Chapter 258 Leaving with Evidence Dorinda couldn't help but laugh at Aiden's expression.
"Logically speaking, if anyone's at a disadvantage here, shouldn't it be me? Why are you the one acting shy?" Dorinda walked over and hooked her finger under Aiden's chin, raising an eyebrow.
Aiden quickly shook off her hand and took a cautious step back.
"Didn't you say you needed my help? Why didn't you letleave last night? Were you trying to trick me? Getto spill something?" "Are you stupid or what?" Dorinda rolled her eyes and tossed all the evidence to him, then pulled out a recording.
The sounds of heavy breathing in the recording made Aiden's face turn red instantly.
"Turn it off! Turn it off now!" Aiden couldn't bear to listen any longer, his face growing hotter by the second.
"If you had left that night, people here would have been suspicious. I kept you here for your own good. This recording is to prove you were actually with me. Otherwise, do you think they'd let you leave so easily?" Hearing Dorinda's explanation, Aiden realized he had misunderstood her.
"Sorry, I didn't know... Why didn't you telllast night? I could have cooperated." Dorinda shook her head and asked Aiden a question.
"Are you sure you could have cooperated with something like this?" She was referring to the content of the recording.
As soon as she said it, Aiden fell silent.
He really couldn't have done it.
That was why Dorinda had put a sleeping pill in his drink, so he wouldn't feel awkward or mess up.

"Anyway, thank you." Aiden apologized, his face still red, avoiding Dorinda's eyes.
"We're partners now. I just hope you keep your promise. You can leave now, but remember to wear your mask. Next twe meet, I hope I can leave this place." "I will." Aiden assured Dorinda before leaving.
Dorinda watched him go, her eyes slowly dimming.
She wasn't sure if this would work. She wondered if she had been too impulsive, handing over all the evidence to one person.
After all these years here, she still hadn't learned to be cold-hearted.
If Aiden couldn't do anything, all the evidence she had gathered would be useless.
But when she looked into Aiden's eyes, she felt he could be trusted.
His eyes seemed to speak, so clear and honest.
That was why Dorinda was willing to give him the evidence, hoping he wouldn't let her down.
Aiden left the underground place and took a cab back to the estate.
He ran into Ulysses in the yard.
Ulysses had been planning to look for Aiden, worried since he hadn't cback all night.
"Aiden, you don't look so good. Did something happen?" Ulysses hurried over to support Aiden.
Aiden shook his head, and they quickly walked into the living room.
He told Ulysses everything that had happened, including meeting Dorinda.
But Ulysses focused on something else, a smile playing on his lips.

"We... we had no choice... Besides, this isn't the tto talk about that. We need to get this evidence out and save those people." Aiden was eager to rescue Dorinda and was about to leave with the evidence.
Ulysses quickly stopped him.
"It's not going to be that easy." Aiden frowned, puzzled. "Did something else happen?" "A high-ranking official has been bribed... Our evidence won't be handed over so easily.
If we take it to the police now, it could be intercepted before it reaches the international authorities. All our efforts would be in vain. And we could be exposed. We need to be careful. Letgo out and test the waters first. Once it's safe, we'll hand over the evidence." Ulysses' caution was justified. To take down Global Nexus Corporation, they couldn't afford any mistakes. The underground place was their first target, and they couldn't cause more trouble for Tiffany and the others. "Alright, I understand. I'll go back tonight and see if I can find more evidence." "Isn't that too risky?" Ulysses looked at him worriedly.
Perry's pass was missing, and he would definitely investigate. They might trace it back to Aiden.
"It won't be. I noticed that everyone going to the underground place has identical passes, and there are a lot of people every night. They won't notice me." "Okay, if you get the chance, see if you can reach their control room. It controls the entire underground place's power. If you cause a blackout, it might create chaos, giving you a chance to find more information." Ulysses gave his instructions, and Aiden noted them down, ready to go back that night. Global Nexus Corporation.

But she thought about it and realized m Leon never did things like this at home. Tiffany didn't dwell on it. She ate breakfast, washed up, and cout.
Leon was sitting properly on the couch, reading a newspaper.
His behavior was robotic, expressionless, and stiff.
Hearing movement behind him, Leon turned to look at Tiffany.
"How was breakfast?" Leon asked.
"So it was you who made breakfast?" Tiffany's eyes showed a hint of surprise as she walked over.
"Of course, I have that directive." Tiffany laughed at Leon's response.
It seemed Leon was really embracing his robot identity.
"Can I give you a directive?" "What directive?" "Makea cup of coffee," Tiffany said with a smile.
She was joking and didn't expect Leon to actually make coffee.
But Leon put down the newspaper and stood up.
"I'll go to the break room and make you a coffee." Tiffany was puzzled.
What had gotten into Leon? Had he changed?
