<b>Chapter </b><b>336</b>
Sebastian was preparing to head back home.
The vigers warmly escorted the Shein family to the edge of the vige, their faces filled with <b>reluctance </b>to see them go<b>.</b>
Sebastian and Shein discussed development ns with the town chief..
Feeling bored, Wanda took out her phone and wandered toward the back mountain.
The signal tower nearby was blocked by the mountain<b>, </b>so she needed to head there to obtain a signal.
At the same time<b>, </b>Zachary was also at the back of the mountain, taking a call from Queenie.
Queenie updated him on everything that had happened at Sanctuary Resort.
As he listened, Zachary’s face darkened with anger, his knuckles whitening as he tightened his grip on his phone.
Fortunately, it was a Nokia phone, which wasn’t easy to break.
“Prince Heath and Titan were both apprehended?” Zachary asked through gritted teeth.
Aftern’s death, Luke had struggled to make any significant progress.
Zachary had hoped to ally with Titan, but Titan’s demand for half ofn’s properties had soured the deal.
Zachary refused these terms and decided to endorse Luke <b>instead</b>.
But as soon as he began <b>to </b>back Luke, Heath made his move.
Just as Heath was ready to progress his n, Titan appeared like a hawk swooping down on an
unsuspecting rabbit<b>, </b>thwarting him.
This gave Zachary somefort.
After <b>all</b><b>, </b>Heath was only climbing up the ranks, whereas Titan had been a prominent figure <b>for </b>over a <b>decade</b>. He was someone even Shein would give way to.
Losing to him didn’t <b>feel </b>as disgraceful.
“Titan is already out, but Prince Heath is in critical condition, with two wounds <b>to </b>the head <b>causing </b>brain hemorrhage. He won’t likely make <b>it</b>, and even <b>if </b>he does, he’ll be <b>bedridden and paralyzed </b><b>for </b><b>life</b><b>,</b><b>” </b>Queenie <b>exined </b><b>to </b>Zachary softly, her face pale.
<b>“</b><b>Zachary</b>, your parents have already paved a path for you. There’s <b>no </b><b>need </b><b>to </b><b>get </b><b>entangled </b><b>in </b><b>these </b><b>dangerous </b>affairs. Those <b>people </b><b>are </b>dangerous and <b>wouldn’t </b><b>hesitate </b><b>to </b>kill <b>if </b><b>pushed</b><b>,</b><b>” </b><b>Queenle </b><b>added</b>
<b>Zachary </b>sighed,
“<b>I </b><b>know</b><b>, </b><b>but </b>I <b>just </b><b>want </b><b>to </b><b>achieve </b>what <b>my </b><b>dad </b><b>couldn’t</b>. If <b>Yuriel </b><b>can </b><b>dominate </b><b>both </b>the <b>legal </b>and Illegal <b>worlds</b>, <b>so </b><b>can </b>!.”
<b>2/2</b>
Queenie <b>felt </b>helpless at Zachary’s determination.
She said, “Alright then. I’m going back to sleep.”
Wanda didn’t dare approach Zachary. She stayed at a distance, searching for a signal to log into MSN
Messenger<b>.</b>
A text message came through with a ding.
Although the sender was unidentified, Wanda immediately recognized Carlisle’s number, which she had long sincemitted to memory.
It read, “Someone’s nning to harm you guys. Be careful<b>!</b><b>”</b>
Wanda’s brows furrowed as she read the text message. She immediately called Carlisle to confirm if he
had sent it by mistake.
After all, Shein was a well–known entrepreneur in Rivend. Who would dare to mess with him?
Just then<b>, </b>Zachary approached her.
“Wanda, has Uncle Sebastian left?”
Wanda quickly hung up the call and shook her head.
“Not yet.”
At that moment, her phone rang. It was Carlisle’s number again. Wanda hastily declined the call.
But Carlisle instantly called again.
Zachary narrowed his eyes.
“Too scared to answer? Is it Carlisle calling you<b>?</b><b>”</b>
He reached out for the phone<b>.</b>
“Hand it over<b>.</b><b>”</b>Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Wanda hid the phone behind her back, shaking her head.
“<b>No.</b><b>”</b>
Zachary’s voice hardened.
<b>“</b><b>Do </b><b>you </b>think I <b>won’t </b>have someone cause trouble for Carlisle right <b>now</b><b>?</b><b>”</b>
<b>Wanda’s </b>resolve crumbled. She <b>pouted </b>and handed the phone to Zachary.
Zachary <b>answered </b>the <b>call </b>but kept quiet.
<b>On </b>the <b>other </b>end <b>of </b><b>the </b><b>line</b>/<b>Carlisle </b><b>spoke </b><b>calmly</b><b>, </b>“Did <b>you receive </b><b>the </b><b>message </b><b>I </b><b>sent</b><b>?</b>”
<b>Zachary’s </b><b>lips </b><b>curled </b><b>into </b><b>a </b><b>cold </b>smile.
<b>“</b><b>Carlisle</b>, <b>so </b><b>it </b><b>is </b><b>you</b><b>.</b><b>”</b>
