Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

The car left Jinston and hit the highway. After a four–hour drive, they reached the resort in Gioriham. By noon, the car pulled up outside the resort. The resort boasted a vast expanse of meticulously landscaped grounds.

Fountains and swimming pools were artfully arranged amidst blooming flowers, with mountains, water features, and woods blending in perfect harmony. The entire place radiated refined elegance.

Zinnia and Maisie got out of the car first, while Nathan and Emily followed to help with their luggage.

“Ms. Jenkins, Ms. Moore, please come inside. Lunch is ready for you.” The resort manager came out to greet them, leading a team of staff members.

The resort had been cleared out exclusively for Maisie and Zinnia’s visit. Hidden among the crowd, someone’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as Zinnia and the others approached.

In that instant, Zinnia felt the gaze of a venomous snake upon her. Yet her expression remained perfectly

calm.

Without missing a beat, Maisie quietly moved closer and linked arms with her, silently comforting Zinnia.

Zinnia and Maisie walked ahead. Nathan, Emily, and Stephen trailed behind them, blending in as their entourage. From the shadows, someone watched them enter.

“This resort is vast and secluded, with woods at the back–perfect for our plan. Once it’s done, we slip away through the forest.” The scar–faced man tapped his earpiece and relayed the intel.

Maisie halted abruptly.

“Is something wrong?” the manager asked nervously.

“You don’t need to follow us. Go prepare our rooms.” Maisie turned to look at Nathan, Emily, and Stephen.

“Understood,” the three replied in unison.

A staff member then escorted them to their rooms. A man, blending in with the staff crowd, narrowed his eyes as he fixed his gaze on the person in the middle of the trio. Instinctively, he started to follow.
