Shannon’s voice came through the phone. “Eugene, I just saw Azalea putting some sleeping pills in my water. I didn’t drink it. Afterward, I pretended to fall asleep to observe her actions. She left the house while I pretended to be knocked out. What should I do now? Should I follow her?”
Eugene’s pupils contracted. “Follow her and see what she’s up to. Don’t let her notice you.” Olivia added, “Ask Shannon to purchase a bug and discreetly place it in the room for future surveillance.
He conveyed Olivia’s suggestion to Shannon, who acknowledged it before ending the call and quickly setting off to chase after Azalea.
Meanwhile, Azalea had just left the house. She attempted to call the three assassins multiple times today, but none were answered. She suspected the men might have been arrested and decided not to contact them further.
Consequently, she disposed of the SIM card by cutting it and flushing it down the toilet. The phone number was registered under Cameron’s identity card, so no one could trace her whereabouts. Earlier on, he had sent her a message saying he had brought her trusted subordinates from Nambahd.
Initially, she had no intention of involving her associates because it would be challenging to shift the blame if Eugene discovered her involvement. However, the incompetence of the assassins from Samuel Court, who failed to apprehend three children, left her with no choice but to take matters into her own hands.
Therefore, she secretly put two sleeping pills in Shannon’s glass and waited for her to fall asleep before sneaking out. Then, she found a car and went to a private restaurant. In a private room, seven or eight big men rose to greet her warmly upon her arrival. “Princess.”
Azalea smiled and said, “I’ve been looking forward to seeing you all.” She greeted each of them with a hug, appearing friendly. The men began to exchange pleasantries. “Princess, we’ve missed you so much.”
“Yes. You only brought Cameron with you this time. We were all worried about you.” She smiled warmly. “I was worried that being together would attract too much attention, but things have changed. We can be together from now on.”
One of the men said, “Cameron informed us of your clever plan, and you managed to create a rift between Eugene and Olivia. If that’s the case, taking him down shouldn’t be difficult.”
After taking a seat, Azalea let out a helpless sigh. “Things aren’t going as smoothly as I hoped. Eugene cares so much about Olivia that he can’t even see me. Last time, when things escalated on the Internet, he just resolved everything with explanations.”
The man continued, “Then, use the debt of gratitude against him as an excuse to take care of you and live in his house. That way, you’ll have the most opportunities to develop a relationship by being close to each other day and night. Gradually, you can sideline Olivia.”
Cameron glared at the man and said, “Is it that easy? Living in his house? He already has a girlfriend, and they don’t even live together. How could he just let her move in? You know how heartless that man can be. If he had given her any chance, she wouldn’t have had to chase after him to Summer City.”
The man seemed to realize the difficulties as well. “Well, in that case, let’s make Olivia disappear.” Cameron added, “She’s skilled and has covert protection. It won’t be that easy for her to vanish.”
As they continued to discuss, there was a sudden knock on the private room door. Frowning, Azalea responded, “Come in.”
A waiter entered with a tray. “Hello, your dishes are ready to serve.” On it were two dishes; he placed the tray on the table and served the first dish under their watchful eyes. “Stir-fried shrimps.”
Later, as he turned around to serve the second dish, he discreetly attached a button-sized object to the underside of the table…
