Since she was hired by someone, she would know who was behind it. If he was going to deal with this threat, he would eradicate itpletely. He wouldn''t allow his girl to be in any danger.


    “Yes, boss.” Felton nodded, his tone deeply respectful. “Flint and I will handle it immediately. We guarantee we''ll have Ebony Fox in custody within two days."


    "Cancel the rest of my meetings."


    Knowing that Juniper had narrowly avoided danger, Shanley had no desire to continue working. He finished the contract at hand and drove directly to the restaurant where Juniper was meeting her friends. Mindful of not disturbing the youngsters, he didn''t go inside. Instead, he found a spot where he could see her and watched over her quietly for three hours.


    Only when her party concluded did he drive away.


    "Boss, since you were here, why didn''t you pick up Ms. Payne?" Felton asked cautiously from the driver''s seat.


    “Juniper said I didn''t need to," Shanley replied, leaning back against the seat, his lips barely moving. "Disobeying an order would make her unhappy."


    Felton didn''t dare respond, simply rubbing his nose and marveling internally. “My boss is so obedient to Ms. Payne! I''d better be clear on who''s the real king and queen in this rtionship from now on!"

    Late that night, afternding at the airport, Jimmie had some unfinished business and went straight to his studio. Just as he pushed the door open, a figure darted out from behind him, a low voice hissing, "Don''t move!"


    A woman? Assuming it was an obsessed fan, Jimmie froze mid-motion as he was taking off his jacket. "What do you want?” he asked calmly. “An autograph? A photo? Or..."


    "What would I do with that junk?" Hearing his words, Ebony Fox rolled her eyes, her tone impatient. “Calm down. I just have a few questions for you."


    She was holding a knife to his neck. How was he supposed to calm down?! Jimmie''s brows knitted together, and he didn''t respond immediately, unsure if she was after ssified information.


    "Is Juniper your sister?" Ebony Fox asked, her voice tight.


    "Who are you? Why are you asking about Juniper?”


    The mention of his sister made Jimmie agitated, and he tensed, ready to resist.


    "Your biological sister?" Ebony Fox pressed, holding him firm.


    "Of course," Jimmie answered without hesitation.


    "Is that so..." Ebony Fox murmured, her words indistinct. "I just don''t see the resemnce. You''re much uglier than she is!"


    "Huh?"


    "Does she have three other sisters?" Ebony Fox knew she couldn''t linger and asked coldly, "All of whom went missing fifteen years ago."


    At those words, Jimmie''s body went rigid. Something exploded in his

    "I now suspect that Juniper is my sister, and that you and I are rted by blood, the woman said, pullinga small bay from her pocket and cing it on the table. Her voice was serious. "My identity is sensitive. I can''t stay long until our rtionship is confirmed."


    "This is my hair. You can have it tested. But for your safety and Juniper''s the test must be keptpletely confidential will I also be taking a sample of your hair. We should have the results by tomorrow at thetest."


    "Hiss—” A sharp pain shot through Jimmie''s scalp. "Couldn''t you have given me a warning before yanking it out?" he said, annoyed.


    "Sorry about that." Ebony Fox''s lips twitched. "I''m used to killing. Sometimes I don''t know my own strength."
