A thoughtful look appeared in Jared's eyes before his lips rose a little, revealing an extremely beautiful
smile.It instantly dazzled Rhein, causing the latter to miss the chill in Jared's eyes.
"Sure," Jared answered flatly.He had a tinge of mocking disdain in his eyes, but it was hidden so well
the other party could not detect it at all.
After hearing Jared agreeing to attend, he excitedly looked up and said, "Thank you.It'll be nine
tonight.We await your presence."
Rhein thought, 'I knew it! If he knew it was us who did that, how could he agree to come? After all, one
could tell this was a literal...Red Wedding!'
Jared did not answer Rhein as he disconnected the video call.
That assured Rhein even more that Jared was just a pretty face, and it was impossible for him to find
out what went wrong.He did not mind how brusque Jared was earlier and instead walked out happily.
Janus, standing by the side, looked at his boss and asked with some puzzlement.
"Boss, why did you agree to that invitation?"
He wondered, 'You already know that they are the culprit, so why are you walking into the trap?’
A glint streaked across Jared's eyes as he played with the dagger in his hand, a faint killing intent
swirling across his body.
"I want to see what they are actually up to for myself."
At this moment, Nicole had arrived at her destination under cover of night.She looked at the navigation
system that had been inputted earlier and raised her eyebrow.
Elijah really understood their nature and had even chosen their destination point already.
The Dodge Tomahawk sped through the streets, and fifteen minutes later, the two had arrived at a
place not too far away from a huge villa.
With the Thorne family's current status, they were still not worthy of owning an estate.
The two looked at each other, and as they looked at the brightly lit villa, a look of surprise appeared in
both their eyes.
'It's already late.What are they doing with the lights still on?! Nicole looked at the time.It was fifty
minutes past midnight.She had timed things just right to slip into the house at the point when everyone
was in their most tired state, to search them.
She had something in her mind that she needed to confirm.
Yet, the brightly lit villa quickly turned that plan on its head.
Nicole looked at her watch and decided not to delay things any further.
She gave Carl several secret hand signals, motioning that he was to deal with the two bodyguards at
the front gate while she would sneak in from the back.She would then search the place and
rendezvous with him outside after ten minutes.
Carl signed to indicate understanding, but at this moment, the corner of Nicole's eyes suddenly caught
a light coming from the top of the villa.
Her gaze sharpened as she looked at the villa on the other side, and sure enough, there was a fleeting
glint coming from the rooftop of the villa as well.
Nicole quickly pointed at her bracelet and made a motion for Carl to go alone and contact her at any
time.
