NovelOnlineTanya maintained her composure, not even a flicker of distress crossed her face, "As his boss, | think it's only fair | handle his questioning. To be honest, after all these years at my side, | can hardly believe he's capable of such a thing," she said.
Leopold raised no objections, summoning Kevin to escort her to the temporary holding room.
Upon seeing Tanya, Thomas immediately blurted out, "Boss, you've got to get me out of here. I've been framed. | didn't hypnotize Skyler, and I'm the one who got hypnotized!." Tanya had already sensed something was off with him. There was no way he'd dare to hurt her.

She was exceedingly cautious, worried their conversation might be bugged, so she was very careful.
Her fingertips tapped lightly on the table, a Morse code warning for Thomas to be mindful of potential eavesdropping.
"You're saying someone hypnotized both you and Skyler?" "Yes, someone hypnotized us and planted false memories in Skyler, making him believe it was me. A hypnotist can cause memory confusion, and Skyler's not exactly clear-headed. He's easily misled." As Thomas spoke, his fingers surreptitiously sent another signal, [The person | wanted to hypnotize was Aurelia.
How could | possibly hypnotize Skyler? There's always a bigger fish, and someone's playing that fish.] He dared not admit to hypnotizing Skyler, as it wasn't an order from Tanya.
A flash of iciness streaked through Tanya's eyes.
“Think hard. Who could have hypnotized you?” As she asked, her fingers stealthily tapped on the table, [Was it one of Leopold's people?] Thomas shook his head, "I can't remember. There were too many people on the cruise." "Did anything unusual happen?" "Nothing, except at the party. | went to the restroom and met a kid, probably Aurelia's son. He was playing with a yo-yo nonstop. But how could a four-year-old know hypnosis?" Tanya's expression turned grave.
"Don't worry. If you're innocent, Leopold won't wrong you. I'm sure he'll get to the bottom of this." She covertly signaled, [If you can't remember, pin it on someone else.] In the dining room, Aurelia spotted Lana as soon as she walked in and waved with a smile, "Hey Aurelia, come join me for breakfast." With a smile, Aurelia took a seat across from her. Soon enough, Leopold, Arnold, William, and Skyler all arrived, settling around the circular table.

Tanya and Sierra approached, "There are two spots left. Let's all sit together." Aurelia served milk to William and Skyler. The breakfast laid out for them today was substantial.
Skyler grabbed two sausage rolls, handing one to William.
"| love sausage rolls." "Me too," William said with a broad grin.
Tanya glanced at Skyler and said slowly, "I've spoken to Thomas. He's a victim too. He's been hypnotized as well.
It wasn't him who hypnotized you but someone else. Thomas has been with me since he graduated. I've never heard of him using hypnosis. He must have been set up." Skyler pouted, "It was him who hypnotized me. He's the hypnotist." Tanya replied, "Your memory was altered under hypnosis to believe it was him, but it was someone else." Skyler puffed his cheeks, "Aunt Tanya, are you trying to cover for Thomas? You didn't have him hypnotize me, did you?" Tanya said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're my family. How could | ever harm you?"
