Chapter 1292
Nicholas said, "I'm not sure yet. Dealers are always tight-lipped. Besides, I'm using a fake identity. Even if theycan't hold up and give me away, those people probably won't be able to trace it back to me."
This was somewhat good news, and the anxiety in Phoebe's heart eased a little.
"That's good. You're quite clever. But those people are really useless. So many of them, and they still couldn't getthe job done!"
The thought that not only had she failed to eliminate Neera, but also implicated her own hired help, filled her withseething rage.
She instructed Nicholas to keep a close watch on any activity on Wind Chime Island and to report back to herimmediately if anything happened. Then, she hung up the phone.
Later that night, she simply couldn't fall asleep.
A sense of foreboding lingered, constantly hovering in her heart, stirring up an unsettling restlessness within her.
Meanwhile, a deeper sense of resentment filled her heart, consuming all her thoughts and emotions.
How is it that Neera is always so lucky?
What virtue or talent does such a despicable person possess to earn the protection of so many?
Why is her cousin always around, and even people from Lordsworth Estate are involved? Even when she's onvacation, there are people secretly protecting her. Why is this happening?
She couldn't bear it, she just couldn't bear it!
No matter what, she was determined to make that b*tch disappear completely!
It's not a big deal if I failed this time, there's always tomorrow. As long as I am still breathing, I won't let thewretch off easily no matter where she is!
...
It turned out, both Nicholas and Phoebe had oversimplified the matter.
That very night, the truth had already surfaced with crystal clarity.
After sharing the information he had found, Luna pointed in the direction of the villa and said, "Since LadyPhison is present, I won't go over. You guys go and report to My Lord."
Ian nodded, raising an eyebrow with a smile.
"It seems that we're not much use after not staying in Phison for a long time. When it comes down to the wire, westill have to rely on you."
With a casual air, Cloud sauntered over and slung his arm around Ian's shoulder, looking every bit the picture ofbrotherly camaraderie, chiming in agreement.
"Yeah, Luna, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, your skills have become so strong, andyou've become more authoritative. It seems that we will have to rely on your power in Phison."
Luna couldn't be bothered to argue with them. He gave them a sidelong glance and turned away.
Ian, Cloud, and Storm chuckled and shook their heads in amusement behind.
"This girl, she's still so hard to amuse..." novelbin
In no time, Ian returned to the villa and reported everything in detail.
"They said they were hired by a man named Seus through Dark Net. Their task was to... deal with Mrs. Beauvort.If you pose a threat, they will deal with you as well. They are absolutely not to allow Mrs. Beauvort to leaveWind Chime Island alive."
Jean had anticipated this outcome long ago. He scoffed coldly, "Well, your appetite is quite large, wanting to taketwo at once.
"They bite off more than they can chew."
Neera would rather not believe that the other party's intentions were so malicious, a cloud of gloom shrouded herradiant face.
"Who is this Seus, not his real identity, right? I don't recall ever meeting such a person, let alone having anygrudge against him."
Ian nodded, "Madam, your insight is commendable. We have investigated throughout Phison for anyone namedSeus, but none could possibly be linked to today's night raid. Later, Storm got TorrentCloud to attack Dark Net,and following the trail, we discovered the true identity of this Seus. He is actually a man named Nicholas. He wasonce a trader in Freo Market but was eventually bought out completely, severing his ties with Freo Market. And
the person who bought him... was Phoebe Cox."
In accordance with the rules in Freo Market, the identity of the buyer is to be kept confidential.
However, these rules meant nothing to Jean.
No matter how deeply hidden the truth he sought may be, he always had a way to unearth it.
Upon hearing Phoebe's name, Neera was first taken aback, then seemed somewhat dazed.
Before she knew the truth, she had suspected many other families. She had run through anyone of them who hadever had a conflict with the Gordon family in her mind.
But she never imagined that the puppet master behind the scenes would actually be someone from the Cox family.
Why would Phoebe be so ruthless towards me?
Aside from the last encounter at the Cox's residence, where the woman was indeed quite unfriendly towards her,there hadn't been any friction between them.
Moreover, no matter how she looked at it, the Gordon family and the Cox family had a good relationship. Sheeven sent people to help the Cox family instead of watching over the fence. Why then does Phoebe still treat meso maliciously?
She just couldn't understand.
"Could there be some kind of misunderstanding here? I've only met Phoebe once, even if she dislikes me, would
she really despise me to this extent? She actually hires so many people just to get rid of me? What is she after?"
Jean was somewhat surprised by the results of this investigation.
Ian actually knew some inside information.
Rumor had it that Phoebe was not the biological daughter of the third elder of the Cox family. More than a decadeago, Albert's wife passed away, and his daughter also died at a young age. This dealt a heavy blow to him. Phoebewas an orphan he adopted because she bore a slight resemblance to his deceased daughter.
