However, he was stunned when he saw the email.
Written in the email was a row of text: 'My last name is Smith.'
The evil smile on the man's face immediately disappeared and he cursed softly. "Shit!"
Going by how Q's last name was Smith and their reply at this juncture, the man immediately understood that Q was a Smith!
A Smith...
If Quentin hadn't been injured, hospitalized, or caused such a huge ruckus, outsiders indeed wouldn't have known of his existence at all.
Even so, to think the Smiths were also rearing a top-class hacker in addition to already rearing someone in the shadows!
No wonder Joel hadn't panicked in the least when Yvonne attacked the Smiths!
Who was Q?
The man looked straight at his bodyguards and ordered, "Check Q's identity!"
"Yes, sir."
After one of the bodyguards left, a low chuckle rang out in the room. "Cough, cough, cough... Haha, I told you, don't provoke her."
There was frustration in the little psycho's shrill voice. "Did you already know? Tell me, what else do you know? Are you hiding anything else from me?!"
The gentle and mellow voice sighed. "All I know is, you shouldn't mess with her. I will find a way to get you what you want."
The little psycho immediately yelled, "What can you get from her? The Grays had been taking care of her since her childhood, and also protected her for so many years’ Yet you still haven't gotten your hands on what we want!"
He kicked the chair furiously.
Pushed to the side, the chair made contact with the curtains, causing a ray of light to shine through the curtains onto a man in the room.
With a handkerchief in his hand, the man seemed to be suppressing a cough. He was wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses and his handsome face looked a little pale and sickly—it was Caleb!
He frowned and retorted, "Yvette Anderson had already said back then that we won't be able to get our hands on it through coercive measures! We should try getting along with her daughter instead!"
After he spoke, he walked over and drew the curtains to prevent others from looking in.
The little psycho's grim laugh rang out in the room. "Get along with her? How? You have already been on good terms with her for so many years! If it wasn't for your nephew who messed up and ruined our plan, she would have been part of the Grays by now! And we would have already gotten everything we wanted! Since your plan has failed, you must obey my orders now! Besides, I am the little master!"
Caleb started coughing again. He sounded as if he was about to cough his lungs out the very next second. "Anthony was stupid enough to break off the engagement, but I have already punished him."
The little psycho's shrill voice rang out angrily again. "Punished him? Is driving him out of the country even considered a punishment? It's because you are too indecisive! That's why it has come down to this!"
Upon being scolded, Caleb let out a few muffled coughs with his head down.
Seeing that he had seemingly shut up, the little psycho was satisfied. He broke into a grin, revealing shiny white teeth. "You spent twenty years setting up a trap for them, but got played by Yvette Anderson in the end! You can only rely on me to vent that anger now! Just you wait, I will turn her into my little servant! Heh heh..."
While they were talking, someone knocked on the door.
Caleb immediately stopped talking. It was as if he wasn't there at all.
The little psycho said, "Come in."
The bodyguard entered the room and said, "We've looked into it. The Smiths indeed aren't hiding any more youngsters in the family. Among the ones still around, Louis Smith is the one who messes around with computers the most. We have reason to suspect that he is Q!"
"Heh!"
The little psycho said, "How dare they make fun of me. Catch him!!"
"Yes, sir!"
The bodyguard turned and left.
After Nora logged into Q's email account and sent an email to the little lunatic, as expected, the other party did not reply anymore.
After waiting for a long while, the other party finally sent her a text message on her cell phone: "It's my loss this round! You can ask me what you want! You can only ask one question, so make good use of the opportunity-"
Nora stroked her chin as she stared at the message.
She only had the chance to ask one question. In that case, what should she ask about first?
Why she would die?
Or how exactly had she become pregnant?
She thought for a long while, but in the end, she only asked about one thing: 'What is your name?'
If she couldn't decide which of her questions took more priority, then she might as well ask for information about the other party. This way, it would make it easier for them to catch him!
Sure enough, the other party replied: "Tsk, you are so interested in me. Surely you aren't in love with me, are you?"
Nora: 'Answer the question.'
The little psycho: 'Trueman Yale.'
Nora:"?"
Why did the name sound so strange?
Would anyone really call themselves something as literal as "true man"?
However, she didn't fuss over it. Instead, she quickly sent the name to Morris and told him to check if there was a Trueman in the list of guests staying in the hotel!
Morris quickly replied—there wasn't.
His answer was within Nora's expectations.
She sent the little psycho a message: 'Is this your true name?'
Trueman: "It's even truer than my name itself!"
