Chapter 1082

The back entrance of the orphanage.

A black Maybach pulled quietly to the curb, headlights already off, blending into the shadows.

Moments later, a furtive figure darted out from the rear exit and slipped into the back seat.

"Ms. Alexia, apologies for keeping you waiting." The woman's tone was deferential, hands folded in her lap.

Alexia lounged back in the seat, one leg crossed over the other, exuding an air of cool superiority. Without so much as glancing at the newcomer, she held out a

thick manila envelope.

"You did well this morning."

The woman took the envelope, running her fingers over its hefty weight. A grin stretched across her face. "Just snipped a brake line. Hardly any trouble at all."

Alexia didn't bother to hide her disdain, her eyes fixed on the darkness outside.

"And the information I asked for? All the volunteers and staff at this orphanage- did you get it?"

"Of course, Ms. Alexia! I've been working here for over a decade. This was nothing." Eager to please, the woman fished a stack of documents from her bag and placed them in Alexia's hands.
