The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Early the next morning, Stella, who had a restless night, pulled Howard aside and asked, “What’s going on? Why haven’t the men who went out last night returned yet?”

Last night, after their men left, she had been eagerly awaiting them to bring her good news.

However, as she waited and waited, no one returned. Gradually, she became restless, barely getting any sleep.

Clearly unbothered by the matter, Howard yawned and responded in a nonchalant tone.

“I’m not sure, but with so many people, taking down the Gordon family would definitely be more than enough. They might still be dealing with the corpses right now. They’ll probably be back soon.”

Stella, however, was still worried. “How can they be more than enough? Although Neera is a burden, the people around her are not to be underestimated. Shane is difficult to deal with, and the Cox family has provided five people. Could something unexpected have happened?”

She was worried that the men she sent out had gotten caught and would give her away. That would put her in a difficult situation.

Howard scoffed, dismissing the idea. “How could that be possible? Even with the Cox family’s help, the Gordon family can’t perform miracles. You should just wait and see.”

Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Stella’s brows furrowed slightly as she decided not to discuss it with him any further.

Nonetheless, she still couldn’t rest easy, so she simply sent out a scout to probe the situation.

Two hours later, after her anxious wait, the scout finally returned.

“How’s it going? What’s the situation with the Gordon family now? And our people, where are they now?”
