The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

"When did this happen?" Nick asked, caught off guard by the lack of news.

"Just a couple of days ago," Grady replied, his voice heavy with exhaustion. The whirlwind of events over the past few days had left him with no time to catch a break, the weariness clearly etched on his face.

A dangerous glint appeared in Nick's eyes. "Who attacked Chester?"

"An assassin group," Grady said.

Nick frowned. "That group has always kept a respectful distance from the Davis family. How dare they cross the line?"
