Chapter 299

Kieran saw Julie’s text message, his expression morphing into a tight frown.

Flavia, noticing their troubled expressions, voiced her concern, “Can I be of any help?”

Julie looked up at Flavia, a small smile playing on her lips, “No, thank you.”

Flavia chuckled, “Well, you’re a friend of my sister, so that makes you a friend of mine.”

At this, Kenton, notorious famous wife-protector, nodded in agreement, “My wife’s got a point there.”

He then turned to Hayden, “Are you going to say anything or just continue being mute?”

“No.” Hayden replied, his tone cold and distant.

Flavia tugged at Kenton’s sleeve, a look that screamed ‘why are you provoking him?’ on her face.

Julien seemed to be oblivious to all the commotion.

Soon, another text message buzzed on Julie’s phone, this time from Zenith, “Julie, go alone. Leave the black box at room 2404. I promise you’ll be safe.”

“I’ll go,” Kieran offered, reaching for Julie’s phone, but she held onto it tightly, not handing over the black box.

Her phone rang again, another text from Zenith, “Ker, Trust me.”

Only Lucian called Kieran by that nickname, not even Amanda used it. Julie’s phone had been delivered just before the banquet by Zenith’s people.

She pried Kieran’s fingers off her phone, looking at him with a determined gaze, “If Zenith is Lucian, we have to trust him. We must trust him.”

The black box contained a USB drive, and if it were as safe as Zenith claimed, he could have delivered it himself or sent someone else. But he insisted Julie do it, indicating the importance and safety of her doing so, and the risk involved if anyone else did.

Kieran understood this.

Their argument over the text messages left the others confused.
