Chapter 270The morning broke with a critical task at hand for Williams and Sasha. They were holed up in their hotel room at Sky Suite, going over the final details of the night’s plan. The air in the room was thick with tension, mingling with the acrid scent of cigarette smoke as Sasha leaned against the windowsill, her eyes narrowed in concentration.Williams sat at the small, round table in the center of the room, his fingers drumming rhythmically on the wooden surface. The room was dimly lit, with only a sliver of sunlight cutting through the curtains, casting a narrow beam across the table. His gaze was fixed on the detailed floor plan of Sky Care Hospital, the designated route marked out in bold red ink."Are you listening, Sasha?" Williams' voice cut through the haze of smoke, sharp and demanding.Sasha took a long drag from her cigarette, the tip glowing a fierce orange before she exhaled slowly, her breath curling in the air like a serpent. "I'm listening," she replied, her t

Chapter 272Milly's fingers flew across her phone screen as she typed a message to Williams, her heart racing slightly at the risk she was taking. **Jaxon plans to kidnap his father’s other family,** she wrote, her eyes darting to Jaxon to ensure he wasn’t paying attention. As she hit send, she kept the phone close, waiting for Williams’ reply.It didn’t take long. Her phone buzzed in her hand, and she glanced down at the screen. **Where is he now?** Williams had typed. **With me,** Milly quickly responded, then hesitated for a moment before typing again, **So, what’s my reward in all of this?** Williams’ response came almost instantly: **That'll be later when you come around the office.** Milly’s lips curled into a small, satisfied smile, but before she could savor the moment, another message from Williams appeared: **So when did he plan to kidnap them?** She hesitated briefly, then turned to Jaxon, who was still lounging on the bed, his focus seemingly elsewhere. "So, when do yo

Chapter 274Mr. Sterling was seated behind his large mahogany desk, going over some documents. He looked up as Williams entered, a look of mild surprise crossing his face. "Williams," he said, setting the papers aside. "What brought you here so late? How are you preparing for tonight? How's the assassin, is she all set?”“Everything is under control, Mr Sterling.” Williams responded.“So what brings you to my office? You know we're not supposed to be seen together till Liam is dead.”Williams forced a smile. "I was in the area and thought I’d stop by to discuss a few things that have been on my mind."Mr. Sterling leaned back in his chair, studying Williams with a curious expression. "Go on," he said, gesturing for Williams to take a seat.Williams sat down, his mind racing. He needed to tread carefully. "I’ve been thinking about the security measures around your family," he began, choosing his words carefully. "Given the current climate, it might be wise to increase them, especially

Chapter 276That evening, as the sun began to set, casting a warm golden hue over the city, Alisha and her dad, Richard, made their way to the hospital to visit Liam Carter. They had promised to come, and despite the chaotic day at home, Alisha was determined to keep that promise.The day had been anything but peaceful. From the moment Richard had woken up, the house had been filled with the sound of his and Kate’s voices clashing in argument. Richard was resolute in his decision to divorce Kate, his patience long worn thin by years of unresolved tension and recent betrayals. But Kate, equally stubborn, refused to leave. She insisted that she had every right to stay, that she wouldn’t let Richard push her out of her own home.Richard wouldn't listen to anyone, not even Pa Aaron when he came around earlier.The old man had tried to reconcile them both, but Richard wouldn't have any of it. He told Pa Aaron to leave his house or he'd call the police on him and have him locked up.The old

Chapter 278Kai immediately recognized him as Mr. Collen, the chairman of the board at Carter Comb.Mr. Collen had been annoyed when Liam had appointed Kai as the acting CEO during his hospitalization, believing that he should have been the one to take the position.Ever since, he had been disrespectful toward Kai, though Kai had chosen to ignore it, focusing instead on the more pressing issues at hand.Collen strode up to the desk and dropped the stack of documents with a thud. "What you’re doing here is nonsense, Mr. Grey," he snapped, his voice dripping with disdain. "You should involve the government in this investigation. This is too big for some private investigator to handle..."Kai looked up from his seat, his expression calm but his eyes cold. He let Collen’s words hang in the air for a moment before responding. "Is that all, Mr. Collen?"Collen bristled at the dismissive tone. "No, it’s not all. You’re overstepping your bounds, Grey. This isn’t some small-time operation you’
