Jake was sure Thomas would die should he show up. He spent six hundred million just to kill him, and he waved his underling away. “Alright, get back to work.”

The Yams and Xalmars had no idea about his plan. The families might be allied on the surface, but they were fighting among themselves, scheming and plotting to gain more ground. They wouldn’t even have banded together if it weren’t for Thomas being too much of a threat.

Jake, however, didn’t put his faith in the alliance as he would take revenge into his own hands. Telling the other two families might backfire, seeing that they might sabotage him. Not even his brother knew of this plan, let alone the other families.

“Yes, sir.” The man left the office and realized his back was drenched with sweat. This can’t go on, or he’s going to find out I’ve been disobeying his orders. I need to make sure Thomas knows about this.

He whipped out his phone and called his underling. “Tell Chloe that her mother’s ashes were stolen.”

The man’s boss was the leader of the famous Hind Family. Anyone who crossed Jake would be wiped off the face of the earth without a hitch, yet this time, Jake went through so many hoops just to get at Chloe and Thomas. That was proof that Chloe and Thomas were not to be trifled with. If his boss needed to be careful with them, then he had to be even more careful. I’ll just let the underlings deliver the message. I don’t want to die just yet.

An hour later, his underling came back with news. “There’s no one at her house, boss.”

“It’s deserted?” The man frowned. Where could she be? “Just take that letter along and stake out the place. Once they come back, give it to them, but make sure you’re not seen. And make sure they see the letter,” said the man.

“Yes, boss.”
