Once Agnes stepped foot into the hotel, she made a beeline for the elevator.
She had been prepping for today, the day she planned to take Nocturne away.
She had Nate hack into the control system of Caesar International Hospital from afar.
And today, the hospital’s surveillance system was on the fritz.
The tech department of Caesar International Hospital was scrambling to troubleshoot.
But Agnes knew that Nate’s hacking chops wasn’t something you could just fix up easily.
Jared’s engagement party was set up in the banquet hall at the top of the building.
Agnes stopped at the top floor, but didn’t head to the banquet hall.
She took the fire escape straight to the rooftop.
Agnes had been to Caesar Hotel before, so she knew the lay of the land pretty well.
She had previously scoped out the location.
The rooftop was deserted.
Agnes walked to a suitable spot and pulled out a pair of binoculars.
From her spot, she could see everything happening in the banquet hall through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The banquet hall wasn’t far from where she was, just a hallway about a hundred meters long.
Agnes took a look around with her binoculars, there was no sign of Jared.
But she did spot Valeria, dressed in a champagne-colored gown, which was simple yet elegant.
Normally, she always seemed the picture of professionalism.
Today, she looked stunning.
But her demeanor still showed her sharp and efficient character.
It was Jared’s engagement party, but Agnes couldn’t spot Jared at the party.
Agnes was on edge, because according to Nocturne’s location, he was currently in the lounge next to the banquet hall.
