Chapter 581:


    However, what caught her off-guard was Ynda’s demeanor.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    There was none of her usual fragility to be found.


    The pieces clicked into ce in Alicia’s mind.


    “You’ve been faking your illness all along, haven’t you?”


    Ynda’s lips curled in a sneer.


    Her frail act wasn’t a lie, just a tactic.


    She had simply stopped taking her medication.


    Looking weak and helpless was her best weapon for keeping Dorian’s unwavering indulgence.


    But she had no intention of sharing that with Alicia.


    Instead, she warned, “Enjoy your sess while itsts, Alicia.


    The higher you climb, the harder you will fall.


    I’ll be waiting for the day you make a fool of yourself.”


    Alicia said nothing, her face an unreadable mask as she returned to the tech room to continue her work.


    She thought it over, a sly grin ying on her lips as a devious n began to form.


    When Alicia stepped out again, she noticed Ynda lingering nearby.


    Opting for caution, Alicia quietly made her way to the restroom.


    Yet, Ynda spotted her in passing and felt a spark of suspicion flicker to life.


    Therefore, she decided to follow her.


    Meanwhile, Alicia was in the restroom alone.


    Ynda could hear Alicia making a hushed phone call through the door.


    “Can you help me remotely now?” Alicia’s tone was low, almost honeyed.


    “This is way moreplicated than I thought.


    I figured Corey called me in just to record some audio, but it turns out this chip has major issues.


    I’ve been sitting here for hours and have barely made progress.


    If Corey finds out I’m stuck, he will never let me off.”


    There was a pause before she sighed.


    “What? You can’t help either? Then what am I supposed to do? There’s no way I would turn to Ynda for assistance.”


    Outside the door, Ynda chuckled triumphantly, a sly grin spreading across her face.


    She had correctly deduced Alicia’s inexperience.


    How could a novice possibly work on such aplex chip? When Alicia finally emerged, she caught a glimpse of Ynda’s shadow slipping around the corner.


    Alicia smiled softly to herself, then calmly washed her hands.


    It took her over three hours toplete her work.


    When she came out of the tech room, she asked, “Have you released ke?”


    Corey responded, “Of course.


    The undercover captain who came with you has already taken him away.”
