"Why? Surprised? No one can stopwhen I put my mind to something." The voice sounded sinister, with a hint of triumph. "It's faster than I imagined, but you couldn't win even in Nocturnia. Do you think you have the capital to win in Foswood?" I scoffed at her.
"It depends on how I make my move!" the other side replied, then laughed sinisterly. "I told you, you'll regret it!"

With my palm still stiff, I gripped the phone hard as thoughts of her confident chuckle and unsettling expression raced through my head. What did she want to say? My thoughts raced quickly. Logically, it was my adoptive parents who erased my memory, but why was Celine openly tauntingwith this? What secrets were hidden here? Could it be that my adoptive parents were still hiding something from me? Everyone in the room looked at me. Lauren asked worriedly while holding the child, "Chloe, whose call was it?"

Coincidentally, Grayson calledand said the matter with the documents had results.
I arranged to meet him at his company.
Many big media companies were closing these days due to the incident with the journalists entering Fremont Bay, which created quite a commotion. That was to say, these folks had turned away fromand were becoming less interested in me.

"Okay, I'll be right there!" She hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone and gathering up the documents and my bag, I turned to go. I couldn't suppress the feeling of joy in my heart. When I reached Ryan's office, I knocked on the door and entered.
