The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 656

Vivienne nodded in agreement. "It's puzzling. Why did F-Poison tell Flynn about my mom being taken? Was there anything else he mentioned?"

"Alright, I'll take care of it," Percival replied before dialing up Thomas.

Soon, Thomas had arranged for Karen to visit Flynn.

"Percival, there's another thing - Gillian's back."

Percival furrowed his brow. "She's back already?"

"Yeah, the higher-ups say the surveillance footage involving Gillian doesn't prove much. They're calling it a professional mishap, gave her a mark on her record, and she's back."

Hearing this, Percival almost crushed his phone in frustration.

Hundreds were injured, Soren and Astrid were still unconscious, and Leopold and Anna were unable to walk without stitches.

Just a professional mishap?

Through the phone, Thomas could feel Percival's anger but continued, "However, Vance has stripped Gillian of her authority. She shouldn't be causing trouble anymore, or at least, she's lost the capacity to do so."

Percival took a breath. "Fine, I got it."

Karen went to the secret prison alone, while Vivienne stayed with Percival at the YQ Research Center.

Vivienne had a new idea she wanted to try out.

Inside the prison, the darkness was as oppressive as ever.

Through the monitor, Karen saw Scott grading papers while Flynn was still curled up in pain on the floor.

After a thorough check, Karen walked in.

"Boss, be careful. I'll wait outside for you," Thomas stood guard at the door.

Although nothing should happen, Thomas was still worried. After all, who could feel secure with the current state of Vanguard Agency?

Karen nodded and entered.

By now, Flynn had regained his composure, his clothes soaked with sweat, as he sat blankly on the ground.

Seeing Karen enter, Flynn was startled, then let out a laugh.

Karen narrowed her eyes. "Long time no see."

Flynn's laughter stopped. "We haven't met before, have we? I've seen your daughter many times, though. She used to call me 'Uncle Flynn.' I wonder what she calls me now."

"Criminal." Karen sat down, a faint smile on her face.

Flynn took a deep breath. "You're here to ask about my mentor, aren't you? I heard there were quite a few interesting stories when he took you away. Do you remember any of them?"

Karen's voice was cool and detached. "I don't remember. Care to enlighten me?"

Flynn stood up and walked to the bars, sizing Karen up, an unreadable look in his eyes.

"Girls change a lot as they grow. I'm curious to see what Vivienne will look like when she's your age."

Karen suddenly stood, a strange feeling stirring deep within her, yet she couldn't put her finger on it.

The statement felt familiar, yet she couldn't recall why.

Flynn ignored Karen's surprise and lay back on his bed.
