“Ms. Garland?” Greta repeated, for she realized that Winnie did not reply to her.

Indeed, Winnie was silent for a few seconds as she did not expect Zyon to be there. However, she soon made a decision.

“Greta, are you confident? If you’re not confident about getting a good aim from this distance, let’s not alert them to our plan first.”

Winnie’s voice was steady, and there was no trace of panic to be heard from it.

In confidence, Greta replied, “No problem. Once he gets out of the car, I’ll be able to fire the perfect shot from my position.”

“Good.” Winnie had trust in Greta’s ability as a sniper. “I’ll leave him to you, then.”

Upon giving out the order, she quickly ran up to the second floor with Mason and the others.

Thanks to the information given by Greta earlier, Winnie easily found the room Jacinta and Rachel were in.

Their entrance had been so sudden that Jacinta nearly leaped in fright.

Nevertheless, the elderly woman was quick to come back to her senses. She happily stepped forward and held Winnie’s hand before exclaiming, “Winnie, Chris said that we’ll be able to meet soon, but I never thought you’d come so soon! We can leave right now, right?”

“Not yet.” Winnie lifted her index finger to her lips, signaling Jacinta not to talk for the moment.

She then explained, “Zyon suddenly came over, and he has more men than us. We can’t dash out just like this.”

With that said, she strode toward the window.

Jacinta had drawn the curtains closed previously, so it was now convenient for Winnie to discreetly observe the situation downstairs.

However, after she carefully made a small gap between the curtains to look out, she noticed that Zyon was still in his car. It seemed like he was discussing something with the person sitting beside him.

Still, Winnie could not be certain how long Zyon would stay in his car, so she dared not take the risk and bring her grandmother downstairs to leave the place.

All she did was take out her phone to quickly compose a message to Christopher.

Winnie: I’m at the destination. I’ve found Zyon here. I’ll deal with him.

Yet, right as Winnie sent out that message and before she could receive a reply from Christopher, she spotted Zyon exiting his car downstairs.
