Chapter 208 Heartless One

Tess looked around cautiously, ensuring no one else was nearby. Then, she whispered, “The one who is as famous as Cedric… Jerome Olsen! I met Jerome Olsen’s wife during my business trip this time!”

“Jerome’s wife?”

“Yes, yes! She told me that she had been to Osttahl before for academic discussions. She mentioned that the place could be chaotic and advised me to be careful, especially to watch my belongings.

“So, I bought some self–defense tools. We’re getting my sister’s belongings, and her things are all precious. Many people might try to snatch them! We need some handy tools, just in case. It’s always better to be prepared.”

Maia pretended to have a serious expression and nodded, “Yes, you are right. But are you sure you can bring these things on the plane?” She pointed her slender finger towards the luggage on the floor. Tess was caught off guard.

Maia smiled and continued, “Aunt Tess, we’ll stay at the safest hotel in Osttahl, and the security for the charity event should be thorough. There shouldn’t be any issues. Even if you bring these items on the plane and to Osttahl, there’s no guarantee the charity event would permit access with these items.”

“It’s still better to bring some self–defense items. Even if we don’t use them at the charity event, who knows if we might need them while walking on the streets of Osttahl?”

Maia didn’t speak further, just nodded. She didn’t argue with Tess’s opinion because she knew these items wouldn’t be of any use to Tess.

Just then, a servant descended from upstairs, hurriedly walking to Maia. The servant said, Ms. Maia, Mr. Cedric asked you to go upstairs. He said he had finished his work and missed you, wanted to see and hug you…”

As the servant continued, his voice became softer, and his head lowered, showing
