Janessa paused for a moment, then added, “Actually, there’s something else I need to ask of you. I won’t get into the details now. I’ll tell you when the time comes.”

After saying that, Janessa happily left.

Madelyn watched her retreating figure, a sly smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

In that case, all we can do is wait and see, right?

At that time, in the study, Sebastian was engrossed in his work, his face expressionless, subtly radiating an air of indifference. His deep–set eyes reflected a chilling intensity due to his focus, and his entire demeanor exuded unparalleled nobility.

He held a fountain pen in his slender and handsome fingers, poised above a contract that had already been reviewed. With effortless grace, he dropped a signature onto the page. It was attractive and artistically designed, exuding a casual yet chic flair.

At that moment, the phone on the table suddenly began to ring.

The name Malcolm popped up on the screen. Upon seeing it, Sebastian immediately answered the call.

As soon as he held the phone up to his ear, Malcolm on the other end began to apologize incessantly.

“Mr. Lockhart, I’m sorry,” he began, “The person you asked me to tail that night… I was halfway through when they suddenly spotted me. Then, they managed to shake us off…”

Malcolm hastily said, “However, Mr. Lockhart, we think we’ve identified someone. That person seems to be named something like Adelar.”

Upon hearing these words, Sebastian was slightly taken aback.

Of course, he knew about Adelar.

Adelar, the top assassin on the international hit list, had been sought after by countless big shots who wanted to buy his loyalty. Yet, Adelar didn’t accept anyone’s money. He served solely for a foreign arms tycoon, simply because this tycoon had once saved his life.

As for that arms tycoon, perhaps the average person wouldn’t know who he was, but Sebastian was well
