Lold sat up abruptly, his deep eyes filled with caution.
“Who did it?”
Daniel shook his head. “They erased all traces.”
Loid stood up with his hands in his pockets. His expression was cold as he asked, “What did they do?”
“The intruder seemed to notice your laptop had an alarm system. They quickly erased their tracks as soon as they got in. They didn’t have time to get to the files.”
Shaun stood up, pacing back and forth, his expression extremely grave.
“Could it be the people who poisoned you? Are they trying to destroy evidence
Loid narrowed his eyes and ordered, “Strengthen the firewall and spread the news that I’ve been saved.
Upstairs, Lily turned off her laptop and cursed, “Damn it!”
She had sensed something was off as soon as she got the donation agreement from the hospital.
When she checked Loud’s pulse earlier, she found no issue with his heart,
She wasn’t going to foolishly ask Loid since he might not even tell her the truth.
This involved Jason, so she had to investigate it personally
However, she didn’t expect the alarm to go off as soon as she hacked into Loid’s laptop.
She had to erase her tracks and shut down the laptop.
In the afternoon, Shaun, Neil, and Daniel had all left. Only Lold and Lily were left in the house.

“There’s no need for maids. I’m not used to having them around” Lily was accustomed to living alone and didn’t like having people around.
Loid poured two glasses of water and handed one to Lily.
Lily didn’t take it. “Do you have beer?”
Loid tapped the table, and he stayed silent for some time. He then got up and fetched a bottle of beer for Lily. “Drink a little less.”
Lily shot him a look that clearly said, “Mind your own business.”
Lold’s expression shifted slightly, but he said nothing more.
Lily had a bit of a temper. It was best to let her be.
While they were eating, the video intercom at the door rang. Loid answered it, and the security guard appeared on the screen.
“Mr. Laurier, a girl is here to see you. She says she’s your fiancée’s sister.”
Many people in this residential area were important people, so security was tight. No stranger could enter without the host’s permission.
Lold turned to glance at Lily and said, “Let her in.”

Loid intentionally did not wear his mask
Shannon carried a bunch of gifts and food she brought from home.
