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.

“Hans, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon,” Avery said, his smile spreading across his face as he handed Hans a glass of fine red wine. “You must be weary from your journey. I’ve prepared this top–shelf vintage especially for you.”

Hans‘ features were stern, and he deflected the wine glass without blinking, showing no courtesy to the man who represented Sir in Elmsworth,

Seeing Hans‘ refusal to drink, Avery took a sip himself, demonstrating his flexibility. “Is that so? Then I suppose I can skip the formalities.”

But Hans didn’t care. He was Sir’s man and only followed Sir’s orders.

featured face began to contort with barely concealed rage, his knuckles whitening as he gripped his wine glass. 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.
