Chapter 294
Outside the conference room, Clifford said, “Hello? Nina, what’s the matter?”
His voice was different from the coldness during the meeting. It was rather gentle and excessively sweet.
Nina did not waste words and went straight to the point. “Clifford, I want to report two things to you.”
Hearing her voice that sounded serious and rigid, Clifford could not help but laugh again. “What are the two things?”
Nina said. “The first thing is what I heard from your eldest nephew, Oliver. Jessica seems to know about us undergoing modification. She even challenged me, saying that she wanted to take everything back.
“We suspect that she wants to undergo the modification too, but hasn’t Moonhuntland banned the creation of war machines? So, I’m reporting this to you.”
“Jessica knows the secrets of war machines?”
Clifford’s eyes darkened, and he immediately thought of Jake.
“Yeah.” Nina nodded. “It’s highly likely. Otherwise, why would she say such things like wanting to take everything back? If you have time, hurry up and investigate. I’m quite annoyed by her. You don’t allow us to kill anyone, so we can only go through the official process.”
When Clifford heard that the secrets of war machines were known by outsiders, his mood became a little more solemn.
However, when he heard Nina’s adorable remarks about going through the official process, he could not help but imagine her serious expression on the other end of the line at this moment, thinking that she was particularly endearing.
He could not help but think, ‘My girl is becoming more and more well–behaved.’
If it weren’t for the tense situation and his inability to leave, he would definitely rush to her side and properly “reward” her.
But now, he had no choice but to hold back.
With a sense of amusement in his voice, he said in a leisurely manner, “Alright, I roughly know what’s going on with Jessica Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this matter. By the way, didn’t you say you have two things to report? What’s the second thing?”
Nina said, “It’s about Sanya. I met with Sam today. Sam said it appeared that Sanya wanted to cause trouble, but isn’t she supposed to be heading to the border to carry out a mission? She couldn’t get to the bottom of things, so she handed this important task to me.
“I intend to see Sanya, which is why I’m asking for your approval. I also want to ask you about the situation on Sanya’s end. You’re the overall supervisor, so you should know a little, right?”
“Sanya, huh?”
At the mention of Sanya, Clifford’s eyes grew even more serious
He thought, ‘Indeed. While the war machines are all more or less troublemakers, Sanya’s ability to stir up trouble is top–tier among them. Even my Nina can’t compare.
‘After all, Nina’s troublemaking is minor, and it’s easy to deal with the aftermath. But when Sanya causes trouble, it’s bound to be bloody. On top of that, she’s skilled at manipulating people’s emotions, which is really troublesome.
Sanya had caused a huge stir previously. Because of that, Clifford immediately assigned two supervisors to directly oversee her after sending her home just to be on the safe side. Any developments were to be reported immediately, and even her schedule was to be submitted every three days.

Judging from the report alone, Sanya was considered to be “well behaved. She also got along “harmoniously and lovingly”
with her family.
Although Clifford knew that Sanya was skilled at acting and that the harmony and love were most likely an act, he would usually ignore her, as long as she did not cause any major trouble
After all, war machines had many problems in the first place, and one could not regulate them with the same standards as normal people. Clifford’s boundary was that as long as no one was killed, everything could be handled.
But this time, Sam specifically mentioned Sanya to Nina, so Clifford felt that he had been fooled by that madwoman.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt distressed.
‘She had better not cause me any trouble at this critical moment, he thought.
“Clifford, how come you are silent?” Nina asked.

Since he remained silent for a long time, she became impatient and called out to him again. At the same time, she started to feel a little worried about Sanya. “Did something happen to Sanya?” she asked. “Why aren’t you replying?”
“She’s fine.”
Clifford snapped out of his thoughts and first comforted Nina, saying, “I’ve seen the report sent by Sanya’s supervisors, and the report shows no issues with her behavior. But since Sam has reached out to you guys, we’d better investigate further just to be on the safe side.
“You want to meet Sanya, right? I approve. Go see her and find out what’s going on on her end. If there’s a problem, let me
know. Don’t hide it. Understand?”
Nila responded obediently, saying, “Alright. I’lliset off tomorrow then.”
“Alright, be careful on the way.”
“Got it.”
“I have a meeting here. Let’s not talk for now.”
“Clifford, you’re still in a meeting, huh? What a tough life. Charlie, Gabriel, Abbie, and I are enjoying the air conditioning and some gossip. It’s so comfy.”
“Little baddie, you’re deliberately provoking me, right?”
Nina chuckled. “Alright, you go ahead and get back to work.”
“Yes, I’ll hang up now.”
“Goodbye, Clifford.”
“Goodbye, Nina.”
After hanging up the phone with Nina, Clifford’s expression became serious again.
He lowered his head and looked at his phone. Then, he quickly dialed a number. It was the number of Sanya’s supervisor. He intended to first ask him about Sanya’s situation and see if he could find out anything.
The call was quickly connected.
The supervisor’s voice carried a hint of cautious nervousness as he said, “Hello, Mr. Snee? It’s quite late. What can I do for you?”

time since I asked about Sanensing that something was amiss. However, he remained calm and said, “It’s been a long
situation. H
How is Sanya doing at home now?”
“She’s doing great. Everything’s normal, and she has a good time with her family.”
When the supervisor said this remark, he was in the car, and the car was parked in a villa neighborhood.
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the second floor of a villa, which was the mansion of a high–ranking official from the Leith family.
On the second floor of the mansion, a girl with an enchanting figure was wearing a man’s loose white shirt, revealing two smooth and slender legs. She was sitting casually on the edge of a black and gold large bed, her slender legs swaying.
Her hands were cuffed with a pair of silver handcuffs that glistened with a metallic luster.
A mischievous and rebellious smile appeared on her delicate, naturally obedient, and sweet face. Her charming eyes were curled up as she looked provocatively at the refined and self–controlled man wrapped in a sleeping robe in front of her…
