Chapter 359
After dealing with the potential danger that could erupt at any moment, Cynthia helped
Joshua up and laid him on the bed.
Joshua probably never thought that Cynthia calling him out was merely to lock him out
and eliminate him as a ‘dangerous’ factor.
For Cynthia, finding the source of the scent in the room and the signal jammer was
necessary. If they were to stay here for a few more hours, she would be unable to hold on.
If Joshua continued taking a cold shower in the bathroom, it would be manageable if he
could maintain control. However, if he lost control halfway through and ran out, she would
have to exert much effort to bring him down.
Rather than that, it was better to resolve the situation in advance and have the safety in
her hands. Over the next hour, Cynthia searched methodically, conducting a carpet-style
search,
Fortunately, luck was on her side. In the end, Cynthia found the source of the scent in four
places, such as the television and stereo, which had heat dissipation or openings.
Upon opening them, she discovered that something had been inserted inside.
As for the signal jammer, there were a total of three.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had to be said that the person who set up these things was sneaky. If it were not for
Cynthia feeling that the figurines and ornaments in the room seemed out of place, she
would never have thought they could be signal jammers.
Thankfully, she found no surveillance devices.
Once Cynthia had dealt with these matters, she used wet towels and tissues to isolate the
source of the scent and turned off the signal jammers. Then, she checked all the devices
in the room again, ensuring everything was normal and there was no suspicion of remote
control manipulation
Finally, she could relax and sit on the sofa, relieved
During this time, Cynthia finally had the opportunity to reflect on the situation.
The person abruptly stopped Jayleen from taking any action after hearing that Joshua was
pursuing her, and Jayleen mentioned that the person had a grudge against Joshua.
Judging by that person’s behavior, he enjoyed tormenting people me ntally.
Putting everything together, it was possible that his goal was to make Joshua fall in love
with her or pursue her and then kidnap her to force Joshua to give him his company
secrets.
Or… to make joshua trade his own life for hers.
If that were the case, it would be easier to manage.
Pretend to make Joshua fall in love with her, then pretend to be abducted. Later,
coordinate with Riley and the others to
capture the person.
It should not be difficult
Yet, the problem was… what if her assumptions were wrong?
Thinking about all this, Cynthia’s mind was a mess, and her body had a strange sensation.
Even so, she did not immediately leave the room to create an illusion for the person,
malding him believe that his plant had succeeded so they would proceed to
the next step.
If Cynthia were to leave now, things would become even more complicated.
She glanced at the time. Judging by Joshua’s reaction earlier, the effect of the scent
should be quite strong, and she needed to stay in the room for at least another half an
hour.
After a while, the strange sensation in Cynthia’s body became more apparent than before,

also been affected. Even though she had partially isolated herself with a moistened mask,
she had been in this room for too long. Thus, the substance had still taken effect on her
body, albeit not as severely as Joshua’s.
Cynthia rubbed her temples.
This was really annoying.
She could not call someone to come and open the door. If she did, there was a risk of
exposure if someone was watching
outside the room.
Suddenly, Cynthia froze
The signal jammer had been turned off, which meant she could make a phone call.
Even though she could not ask someone to come and open the door or let them know
about the situation inside, she could use a phone call to divert attention and suppress her
own bodily reactions.
With that in mind, Cynthia proceeded to do so. If there were anyone in the world who
could say a few words to sober her up instantly, it would be none other than Captain.
