"This also shows that person has been secretly spying on our lives. It’s terrifying." Kenneth remarked.
"Oh, boss, this is the phone Martin wanted me to give you." At that moment, Jones finally remembered the task at hand and handed the smartphone to Rosemary.
The phone had been cracked by Thomas, and as Rosemary scrolled through, she found Erik’s last words to Serena, along with all the information related to the mastermind. She projected it directly onto the TV screen.
Everyone in the room was left in shock, their emotions a tangled mess of grief and disbelief.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town.
Alma was sleeping soundly when a frantic knocking at her door startled her awake. Rubbing her eyes with irritation, she opened the door and grumbled, "What’s with the knocking? In the middle of the night, why disturb people’s sound sleep."
"Miss, we’ve gotta go quickly." her nanny was pulling her arm to leave, then suddenly remembered something and pulled her back, "Grab your passport, jewelry, and whatever else you need."
"What for?" Alma asked impatiently, "It’s so late, what’s gotten into you?"
But Lina didn’t have time to explain; she hurried Alma towards the safe, urging her desperately, "Hurry, punch in the code. We’re in deep trouble, and if we don’t move now, it’ll be too late. Hurry."
It was the first time Lina had ever spoken to Alma with such urgency, which gave Alma an ominous premonition. She even pressed the wrong digit while entering the password.
Lina was beside herself with panic, "Everyone’s ready; it’s just you we’re waiting on, hurry up."
Alma tried again, only to press a wrong digit once more.
It wasn’t until the third attempt that the safe beeped twice and swung open.
Lina quickly grabbed a bag, stuffed everything inside, and then pulled Alma to run.
As the family of four ascended the aircraft’s stairs, five dashing young men and their entourage had surrounded the helicopter.
"Where could my dear aunt and uncle be going this late hour?" Hunter’s voice sent a chill down the family’s spines.
He signaled to his men, and numerous subordinates began pouring gasoline on the runway, ready to ignite it at any moment.
With a wave of Chasel, and the rest drew their weapons, aiming at the family.
Clark smirked, "Uncle, aunt, what a pleasant surprise. Wouldn’t it be a loss if guns went off accidentally?"
Sean toyed with a grenade in his hand, "This is a gift from Rose, though I haven’t tested its power yet."
David chuckled, "We’d like to invite you over for a chat and some tea at our place. And the two sisters should come as well."
Half an hour later.
The family of four of Lucas was invited to Reflections Villa.
Bernard and Cornelia sat in the main seats of the living room, their faces with anger and disappointment.
On the sofa to the left were Kenneth and Louisa, looking as calm as the eerie stillness before a storm. To the right sat Rosemary, her expression unreadable.
Romeo knew what followed was a private matter for the Collins family, and as an outsider, he had excused himself half an hour earlier.
The five brothers came in one after another, each carrying designer shopping bags from various brands.
Jewelry and valuables were dumped onto the coffee table, quickly piling up into a glittering mound along with the family of four’s passports, bank cards, and other personal items.
Bernard was livid, striding over to his second son and grabbing handfuls of the jewelry, hurling it at him with fury.
Alma was petrified, wondering what exactly had happened and why her grandfather was so angry.
