“Well? What is it you want to ask me?”

The female voice on the other end of the phone enunciated, “It’s about Winnie Garland. How is she now? Have you finished her off?”
“Well? What is it you want to ask me?”

The female voice on the other end of the phone enunciated, “It’s about Winnie Garland. How is she now? Have you finished her off?”

“No.” While answering that question, David cast a surreptitious glance in Winnie’s direction.

At the same time, Winnie had also perked up her ears upon hearing her name.

Then, David continued, “She isn’t dead, but she will be soon. She inhaled a bottle of radioactive gas and passed out. I don’t think she’ll be able to survive, but even if she does, the rest of her life will probably be hell.”

“Really? If you’re not lying to me, this is truly great news.” The female voice on the other end of the phone chortled gleefully.

At once, a frown marred David’s countenance. “What do you mean by that? Why would I lie to you?”

“Calm down. That was just a casual remark. Just hide and wait for me to save you.”

After saying that, the person hung up right away.

Shrugging, David said to James, “She didn’t reveal her current location at all.”

James dipped his head a fraction in acknowledgment before turning to Winnie. “Do you know of any woman Harold once had who holds a grudge against you?”

“No,” Winnie denied firmly. “He’s been intimate with countless women, that’s for sure, but then I’ve never heard of him collaborating with any of them. Besides, the female voice on the phone earlier sounded unnatural to me. It’s highly likely that the person used a voice modulator.”

James nodded. “That’s indeed a possibility.”

After he said that, he asked Greta, “Did you record the conversation just now?”

“Yeah. I’ll take it back to the team for analysis later.”

“Okay. Make it fast.”
