Chapter 949

Mia suddenly remembered something, nervously twisting her fingers. "Vivian, that person also asked me about your secrets. I didn't know what to say, so I mentioned your pregnancy. His reaction... was strange."

"Shocked?" Vivian narrowed her eyes.

That reaction said everything. It couldn't be Dominic.

Dominic already knew about her pregnancy and had obtained her address from Finn. He wouldn't go through such elaborate measures.

"Dominic is ruled out," Vivian stated firmly.

Ethan raised an eyebrow. "So sure?"

His tone carried clear displeasure. Why did this woman always defend Dominic?

"He knew about my pregnancy," Vivian said bluntly.

Ethan's expression darkened instantly. "Dominic knew?"

The whole world knew except him—the actual father.

"Now isn't the time for this," Vivian quickly analyzed. "Based on the timeline, the person acted after I returned from Eudora. This place is well-hidden. The only way they could've found it—"

"—is by following you," Ethan finished, his gaze turning icy.

"I was in Eudora, not Canada. That means this person was also in Eudora." Vivian's voice lowered. "They must know what happened there. Even if they weren't the mastermind, they're involved."

Ethan stood. "Investigate Liam's movements in Eudora. No disguise is perfect."

He turned to retrieve files. Vivian remained seated, her fingertips cold.

If it really was Liam...

She had always considered him a life-and-death ally. Ethan had warned her repeatedly about Liam's danger, yet she chose to trust him.

When had things changed?

Was it after she rescued Liam and they disagreed? Or when he relentlessly pursued her after she left the organization?

A more terrifying thought surfaced: What if Liam had known about her existence from the start? What if that so-called rescue was just a trap to draw her out?

And if she traced it further back... the car accident four years ago—could that also have been...?

Vivian abruptly cut off her thoughts. These were just speculations without proof.

She suddenly realized she might never have truly understood Liam.

She saw him as a close friend. But what had he seen her as?

Annika was Liam's protégé. Could Liam truly have been unaware of her actions?

Or was it not ignorance... but his control all along?

A cold sweat broke out on Vivian's back. The human heart was more terrifying than any devil.

Especially Liam—the current director of DarkKingdom, ranked first on the Dark Web's agent leaderboard. The most infamous and ruthless top agent.
