At that moment, Ethan had just reached the office building entrance.
Seeing the two of them, he instinctively tried to avoid the situation.
But Charlotte called out to him directly.
"Ethan?"
"Mm." Ethan replied awkwardly. "I'm heading to the police station."
With that, he quickly left.
Watching his retreating figure, a faint heaviness settled in Charlotte's chest.
Even though she had clearly drawn a line between herself and Ethan, it still felt as if he could no longer interact with her normally.
So be it. Time would eventually smooth everything over.
Noah seemed to sense her thoughts.
"Ethan is actually a good person," he said.
"Yes," she replied softly. "He is. In the future… he'll probably meet someone even better."
'Someone better would surely appear to fill his loneliness,' she silently thought, then tightened her grip on Noah's hand.
Noah looked at her and nodded. "Yeah."
Not long after, Michael also escorted Winnie out of the Morrison Group office building. He held her hand tightly, shielding her carefully at his side.
Not far away, in a shadowed corner, someone was watching the pair through a telescope.
The moment Winnie turned her head, the man snapped a photo through the lens and sent it via phone.
Not long after, his phone rang. He lit a cigarette, tucked it between his lips, and answered.
"Are you sure it's that woman?"
The voice on the other end replied, "Yes. I received intelligence—she's the one Noah just rescued. She should be with him right now."
"You people don't even have a photo? What if I kill the wrong target?"
