Chapter 771

That night, The Velvet Haven was abuzz with whispers and shadowy movements.

Elsie guided Hans through the dimly lit, opulent corridors of the establishment. The man trailing behind her was as silent and foreboding as a bat in the night, sending shivers up her spine

In a highly discreet room, Avery had been waiting for some time.

Yet he restrained himself and simply said with a light chuckle, “Hans, the fact that we’re meeting tonight means Sir approves of my plan. You just need to cooperate.
