Chapter 300

Turning the corner, Julie suddenly crashed into Kieran, her heart instantly settling at his familiar presence. She inhaled the comforting scent that clung to him, hugging him tightly.

“It’s okay now,” he assured her, wrapping her in his comforting embrace.

Julien furrowed brows in concern, “Did you finish the task? Why are you so scared?”

“Fi… finished,” Julie panted, “I ran into… the man who kidnapped me last time… he’s in this building.”

“The one who took you to the island?” Julien asked.

Julie nodded. Every time she encountered that man, she felt like a mouse cornered by a cat, terrified of being devoured alive.

“The phone that man left behind last time didn’t have any useful information,” Kieran reported.

“Let’s go. I want to see the face of the man who dared to kidnap you!” Julien’s tone was icy.

Julie admired Julien greatly, but that man truly struck fear into her heart. She had barely escaped alive from their last encounter.

While Julie and Julien were talking, Kenton’s phone suddenly rang.

Flavia peeked at the email that had arrived and tugged on Julien’s sleeve, “Our guest has arrived. We’re going to meet him. We’ll be back soon!”

“Who’s so important?” Julien asked casually. Curiosity sparked in Julie as well. Who could be so important that Flavia and Kenton had to personally meet them?

Flavia explained, “You’ve probably heard of him.”

Kenton added, “Interestingly, you have a closer connection to him, Hayden.”

“Connection? What do you mean?” This was the second time Hayden had spoken that evening.

Kenton continued, “Miles. Back when Miles was still your nominal father, he had quite a few dealings with this family.”

“Fitzgerald?” Julien blurted out.

Flavia nodded, “Yes, the Fitzgeralds.”

“The Fitzgerald family has a lot of history with Miles. But with his death, their grudges seem to have faded,” Kenton explained. “But today we’re meeting Simon, the next in line to inherit the Fitzgerald estate. I think you may have heard of him.”
