NovelFinishChapter 742:
Allison's eyes flickered with unexpected excitement, though she kept her tone light. “Alright, see you at seven
then, Mr. Shaw.” She couldn't help but suspect this was more of an excuse than a genuine reason. What could he
possibly need from a house that had clearly been unused for ages?
With the documents sorted, Allison decided it was best to make herself scarce. She got up and approached the
office door, only to feel Verruckt’s gaze land on her, sharp and unyielding like he had a sixth sense for her
movements.
“Mr. Shaw, | was just thinking of going out for a cup of coffee,” Allison said, her voice casual, though her mind
raced to cup with an excuse. She couldn't figure out what was going through his unpredictable mind.
Verruckt’s eyes, sharp and penetrating, lifted from his desk to meet hers, as though he could see right through

She stepped into the hallway, glancing over her shoulder. Thankfully, it seemed the chaos from the first floor

whispered, “Do | have something on my face?”
Judith Walker flinched, startled, and immediately shook her head. “No... nothing at all,” she said hastily, then
turned away, trying to hide her curiosity.
Allison raised an eyebrow, unconvinced. “Judith, you were clearly staring atearlier. Is there something you
want to ask?” She smiled knowingly, as if saying, “If you don’t ask now, you'll miss your chance.”
Judith hesitated, glancing nervously toward Verruckt’s office before blurting out, “Did you really save Mr. Shaw
last night?” The question caught Allison off guard. She tilted her head, pretending to consider her answer before
nodding.
“I happened to be passing by. He was bleeding heavily, so | stepped in and helped.”
