...faded look? She hasn't offended you!"
"I despise Liam O'Connor, who intruded into our lives, and I despise Emily Thompson, who chose him over you. Brother, you remember, don't you? I never directly greeted her, never spoke a single word to her, did I? I always saw how much pain she caused you! The you I know only sacrifices for others, only considers other people's feelings. Brother, why don't you be selfish for once? Wouldn't that be better?"
Noah Harrison sighed, turning to Fiona Taylor. "Stop, Fiona. I never blamed Emily, not once. Although I genuinely loved her, I wouldn't resent her just because she chose Liam. If that were the case, my love would be too shallow."
Fiona Taylor looked at Noah Harrison's earnest expression, unsure what to say. At that moment, the elevator doors opened.
After Emily left the building, she went to the community garden, chose a bench, sat down, and dialed a number on her phone, holding it to her ear. A moment later, she spoke: "Chairman Anderson? I hope I haven't disturbed you. Adam has fully lived up to your expectations this time. I'm delighted to see your son's progress! However, he still hasn't deciphered that code. Do you have any hints? I could pass them on to him!"
The voice on the other end of the line replied, "No need. I believe he'll figure it out soon; that boy has immense potential. You just need to report his progress to me. Oh, and did you run out of the money I transferred to your account last time?"
"We heard every word you just said. Now, I declare, you are under arrest."
The moment the handcuffs clicked on Emily's wrists, she turned to Adam beside her. "You'll regret this! You'll go to hell for doing something so unforgivable!"
"I know," Adam replied calmly. "I am an unforgivable sinner. Even knowing that, I still had to do it. I still had to do this."
Then, James Foster turned to Adam. "We've actually been investigating Anderson Matthews' illegal activities for a long time, but we never expected you to provide us with such a lead. In any case, thank you for the information."
"I merely did what I had to do."
Next, it was time to arrest his father, wasn't it?
