Chapter 16

Rayan hung his head, a clear expression of guilt on his face. “Mr. Yoder, we’re still in the process of investigating. After Ms. Schneider left the villa, she vanished from the surveillance cameras, making it quite challenging to locate her. We’re still working on pinpointing her exact whereabouts.”

“Keep investigating!”

After Rayan left, Maxim became more and more irritable. He couldn’t concentrate on the documents in his hand.

At night, when Briana returned to the villa in the north of the city, it had been past midnight.

Briana barely prompted herself to open the door. As soon as she walked in, she lost all her energy and fell straight to the ground.

Suddenly, an arm supported her waist. Briana wanted to open her eyes to see who helped her, but her eyelids felt so heavy.

One second before she completely lost consciousness, Briana thought she had heard a sigh.

Waking up again, Briana found that her wound had been bandaged. She managed to sit up, put on pajamas, and slowly walked out.

As soon as she walked downstairs, Briana broke out in sweat.

She heard something from the kitchen. When she was about to walk over, she saw Hector coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of chicken soup.

When Hector saw Briana, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly put down the soup in his hand and walked to Briana to support her.

“The doctor said you need to rest…”

Before Hector finished speaking, a dagger was pressed against his neck.

“Why are you here?”

Briana’s voice was cold, not as gentle as before.

She had told Hector last time not to come again. It couldn’t be a coincidence that he appeared here right after she was injured last night.
