Chapter 105

Thalia had obediently followed Asher’s advice these past few days, not venturing outside and working from home.

Asher quickly discovered who was backing Feynman Port.

The man’s name was Arno Jones, a powerful figure in London with connections in both legitimate business and criminal enterprises. He had influential protectors in high places.

Jones secretly controlled dozens of companies, all registered under names of unrelated individuals who served as legal scapegoats. While these businesses appeared legitimate on the surface, they were fronts for illegal operations.

Asher hung his coat on the rack as he explained, “My sources have confirmed that Jones met with Malfoy shortly after his return to London. It appears Jones is seeking Malfoy’s protection.”

“Malfoy has substantial influence in Russia with numerous business interests. Jones is clearly looking to establish international connections through him. Meanwhile, Malfoy has limited reach in London and needs a local partner. They’re perfectly matched–I suspect they’re already strategizing against me.”

Thalia’s brow furrowed with concern. “How do you intend to handle this?”

“Don’t worry, Lia. I’ve already formulated a strategy. Malfoy won’t gain significant traction in London.”

“Right.” Thalia remained visibly worried about Asher’s situation.

“Has anyone suspicious approached the apartment?” Asher asked.

He had stationed several security personnel to guard the building round the clock, and they would certainly report any suspicious individuals immediately, but he still wanted to confirm with Thalia personally.

Thalia shook her head. “No one.”

“Good. Don’t trust any strangers, whatever they might claim.”

“I understand.”

Meanwhile, in a dimly lit hotel suite.

Drake Ashcroft was lost in a moment of passion, repeatedly murmuring, “Thalia, Thalia…”

“Drake,” Sienna whispered.

The sound of a sharp slap cut through the air as Drake struck Sienna across the face.

“Shut up! I told you not to speak when we’re together like this!”
