Chapter 899 Someone Else Behind All This


    As it happened by coincidence, they stumbled upon Charlotte’s ind and got wind of rumors about


    gold mines. So, they decided to kidnap a geological survey professor, forced him to locate the gold


    mine’s whereabouts, and smoothly acquired a group of workers. They ndestinely began mining on


    the ind.


    As they had suspected, it seemed that Charlotte hadpletely forgotten about this ind and hadn’t


    visited it in ages.


    This made them even bolder, and they brought in more resources to carry out a major operation.


    However, they hadn’t expected that just when they were about to extract the gold, Charlotte and her


    friends decided to vacation on the ind.


    “Our original n was to kill all of you and then seize all the ore,” spoke Stubble-Bearded Man as he


    recounted his scheme, his face disying intermittent waves of delusion.


    It was as if he had truly achieved what he had desired in his heart, sessfully obtaining the gold mine


    and killing Charlotte in the process.


    Unfortunately, fantasies are just fantasies. He didn’t seed in obtaining the gold mine and was even


    caught by them before he couldy a hand on Charlotte.


    Thinking about this, Stubble-Bearded Man seethed with hatred.


    After hearing everything, everyone felt a subtle sympathy for StubbleBearded Man. Could his luck have


    been any worse?


    After settling back into her chair, Selina looked at Stubble-Bearded Man coldly. “I managed to build


    such a huge underground market; I won’t fall apart in a moment of misfortune.”


    She didn’t say much more and gestured to Asher.


    Asher understood and quickly dragged him away.


    No one present questioned Stubble-Bearded Man’s fate; instead, they turned their attention to Selina.

    Selina furrowed her brows and looked at Charlotte and Joe. “Although this man is a traitor, I know him


    well enough to be sure he couldn’t have pulled off something like this on his own.”


    “Are you suggesting there’s someone else behind all this?” Joe furrowed his brows.


    Selina shook her head. “Rest assured, that person wasn’t targeting you. I will thoroughly investigate


    this matter and provide you with an exnation.”


    Having witnessed Selina’s capabilities, Charlotte and Joe had no doubts about her ability to find the


    real culprit. After a moment’s hesitation, they agreed.


    Before leaving, Selina handed each of them a box. “This matter is ultimately connected to me, so


    consider this my apology.”


    After leaving the underground market, Charlotte opened the box Selina had given her.


    Inside the palm-sized velvet box were dozens of rubies, each the size of a thumb, with top-notch purity


    and rity.


    The boxes contained the items that money couldn’t buy.


    “She’s really generous.”


    The gifts for Sharon and Joe were even more straightforward – a box filled with high-quality sapphires


    of exceptional purity.


    “It’s her way of reassuring us that even though the underground market is currently in crisis, her


    abilities remain undiminished,” Charlotte remarked as she closed the box. She suddenly thought of


    Selina’s appearance today.


    Despite her efforts to conceal it, Charlotte could still discern a trace of weariness in Selina’s eyes.


    Selina didn’t keep them waiting for long. In less than ten days, she informed Charlotte and Joe about


    the mastermind behind the scenes, a name they had never heard before.


    Charlotte and Joe found a suitable mining team and decided to leave Sharon behind on the ind.


    Before Sharon could even express any reluctance, Charlotte volunteered to give him 10% of the profits,


    to which he readily agreed.
