Chapter 364 63

By the time they reached Waston, it was already evening. The car stopped in front of the presidential palace, where many branches of the trees had been trimmed. The asphalt was very dark, and raindrops splashed underfoot when walking on it. The guard at the entrance came forward and removed all electronic devices and firearms from Ophelia and Caleb, just like last time.

Although Xander allowed Ophelia to bring someone with her, with the security level at the presidential palace, if anyone really wanted to harm her, she wouldn't have any way to resist. "Ms. Spencer, this way please." The butler led them to the back of the palace.

The overall style here made it look like a traditional scholar's residence.

However, the inside gave off a completely different vibe.

The walls were over ten feet high without windows, surrounded by gray and white soundproof walls. It looked a bit like an interrogation room, but more spacious. It was more like a large parlor. The sky outside had already darkened, but the lights inside were glaringly bright, making it feel like daytone. They cast a stark white glow over the walls that made people a bit dizzy. "Please wait a moment, Ms. Spencer," the butler said politely before he stepped out.

Ophelia could clearly feel that the butler's attitude toward her was very different from last time.

The door was closed, followed by a "click" as the lock snapped into place.

Then Ophelia turned her head and saw a wire drop outside the door.

"What does this mean?" Caleb frowned and strode forward. His usually loud voice was suddenly almost inaudible in the

room.

"What do you mean by this?! Are you keeping us here? Somebody! Let us out!" Caleb yelled toward the door.

But there was no response from outside, not even a sound of footsteps.

"Mrs. Sinclair..." Caleb turned to look at Ophelia anxiously and frowned.

He thought, 'Were we set up? I didn't expect Mr. West to trick us here like this.'

Yet Ophelia remained calm as ever. She sat on the white leather sofa, looked at the cold coffee in front of her, picked it up, and smelt it. Suddenly, she looked up at the white camera in the upper right corner of the room sharply.

A sneer appeared on her beautiful face.
