moment with him.

In the middle of the night. Elvira suddenly received a call. After he had hidden away Vivian, she had also assigned bodyguards to protect Morris. The call was from one of Morriss guards, reporting that someone had tried to capture him.

Elvira immediately realized that the person controlling Vivian I started to act. That man couldn't find Vivian, so he had turned to Morris instead.

After all, Morris had previously refused to sign the contract but had suddenly agreed recently, which would obviously raise suspicion. Coupled with Vivian's disappearance, the connection was easy to make.

"How is Morris now?" Elvira asked the bodyguard.

The bodyguard replied truthfully, "He was frightened and sustained some minor injuries. We managed to get him out safely, and he's now at the hospital."

After being woken by the call, Zach sat up and listened to Elvira on the phone.

Elvira decided to go to the hospital to check on Morris. He was a crucial part of her plan, and nothing could go wrong.

"Do you need me to step in?" Zach asked, watching her.

Elvira turned and kissed him lightly on the lips, reassuring him, "It's just a small matter. I can handle it myself. Just go back to sleep. I'll bring you breakfast when I return."

"How can I sleep when my wife is running out in the middle of the night? I'll go with you," Zach said, unwilling to let her go alone.

"The bodyguards are with me. It's fine," Elvira said, not wanting him to tire himself out.
