"Don't joke around!" Evan stared at Nathan in horror as he pushed his shoulder."Who's joking?" Nathan said with a straight face."Bro, don't mess around! You have to face Jack. He won't like this," Evan warned with wide eyes."Why not? There's no rule against liking someone.""But she's your boss's wife! You're really..."Evan narrowed his eyes when he saw Nathan's left eye twitch slightly. Annoyed, the man hit Nathan's shoulder."You almost gave me a heart attack! Don't ever do that in front of Jack. Never!" Evan warned seriously.Nathan smirked. His left eye did twitch at the corner when he was lying. "Anyone would like Elena. Only a fool like Lucas would waste a woman like her. Even David is crazy about her." Evan sighed deeply. The man scratched his right eyebrow. "Yeah, you're right. That woman doesn't even have to try hard to attract the opposite sex. Jack even turned away from Rose because of that scandal." Nathan snorted. "I didn't think Jack was that kind of guy." Me
"How's the situation around here?" Brandon had just arrived when Nathan finished directing the bomb disposal officers to the locations where the bombs were placed.They didn't want to be caught off guard again. The incident at the campus theater building had forced them to act more swiftly yet cautiously."I've found where all the bombs are. Nicklaus' men aren't very smart. I wonder which company he recruited all those guards from." Nathan chuckled as he continued to watch the officers.The FBI bomb disposal team used a remotely controlled bomb disposal robot, while the police bomb disposal team, already wearing special suits, combed through the entire building to find any other possible bombs."How did you know there was a bomb in this building?" Brandon asked, keeping his focus on his subordinates securing Nicklaus' men. "David Foster." Brandon turned to him with a complicated expression. They knew David was highly skilled in bomb-making, in addition to his expertise as a sniper
Elena almost fainted again, but she pulled herself together. Her hands gripped her father's arm tightly for support."But Nicklaus' secret is still at my father's mansion. Let's go there first," Elena said."I don't want to take any chances. It's better to go straight to my mansion. Besides, the safe is fireproof and impact-resistant. Even if someone finds it, they won't be able to open it," Jack explained. "Grab your things and leave immediately.""Jack is right, sweety. Besides, I'm the only one who knows about the secret room in that bedroom. None of the servants or housekeepers know about it," Edward agreed.Elena thought hard. What if the video had already spread? If David and Jennifer already knew, it was likely that David's men also knew. They could look up her GPA at the university and her father's wedding date at the Civil Registry Office.Suddenly, her mind flashed back to the magnetic card she had held earlier. Ah, yes. Without that card, the safe still couldn't be opened.
"Why the rush? We can open the safe tomorrow," Elena said as she followed her father, who was walking quickly into the Pierce family mansion."Elena, don't walk so fast!" Jack scolded from behind her."I don't know. I suddenly felt that I had to find that magnetic card now. I've been feeling restless since earlier," her father replied. The man immediately walked away and went up to the second floor where Alexander's room was.Mia, Elena's former personal maid, hurriedly approached them."Why didn't you say that you were coming here, Ma'am? We're still in the middle of preparing dinner," Mia said, who now served as the head maid, with a panicked expression. After Matthew Patt and Miranda Kiehl were arrested, the servants hired by the two of them were immediately dismissed by Alan. Only the servants recruited by Alexander and Elena remained, including Mia."It's okay, Mia. We just want to take something," Elena replied."You're already heavily pregnant! Let me get you some milk and fr
David knew it wasn't easy to convince others to trust him after what he had done. Trust was like glass. Once it was broken, it could never be repaired. And he was experiencing that firsthand now. No matter how good his intentions were, others would still be suspicious and distrustful."I'm not lying. Elena's safety is in danger. She could be killed.""She’ll be in danger if you get near her, you psychopath!" Nathan snapped. The man kept his gun pointed at him."I’m serious." David raised both hands. "Listen, I am obsessed with her. You found the cameras in her room yourself. But now, there’s something more important.""You're cunning and manipulative, Dave. You'll do anything to achieve your goals. I know your nature. You're just trying to divert attention." Nathan snorted derisively.David cursed inwardly. At a critical moment like this, he wasn't trusted at all."Listen, I didn't waste my time coming here just to talk nonsense. I could go straight to Elena. But no. I know that bast
"Destroy the Greenlake building. Destroy it when Alexander's granddaughter sets foot there."David stood motionless in his hiding place. He never expected to hear such a terrifying plan from Nicklaus Hunter.Originally, he had intended to come to Nicklaus' mansion to collect the payment that the man had yet to transfer. Since the security guard at the entrance recognized him, he was allowed inside. That guy didn't know that his relationship with Nicklaus was strained.Earlier, he had seen Amanda and her mother rushing into a car. Amanda's face was bruised and bleeding heavily. It seemed the old man was truly furious over Amanda's outrageous behavior this time.He almost entered the old man’s favorite room, but Nicklaus’s bodyguard stopped him. He said that there was still an adopted child of his employer visiting. And now here he was. Behind the door of Nicklaus’s office, eavesdropping. Earlier, he had hidden in one of the unlocked rooms when Jacob Reeves came out of there."When sh
