Chapter 167

Albert and Madeline were on their way to Blue Sky Mental Hospital. The latter had spent the entire

drive reading over information on the hospital the former had supplied. Based on what she had

gathered, the hospital was located in the northern suburbs of Imperia. Owing to the hospital's sensitive

nature, visits were strictly by appointment, even for visiting patients. Hence, it would not be possible for

them to enter without reason and conduct the investigation.

Coincidentally, the hospital had been receiving funding from the Charity Association since three years

ago. Madeline finally found a reason to pay a visit to the hospital.

"Albert, phone the hospital in your position as a Charity Association member," she instructed.

"Okay, Ms. Grant."

"I think we need a change of clothes," Madeline glanced at Albert and said excitedly.

The duo arrived at their destination half an hour later. Madeline was dressed in professional attire, her

wavy hair neatly tied up in a bun. To perfect the look, she adorned black spectacles and put on some

light makeup.

When she saw someone walking toward the hospital entrance, she turned off the car engine and

hurried around to the other side to pull the door open for Albert.

"We have arrived, Mr. Wright!" Madeline made a polite bow, playing the role of a well-trained

subordinate.

As Albert stepped out of his car, an aura of confidence and power radiated from him. He moved with

purpose, his head held high and his eyes fixed on the horizon. The woman was secretly pleased with

his ability to act the role well.

"Welcome, Mr. Wright! We have been waiting for your arrival!" A man greeted his guests with a hearty

welcome. He extended his hand, but Albert ignored the gesture. Despite the rejection, the man

maintained his upbeat attitude. "I'm Elijah Jacot, Assistant CEO of Blue Sky Mental Hospital. It's my

honor to finally meet you in person, Mr. Wright. I've heard many wonderful stories about you."

Albert nodded and replied casually, "Hello, Mr. Jacot. Why don't we go inside and carry on the

conversation?"

"Allow me to show you the way, Mr. Wright." Elijah relaxed slightly when his guest finally acknowledged

his presence.

I thought Mr. Wright would be a difficult man to deal with. However, he appears to be a newcomer to

the scene. Experienced arrogant leaders would never call me "Mr. Jacot." No wonder the subordinate

he has brought along is dressed so poorly. However, she does have a good figure.

Madeline trailed Albert and successfully entered Blue Sky Mental Hospital. During the drive here, she

had roughly memorized the floor plan. The administrative office was in the middle of the three main

buildings, while the resource center and medical storage room were in the other two. All the patients

and medical personnel were located in the center building. There were a total of seven floors. The first

floor was the main hall, followed by five ward floors. The management executive and special care ward

were located on the top floor.

Based on the intel from James, someone had intentionally hidden Angie in Blue Sky Mental Hospital.

Madeline deduced that she was likely to be in the special care ward.

When Elijah led the two into the main hall, he said politely, "Mr. Wright, why don't we take a break in my

office? I've made plans for lunch. We'll be able to go in half an hour." He could only make the lunch

plans at the last minute because it was an unexpected visit. If he had his way, he would have Albert

sent directly to the restaurant without having to enter the hospital. After all, he could not afford to make

any mistakes in this critical period.

"There's no need for that, Mr. Jacot. Our chairman has charged me with researching the organizations

that the charity supports. We are willing to increase our financing for organizations that have solid ideas

but lack the resources to put them into action. I'm running on a tight schedule, so lunch would not be

necessary," Albert said solemnly as he followed Elijah into the elevator.

Although Elijah was disappointed by the man's rejection of lunch, his mood lifted when he learned

about the possibility of more funds. "Mr. Wright, you are a man of responsibility and competence. All

these years, the hospital has been endeavoring to enrich the quality of life and realize a better society.

I'm sure we would be able to do more if given additional funding."

When Albert noticed Elijah going to hit the top floor elevator button, he replied, "The former director

also praised the hospital. Could you please show me around? We must carry out our responsibilities."

"Well…" Elijah mumbled.

When Albert noticed his expression turned sour, he probed, "Is it inconvenient for us to tour around the

hospital?"

"Of course not, Mr. Wright. As you know, our patients are mentally-ill. I'm afraid…" Elijah said

nervously.

"This is just a routine practice. There's no need to be concerned. Nobody needs the extra funds more

than your hospital," Albert assured.

Elijah was delighted to hear the good news. The Charity Association is made up of stupid loaded

individuals. The majority of them come from upper-class families in their respective nations. They are

not only wealthy but also exceedingly generous. Over lunch three years ago, I persuaded the former

director to donate 500 million dollars to the hospital every year. Since the CEO of the hospital has gone

missing, I call the shots around here. All the money is going into my pocket. It's so easy to get rich!

The man could not conceal his happiness as he thought of his evil plan. He pressed the second-floor

elevator button, figuring it would not hurt to show Albert around. The tour was going to be a breeze as

every room was locked.

Everyone went out of the elevator when it arrived at the destination. Elijah was so focused on pleasing

Albert that he failed to notice Madeline had remained in the elevator. She pressed the top floor button

after the doors had closed.

Even though everything was going as planned, Madeline had the sense that something was wrong.

However, considering how far they'd come, there was no going back. The top priority was to find Angie.

Madeline leaned against the elevator wall, putting herself hidden from the elevator's surveillance

camera. She then took out her phone and configured the surveillance camera to shut down three

seconds later. Next, she removed the button from her shirt and lightly tapped it. Her professional attire

instantly morphed into the hospital's nurse costume she had previously filmed.

Ding!

Madeline took off her sunglasses and mask when the elevator door opened. She then checked the

thermal indicator on her phone to make sure no one was nearby. When the coast was clear, the woman

exited the elevator and made her way to the surveillance camera. However, as soon as she stepped

out, someone strangled her with golden threads.

"We meet again, pretty lady!"
