Chapter 2002 Undercover
The air felt suffocating.
Breathing becincreasingly difficult.
Joyce suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, her entire body tingling. What did Darrin's late-night message mean? There was an
undercover agent among them! And so close to her! So close to the children!
She jolted awake, struggling to get out of bed, heading towards the door.
But Luther grabbed her, "Where are you going?"
"I need to check on Wilson and Cullen, and Anderson and Iris!" Joyce was sweating, her voice trembling.
Luther pulled her back, "Don't get agitated. The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. If we can't accurately pinpoint the
person, suspecting the wrong individual could be even more dangerous."
He pulled Joyce into his embrace, calmly analyzing the situation for her.
"The only ones who could know our family affairs are the maids or security personnel. Several maids have been with us for over
half a month, and if the target was the children, they would have had ample opportunity to strike. Calm down first, let's analyze
this carefully. We must not tip our hand too soon."
Joyce nodded, forcing herself to calm down. She knew Luther was right. The other party had no idea they were onto them. Once
the undercover person realized they were exposed, they would be driven to desperate measures, making the situation more
perilous for them.

Luther squinted his deep eyes, leading Joyce to sit on the sofa in the room. They had lost all sense of sleep by now. Who would
have thought that on such a seemingly calm night, such news would break out?
"As you said, first, we can rule out Chinn, as his chances are slim." Luther closed his eyes, filtering through all the personnel in his
mind. "lI don't think it's the security personnel either, as there have been no changes since you gave birth. Based on the
information Summer provided us, it should be someone who was inserted after you gave birth."
"Based on your deduction, it can only be one of the four maids. Elsa, Jane, Mrs. Brown, and Mrs. Powell, among them. Who do you
think is most likely?" Joyce tightened her grip, "I haven't noticed anything unusual during my interactions with them. It seems I'm
not sharp enough."
"Think back carefully. Who seems suspicious to you? Even the slightest discomfort or oddity can help us. Let's analyze together."
Luther took Joyce's hand and held it in his palm.
"Hmm. Letthink." Joyce's clear eyes glazed over as she delved into thought.
She went through recent events in her mind like a revolving lantern.
"Elsa is the most meticulous and careful person. She is a distant relative of my mother and was transferred from the warlords. She
has never made a mistake in her work. | can't think of anything suspicious about her. As for Jane, she is kind and easy to get along
with. She is very polite to me, and I've observed her getting along well with others. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Powell are younger than
her, and they have never acted superior. Most importantly, only Jane can hold Wilson. If there were any issues with Jane, then
Wilson would have to be cared for bytemporarily."
Luther shook his head, "Let's not focus on Jane for now. Wilson is very discerning by nature; | believe he wouldn't choose the wrong
person."
"I hope so."
Although Joyce said this, she didn't dare to bet, as Wilson was just a baby.
"The other two maids were recruited from outside. We should keep a closer eye on them. Especially Mrs. Powell, with her
background being somewhat pitiable, she would be more susceptible. What do you think?" Joyce thought carefully.
Luther narrowed his long eyes, "Following this line of thinking, we should be cautious."
"Otherwise, should we have them all leave tomorrow?" Joyce's expression turned cold, "I'll personally oversee them, it's better than
worrying every day."
"We can't be too careful. What if we're heading in the wrong direction? It could provoke the other party and force them to act
prematurely. Then we would have no room to retaliate." Luther reminded her, "I've thought about what you're suggesting, and |
even considered sending the children to the warlords’ quarters. But what if the enemy is already among them? What then?"
Joyce bit her lip, knowing Luther was right.
She nodded, "Yes, you're right."
"At the moment, we know there's an undercover agent. But they aren't aware we've caught on. Our immediate priority is to probe
each of them one by one until we find the real mole. Then we can act. As long as we remain still, the other party won't move, and
the children will be safe." Luther lightly patted Joyce, "Get ssleep, you can't show too much nervous tension. It will alert the
other party and make them vigilant."

Luther pondered briefly, "Sure, it's a chance to observe Jane's reaction. You go, I'll wait here."
