her behaving so foolishly, failing to consider the situation carefully.

Chapter 319

Mila drew in a deep breath, silently coaxing herself not to succumb to anger toward Loretta. After all, she had been misled by the deceitful Sally, so blaming her wouldn’t resolve anything.

Zach simmered with restrained fury, fixing a piercing, gaze on Loretta, “You…”

After enduring Oliver and Sally’s relentless pressure, he couldn’t bear to be pushed to the brink of madness by his irrational wife, Loretta.

It became clear to him why Mila hesitated to reveal the truth to her. With Loretta’s irrational behavior, disclosing it would be futile.

Loretta leveled a warning finger at Mila. “Whether it’s Zach or Oliver, don’t indulge in illusions. Allowing you to stay here is already the extent of my patience for your kind.”

Mila offered a helpless smile. “Please don’t get upset, Madam Hoffis. It won’t happen. Let’s

Cat.”

Loretta snorted and resumed eating.

Sally regarded Mila with a pensive frown. “Hey, did you truly cut all ties with Nate?” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Completely,” Mila affirmed.

Sally probed further, “Then why did he agree to marry me, then suddenly change his mind? If not because of you, then what?”

Phoebe muttered under her breath while eating, “Apart from wealth, you possess no value. Mr. Morrison isn’t blind. Why would he be drawn to you?”

Sally’s face flushed with rage at the comment, and she impulsively grabbed a spoon, hurling it toward Phoebe.

Phoebe swiftly dodged the incoming spoon with remarkable agility, leaving everyone in awe of her quick reflexes. Pounding the table in fury, she prepared to confront Sally, her aggressive stance catching Sally off guard.

Hastily, Mila restrained Phoebe, signaling for her not to act impulsively.

Throughout the meal, Oliver remained silent but observant, his inscrutable gaze fixed on Mila. Mila, too, sensed his growing suspicion toward her.

Zach’s stern interjection broke the tension, urging everyone to focus on their meal rather than engaging in further conversation.

The dinner, which resembled a battleground, finally concluded with great difficulty.

As the night grew quiet, Phoebe stealthily climbed onto the window ledge outside Sally’s.

Oliver strode into Sally’s room and swiftly locked the door behind him. Without a word, he delivered a resounding slap across her face.

“You’re so stupid. I don’t understand why the organization chose someone as dim–witted as you.”

Sally retorted, “How dare you hit me? Is this because of Suzanne?”

Oliver issued a stern warning. “Let me be clear. Your primary task now is to find Mila, not Nathan.”

“It’s your responsibility to find Mila. The organization sent me here primarily to get close to Nathan and steal more secrets from Norvania.”

“Just you? You’ll never get close to Nathan in this lifetime.”

Sally’s expression soured. “Just wait and see. In two months, I’ll not only marry Nathan but also carry his child.”

Oliver sneered, dismissing her with disdain.

Phoebe gasped in shock as she slowly backed away, eventually slipping onto the spacious rooftop. She then made her way to Mila’s room.

Mila had just settled into bed when she detected some movement, prompting her to quickly sit up. She spotted Phoebe sneaking in from the balcony and securely closing the glass door behind her.

“What’s going on?” Mila asked, puzzled.

Climbing onto Mila’s bed, Phoebe leaned in close, muffling her voice with her hand as she whispered, “Mila, I’ve been keeping watch for a while, and I’ve finally acquired some crucial information.”

“What information?”

“Oliver and Sally are part of an organization. They’ve tasked Oliver with finding you, while Sally’s mission is to

get close to General Morrison and steal secrets from Norvania.”

Mila’s expression darkened, her body tensing at the revelation. Despite her suspicions, hearing such words still evoked anger and shock.

Phoebe murmured, “I couldn’t make out the name of the organization.”

Recalling the information Nathan had uncovered while delving into Suzanne’s identity, Mila spoke slowly, “It’s the Dark Shadows Society.”

Phoebe was stunned, her eyes widening and mouth agape. “What? The Dark Shadows?”

Mila nodded.

Excitedly, Phoebe covered her mouth as she whispered, “Could your parents be held captive by them?”

Mila sighed. “I finally have some leads after searching for so long.”

“How can we locate their hideout?” Phoebe asked.

Mila replied, “We need to capture the intermediary connecting Sally and Oliver, and we’ll uncover the location of their headquarters.”
