Chapter 280

Before Elian left, he glanced at Miranda, tugging his lips, his voice softening. "Wifey, why don't you enjoy yourself for a bit?"

Miranda was left speechless. Was he getting a bit too comfortable with that?

Hannah wanted to say something but held her tongue. Sebastian didn't utter a word, but just strode off toward the shooting range.

Watching him leave, Elian finally turned and followed, a cold smile playing on his lips. Once they were out of sight, Hannah found her voice.

"They... they..." she stammered, pointing first at Elian and then at Sebastian. Miranda walked over to the ammo station. "To be honest, I barely know them." Hannah scurried to keep up. "Then why does Mr. Elian Ashcroft call you..."

Miranda cut her off, "He's just got a big mouth."

Hannah was at a loss. Honestly, whether it was in Virell or Zephra, Miranda was probably the only one daring enough to speak of Mr. Elian Ashcroft like that.

In the surveillance room, Timothy couldn't help but give Mr. Ashcroft a thumbs-up as he watched Miranda and Hannah alone on the screen.

"Brilliant," he praised. Truly, the older, the wiser.

Yet, the speed at which Elian appeared was astonishing. Did he fly over here or what? That was just insanely fast.
