Bryce pressed his lips together and asked cautiously, "Miss Shannon, if I may be so bold--how did you figure that out?"
Moments ago, his subordinate's report confirmed that both the vehicle frame and engine codes had been altered, leaving no way to trace them. If Cynthia wasn't somehow behind this, how had she known?
Cynthia didn't seem bothered by Bryce's earlier skepticism. She replied casually, "Just a lucky guess."
Bryce felt a twinge of disbelief but took a deep breath, adjusting his tone to one of genuine respect. He even addressed her with heightened reverence. "In that case, what do you think was their goal?"
The goal, of course, was to target Tristan. What puzzled him was why the enemy had gone to such lengths, disassembling and reassembling a car and adding a self-driving system. Bryce couldn't make sense of it.
