Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 

Peggy’s gaze trembled, and her complexion turned pale. The restroom’s ventilation window was open, Indicating that someone had escaped. She realized that person must have been the assassin Cameron mentioned. 

The window was nearly three meters high and covered with privacy film. It was designed to prevent peeping. It was unreachable for an ordinary person. 

“Did you open that window, Cameron?” Peggy asked as she turned to Cameron. 

“No,” Cameron shook his head. Peggy’s face grew even paler at his response. 

She was sure the window had been closed when she entered, as she had made a point to check. The thought that a deadly assassin had been hiding in the restroom all along sent shivers down her spine. She was grateful Cameron had arrived. Otherwise, she might have been in danger. 

“Cameron, what should we do now?” Peggy asked fearfully. She was, after all, just a civilian and dreaded being targeted by an assassin so soon after her last kidnapping ordeal. 

“Tell Ms. Jones about this and advise her to leave immediately. Then, ask her to stay in the hotel and avoid going out for the next few days,” Cameron instructed gravely. “And you should leave here as soon as possible, too.” 

With the assassin’s whereabouts unknown, ensuring Laura and her team’s safety meant urging them. to leave quickly. Cameron would take on the responsibility of finding the assassin. Judging by the lingering scent, Cameron assumed the assassin had just gone and was likely still nearby. 

“Wait, you’re not going to leave me here alone, are you?” Peggy hurried after Cameron in her high heels. She appeared visibly scared. “Don’t be so petty. I didn’t even say too much about you earlier…” 

The area was deserted. She couldn’t imagine what would happen if the assassin suddenly appeared. Cameron was her only support at the moment. 

“Peggy, do I look like someone who holds grudges? I’m just going to look for the assassin,” Cameron replied with a resigned smile. To ease Peggy’s worries, he added, “Don’t worry, the assassin isn’t in this building anymore and won’t return soon. Call Ms. Jones and ask her to come down so you can leave together. And inform Otis about this so that he can stay vigilant.” 

While the assassin’s skills were inferior to Otis’s, Cameron thought it was better for him to be cautious. The enemy was hidden while they were exposed. As for the matter from seven years ago, Cameron felt it could wait, and dealing with the assassin was his priority. 

“Actually, Ms. Jones and Otis just went to the parking lot. We planned to leave anyway, but I came here to change my stockings after they got snagged. And, well, to use the restroom,” Peggy said, her cheeks flushing slightly. Everyone had emergencies, after all. 

“Uh…” Cameron felt a bit awkward. 

“So…” Peggy bit her lower lip gently and looked at Cameron. “Could you… Maybe walk me to the
