A Film Queen

Chapter 352

She was puzzled as Milly trailed behind the guy ahead. Hadn’t they just shooed her away?

Now, why were they summoning her back?

Typically, kidnappers nab someone, stash them to the side, and hunker down for the ransom, right?

So what was up with them seeking her out again now?

With a storm of questions raging, Milly followed the goon back to the previously occupied room.

There, Nimbus was perched in his usual spot in front of the couch, leisurely enjoying some tea, while Raiden marched back and forth next to him, clearly agitated, phone in hand:

“That Smith guy, I swear! His favourite hobby must be throwing threats my way! He really thinks he can scare me? As if! Acting all high and mighty just because he’s in with the Boss and his right-hand man. Big deal! He’s not getting anywhere near being the sect leader without my say-so! Just you watch; one of these days, I’m going to make him regret messing with me!”

Her heart unexpectedly leapt as Milly caught the name “Smith” being thrown around.

Her mind raced – her foster parents and Leon were all back in Maldonia, like this Ghost Sect’s headquarter. Could this “Smith” be one of the Smiths?

But then she reconsidered; it seemed too far-fetched. “Smith” wasn’t an uncommon name there, and her Smiths were straightforward, decent folks.

The likelihood of them being mixed up with the Ghost Sect seemed slim.
