Chapter 521

"Oh?" Vivian's smile froze on her lips.

Finn took a step closer. "I heard someone raided the maritime prison to rescue a prisoner and got away unscathed. You must've heard about it, Master?"

Vivian picked up her water glass. "Vaguely."

"Do you know who did it?" Finn pressed.

Her fingers tapped lightly against the rim of the glass.

Dominic's gaze swept over her like a searchlight, studying her microexpressions.

"How would I know?" She took a sip of water.

"But you weren't home the past two days." Finn eyed her suspiciously. In his mind, only his master possessed such skills.

Vivian set down the glass. "Check the hospital overtime records if you don't believe me."

She suddenly realized something. "Wait, why am I explaining myself to you? Since when does a master report her whereabouts to her disciple?"

"I'm just curious!" Finn blinked innocently. "Something this big on the Dark Web must involve you. How could you not include me in such an exciting mission? Am I not your favorite disciple anymore?"

Vivian would never admit it, especially not in front of Dominic.

"Accusations require evidence." She narrowed her eyes. "No proof means it's just slander."

Finn fell silent.

But in his heart, he was certain his master was involved.

Vivian pointed at Finn. "You—bedtime."

Then she turned to Dominic. "And you, what are you still doing in my house this late?"

Dominic chuckled. "It's only nine. Still jet-lagged, Dr. Laurent?"

His X-ray gaze seemed to pierce through her.

Some things were better left unsaid.

Vivian gritted her teeth. "Seems the jet lag belongs to Mr. Atlante. Keep loitering and I might just create some problems for Integrity Group."

"Bring it on." He shrugged. "I've been bored lately."

Vivian ignored them both.

As she turned to leave, she noticed the glass on the coffee table.

"What's that?" She pointed at the orange liquid inside.

Finn's eyes lit up. "My special juice blend! Uncle said it's too sour. Want to try, Master?"

Truthfully, even he found it unpalatable and had been looking for someone to share the misery.

In the spirit of not wasting food, he decided his master should experience it too.
