Jack was beyond shocked. He couldn't have imagined that one of his servants would try to attack him. It didn't even make any sense…He stood frozen in place, forgetting how to move. Brandon immediately jumped in the line of the pistol, trying to save the boss’s life. He wouldn't get to the servant in time, so this was the best thing to do.The gunshot was ear-splitting, blending into the gunfire afar. Jack swallowed hard, thinking that Brandon had been shot again. He was holding two pistols, but it took him a split second to react. When he recovered, Brandon was already on the ground. That was when his eyes widened, a flood of relief washing over him. It almost drowned him.Jane stood behind the servant, holding his hand up into the air. She'd deflected the gunshot this way, making him shoot into empty air. A single chop with her backhand to the back of his neck sent him crashing to the ground.She immediately rolled, pulling out her revolver. More gunshots came from the servants’ qua

The sun peeked through the clouds, casting an orange hue upon the Neuman estate. The pools of blood glistened under the sunlight, becoming redder than usual. The corpses lay on the ground as a testament to the failed assassination attempt. It was already morning.Sirens wailed as police sedans rolled into the Neuman estate. Jane Foyers had reported an assassination attempt a few minutes ago. Several cops hurried out of the vehicles cautiously. They were armed to the teeth, looking more like soldiers than cops. They spread across the entire place, setting up crime tapes to cordon off the press… They'd soon be here any moment from now.There were several casualties, but a few people were alive, even though they were conscious. The police officers immediately restrained them as they recovered, rounding them up into the sedans.An ambulance and a van arrived a few moments later. The van’s back doors flew open as the forensic team stepped out. They began taking data captures of the entire

James Whitefield was watching TV when he saw the news. At first his lips were curled up into a victorious smile, his chin slightly raised. The Underground Synagogue infiltrated the Neuman family estate as planned.But as he continued watching the news, his lips slowly dropped. His shoulders sagged as he slumped into the couch, defeated.“This can't be…” he muttered to himself with twitching fingers. “They took at least twenty men to kill those mercenaries… They took five high-ranking ones to kill Margaret…”His breath caught. The attack had failed. He'd failed to assassinate the heir of the Neuman Empire. Not only that, but he'd also lost his spy in the Neuman family.Jane Foyers and Brandon Kruger had killed Edward and the other servants. There was no way he'd know what was happening within the Neuman family anymore.“It was supposed to work…” His voice quaked, like a dying wheeze. “Nothing was supposed to go wrong…”He swallowed hard and clenched his fists. It seemed as if Jane and

Margaret and Kate were chatting in the sitting room, bright smiles on their faces. It was already evening, and the sun hung low on the horizon. A crimson hue painted the surroundings, giving it an aesthetic look. “Jane cornered James with that statement,” Kate said. “I can't believe she's not only cold, but sly.” “Why do you think my brother employed her?” Margaret asked. “I mean, she graduated with a first-class degree in Finance and Corporate Law.” “Yeah,” Kate said. “She's really good. If I were to become the boss’s personal assistant, I wouldn't be able to pull off something like that. It makes her look like an undefeatable heroine.” She paused and looked around, as if she was about to gossip. Then she added, “The only downside is that she seems emotionless. The only time I see a hint of emotion is when she's around Boss.” “That's what love is all about, Kate.” Margaret nodded slowly. “Love changes people in ways you can't imagine. I mean, take a look at my brother. He always
