

When he reached the hospital entrance and saw Chloe on the phone, he paused at a short distance. He overheard her instructing Marissa’s family to go to the Nash family’s villa with certain materials and explaining her plans.

Chloe usually appeared elegant and kind, but at that moment, she was cold. Her voice carried an arrogant tone, and her words were harsh—a stark contrast to her usual demeanor. To an outsider, she would seem like a completely different person.

Foley stood silently, not interrupting. He watched Chloe with a sarcastic smile, aware of the stark difference in her behavior.

While others might not see how manipulative she was, Foley knew. He had long recognized her true nature but had kept it to himself.

When Chloe ended her call and put away her phone, Foley shifted his expression into a warm one and approached her.

“Chloe.”

Having just hung up, Chloe was deep in thought, her expression intense and her eyes narrowed. She jumped slightly at the unexpected voice and quickly turned to find Foley.
