Hearing those words, Carter instinctively opened his mouth to argue, only for the words to die in his throat.
Recently, he had already begun suspecting that one of his own staff members was a mole.
Under normal circumstances, he would never have allowed his subordinates to hear such a discussion, because exposing his thoughts would only corner him further.
However, now that he was alone with Silas, the man's passive-aggressive pressure had already forced him into an uncomfortable position.
After thinking for a long moment, Carter finally exhaled slowly.
"I cannot argue against your reasoning. Since that is the case, here is my proposal. Choose any subordinate's house you want. I will not interfere, but it definitely cannot be mine."
The moment those words left his mouth, Silas's smile deepened slightly.
"Then how about Lina's place?"
For a brief second, Carter completely froze.
His pupils contracted ever so slightly as suspicion surged through his mind.
