Chapter 303
Thora thought she had prepared so thoroughly that failure was impossible.
But she hadn't expected William and Christina to uncover her plan, and Harper suddenly regained her memory, indicating the brainwashing experiment had failed. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she might not have been able to escape.
Not long after she got out, Thora thought of Casey.
Her current situation had a lot to do with him.
Although she wasn't completely out of options, she didn't want to let William and Christina off the hook, so she dialed Casey's number.
"Hey, Jennifer? What's up? Thought you were busy with your plans."
"Cut the crap. I'm not Jennifer anymore. I changed my name to Thora, remember?"
"Alright, alright. Where are you now?" Thora couldn't stand Casey's teasing over the phone.
"Okay, don't get mad. I'll send you my location."
Thora hailed a cab and headed to the location Casey sent.
Casey was already waiting at the door. The moment he saw Thora's face, he felt a bit dazed.
Honestly, in his mind, Thora still looked like Jennifer.
He liked Jennifer from before, even though she was a bit arrogant, disorganized, and didn't care about much. To him, she was incredibly cute.
"Why are you staring at me? You helped design this face, didn't you?"
Thora got out of the car and saw Casey looking at her face with a hint of sadness.
She immediately threw her belongings into Casey's arms, feeling annoyed.
"Yeah, yeah, you're right. But why are you looking for me now?"
If Casey remembered correctly, Thora had prepared so much to go after Christina and William.
But it seemed like nothing had happened to them?
"Haven't you seen the news online? I don't even want to explain it to you. Let's go."
Thora walked ahead, and Casey carried her things to his place.
"So, what's your plan now?"
Talking about plans made Thora grit her teeth in anger.
If her last plan hadn't failed, she wouldn't have had to come to him for advice.
But even so, Thora wasn't willing to let it go.
"Of course, but I'm hungry. Make me something to eat."
He nodded quickly, put her things on the couch, and went to the kitchen to prepare some food.
He made her a meal and brought it out.
After Thora had eaten enough, she relaxed and started sharing her thoughts.
"I think they've become more cunning recently, so I need your help."
Casey looked at her with some confusion.
He handed her a glass of water.
"Here, have some water."
She took the water from his hand and looked at Casey with frustration.
"What's wrong? Are you unwilling to help me? You know you're the only one who can help me now."
He shook his head.
"I didn't say I wouldn't help you. It's just that it's difficult. If you've already changed your face and identity, and they can still recognize you, then..."
"I've hidden well. It's not that I've been discovered; they're just too vigilant. No matter what identity I use, they seem to sense it."
To Thora, this was a very bad situation.
In other circumstances, she might consider it more carefully, but now she couldn't wait.
She was eager to see them punished.
As for Casey's suggestions, Thora hadn't considered them.
"Your previous ideas were good, but too complicated to implement. Think of something more practical. I'm not planning to go out for a while, so I'll stay at your place. Is that okay?"
Thora still had that arrogant demeanor.
Casey smiled faintly at her words.
"Why wouldn't it be okay? Even though your face isn't the same, you're still the same person, and you haven't changed much."
He wanted to say she was still as arrogant as before, still unwilling to let others off easily.
But he had fallen into this trap, and some things were hard to describe.
"Glad you understand."
Before they could say more, Casey's phone rang.
"Yes? I understand. I'll handle it here. Just follow the usual procedures."
He hadn't hung up yet when he noticed Thora's curious gaze.
He quickly wrapped up the call.
"What's up?"
"I'm curious. With your abilities, couldn't you do better? Why are you so low-key about these things?"
He smiled faintly at her question.
"Maybe it's because of certain things and certain people. But don't worry, since I said I'd help you, I'll do my best. If we're going to go after them, we need to understand the current situation first."
"Got it. Stop nagging."
Meanwhile, Christina had just signed a contract and was rubbing her temples in exhaustion.
She had thought it wouldn't go smoothly, but the partner was surprisingly agreeable.
"Ms. Windsor, based on their requirements, we can start by sketching the design and then create a prototype. If that's okay, I'll get started." Her assistant came in to ask about the next steps after receiving the contract.
"Alright, start with the sketches and then make a prototype. Make sure it's detailed."
She couldn't take the partner's easygoing nature for granted.
"Got it. I'll take care of it."
The assistant went out to gather the relevant team members for a meeting.
Christina looked for potential collaborators.
Their studio was now on the right track and gaining some recognition. With proper development, they could grow significantly.
Just then, her phone rang.
"Should I pick up the kids today?" William's gentle voice came through.
After everything that had happened, their relationship had eased a bit.
But to Christina, it was all superficial.
She never thought she would end up like this with William.
But some things had to be handled with surface-level politeness. Christina checked her schedule for the day.
"Go ahead. I might be a bit late getting off work. Tell Harper I'll bring her something tasty tonight."
After saying this, Christina was about to hang up.
William quickly interrupted.
"Wait, what time will you be home tonight? What do you want to eat? I'll have the nanny make it or buy it in advance."
"No need."
She hung up before he could respond.
William looked at his phone with a sense of melancholy.
Even though he had tried so hard, the damage was done, and changing things seemed difficult. But he wouldn't give up. Whether big or small, he would keep trying.
