The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 196

Chapter 196: The plot gone wrong

This was not far from his prediction, but the thought of her being taken still shook him up.

He thought he had covered all possibilities. If they tried something, they would be caught quickly, but they actually succeeded in taking her?

How could they take her without triggering any alert?
