Chapter 145
Cherise let out a cold snort, “Stupid. Go ahead”
Roy sighed again, “After discovering what Mandy was really like I started calming myself and getting ready to gather evidence beyond what the bug had recorded.
“Afraid I might get caught someday, I wanted to save my life, and I also thought about telling Jacob the truth and reporting to the police after gathering all the evidence, hoping to make some kind of amends
“So, I disguised myself as an unnoticed janitor and sneaked into the Lewis Group, and I found out Felix was secretly running illegal businesses. However, all I discovered were his illegal casino operations and his involvement in money laundering and other crimes.
“Theard a lot of documents were locked in a chemical plant under his name, but sadly, I couldn’t get there.
“However, just this along with the evidence of murder is enough to ruin him
“So I went home and recorded the audio evidence of the murder, as well as the information I collected, onto a chip and hid it where no one would find it.
“But two weeks later, some men came to my door and took me away. They were Felix’s men
“They saw through surveillance how I was collecting evidence at Lewis Group and how 1 overheard Felix and Mandy having a conversation that day.
“They brought me to an unknown basement, locked me in, and Felix and Mandy showed up ready to kill me.
“At that moment, I saw Mandy’s sneaky and vicious expression. I really regretted everything, but it was too late,
I cursed her as Felix pulled out a gun, intending to kill me.
“Back then, I had already accepted my fate. I told them that I had hidden all the evidence in a chip, and as soon as it detected my brain death, it would immediately reveal the evidence, ensuring their downfall
“I really did that; I wasn’t bluffing. I had hidden the chip.
“That move saved my life, but it also took away my freedom. What awaited me was the endless torment and darkness of the CareVille Nursing Home.
“From then on, they threatened, attacked, insulted, and beat mejjust to keep me alive because they were scared.
“When the suffering became unbearable, I resisted, screamed, and tried to commit suicide. They would forcibly inject me with sedatives, day after day. It lasted for three whole years!
“And then I woke up here with you.
Roy finished speaking and closed his eyes as if he were exhauster.
Upon hearing all this, Cherise felt no emotion. After a moment, she slowly spoke, “So how did Claire die?
Roy kept his eyes closed. “Claire? Wasn’t Claire the one who sacrificed herself during the conflict in Astamia back then? It was
even in the news,”
“Oh? Are you sure?” Cherise asked again.
Roy replied, “I’m not sure about that. I never dared to like her back then, so I didn’t pay much attention. It’s just a pity such a wonderful person is gone.”

Cherise sneered, guessing that Roy was also unaware of the cause of her mother’s death, so she didn’t ask further.
She could only wait to meet King so he could fix the audio file.
Then she looked over Roy from head to toe. “The chip is hidden on your body, right?”
Roy suddenly opened his eyes and asked in disbelief, “Who exagy are you? When I first saw you, I felt you looked like someone I knew.”
He paused, contemplating something. “Claire, you asked about Claire. And you do look a lot like her. Could it be that you are the daughter of Claire and Jacob?”
Cherise raised an eyebrow. “You are not silly now?”
“So you really are Claire’s daughter?”
Cherise nodded.
Roy finally understood. “A genius’s daughter indeed, smart enough. How did you know my chip was on me?”
Cherise no longer looked at him but calmly explained. “The chip only sends signals when it detects brain death, and it communicates through the body’s nervous system, so it must be hidden inside your body.
“As for exactly where in your body, only you would know. Of course, if I wanted to find out, I could.”
Roy nodded in agreement.
“I believe you want to see the bad guys arrested even more than I do.” Cherise added.
Roy knew what Cherise was up to. He stared at the ceiling with a calm demeanor. “Well, I suppose this is karma for the first half of my life!
m not sure if it can be taken out now.”
“The chip is in my right heel, but I’m
