“We shouldn’t act rashly, especially since Edmund’s surveillance is tight. His team will notice if something happens. We’ll be exposing ourselves if we make any move.” Quill was the rational one between the twins. He was not keen on Fletcher’s idea.Though they could pull off the abduction and cover their tracks, there were always what-ifs. By staying put, they would not risk any accidents. If they were discovered, they would have to abort the mission. The branch leader would then be disappointed and lose trust in them.“We can neither do this nor that. It’s infuriating. We’re here to do a job, but there are unnecessary complications,” Fletcher whined helplessly. Before, Fletcher would just go straight for the kill or capture Edmund for interrogation. He would then gain information about Edmund’s secret and uncover the person behind him. However, he was met with obstacles every step of the way. He had to keep a low profile so as not to be discovered. “You are aware that o

“Well, this is our first time meeting. I should meet your wife, but it’s not appropriate for me to deliver the gift to her when she’s resting. I hope you don’t mind.” Russell knew the right words, and he got along just fine with Toby. “You’re too kind, but my wife is in need of these items. I’m grateful to you.” Toby let out a friendly smile. He appeared more alive than before. “I’m envious of your bond with your wife. You seem loving. “It’s hard for a lot of people to find the kind of commitment you share in this fast-paced world,” Russell complimented. “Oh, you flatter me. We grew up together. It hasn’t been easy for us to come together. We struggled a lot early on, but I can’t believe we’d face difficulties in our old age, too.” Toby’s voice was laced with regret. Despite spending half a lifetime together with Imogen, Toby wished for more time. He wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. “It’s something to admire. True love is impossible to find nowadays,” R

Toby smiled, not believing a word coming out of Russell’s mouth. It was the most absurd thing ever. These days, it was all about the money. Russell came across as generous and fair, but these very traits were the reasons why people stayed away from him. It was clear that he was in it for something more than money. “You’re a pretty upright and selfless man, Mr. Hark. I wonder if you stand to gain anything from this? Are you genuinely doing this just to help us?” Toby smiled warmly, but his keen eyes could see through it all. “I have some connections where your wife is receiving care. I can help with the bills. You can see a discount the next time you make a payment. “Mrs. McNabb isn’t in the best ward. She deserves better,” Russell said nonchalantly, the malice undetectable in his voice. However, Toby’s heart sank. He grasped the meaning behind Russell’s words. The supposed help from Russell was actually coercion. If Toby were to run his mouth or release anything

The hall was brightly lit, every corner radiating opulence. Russell stepped out of the car with an invitation in hand. He watched as attendees greeted one another. He did not know any of them. Even so, Russell was not flustered. Instead, he handed his invitation to the attendant. At the attendant’s gesture, Russell entered the venue. Russell spotted many businesspeople standing together. Most of them knew each other. They were also bringing new people into the group. Russell stood there by himself. He seemed a little out of place. Nevertheless, he was unfazed. Instead of standing around, Russell walked ahead and took a seat near the head of the table. Russell did so to assess crucial information and to present some ideas to the business owners. These people came together due to the declining margins across all industries. They harbored a lot of resentment over the matter. The plan was to get Edmund to attend the event. They hoped to persuade him to take a step

Sometimes, choices made in haste would lead to regret and reconsideration. The pair kept to themselves, biding their time before coming up with a plan. Russell looked lonely in his seat since no one came by to interact with him. The young man from earlier was hauled back by his parents. It was likely that he had served his purpose and said his piece. He was only gauging where everybody stood. However, no one made their positions clear. It was a sign to figure something else out. Russell was not the least bit anxious. He simply waited for people to strike up conversations with him. He had come forward with his identity and told the businesspeople that his connections were out to get Edmund. If these people were keen, they would get in touch with him. It was all about the waiting game now. Once reality sank in, these people would want to engage him. No one came over, though. They were busy sipping their drinks and chatting away. The event was a chance for everyone
