He kissed her softly on the neck, making her gasp.Adele turned her head, and saw Edward’s face. She smiled, feeling a surge of affection. "Hey, you.

Edward raised an eyebrow, wondering why Robert sounded somewhat flustered. However, he decided to address the matter at hand first. "Great. What's the update on Ivy's phone?"Robert cleared his throat. "The secure phone is ready, Boss, and I can arrange a discreet meeting with Miss Ivy whenever you're ready.""That's good to hear. We'll discuss the details in an hour."As Edward hung up the phone, he turned his attention back to Brenda and Adele, who were watching him with curiosity.

What he found in those files were photographs, photographs that shook him to his core.The images depicted various scenes, each more unsettling than the last. There were photographs of family gatherings, some of them dating back years. But what disturbed Edward the most were the close-up shots of his family members.

Edward wasted no time. He swiftly made his way to the helipad, where a waiting helicopter's rotors were already spinning impatiently. He instructed the pilot to take off as quickly as possible, directing their course toward President Bill's residence. In the tense moments that followed, he meticulously checked his weapons and gear, ensuring everything was in order.The urgency of the situation weighed heavily on him. He understood that flying directly to President Bill's house posed a significant risk. After all, his enemy was none other than Cassius Drake, the formidable head of the Leo family, known for his telekinetic abilities.
