458: The Spy and the Royal

The Spy and the Royal

  After Johanna received a check-up and gave a milk sample, she stretched out and went back to Quinn's room. Currently, Quinn is sleeping, slowly recovering from all of the fluid she lost. She approached her husband on the sofa, straddled him, and kissed him. 

"You look cheerful," Connor mumbled. 

"Because I'm back." 

  She snuggled to him like a cat with his arms around her. 

"I was so damn scared when I received your message." She whispered. "Lots of negative things were in my mind. I can't think straight." 

"But you manage to plant bombs all over their facility."

  She chuckled. 

"Those are the bad things that I might do just to get home." She whispered. "Now that they couldn't underestimate me, I think they will lay low a little." 

"Your brother is back and they caught the nanny." He mumbled. 

  She lifted her head. 

"I will kill her." 

  Connor patted her head. 

"The food was meant for Dione. Since that little girl wasn't a foodie like Kal and our little girl, Quinn took it, organized it, and ate half of it. It takes a few more hours before the poison acts out." 

"How come that the kitchen didn't see this?" 

"Because there are a lot of people at the party. The nannies were watching them and they were the ones responsible for the food." 

"Damn, I'm gonna kill that woman." She grumbled. "But why, Dione?" 

  Connor started caressing her hair, brushing with his fingers. He was also thinking about why the woman is targeting Dione. The only person he had in mind was the surrogate. She didn't know what was going on but Connor told her about it months ago. A knock on the door interrupted them, Violet entered with the test results. 

"Your milk is fine. You can feed it to Quinn, also," She checked the IV. "Does she still have diarrhea?" She asked Connor. 

"Nope. She's fine. No vomiting too." 

"Great. She will be discharged this afternoon." 

"That's it?" Johanna asked. 

"Yes. I think she's safer back in the mansion."

  Johanna moved to Connor's side as she sighed and crossed her arms. 

"Your brother has already captured the woman and is currently in the interrogation room." 

"How come that this happened in an estate full of agents and securities. The nannies were also screened many times." 

"There are a lot of errors. It's the same with that surrogate. Some people can lie, you know." Violet said as she sighed and looked at the poor baby. "Quinn recovered faster than any babies." She bent down and kissed Quinn's chest. "Anyway, I will check on a few documents so we can all leave. Also, the Queen wants us to formally greet Lord Gray, who is the psychiatrist you brought along with the kids." 

"Lord Gray?" Johanna raised her brows. 

"Unfortunately, he's your Uncle," Violet revealed casually. 

  Johanna covered her mouth and looked at Connor who nodded his head. 

"He's been the spy in the Serpent for years now." 

"How did he do such a thing?" Johanna asked. "It might make him crazy." 

"It does. That's why he's a psychiatrist." Violet chuckled. It didn't even wake up Quinn as they continue their conversation. "I don't think he wants any status in the Paradis. But we will see this at dinner." 

  The baby woke up suddenly. Then, she pouted and was about to cry. Violet reached her hand. 

"Hello, little Quinn. What do you want to eat?" 

  Quinn reached Violet's cheeks. 

"Foodie…" She mumbled. 

"Okay, I think this little one is ready to eat." Violet looked at Connor and Johanna. 

  Johanna stretched out, approached her baby, and gave her kisses. 

"How about mommy's milk?" 

"Mama," Quinn smiled. 

"Alright, I will go now and check the new kids."

  Although Harvey is tired, he stays with Dione and Kaiden together with other babies who are currently making their cookie designs. But since Levina couldn't do it yet, she stayed lying beside Kal who was busy with his cookie design. He smiled while watching the babies. Maxine and Alicia were good parents as they taught the kids to design it with sweet frosting and colorful toppings. 

"Are you tired?" MJ hugged her husband's neck and kissed his cheeks. 

"I'm doing fine, babe. I am just admiring these little ones." 

"I have more for my friends. Can they eat this?" Cole asked Harvey. 

"They can. Just pack it up neatly, son." He told him. 

"I will." Cole smiled boyishly. 

"They are having fun," MJ mumbled. 

"I think this little one needs your milk." He whispered. "I will go back to the hospital to check on the kids." 

"Sure." She walked around and sat beside him as MJ reached her baby. "I had someone prepare the guest house for the kids and Gray." 

"Thank you," Harvey kissed her lips and he left the playroom. Terrence approached him with the tablet as they walked out of the mansion. Their car was already waiting outside. "Is it confirmed that all of the trackers in their bodies were already removed?" 

"That's what Johanna said," Terrence answered. Leon, who was their driver, waved at them. 

"Victor is already in the basement. We need to check a few more info." Leon drove the car fast to the hospital. All of the other cars and motorbikes quickly move to give way. 

  It was always like this in the estate. They own it like their city. Soon, they reached the hospital and they went directly to the laboratory where the children are. They are undergoing tests as everything inside them is being screened. Their blood was tested multiple times. The kids were very much bewildered but the man who came with them cheered them up. 

"Who is Alexa in here?" Harvey asked as the girl with short hair, black eyes raised her hand. Then, he extended his hand as Alexa took it. Harvey shook it formally. "Thank you for your bravery that day." 

  Alexa's eyes widened when she recognized him. 

"Victor is currently busy but he will be here with you soon." 

"Victor?" The other kids asked with glee. 

"Yes, he's here. Also, Cole prepared a surprise for all of you. Please bear with us for a moment. We need to make sure that there will be no toxins in your bodies." 

  Harvey nodded his head as he headed out with Terrence and Leon. They went to the basement where they held the woman captive. The woman was shaking as she was trying to conceal it. Her brown hair was messy and her cheeks were bright red. They already thought that Victor slapped her or maybe Violet. Harvey also wanted to hit the woman but the mastermind was the one that they needed to beat up.  0

"Has she spilled anything yet?" Harvey asked as he put the gun on the table. 

"No." 

  The woman stared at Harvey and she pressed his lips. 

"How's Clare?" Harvey asked. The woman that was supposed to be Dione's nanny looked at him. Her eyes dilated which means they found the mastermind. "How are you connected with Clare?" 

  The woman looked away as Harvey rolled up his sleeves. 

"Should I beat her up?" 

"I can do that." The woman who entered suddenly spoke. They all looked at MJ, wearing her usual dress. They gaped at her as MJ slapped the woman on the other cheek. The woman started crying, but she screamed when MJ pulled the back of her hair. She moved her mouth to the woman's ear. "Now, tell me. What exactly does Clare want." 

  The woman's dry lips shuddered. MJ's voice just sent chills through her spine. 

"I had enough of Clare. I killed a lot of people with these hands and you will be the 1002nd. I will carve my initials on her skin as well." 

  The boys stepped back when they realized that MJ was caressing a knife on the woman's neck. The woman even stopped breathing, afraid that she would get cut. But MJ ran the blade, slowly and gracefully on the jaw. 

"So, are you going to speak or what?" 

"Ohh, badass," Victor mumbled. "Your wife is like this?" 

"Yeah," Harvey nodded his head, amazed at how calm MJ's face was. She gave another slap she even punched the woman's stomach. 

"I think I should go and help with dinner," Terrence said. 

"I will also help with dinner since Jo is back," Leon said. They exited the room as Victor patted Harvey. 

"I will see my sister." 

  Harvey left him with his wife as the boys rushed away. He wondered why they were so scared? When Violet was also scary. However, they haven't seen this side of MJ. She's also brutal. The normal MJ would be sweet, kind, and gorgeous, but since it involves their kids, she won't forgive and forget. 

"Love, that's enough," Harvey said upon seeing the woman looking battered. He reached his wife as she turned to him with those furious, fiery eyes. "It's enough." He smiled at her and kissed her lips. "We will play with her soon. Okay? Baby Quinn will be able to come home. Violet treated her well." 

"Fine." 

  She still looked dangerous. She's holding back and just a second she might give the woman an excruciating death.
