A few minutes earlier.Even though it was nine in the morning, Russell was still sleeping. His room door wasn’t locked because he didn’t have that habit of locking the door.“Brother!” Viola ran into the room and jumped onto the bed, turned her body axially in midair and crashed her bum on his abdomen.“AUUGHH!” Russell got jolted out of his sleep.“Brother! Have you seen your new video?” Viola excitedly asked. “It crossed 100,000 views!”Russell pushed her aside, cringing in pain. He slowly got up, fearing that his back might have gotten hurt due to Viola's reckless action, but luckily, he was able to sit up without much of a problem. “Viola! You think you’re still a five year old or what?” he fumed at her. “You weigh 50 kilos now!”“I only weigh 47, though,” she retorted.Russell controlled his anger and exhaled audibly. “Anyway, you were saying something?”Viola showed him the mobile screen. “Your video is trending in the top 100 in the vlog category.”“R-Really?” Russell grabbed t

The masked assassin had been observing everything since early in the morning so he could make the perfect plan.“There are many variables in this mission. First, I saw a few faces walking to and fro in the same street, which means they’re probably taking a loop around the house since its backside is also linked to a different street. I was wondering why they didn’t put any guards. Well, it’s because they must have hired these women from some security firm. Hmph, they are so poor at doing their job, though. Fooling their eyes shouldn’t be too difficult.“Once I enter the house and turn the cameras off, killing him shouldn’t be much of a deal.“Two million dollars are at stake here, so I can’t make a single error.” He told himself and put the mask of Jennifer on his face and also dressed himself appropriately.He then fearlessly went to Russell’s house. The female security guards didn’t even doubt it. (As expected, my camouflage is perfect. No one can beat you in this, Edward. ) He told

“Is the wound serious?” she asked Gage in a cold tone.“No. It missed the organs. With a few hours rest, he should be able to stand,” replied Gage.She breathed in a bit of a relief as the wedding wouldn’t need to be stopped. “What’s your name?”“Isn’t it manners to tell your name first before asking for others?”“Lamiya.”“Gage.”“I’ll find out who you are, Gage,” Lamiya replied. She was a dark brunette with scary red eyes. She was in her mid forties, but she looked to be only in her early thirties. “If I find anything out of the ordinary, I’ll personally find you and kill you.”“I’m a virgin.”“... so?”“Before you kill me, can we…”She raised her gun a little.“Just kidding,” Gage said and then his expression turned serious, even though he wasn’t even looking at her. “Do you think your girls can catch that bastard?”“I’m confident in them.”“To have come in the appearance of Jennifer Bennett, either he’s been planning this for quite long, or he’s some top professional who wasn’t gi

Russell opened his eyes much earlier than expected.William told him where he was and what had happened. The Bennett family wasn’t told about anything yet, whereas Madison and her husband were told to keep their mouths shut. William had already paid them 10,000 dollars.“Why would anyone want to kill me so badly?” Russell was still in shock, especially because the assassin had come wearing Jennifer’s mask.“The Lynn family has a lot of enemies,” William said in a neutral tone. “You’ve made some enemies recently, too.”Russell shook his head. “No. Natasha and Denver are not capable of doing something of this scale.”“You’re right. It’s not them.”“Then who is it?”“We didn’t find it out yet,” William showed the face of Edward on his mobile. “This is the guy that tried to kill you. He’s a trained assassin. Only millionaires can hire this type of guy. So it could be anybody who suffered because of the Lynn family’s rise in power.”“How do you intend to narrow down the list?” Russell coul

The experience of getting slapped was nothing new to Russell. Both Arnold and Jennifer had given him a lot of experience regarding this, but Russell rarely ever got slapped by a girl his age. This was only the second time he got slapped by a young woman. The first time was when Natasha rejected his proposal.Naturally, more than getting shocked, Russell was mentally hurt for receiving a slap. Was it really this easy to slap one’s fiance? What could Kyra’s reason be for treating him like this?Russell could see that she was clearly angry with him.At the same time, Kyra could see that Russell was hurt by what she did. She frowned and looked a little guilty. “I… shouldn’t have hit you. I’m sorry.”Russell still looked hurt. Could a slap be erased with a simple sorry? Probably not. Hurting was always much easier than healing. For good or bad, could Russell ever forget this incident?Kyra, on the other hand, put herself in Russell’s shoes for a second, and that made her feel somewhat terr
