Chapter 721

By the time I rushed over, I saw someone sneaking away from the mountaintop villa.

I scrambled out of the car and hurried into the living room, only to find Michael and his black-clad bodyguards standing there.

I let out a breath in relief, massaging my temples.

Michael turned around and looked at me. "I'm not as stupid as you think. This is my house-there are surveillance cameras every 30 feet here, and every blind spot on the mountain is covered."

I said nothing and glanced over to Ashton and Xan, who were hiding in the corner. They were both holding a fruit knife in hand as they blocked the stairway.

It was as if they were Steven's final line of defense, even though they were clearly no match for others. Amused, I walked over to ruffle their hair. Xan obediently allowed me, while Ashton defiantly huffed and looked away.
