Chapter 268
Black Rose ate a bit of food and left soon after.
After she left, Edward smiled. “So, are the two of you satisfied?”
Easton smiled and said, “Hahaha, of course, of course! She has a stunning figure! It’s just a dam shame. that she’s an assassin. Anyone who lays a hand on her will be toast!” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“That’s why she calls herself Black Rose. Roses may be beautiful, but they’re also full of thorns!” Jada remarked.
“Right then. I’ll pay for the meal if we’re done eating. How about we raise one last glass and drink a toast to Severin’s early death? Hahaha!” Edward stood up and proposed. He was very satisfied with the assassin he hired because he believed that the assassin’s sexy figure would be very useful in seducing. Severin. He would almost certainly take the bait, and death would soon follow once he fell for her charm.
After their toast, Edward went to pay the bill. They then left the hotel with Jada and Easton following Edward from behind. The two of them then saw Edward off as he got into the car and left the hotel.
With Edward gone, Easton said to Jada, “Edward didn’t lie to us after all. He hired a four stars assassin this time around, and I genuinely hope we’ll finally succeed!”
“I hope so too. Men are all the same, anyway. You, for instance, were ogling her thigh earlier!” Jada left after making that remark.
After returning home, Victor immediately asked her, “How was it? Did you meet the assassin? Is he reliable?”
Jada nodded. “It’s a she, and I think she is reliable. According to her, the only path to becoming a four stars assassin is to complete a hundred assignments. Plus, she’s a beautiful woman who specializes in seducing her targets before creating an opportunity to kill them.”
“That’s good to hear!”
Victor nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Severin and his family had already arrived in a large VIP room at a hotel.
“Isn’t this a little too over the top, Grandma? The food and wine on this table are worth tens of thousands, right?” Diane asked with a smile when she saw the luxurious spread of food and expensive wines.
“I know I’ve always taught you to save money and spend wisely, but today is different because we’ve just received a huge boost in our future benefits. I firmly believe that our family would soon have a bright future, so I’ve decided to splurge big and celebrate today!” The old lady was beaming with joy and excitement.
“That’s right, and it’s all thanks to Severin! We would never have gotten two spots without him!” George remarked with a smile from one side.
Meanwhile, Stanley had a long face as he sat right beside George. He never thought that the day would come when his father would lavish praise on Severin. Now that Severin was valued by all quarters, it would be very difficult for him to reprise his role as general manager.
Judith looked at Severin worriedly and asked, “Severin, I heard that you encountered an assassin when the ceremony ended this afternoon. Did you get hurt? You need to be more careful when you head out
in the future. We don’t know who hired the assassin yet, but they may try to hire other assassins after this
Severin laughed it off. “Don’t worry, Mom. They’re like ants to me. Do you honestly think they’ll put my li in any danger?”
Maurice then said thankfully, “It looks like Severin was right to hire bodyguards for us. Being rich come with a risk of being targeted by jealous people!”
