Chapter 371

Over here, Elvis had already dealt with the two foreigners, including the feeble bodyguards who were no match for him. He had beaten them till they ended up with bloody noses and swollen faces and locked them up in the compartment of the restroom, even hanging a ‘Do Not Disturb‘ sign outside the door.

They were all so weak, hardly enough to warm him. up.

However, he couldn’t make a big scene. He had to finish the job quickly. After all, they were in Elmsworth, not abroad. Considering his status, he couldn’t be too conspicuous.

As Elvis left the nightclub, he received a call from Arnold.

“All sorted out, Arnold. You can relax and enjoy your time with your girlfriend. They won’t be bothering you anymore.” He said, yawning out of boredom

“She’s not my girlfriend, so cut the crap!” Arnold’s tone suggested that his mood was far from good, sounding rather grumpy.

“What, you think I’m stupid or blind? The way you played the knight in shining armor tonight, and how the girl knew your name, even throwing herself into your arms. It’s pretty clear you two are more than just friends.”

Elvis whistled, “What’s there to be ashamed of? Dating isn’t something to be embarrassed about. Or are you planning to stay single till forty and be dubbed an old bachelor?” “Elvis, do me a favor.”

Arnold took a deep breath, “Look into that two guys who caused trouble for Camille tonight for me. We’ve only solved half of the problem. I’m afraid they’ll target her again in a few days.”

“I’ve thought of that too. I’ve checked, and those two don’t have much influence in Elmsworth. They’re just top brass of a foreign construction company.”

“Construction company?”

“Yeah, your girlfriend sure has a wide range of contacts.”

Elvis chuckled, “I’ll have some juicy gossip to share with Evadne tonight!”

“If you don’t want to upset Evadne, don’t mention anything about tonight to her.”

Arnold’s voice took on a somber tone, “Camille is Evadne’s best friend. If you tell her about this, it’ll only make her worry. She won’t even get a good night’s sleep.” Elvis was taken aback, “Well, well, well! What a small world!”

“Shut up! I’m hanging up!”

With that, Arnold really did hang up the phone.

Elvis chuckled, then took out a sleek, palm–sized ultra–thin notebook computer from his pocket, a device with a cutting–edge piece of technology every senior special agent had, which was almost impossible to come by domestically.

On this device, he could look up a lot of information.

So, he checked the license plate number of the luxury car.

The answer came quickly.

“A car under the Chambers Group? Interesting.”

Elvis looked at the results, thinking of that face that looked so much like Evadne’s, his eyes slightly narrowing, “Ms. Archer, whose side are you really on? Matthew? Byron? Or Avery?”

Arnold took Camille back to his house in Elmsworth.

The prestigious son of the Ashbourne family actually didn’t have his own villa in Elmsworth. He lived in a flat with simple decorations, which was quite unexpected for Camille.
