Dan shot Joan an angry glare, his eyes filled with indignation. "Why did you call me a fool?" he demanded, his voice laced with frustration.

Joan, still smirking, looked at Dan with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Oh, come on, Dan. Can't you see it? You just solved the biggest problem for us!" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with excitement.

Confusion etched across Dan's face as he furrowed his brows. "I… I did? How?" he asked, his voice a mix of surprise and curiosity.

Kate couldn't help but chuckle at Dan's bewilderment. "Don't you see, Dan? You mentioned the possibility of a secret tunnel or disguises. That's exactly what might have happened!" she explained, her voice tinged with amusement.

Dan's eyes widened as realization dawned on him. "Oh, I get it now! If they managed to escape so quickly, it means they found a route no one is familiar with or they disguised themselves to throw us off their trail," he exclaimed, his voice filled with newfound understanding.

    Brian stared at Ethan, his voice trembling as he struggled to comprehend the situation. "Ethan... You can't mean that, right? You're just trying to play mind games with Maggie, aren't you?

    After Maggie was taken away by Joan and her men, Brian found himself untied by Kate, his body still trembling from the adrenaline and fear that coursed through him. His hands rubbed his sore wrists as he took deep breaths, trying to steady himself. Kate's worried eyes met his, and she offered him a reassuring smile."Take your time, Brian," she said softly, her voice filled with empathy. "You've been through a lot. We're here for you."Brian nodded, his face contorted with pain as he gingerly stood up. He winced, feeling the ache in his body, but he was grateful to be free from the restraints.

"Don't bother," she replied casually, her tone dripping with arrogance. "He can handle himself."Kate's eyes widened in disbelief. "But he could be in danger," she protested, her voice tinged with frustration. "We should at least go and check on him."Joan looked at Kate as if she were looking at a naive child. "Do you really think he needs us to protect him?" she sneered. "Can't you see it for yourself? Ethan has become more alert, more capable after waking up from passing out."Kate pondered Joan's words, her mind racing.
