Chapter 588: Boris Pace

Jared presented his credentials, prompting a flicker of surprise and then respect mixed with confusion in the man's eyes. "Director, please come in," the man said as he opened the grand doors, ushering Jared inside.

Tina glanced back, not expecting the gatekeeper to be so closely tied to the X Bureau or to know Jared's identity. Once inside the estate, Jared drove for over ten minutes before stopping the car.

As Tina stepped out with Jared, two individuals approached, holding black cloth bags and brand-new detectors-devices Tina recognized as Paula's latest invention, not yet officially released. The Pace family's security already had one each. "Sorry, but you need to leave all electronic devices, like phones and cameras, here," they were informed. Jared tossed his phone, wallet, and even his watch into the bag and spread his arms for the security to scan him with the detector. Tina did the same, discarding her watch too.

After the check, a security guard led Jared and Tina through the real gates of the Pace family home. They passed through several corridors until Tina saw a tall set of steps leading to the Pace family's living quarters. She sighed silently; the security was as thorough as going through an airport.

Jared gently squeezed Tina's hand, whispering just loud enough for her to hear, "Mr. Pace's rules may be many, but he's a good man. Don't worry, he's not some weirdo."

Tina chuckled. "Good to know, or we'd have too many oddballs around us."

They smiled at each other and walked through the doors of the Pace family home. To Tina's surprise, the person who greeted them was Rachel.

"Tina, it's you!"

Tina looked Rachel up and down, astonished to find her here.

Behind Rachel, a man said, "Boris, let me introduce you. This is my grandfather's granddaughter Tina, and her fiancé, Jared. Tina and I were college friends with Boris. We're here to visit Mr. Pace today; your grandfather specifically asked me to spend time with Mr. Pace."
