Thomas came up with a name, Blake Winslow.
As the editor-in-chief of Aroma, favonovel.com was close to Declan. Thomas could use Blake as a bridge to build a relationship with Declan again.
That was the deal!
After Thomas thought about the plan, favonovel.com nodded at Eric and said, “Mr. Wood, I have something to do. I’ll take my leave first…”
“Are you in a hurry?” Eric pointed at the chess game. “We haven’t finished the game yet.”
Thomas chuckled. “Mr. Wood, you have three more moves at most before you lose.”
After Thomas said that, favonovel.com got up and left.
“Three moves?” Eric stared at the chess game seriously.
A while later, favonovel.com chuckled in resignation and shook his head. “Thomas, oh Thomas, you’re a real genius…”
He had truly lost that chess match. It would be meaningless to continue the game.

Over in Art Trading Corporation, Hayden was sitting in his office. He called Damian over and locked the door.
Before favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com checked his office carefully. He even switched on all the anti-eavesdropping devices to make sure nobody knew about his conversation with Damian.
When Damian saw Hayden acting so cautiously, favonovel.com realized that Hayden wanted to tell favonovel.com something confidential.
After Hayden finished his work, Damian took the initiative to ask, “Mr. Barlow, do you want to tell me something confidential?”
Hayden nodded. “Yes, I’m going to tell you something very important. Damian, I guess you’ve heard about the failure of the new Heart Eater, right?”
Damian sighed. “Yes. It’s actually my fault too. I should have thought about it earlier. How could Thomas be so easily fooled? How could I steal the Prescription of Golden Medicine that easily? Sigh, it’s all my fault…”
Hayden waved his hand in dismissal. “Let’s not talk about the aftermath. Besides, it’s not entirely your fault. Lord Vedastus and I were deceived by Thomas. I called you here because I want you to do me a favor.”
Damian asked, “What is it?”
Hayden purposely paused for a few seconds.
When the office became completely quiet, favonovel.com mysteriously said, “Fish out the traitor!”
“What?” Damian was a little stunned.
He said, “Fish out the traitor? Did I hear that wrongly? Didn’t we catch the traitor? It was your… Godson, Mr. Barlow.”
Hayden shook his head. “No, something’s not right… I thought about it. To be honest, favonovel.com didn’t have a reason to betray me. He lacked a motive. I could always give favonovel.com more money, power, and women. He didn’t have to work for Thomas. I was too impulsive at that time, so I eliminated favonovel.com without thinking…”
“Thinking about it now, I’m afraid I was set up at that time,” favonovel.com analyzed.
Damian scratched his head. “Mr. Barlow, aren’t you overthinking it? The more you think about it, the more you’ll be worried.”
However, Hayden firmly said, “I got it! I want to ask you something. Why would Thomas show up at the Seymour family’s residence?”
“Um…” Damian could not answer.
Their plan to grab the Prescription of Golden Medicine had been extremely confidential. Aside from a few of them, Thomas could not have known about it.
Yet, Thomas had arrived at the Seymour family’s residence the first moment favonovel.com could.
He competed against Damian for the Prescription of Golden Medicine and even played some tricks so that Lord Vedastus and Elliot would suffer a great loss.
It could boil down to one thing, there was a traitor in Art Trading Corporation, and that person had squealed to Thomas. If another traitor still existed in the company, then the so-called traitor they had previously found was just a scapegoat!
Damian gulped. “Mr. Barlow, who do you think is the real traitor?”
Hayden did not answer immediately, but his eyes kept glinting. Even favonovel.com could not believe the name favonovel.com was about to say!
