Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 1379

As Colt was about to push open the wrought iron gate, Harold stepped in, saying, "Hold on, we can't just barge in!" Colt paused, his hand hovering over the gate. Harold moved forward and explained, "The Aldridge estate might seem deserted, but its security is top-notch. Forcing this gate open would set off the alarms in no time. Plus, there are all sorts of traps inside. Trigger one by accident, and we're in for a world of trouble."

With that, Harold used facial recognition and a passcode to unlock the gate. Even though he'd left the Aldridge family, being the heir had its perks-this gate couldn't keep him out. Seeing Harold's ease reassured Joseph, who had been anxious about the possibility of a trap now that the Aldridge family seemed to have vanished.

With such a sophisticated security system, anyone trying to break in would only end up regretting it. Once Harold had the gate open, he advised, "Stick with me. If you set off some hidden alarm or something goes wrong, don't expect me to save you."

Trusting Harold's judgment, Joseph signaled to his men to follow suit. As they finally stepped into the grand hall of the Burke Estate, they were blown away by its true splendor. The Burke Estate had always been cloaked in mystery, mainly because it was so exclusive. Seeing it with their own eyes, they realized just how wealthy the estate really was.
