"You idiot. Did you really think I'd just stand here like a fool and wait for you to kill me?"
With a look of utter contempt and mockery toward Maeve, Nancy elegantly slid into a black sedan.
Before leaving, she ordered her bodyguards, "Leave no survivors. Starting tomorrow, Maeve Vance will cease to exist in Aethelburg."
She waved at Maeve through the car window.
"On the day Andres and I get married, I'll leave an invitation on your grave. Make sure to give us your blessing."
Maeve watched coldly as the car carrying Nancy sped away.
Charging toward her were Gideon, Mars, Deacon, and Quentin—The Four Guardians—leading their subordinates in a brutal assault.
In the blink of an eye, blood stained the deserted scrapyard...
Meanwhile, on the seventeenth floor of The Grand Horizon Hotel, Andres felt a sudden, inexplicable wave of panic.
Almost all the guests on the invitation list had arrived.
Everyone invited was a friend Andres genuinely acknowledged.
Corbin Shaw and Michael Perez were on the mandatory list.
Leonardo Salazar, Slade Thorne, and Jasper Jett were also honored guests tonight.
Ever since Michael had accepted the fact that Andres and Maeve were a couple, he had completely given up his feelings for her.
Not long ago, he had been sent out of the province for an official mission.
He was supposed to return after the new year, but because he executed the mission perfectly, he was back two months ahead of schedule.
"Such an important occasion today, so why haven't I seen my dear Maeve?"
Andres shot Michael a sharp glare.
"She is mine. She has absolutely nothing to do with you."
He checked the time. It had been two or three hours since Maeve's classes ended.
Before leaving the house that morning, he had suggested sending Murray to pick her up from school.
She had declined, saying she had other things to take care of and would be over later.
Corbin walked over with a glass of wine.
"Is the boss's wife not here yet?"
