From the moment she received Abby''s message, Ste had been formting a n. Whether the intel was real or fake, she was going to act on it. Any


    opportunity to disrupt Leonard''s operations was one worth taking. If it was a trap, she would simply be prepared for it.


    Joshua, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke. "You''re going to rob Leonard?"


    Ste nodded. "Yes, but I don''t have enough manpower. I''ll have to team up with Antoney."


    "What''s your n?" he asked.


    "It''s simple," she said. "We hit them at the transaction point. We make Leonard think his buyer is double-crossing him, and we make the buyer think Leonard is taking the money and running. I want them at each other''s throats."


    It was the only way. With her current resources, she couldn''tpete with a family head like Leonard, neither openly nor in the shadows. Even with Antoney''s help, it wasn''t enough. Leonard''s power and hidden assets were far beyond what the three Williams brothers possessed. She couldn''t afford a direct confrontation; she had to chip away at his power bit by bit while building her own.


    Joshua listened, a hint of admiration in his eyes. After everything she had been through, Ste was truly bing a force to be reckoned with.


    "It''s a good n," he said, a dark light flickering in his gaze. He thought for a moment. "Since you''re trying to rescue Abby, let me handle that part. While you and Antoney create a diversion, I can get her out with less pressure."


    Ste considered it. The person who went for Abby needed to be highly skilled andpletely trustworthy. Joshua was the perfect candidate. Besides, after the incident with Stuart, there was no telling if he might lose control and cause a bloodbath at the heist. If they drew Leonard''s attention away, Joshua''s mission would be rtively safe.


    She nodded slowly. "Alright, I''ll leave Abby to you. Once my brother gets the map of the Lerman estate, we can move."


    "I already have it," Joshua said.


    Ste blinked. "You have the map?"


    "When Abby called, you mentioned wanting to rescue her," he exined. "I had some free time, so I put out a high priced bounty for it on the ck market content belongs to s


    He took out his phone and sent a file to her. "This is it. Take a look."


    Ste opened the image and saw that the estate''syout was even moreplex than she had imagined. She looked up at him. "Joshita, are you sure you can handle a terrain like this?

    "Don''t worry," he said with a faint smile. "I''ll have experts analyze theyout and


    find a way through Leonard''s maze."


    Reassured, she said, "I have a team of skilled people I can lend you. You canmand them as you see fit."<fn06d1> Checktest chapters at FindN()vel</fn06d1>


    "Okay," Joshua agreed without hesitation.


    "You should get some rest," Ste said, turning her attention back to the ns. "I''ll call you if I need anything."


    Joshua nodded and left her office. About an hourter, her phone rang again. This time, it was Foreman.


    She answered, and his gentle,


    refined voice came through the line.


    "Star, congrattions on the


    sessful press conference. When
