Chapter 1342
Everyone murmured in a hushed yet coordinated tone, “Mr. rence."
Mr. rence nodded slightly, “Everyone, spread out and keep watch."
“Yes, sir"
All the bodyguards dispersed in unison, and Arabe, taking their lead, bowed slightly and stepped
back a few paces.
She watched as Mr. rence pushed open a door, revealing an interior with decor and lighting simr
to what she had seen downstairs.
A bodyguard caught her gaze, but just as he looked in her direction, Arabe lowered her head and
followed the other guards out of the room.
After a while, Arabe circled back alone. She pulled out her phone, which had a special system she
had been working on, and pressed it against the door. Soon, she could hear the conversation inside.
“Eunice only brought that girl, and none of the bodyquards Bard arranged for her. Also, those guys she
hired from Alexander are all holed up in the vi; none of them stepped out. Our men have patrolled the
outskirts a few times, and there''s no sign of anyone suspicious."
“That''s out of character for her, almost doesn''t seem like her’ mused Mr. rence in a reflective tone.
“Maybe she thinks tonight is just an ordinary birthday party, and besides, she rarely takes bodyguards
when she goes out."
“No, you don''t understand her. She used to go out without bodyguards because Bard was there, and
Bard could protect her,” Mr. rence said gravely. “I suspect she might have guessed something, so
she deliberately didn''t bring her men, aiming to bait us into a trap"
The servant found this hard to believe.
“If she’s as smart as you say, why would she bring along a liability? That girl looks young, a Collins
heiress at that. If anything goes wrong, how is she going to handle it."
“Appearances can be deceiving,” Mr. rence replied thoughtfully, recalling the girl, “You didn''t see
how she could recover deleted surveince footage. Plus, with that demeanor, she''s definitely not
ordinary. Moreover, her status is her best protection."
“So, in your opinion, should we call off tonight''s operation?” The subordinate felt it was a shame, given
the time they had spent nning.
“Let''s wait for news from the other side. If that man is taken care of, even if Eunice is prepared, we will
have nothing to fear"
Arabe listened intently. Who was ‘that man’? Her grandfather? Or her uncle?
Suddenly, Arabe remembered whether her family had enough people to ensure her grandfather''s
safety.
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
And her uncle was on a business trip. Was he in danger on the road?
Suddenly, footsteps approached quickly. Arabe turned and immediately countered the iing
attack.
"Who are you? I''ve seen you skulking around."
Before the bodyguard could finish, Arabe subdued him with a swiftbination of moves.
Those inside the study heard themotion, exchanged nces, and opened the door to find no one
outside.
"Go check it out,” Mr. rence ordered with an icy tone.
The servant promptly obeyed, returning after a while to report.
“Mr. rence, no abnormalities were found."
By this time, Arabe had already dragged the unconscious bodyguard to the adjacent master
bedroom, which seemed austere and majestic—likely Arlen''s room.
His room was off-limits to the servants.
Mr. rence nced at Arlen’s bedroom door butcked the audacity to enter, ultimately just
instructing coldly, “Find out who has left the ground floor just now, and report back to me immediately!"
"Yes, sir"
After hearing this, Arabe looked around Arlen''s room and found aputer.
She booted it up and hacked into the system, only to find it devoid of anything useful.
She decided to sabotage some of the ground floor surveince and then left, returning nonchntly to
the garden.
The bodyquards checked the main hall and found all the quests ounted for, except for Eunice and
Arabe.
