Chapter 392

Mid-Level Mountain Garden was not close to Kitmore University at all

It was raining again, making driving difficult..

When Athena arrived at Joy's door, it was already 11 at night.

Athena calmly knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and Joy, surprised by the late visit, asked, "What brings you here at this hour?

With a smart person, there was no need for subtle or roundabo approaches.

Athena went straight to the point. I'm here to pick up Arthur and Alaric Joy looked puzzled. "I don't know who you're talking about. Did you find the Athena looked at her. "What do I have to do to make you hand them over?" e wrong place?"

Joy stepped aside and gestured inside. "Since you don't believe me, how about searching for them yoursel Athena stared at her for a few more seconds. "Sure, thank you. I'll find them myself."

Athena walked past Joy, checking each room one by one.

The place was small enough that a single glance took it all in.

After a brief look around, Athena did not see any trace of Arthur or Alaric, nor any evidence they had been there at all.

Joy stood with her arms crossed, leaning casually against the doorframe of the study. "You've seen the place. Now, you leave."

Standing away from Joy with her hands in the pockets of her trench coat, Athena stared at Joy and said, "Since speaking nicely doesn't seem to work, I guess we'll have to make a deal." Joy smirked. "A deal? I don't need anything from you."

Athena said calmly, "You seem so confident-relying on your powerful connections, aren't you? But remember, powerful as you may be, this is my territory, and I'm no ordinary local" Joy's expression shifted to mild amusement. "Oh? From your words, you know my background now?"

"Of course. The Rose family," Athena replied coolly. They may be powerful, but I've never had a reason to fear anyone-and your standing with them isn't exactly secure, is it?"

Joy's eyes narrowed as Athena continued, "If you push me too far, I could take this straight to the Rose family. You know the consequences."

Joy's expression finally changed when she heard the words "the Rose family.

Her once carefree demeanor vanished, and her elegant face seemed shadowed by a thin veil of darkness.

"What Rose family?" she asked, a trace of irritation in her voice. Do you seriously think you can trip me up with a fake story?
