Ruth Upperton coldly scoffed, "Ha, they're all hiding outside, too scared to come back and see me, fearing that I'd question why they haven't caught Isabella Lindsey yet!"
"..." Bertha Marley lowered her head, remained silent for a while, and after Ruth calmed down, she asked again, "Grandma, have you noticed that Lude seems a bit different compared to before?"
"Yes, more obedient, more sensible, and more mature than before."
Ruth Upperton smiled contentedly, "And he will help me bring Isabella back! He used to call her sister-in-law!"
"..." Bertha Marley was speechless again.
In Ruth Upperton's heart, she's already seen Lude as a precious grandson, unable to notice even a hint of his flaws, let alone his sinister changes.
Bertha Marley was certain that his ambition of becoming the Team Leader went beyond capturing Isabella, it was absolutely sinister!

Lying in bed, she felt a wave of tension...
