Kidnapped by Benjamin Bright and brought here like this.
And explicitly named as a gift for Miss Vance.
Given how often Miss Vance had made her hatred for the Grover family known.
Piecing everything together, a wild theory formed in Murray's mind.
This whole spectacle was likely orchestrated by Miss Vance herself.
If he blindly disrupted her master plan, would she hold a deadly grudge against him?
In less than three seconds, a million thoughts raced through Murray's head.
Consequently, the heavy wooden lid that was about to be lifted was violently slammed back down.
The sheer force of the impact nearly shattered Nancy's eardrums.
The crowd of onlookers was thoroughly bewildered by Murray's actions.
Even Andres had no idea what his subordinate was doing, frowning as he reiterated his command.
"Open it!"
Murray's face was dead serious.
"Boss, I strongly believe we should wait for Miss Vance to arrive and open it herself."
It wasn't that he wanted to defy his boss.
It was that if he let Andres open the box and Maeve found out, it could severely damage their relationship.
Murray's intuition screamed that Nancy Grover absolutely could not be set free by his boss.
Benjamin flashed a wicked grin.
"You've raised a truly loyal dog, Andres."
Andres felt the situation becoming more bizarre by the second.
Being led around by the nose like this only deepened his burning curiosity about whoever was inside.
Pushing Murray aside, Andres reached for the heavy wooden lid himself.
A cold voice echoed from the entrance.
"Are you sure you want to open my gift for me, Whitty?"
Maeve's voice cut through the room.
The guests were equally stunned, unable to comprehend how a lavish birthday party had morphed into a horror scene.
As one of Maeve's closest friends, Jasper was the first to snap out of his shock.
He grabbed Hans, lowering his voice to deliver rapid-fire orders.
"Lock down all hotel entrances immediately. No suspicious individuals leave or enter."
"Wipe all security footage from the surrounding areas."
"If someone captures her on camera looking like this, the legal fallout will be endless."
As a top-tier legal elite, Jasper knew exactly how to destroy evidence at a moment's notice.
Hans immediately understood and rushed off with the security detail to sanitize the scene.
Naomi stepped out from the crowd, her eyes filled with deep concern.
Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Maeve raised a hand to silence her.
Benjamin took the opportunity to claim his credit.
"I brought the exact gift you requested, Maeve."
