Chapter 3142


    Charlie''s expression stiffened momentarily but soon returned to normal. Both understood each other''s


    thoughts and thus didn''t delve further into conversation.


    "How have things been on your endtely?" Charlie asked Patricia.


    "Pretty smooth, overall," Patricia responded. "Did you call me over tonight because you found


    something?" "Yes," Charlie said, pointing toward a restaurant not far ahead. "Our person is in there."


    Patricia frowned slightly, "Are you sure he arranged to meet Doretta?" "Yes, Doretta is definitely


    showing up tonight," Charlie said, his gaze fixed on the restaurant.


    After a short wait, Doretta finally appeared.


    "She actually showed up," Patricia remarked, her tone slightly icy.


    "Doretta is starting at BayCorp tomorrow. Everett must have assigned her a task, probably rted to


    thepany''s project. Are you guys prepared to counter it?" Charlie asked.


    "Yes," Patricia replied, a faint smile ying on her lips as she thought about Er''s n.


    Seeing Patricia''s smile, Charlie''s eyes narrowed slightly. ''It''s unusual for Patricia to smile during a


    mission. What''s different today?’


    Realizing Charlie had noticed her reaction, Patricia coughed awkwardly and then returned to her usual


    self, saying, ''Til get closer for a better look." "Go ahead," Charlie whispered. "I''ll keep watch outside."


    "Okay," Patricia murmured, swiftly moving to a hidden spot where she quickly disguised herself.


    After the disguise, Patricia looked entirely different, making it impossible for anyone to recognize her.


    Once she was sure everything was set, Patricia entered the restaurant.


    She chose a seat near Doretta, positioning herself with her back to her so she could hear Doretta and


    herpanion without being seen. This positioning made it hard for Doretta to see Patricia''s face.


    She overheard the man on the other side lower his voice, asking, "Will they notice?" "Everyone at the


    Riddle residence is asleep. I got out through the window; no one will notice," Doretta replied.


    The man appeared surprised by Doretta''s response, giving her a look that conveyed doubt about her


    ability to escape without injury, given herck of physical strength.


    "Don''t you know about sheets?" Doretta shot back, implying that she had used sheets to help her


    descend and was aware of the skepticism surrounding her escape.


    After listening to Doretta''s exnation, the man appeared convinced and nodded. "As long as you


    weren''t discovered, that''s good." "Has your boss agreed to my request?" Doretta quickly asked, cutting

    to the chase and showing no interest in further idle talk.


    "I''ve asked, and he agreed. BayCorp will be under your management in the future," the man replied.


    Doretta seemed pleased, her voice carrying a hint of triumph as she said," Rest assured, I will deliver


    what you want in perfect condition." "That''s best. Otherwise, you''ll know the consequences of deceiving


    him or letting him down," the man said before standing up and leaving.


    Patricia sensed the person was leaving. Her gaze darkened slightly as she realized Doretta''s goal.


    The "boss" mentioned must be Everett, and the object of desire naturally rted to the project Patricia


    was involved in. What surprised Patricia was the scale of Doretta''s ambition.


    After Nicole''s warning that morning, Patricia was already surprised, but hearing it firsthand deepened


    her understanding of why Doretta agreed to cooperate with them.


    So, It was likely that Doretta was not forced to team up with Everett''s side because of threats, but


    simply because they could fulfill her ambitions.
