Chapter 333: Want To Kill
The tremors from the explosion outside could be felt inside the private room and Talia was pulled to the floor by Vivian, along with Marcella.
"Keep your heads down... Cyril would be near... It seems like the security outside was the target of the explosion." Vivian put to words what Talia was thinking.
"Wh-who would do this?" Marcella was visibly trembling and Vivian hugged her.
"It doesn’t matter. But I am her target. When she enters, just stay under the table. I will handle her." Talia had a wild hunch that it could be Sophia. When she left from Northern Star, she vaguely heard Jordan talking to some woman. Talia guessed Jordan had resumed contact with Sophia and the ’he’ Jordan mentioned could be Sophia’s brother.
It could be Sophia... Or it could be someone else, but if they are here, they must be for her.
She didn’t want to involve the McAllister sisters in her fight and wanted to sneak a look outside. She couldn’t hear Mr. Ed anymore and she wondered if something happened to him during the blast now.
Please be safe. Sir Robert...
As she crawled to the front, she was stopped by Vivian. "Wait," Vivian whispered and pulled out a weapon from her purse. Talia was surprised to see how composed Vivian is during this entire ordeal.
Surely she is suited to be the next Countess of the Lockhart family!
They could hear footsteps approaching and Vivian gripped her weapon hard and crawled closer to the exit, but Talia stopped her. The three women with their heart beating in their throat, waited to see who arrives.
At that time, a sound of heavy footsteps of a staggering man was heard followed by the familiar voice, "Stop!"
