Penny dropped her hand to her side, her phone still gripped tightly. Her brows furrowed slightly as she stood motionless after the brief phone call with Hugo.

Walking back to her room, she quickly spotted Zoren.

"Second Brother and Mint might've found something out about the baby swap," she whispered, making his brows rise. "I need to catch Nina's mother to confirm it, but..."

"I got it." Before she could even finish, Zoren nodded. "I'll ask my men to track her down."

Penny pressed her lips into a thin line, appreciation swelling in her chest. After all, she was already juggling the task of concocting an antidote on top of running her own company. She might've been strategic most of the time, but she was only human.

A subtle smile formed on his lips, and he hugged her back gently. "I'm glad you're asking me for help."
