Chapter 279

They drove to the villa district in the city center. The moment they stepped into Ashton’s villa, just like at Moonspring Estate, all signals throughout the building disappeared.

This left their secret followers baffled and furious.

No one knew how many secrets the group had uncovered from Brody after spending the entire day at the villa.

However, judging by the wide smiles on Ashton’s and Briar’s faces as they left the villa, it was clear their efforts had been fruitful.

Moreover, the most unsettling part was that the two people who had sneaked into Ashton’s villa were never heard from again, even after Ashton and the others returned home.

They vanished without a trace.

On winter nights in Shoneport, the moonlight seemed dimmer and less white.

After dinner, Frank was picked up by Connor.

Ian and Brandon remained at the villa.

As night fell, the outside world was quiet and peaceful, while the villa was warm and harmonious.

Only the courtyard lamps were on, illuminating layers of white frost.

At two in the morning, a time when people were most tired, the lights in the villa slowly went out.

From the outside, the entire villa seemed to be in a deep slumber.
