Blake absentmindedly scratched his ear as he spoke.
Emmanuel then noticed that at the other end of the corridor, two bodyguards were tied up on the ground with their mouths taped
shut. They were likely the bodyguards who had originally been guarding this room, but Blake had taken care of them.
“Is Magnus inside?” Emmanuel asked directly, his eyes filled with determination.
“Who knows?” Blake shrugged and replied, “Maybe he’s already gone.”
“So, you stopped me at this moment because you want to fight with me here?” Emmanuel questioned.
“No, no, no!” Blake quickly waved his hand and said, “I don’t want to fight with you. If possible, can’t we just have a chat? Maybe
I can tell you something interesting.”
“Then go ahead, but if your next sentence doesn’t interest me, I’ll just barge in,” Emmanuel said coldly.
“In that case, I must tell you something shocking.” Blake took out a lump of earwax, casually wiped it on his pants, and grinned.
“Your cousin’s son is actually not his biological son. Do you want to guess who his biological father is?”
Emmanuel was indeed stunned.
Abellyn had mentioned this to his cousin, but at that time, Mackenzie had reminded him not to pursue the truth, regardless of
whether Abellyn was telling the truth or not.
If it was Abellyn who said this, Emmanuel would definitely ignore it, but how could this unattractive man know about it?
Moreover, he seemed to know who Tommy’s biological father was.
“Interested, aren’t you?” Blake saw Emmanuel’s reaction and said triumphantly.
“No, I’m not interested.” Emmanuel chuckled, “Are you Tommy’s father?”
Now, it was Blake’s turn to be stunned. Surprised, he said, “How do you know it’s me? Who told you?”
“You’re really good at acting.” Emmanuel continued to smile, “But you can’t fool me, and this topic doesn’t interest me either.”
The words Mackenzie had said echoed in his mind once again.
As long as he didn’t seek the truth, his cousin would be Tommy’s father.
This was also the theory of Schrödinger’s cat.
After saying that, Emmanuel knocked on the door directly.
Blake hadn’t expected that this topic wouldn’t interest Emmanuel either. He could only sigh and reluctantly prepare to engage
with Emmanuel.
Fortunately, his phone rang just in time with a message notification.
After glancing at it, Blake smiled and turned around to leave.
09:41 Fri, 5 Jan
Emmanuel had been observing him out of the corner of his eye, and he had already guessed that Magnus must have already
left.
Sure enough, after the automatic door opened, Emmanuel walked into the room and found that there was no one inside.
It seemed that Magnus had left through another door.
In the next moment, a voice from the bathroom said, “Is that you, Mr. Lowe?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
Following the direction of the voice, Emmanuel looked through the glass and saw a graceful figure bathing inside.
The design of the room created an atmosphere that allowed people outside the bathroom to almost see the person bathing
inside.
If it were any other man, he would have instantly become tense and excited in this situation. After all, that person was the
enchanting Felicia, but Emmanuel didn’t feel that way.
He had a strange feeling that the figure inside was somewhat familiar, but it seemed impossible.
He had only met Felicia for the first time tonight, so how could he be familiar with her?
“Mr. Lowe, please wait a moment. I will be ready soon.

“No rush,” Emmanuel casually replied and began to carefully observe the room.
First, he checked if Magnus had really left.
Second, he looked for any other potential ambushes in the room.
Even without Blake’s reminder, he knew that Felicia was not someone to be taken lightly. There was a high possibility that she
was the Saintess, but why did she change her mind and invite him instead of Nathan?

In the next moment, the bathroom door opened.
A captivating fragrance filled the air.
Emmanuel quickly looked toward the bathroom, curious to see what this enchanting woman looked like and whether she was the
woman he had speculated her to be.
However, when he saw Felicia’s face, he was stunned.
The feeling was similar to when he first saw Mackenzie, and even when he saw Hattie, he wasn’t captivated like this.
This woman was beautiful, but she wasn’t anyone he knew.
