The âsomeone elseâ Nash referred to was none other than himself.
Had it not been for Oliviaâs sake, Kai would have suffered.
In the backseat, James looked somewhat startled. âIsnât this the Royal Bay? Do you live here?â
The villas in Royal Bay were among the top-tier luxurious residences in the country.
The price for one was at least 50 million. Even with money, it might not be available for purchase.
How could a small family like the Lewises afford to buy a villa in such a place?
âWho are you looking down on here?â
Xeno muttered quietly.
Mr. Nash was a privileged client of the Skye family.
The platinum membership card he held could purchase ten houses in Royal Bay alone.
Once the car came to a stop, Nash got out and opened the doors for the two of them.
Xeno, on the other hand, took out the luggage from the trunk.
James quickly snatched the suitcase from Xeno, saying flatly, âI can handle it myself!â
Xeno felt a bit frustrated inwardly.
After all, he was the second-in-command of Dragon Tiger Gate with hundreds of men under him. Many wealthy family heads had to be courteous in front of him, yet this guy had no clue how good he had it. Even so, Xeno could not get angry in front of Nash.
âXeno, you should head back to the Zabelsâ. Call me if anything happens!â
Noticing Xenoâs displeasure, Nash looked for an excuse to send him away.
Xeno thought that Nash was upset and quickly said, âMr. Nash⦠Iâ¦â
âI donât mean anything by it. The Green Bamboo Associationâs people are still in Jonford. They might target the Zabels at any moment. Iâd feel better if youâre there guarding them,â Nash interrupted with
a smile.
âAlright, Mr. Nash!â
Xeno sighed in relief.
He got into the car, shifted gears, and pressed the accelerator. After a perfect drift, he sped away.
Meanwhile, James and Yvonne had reached the front of the villa.
The villa was decorated in a simple European style, with top-notch brands for all materials and
furnishings. The place looked elegant yet luxurious.
âWhat a beautiful house! Itâs much more beautiful than our house abroad!â
Yvonne marveled while holding her Winnie the Pooh plush toy.
The seaside villa she lived in abroad was less than half the size of this house.
âUncle James, Yvonne, donât just stand there. Come inside!â
Nash received the two guests with a smile.
James still wore a stern expression, as if someone owed him a huge debt.
âThank you, Nash!â
Yvonne thanked him shyly.
Both of them followed Nash into the house.
Seeing guests arriving, Maria immediately prepared tea.
Sitting on the spacious sofa, Yvonne removed her shoes and socks before crossing her legs. With a pitiful face, she said to James, âUncle James, Iâm hungryâ¦â
She had not eaten or drunk anything since morning. She was already starving on the plane.
Jamesâ stern face softened slightly. âHold on a bit longer. Your Aunt Lauren will be back soon!â
âYou must be both tired and hungry from the journey. Iâll ask Maria to prepare something for you to eat!â Nash, who grew up alone without relatives, was a bit nervous hosting his mother-in-lawâs
family.
âNo need, Nash. I need to save space for a feast tonight!â Yvonne replied obediently.
In the park outside the villa, there was a tall man in a suit wearing a pair of sunglasses. He touched the Bluetooth earpiece and whispered, âTheyâve arrived at Jonford and have settled in the Royal Bay
Villa!â
A chilling voice came from the other end. âFind an opportunity to get the test item, then eliminate
them!â
âYes, Sir!â
The man replied respectfully.
âWho are you? What are you doing here?â
Hera had just parked her car when she noticed a suspicious man in the park outside.
This place was a private park for the villas here. Outsiders were not allowed without permission. Moreover, this manâs attire did not resemble that of Royal Bayâs security.
