When John Wilkinson appeared, Reginald remained unfazed. He didn’t resist but quickly nced at the police and Terrence before pulling a pill from his pocket and swallowing it. Terrence realized what was happening and tried to intervene, but it was toote. The pill went down Reginald’s throat, and within seconds, he was spitting blood and copsed, lifeless on the ground. The suddenness of it all shocked even John Wilkinson.
Terrence approached and touched Reginald’s face, only to discover it was a mask. “We’ve been tricked. This isn’t Reginald,” Terrence said, his eyes darkening as he tore off the fake face to reveal the imposter’s true identity.
John Wilkinson quickly stepped forward. Realizing the deception, his expression grew serious. “Reginald is too cunning. It seems he saw through our trap. Catching him won’t be easy.”
Despite setting such a big trap, they had failed to capture him, making their task even harder. Members of the Celestial Alliance were utterly loyal to Reginald, willing to sacrifice their lives to protect both the organization and him.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
Terrence was equally frustrated. “Even if this one is fake, he must havee to Auroraville.” Suddenly, Terrence’s face changed as he thought of something. He immediately took out his phone to call Meredith but found she was out of service. He then called Grandma Sterling, with the same result. Even the bodyguards at the northern vi couldn’t be reached.
Terrence’s anger red. “Damn it! Reginald must have gone to the northern vi. Grandma and Meredith are in danger.” He strode towards the yard. “Drive to the northern vi.”
Any further dy might be toote. John Wilkinson also realized this was a diversion by Reginald, who had sent a decoy to Ravenwood while heading to the northern vi himself.
John Wilkinson quickly got into his car. “You ced Grandma Sterling in the north? Was there a leak?”
“Never underestimate Celestial Alliance,” Terrence replied as he got into his car and started driving towards the northern vi.
The drive from Ravenwood to the northern vi took at least an hour-a torturous hour for Terrence. John Wilkinson ordered all police units to head to the northern vi, sirens ring.
…
At the northern vi, just as Terrence had guessed, the real Reginald had already infiltrated with members of Celestial Alliance. Using signal jammers, they blocked allmunications, making it impossible for Terrence to reach anyone by phone.
Shadows moved silently around the vi as Meredith slept soundly with her daughter beside her, unaware of the danger creeping in. Even Grandma Sterling in the next room was asleep.
Meredith sensed something wrong in her sleep and suddenly opened her eyes to see two men standing before her. She instinctively moved to protect her daughter but was knocked unconscious in an instant.
In the next room, Grandma Sterling woke from her sleep and recognized who they were after a moment of surprise. “Reginald sent you,” she said calmly. “Is he outside?”
“Ma’am, pleasee with us. Master Hawthorne requests your presence,” one of the Celestial Alliance assassins said politely without using force.
Given her age, they were cautious not to harm her physically as Reginald had instructed them to bring her back unharmed.
“Where are Rowan and Meredith?” Grandma Sterling asked. “Don’t touch them; I’ll go with you.”
The assassin replied coldly, “Ma’am, this isn’t up to you. Master Hawthorne ordered everyone be brought back. Let’s go.”
Grandma Sterling knew she couldn’t resist them at her age and followed them willingly, hoping she could persuade Reginald once more.
By the time Terrence and John Wilkinson arrived with the police, the vi was eerily quiet. The hidden bodyguards had been neutralized, and both Meredith and Grandma Sterling were gone.
Terrence’s expression was cold and grim as he punched the sofa in frustration.
John Wilkinson ordered immediately, “Start tracking them now.”
Any dy would mean losing track of Celestial Alliance members entirely, making it nearly impossible to rescue Grandma Sterling and Meredithter on.
