Chapter 669
The cold-faced woman slowly lowered her head and looked at her phone. The Facebook chat group
"Secretly, Greatly" was already buzzing with activity.
Alby: [Just got a new case, investigating Cody's case and looking for evidence. Hey, I always thought
Cody was a good guy.]
Chad: [Who knows if it's all an act? A few years ago, there was some big leader who rode his bike to
work every day, but it turned out he was corrupt.]
Ward: [Forget about it. I still think Cody is innocent.]
Type: [Since we've taken the case, let's do our best to investigate.]
Wind: [How much did they offer?]
Alby: [Three million.]
Chad: [Damn! That's a lot of money!]
Type: [Am I the only one who noticed that Zero hasn't shown up yet?]
Alby: [Zero? Are you there? We can't do this alone so let's all work together on this case.]
Zero: [I'm here. This job must be done well. Please help me out, everyone.]
Chad: [What the hell? Bro, what's your relationship with Cody?]
Zero: [I won't tell you. Hurry up and investigate! If the money isn't enough, then I'll add another two
million!]
Alby: [...]
Wind:[...]
Type: [Bro, don't play like that. It seems like you have a close relationship with Cody, so we need to
investigate even more thoroughly now.]
Alby: [Give it our all and wait for our updates.]
Sylvia closed the chat group and looked back at Franklin, "Secretly, Greatly seems pretty mysterious?"
Franklin thought she didn't know anything about them, so he didn't suspect her, "It's a very secretive
organization; they say they work for the president but... they also take private jobs from time to time;
not just loyal to the president."
Sylvia nodded, "Sounds pretty impressive... if I told you that I am..."
She wanted to explain again about her relationship with Secretly, Greatly but Franklin received another
call. "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up, the man deeply gazed at Sylvia. "Ricardo has woken up. Let's go to visit him in
hospital?"
Helpless, Sylvia had no choice but put aside telling him about her identity. "Let's go."
The two of them went together with Jasper to Urgford Hospital.
In a VIP ward, Ricardo was drinking porridge while Isla stood by his bedside concerned, "Ricardo,
you're too hardworking normally. Give some work over to your assistant. It is important for you take
care of yourself."
Ricardo looked up at Isla, the leader of the computer technology department.
Normally, they had no interaction since she worked in a different department. Why was she so busy
taking care of him when he fell ill?
She even brought breakfast this morning, which surprised him and made him slightly wary and
suspicious.
He had heard of Isla before - she was a high-ranking member of MI6 and known to be quitenovelbin
demanding.
Ricardo was generally mild-mannered and treated his assistants well without any strange
temperaments that some higher-ups might have. So, he didn't reject Isla's sudden kindness too much;
he just became more cautious.
"Isla, thank you for your concern and breakfast. There are nurses here to take care of me, so if you
have other things to do, please go ahead," Ricardo said politely.
He didn't want to owe anyone favors, especially not someone like Isla who could be difficult to deal
with.
"Ricardo, don't be so polite. We're colleagues after all, and everyone can see how well you treat us,"
Isla replied as she poured Ricardo a glass of water.
Smiling faintly in response, Ricardo said, "Thank you."
As they were talking, Franklin walked in with Sylvia by his side.
"How are you feeling today? Still have a headache?" Franklin asked as he tried to stop Ricardo from
getting out of bed.
"Don't move around too much; your health is more important," Franklin added sternly when Ricardo
tried again to get up from bed.
"Master Franklin, I bought breakfast for Ricardo earlier today. Did you eat breakfast yet? There's still
one left." Trying her best to establish her presence, Isla held out the food container towards Franklin
and said, "Would you like to try it?"
A strange glint appeared in Ricardo's eyes upon hearing Isla's words. He realized that Isla was using
him to win Franklin's favor!
Franklin coldly refused her offer. "No, thanks; my wife and I already ate."
Only then did Isla seem aware that Sylvia was present. "Oh sorry Miss Andrews! You're here too?"
Sylvia gave her only a cursory glance before replying coolly, "Miss Saunders, you arrived quite early."
Upon hearing Sylvia's voice, Ricardo couldn't help but look behind Franklin at the woman standing
there.
Sylvia had so fair skin that it almost shone under bright lights.
Her features were delicate, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear. She wore her long hair tied back
into an elegant ponytail, and exuded an aloof aura.
"This is..." Ricardo couldn't resist asking about this mysterious woman standing behind Franklin.
"Ricardo, this is Sylvia. She's got some pretty good medical skills, so I asked her to come over and
take a look at you," Franklin said with great respect for Ricardo. "If there's anything bothering you or
making you uncomfortable, just let her know."
