Chapter 120

“Shit,” Janet cursed lowly.

Danton called Andre away..

She didn’t know what would happen to Andre. But it was not too hard to guess. Judging by what she saw earlier in the back alley and the fearful look on Andre’s face

when he left, it must be something horrible.

Though frustrated, Janet could understand why Andre was reluctant to work with her.

He had lived in hell for too long, deprived of any right to be happy. So when she approached him with a hope to be free from all those miseries, he found it too good to be true.

And most importantly, they were on opposite sides.

He didn’t trust her.

Janet let out a frustrated, long sigh.

She needed some air to organize her thoughts.

So she walked away from the joyful crowd and headed towards the patio leading to the backyard garden.

Once she was outside, she leaned against the patio’s handrail and took a deep breath of the midnight air.

The air was cool and crisp. She could smell the perfume of flowers in the night breeze.

Everything was so peaceful and calm.

For a brief moment, she almost forgot that she was in her enemy’s camp.

Footsteps came from behind her back. Janet turned around and found Daran walking

over with two glasses of champagne.

He handed her one of the glasses and joined her leaning against the handrail.

“Tough kid?” he asked.

Janet took a sip and smiled bitterly, “Very. He doesn’t trust us at all. And honestly…I don’t blame him. Even his own men abuse him…for him, we must be worse.”

“Do you think he will tell Danton about what happened tonight?”

Janet shook her head, “No. He doesn’t trust us. But I can tell that he hates Danton even more. He will keep his mouth shut.”

“Good.”

Daran took her hand and gently squeezed it, “”Tonight we planted a seed in his heart. Now we will just have to wait for that seed to sprout one day,”
