Tasinine shot Mr. Wolf a glare so flerce it could've cut through steel.

"Listen, Wolf. Be cautious if you want, but stop pointing fingers at Alex. He's the only one here I actually trust." WolfGabriel Wolf-folded his arms and threw a sneer Alex's way.

"Word on the street is he's a two-bit con artist who sweetalks rich women out of their money. Wouldn't surprise me if he's the rat in the room."

Jasmine's anger flared. She jabbed a finger at him. "Another word out of you, and I'll shred our contract right here and now."

Alex shrugged, calm as ever. "Doesn't matter. We're here for one reason-to get Kelly back. We're not exactly on vacation."

She offered a small smile of gratitude. “I appreciate that."

They boarded the private jet and took off, streaking across the sky toward the Vermont border.

them.

He bowed low. "Miss Kingston, welcome to Vermont. Mr. Kane is expecting you in the main hall. Please allow me to drive you.'

He gestured toward a glossy black limousine, but Jasmine gave him a hard, unblinking stare. "No. I don't trust a ride I didn't arrange. We brought our own convoy."

The butler's expression flickered, but he stepped aside. "As you wish."

The plane's cargo hold opened, and three black SUVS rumbled out onto the tarmac.

Without a word, they followed the limousine through winding roads that snaked up a steep hill.
