As the mention of the explosion lingered in the air, a silence fell among the three.

There was no need for words; it was clear Karen had caught on to what Vance had just said.

Karen sat down, her gaze lifting to meet Vance’s. “I’m on board with your idea.”

After years of covert investigation, even if Vivienne had the intention to conceal the truth, how could she have truly kept it from Karen?

Over the years, Karen had scrutinized everyone involved in the “Destruction Plan,” even her follower, Micah.

Friend or foe, every suspect had been cleared.

In the end, the least likely person became a possibility once more.

Micah stepped forward, trying to sway Karen’s thoughts. “Boss, that’s our mentor, our guide through thick and thin!”

“I know.” Karen’s eyes held Micah’s, her words measured and heavy. “For over a decade, I’ve abandoned my daughter, forsaken my comrades, lived under aliases, too afraid to show my face. It wasn’t to end up doubting my mentor at the final hour.”

Micah’s gaze shook with the gravity of her words. When Karen spoke with such conviction, he knew there was no turning back.

Next door, Vivienne watched the monitors with a somber expression. When she saw the fleeting pain cross Karen’s face, her heart twisted in empathy.

Percival wrapped an arm around Vivienne’s shoulders, squeezing gently. “We couldn’t have kept this from her forever. She was bound to find out sooner or later.”

Vivienne nodded. “Yeah, my mom’s tough. But Micah, he’s going to have a hard time swallowing this pill.”

Percival’s lips quirked in a wry smile. “He’ll come around. Master’s sidekick isn’t that fragile.”

Exchanging a knowing look, Percival and Vivienne shared a light chuckle before turning their attention back to the surveillance screens.
