He was starting to grow suspicions against the girl, but he hid it well inside.

Shirley broke into a light round of laughter.

"Indeed.. Only time will tell. If she is the key to solving our problems, then..." Shirley narrowed her eyes. "I might have to take some measures. If it's to protect our country, I can do a lot of things,"

Her gaze conveyed that her intention was serious and devoid of any lies.
