Chapter 453:

As she accepted the document Connor handed her, Marissa realized that he hadn’t intentionally kept information from her. He had been waiting for this document to arrive.

Eagerly, she tore open the envelope and extracted its contents. Contained within was a blueprint of a house. Glancing at the house’s name atop the page, she couldn’t help but whisper, “Skytop Mansion?”

“Yes,” Connor nodded. “You may have heard of it. It’s perched atop Mount Skytop in Bleberts’ western suburbs, 1500 meters above sea level, hence the name. Hardly anyone knows its owner. All they know is anyone who can afford such a place must be wealthy and influential.”
