Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

After Charles spoke his mind, the corridor descended into silence.

Both Cedrick and Nico fell silent.

Charles pondered and continued, “If Joe Landon, who is still at large, is indeed the mastermind behind the massacre of the Cloud family, then my suspicions would be confirmed. The question that remains is, which influential family will be targeted next after the Cloud family is wiped out?”

Cedrick’s expression tensed up.

Nico held his breath. “The Jenson family.”

Both the Jenson and Harris families boasted formidable security measures. The individual responsible for the massacre of the Cloud family demonstrated the ability to eliminate them silently during the night, evading detection. However, breaching the Jenson family’s security measures and executing a similar attack would prove an immensely challenging feat for any perpetrator.

Unless…

If the perpetrator’s target was the Jenson family and they were unable to initiate their attack directly from the Jenson residence, they might seek out a vulnerable spot. What could that be?

The three men raised their heads in unison as the same idea occurred to them.

At once, Cedrick spun on his heels and strode away. He pulled out his phone to call Gwendolyn.

Nico went after him. “Cedrick, I’ll go to the lab to check on Benny.”

The laboratory’s security system was top-notch, but there was still a potential vulnerability once Benedict completed his IV drip and departed from the lab.

Cedrick nodded in agreement. “Take care of Benny and don’t let him leave the lab. He should wait in the lab until I pick him up.”

“Got it.”

Charles offered, “I’ll head to the kindergarten to pick Zendy up and ensure her safety.”

Considering that classes at the kindergarten would conclude one hour later, and with Charles needing approximately half an hour to arrive, it was crucial for him to be present earlier to ensure Zendaya’s safety.

Cedrick carefully contemplated the situation and concurred that the perpetrator would find it easiest to target Zendaya. This was because the entrance of the kindergarten would likely have only one or two security guards, while the majority of individuals present would be children and teachers.

“Nico, assign one of your teams to Charles so they can accompany him to the kindergarten.”

Nico expressed surprise at the suggestion. “Cedrick, won’t deploying a large number of personnel to the kindergarten during pick-up time cause panic among the parents?”
