Chapter 298: Chapter 298

Chapter 298:

“I was concerned you might be in the dark, so I came to let you know. Things are a bit chaotic out there.”

“It’s safer if you stay here.” Her voice carried a mesmerizing charm.

Feeling relaxed, Benedict accepted the water Karina offered without a second thought.

He drained the glass in one go and asked her to pour another, as if still parched.

He ordered, “From now on, whenever you’re with me, you need to keep reminding me about our enemies’ real capabilities, got it?”

It was Conley who revealed Karina could see through everyone’s true abilities, a formidable asset Aaron had kept from Benedict.

Because of this, Benedict was displeased and figured Aaron should count himself lucky that he had met his end at Rhys’ hands. Otherwise, Aaron’s fate could be far worse than death.

“Do you want to handle this yourself, or should I step in?” Harlee’s relaxed voice echoed in the room.

“Who is that?” Benedict tensed up, sitting bolt upright.

“Karina, did you hear that?”

Karina pointed the flashlight toward Harlee, her voice cool yet enticing.

“Are you talking about Miss Sanderson here?”

A flash of amazement crossed Benedict’s eyes.

Harlee was undeniably stunning, even more gorgeous than any of his mistresses.

Benedict assumed Harlee was a gift from Karina, and his eyes gleamed with appreciation.

“I’m very pleased with this woman. You can leave now.”

Benedict waved his hand at Karina and stood up, ready to pounce on Harlee. Karina swiftly switched off the flashlight, her voice dripping with charm.

“I wouldn’t dare dirty your hands. Let me take care of it.”

Benedict’s face fell.

He stumbled backward, accidentally hitting the lamp switch. With a click, the room flooded with light. Only then did Benedict realize something was off. Karina dared to betray him!

In the now-lit room, he eyed Harlee across from him. Seeing she was alone and unarmed, his confidence returned.

“Karina, you dare to conspire against me with a stranger? Are you insane? This entire casino is filled with my men. You really think you two can take me down?”

With that, he aimed his gun at Karina.

“Anyone who betrays me must pay with their life!”

Benedict pulled the trigger, but the bloodshed he expected never came.

“What happened?”

Harlee smirked, letting bullets slip from her hand onto the floor.

“Looking for these?”

“You…” Benedict was shocked.
