The Queen They Buried

Chapter 502

Bryan glanced at Carmen before continuing. “I got some news. Right now, Bowen doesn’t want to make a big deal out of this. Not many people know Nina was kidnapped, and Darius definitely won’t reveal who was taken.”

He continued, “Aubree and the others are busy searching for Nina’s whereabouts. By the time they react, the chaos will have already started. Even if she tries to clarify it later, so what? Dad, you haven’t forgotten about the pawn we planted in Südlichen Strand, have you?”

He added, “It’s time to act. Aubree definitely won’t be able to handle all this! This time, GrabCheap is bound to take a heavy hit!”

Ronald thought over Bryan’s suggestion, weighed the pros and cons, and concluded it was the best move they had at the moment.

If luck was on their side, they might even knock GrabCheap off its pedestal. A kidnapped friend, trouble in the company, such a blow might just bring Aubree down. At that point, he, as a father, could step in to offer support. She might let go of her grudge.

Timothy’s group is a ticking time bomb.” Ronald’s eyes gleamed. “Make sure Nina stays alive, but letting her have a little accident might make Aubree feel even more guilt and pain.”

Though it sounded like he was offering an opinion, it was clearly a command.

Bryan responded, “Just let Timothy’s people stir up a bit of trouble. You’re right, Dad. They can’t stay around much longer.”

He turned to Alice. “Mom, if I remember correctly, Timothy’s place is remote and deserted. You usually arrange for people to deliver their supplies, right? It’s been quite a while since the last delivery. They must be running low.”

Alice’s brow twitched. “What are you planning?”

Bryan replied, “We’ll lace their food with a slow–acting poison. Make them commit suicide out of guilt.”

Alice was severely tempted. This would also take care of a problem for her. After all, dead men tell no tales.

Ronald looked at Bryan with satisfaction. Bryan was calm under pressure, able to come up with such a solid plan. Bryan reminded him of himself in his younger days.

Bryan said, “Speaking of Südlichen Strand, that mole we placed there seems quite capable. Even managed to connect with Birgitte.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Given Patrick’s personality, I’m not surprised. Women, no matter how strong, are all the same in the end.”
