Chapter 299
Severin and Sheila chatted away happily as they walked, and in a villa not too far from where they were, Jada-who was drinking tea on the balcony on the second floor-was stunned to see the two of them.
“That can’t be possible, right? Isn’t that Sheila Ballard? Why is Sheila and Severin…” Jada was dumbstruck to see the two of them taking such an enjoyable stroll together. After all, Sheila’s connection to Brookbourn Mansion made her status much higher than that of Robin.
It came as a complete surprise to her that Severin was walking and chatting with Sheila. A sudden thought came to mind and she immediately put down her teacup so she could take out her phone, and zoomed in on them using the camera to secretly snap some photos of them. “Why would that damn Severin have such a good relationship with Sheila? He’s probably her boytoy!” Jada gritted her teeth angrily after thinking of what Severin had done to her and her father.
She then thought to herself and mumbled, “I wonder if this photo will be useful somehow!”
After giving some thought to the possible options, she finally shook her head. “Probably not. Sheila and Severin are just taking a walk anyway, and it’s not like they’re doing anything out of the ordinary. Diane probably wouldn’t be jealous anyway, since the Shanahans might even be happy to see Severin developing an even closer relationship with Sheila! After all, the Shanahans wanted to associate themselves with the Ballards since long ago!”
Jada’s cell phone then started ringing all of a sudden. She answered the phone and heard Edward’s voice at the other end. He told her to meet him at a cafe as soon as she could.
Although she did not know what was up, Edward’s tone seemed to suggest that there was some bad news. Before long, she arrived at the cafe Edward mentioned.
As soon as she sat down and ordered a cup of coffee, Easton and Lucy arrived too.
“Is something the matter, Edward?” Easton asked the instant he sat down.
Edward looked at the three of them, and said, “I have some bad news. The four stars assassin we hired was killed just an hour ago, and she died by the side of the road.”
“S-s-she died too?” Easton’s face darkened when he heard that. “We spent three million to hire her, and she died just like that?” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Although he and Jada paid half each, he was still distressed to have lost the money like that. After all, his family’s wealth was just on the level of rich businessmen, and he could not compare with such upper-class families as Jada and Edward.
“It’s so annoying that even four stars assassins aren’t up to the task!” Jada also had a gloomy expression and fell silent after making that remark.
