Quennel looked at the man before him. His attitude was haughty and arrogant, but Quennel knew he had the skills to back it up.


    "Your request on the phone was simple enough. You want to rece her man with you, to alter her memories. That''s child''s y for me. All you have to do is arrange a meeting with her."


    The man, Marcus Hale, sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. Seeing Quennel''s apparent disbelief, he let out a shortugh.


    "You came to me, so you should know I''ve never failed a job. If you really don''t trust me, we don''t have to work together. I''ll give you a full refund of your deposit."


    Quennel saw his cavalier attitude toward money and was even more convinced that his arrogance was born from genuine ability.


    "It''s not that I don''t believe in your skills. It''s just my first time dealing with something like this, so I''m naturally a little concerned. I just need to get her here, put this into her drink as you said, and once she''s unconscious, you''ll handle the rest, correct?"


    Quennel nced at the small vial of clear liquid on the table, the one Hale had given him earlier.


    When he''d first received it, he had it tested by ab. The results showed it was just a simple sedative, with no other suspiciousponents.


    "Yes, leave the rest to me. You can watch from the side, don''t worry. She''ll just take a nap, and when she wakes up, her memories will be exactly as you want them. It''s simple, and there are no dangerous substances involved."


    Hearing his repeated promises and guarantees, Quennel nodded.


    "Alright. I''ll arrange a meeting with her in the next couple of days. The rest will be up to you, Mr. Hale. After it''s done, not only will I pay the remaining bnce, but I''ll also give you a generous bonus. I trust you''ll maintain your professional discretion and not let this get out."


    The mention of an extra bonus made Marcus Hale''s face light up with a grin.


    "Rest assured In my line of work, we know that client confidentiality is more important than life itself. We would never leak anything. Of


    course when you meet with bol ne


    alone, you should also try to ensure no one else knows, to avoid any unnecessaryplications."


    "You can count on it."


    Now that everything was settled, he had to start preparing immediately.


    Quennel stood up, bid farewell to


    Hale, and left the vi,


    heading home to figure out heel


    get Hannah to meet him to


    alone.


    After all, Hannah was already


    suspicious of him. Getting her t


    meet him wouldn''t be as easy as before it would be somewhat difficult.


    He needed to n this carefully. Plus, she always had those two shadows with her


    now. He''d have to be wary of them as well.


    That evening, just as Hannah finished up with work, she received a text from Quennel.


    He said he wanted to meet and talk about something concerning Lionel.


    He imed that Lionel had somehow gotten his hands on some evidence that, if presented in court, could prevent their divorce.
