Chapter 53

Asher raced after Thalia but was blocked by a man who appeared from nowhere.

The man collided with Asher head on, spilling red wine across his bespoke suit.

Asher paid no attention to his ruined clothes, his focus entirely on reaching Thalia as panie gripped him

The man, however, deliberately remained in his path, offering exaggerated apologies, “Terribly sorry, Mr. Blackwood. Complete accident. Shall I have your suit professionally cleaned?”

“It’s fine.” Asher attempted to sidestep him.

The man mirrored his movement perfectly. “Mr. Blackwood, I do apologize. I hope you won’t hold this against me.”

Asher’s patience evaporated. “Get out of my way!” he snapped.

The man touched his nose awkwardly and finally stepped aside.

When Asher reached the lift, he watched the numbers changing rapidly on the display, his heart plummeting. The elevator had already reached the ninth floor.

Even if he took the adjacent lift immediately, he’d be too late.

Suddenly, he spun around–the stranger had completely vanished.

Asher’s expression hardened with realization. That man had delayed him deliberately.

Meanwhile, outside a side entrance to the estate, a nondescript black Audi sat parked in a secluded

corner.

The man who had blocked Asher slid into the driver’s seat. “It’s done, Miss Bennett.”

Grace reclined in the back seat with her eyes closed. “Drive.”

The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror. “Aren’t we waiting for Miss Miller?”

Grace gave a contemptuous laugh. “If we waited for that fool, none of us would escape today.”

Thalia burst onto the rooftop immediately after exiting the lift.
