Chapter 266 Nikolas.

Royce’s illegitimate son.

Lennon’s eyes were dark.“He’s in Italy, but his influence is surprisingly far–reaching.”

Matthew stood beside him, fidgeting and barely breathing.

Lennon spoke coldly, “Since he’s acting, we don’t need to be polite. Did he recently get a big project in Italy?”

Menu Matthew replied, “Yes, it was just confirmed. Recently, Nikolas has expanded his influence in Italy and gained followers in nearby countries, setting up specialized bases.”

Lennon curled his lips.“Send him a ‘welcome gift.‘ That project can’t continue under his control.”

Matthew responded, “Understood.”

Lennon asked, “Was it Nikolas’s people who killed Dalia this time?”

“Yes.” Matthew’s expression was serious.“It seems Dalia was no longer useful to him, so he had her killed.”

Lennon narrowed his eyes, a chill coming from them.“That matches his usual method.”

He didn’t care about the law, killed without a second thought, and had no sense of humanity.

Lennon’s expression was stern.“Since he has free time, let’s give him something to do. Contact Frank in Italy to help deal with Nikolas. We must take over that project and stop Nikolas.”

“Understood.”

In Italy, Nikolas’s private villa.

The phone on the bedside table rang for a long time.

After it disconnected, it rang again, like a bad sign.

“Nikolas, your phone has been ringing. Aren’t you going to answer it?” the woman asked breathlessly.

Nikolas didn’t respond, his attractive eyes smiling, with sweat on his forehead. He was undeniably handsome and charming, and that hint of desire just made him even more irresistible.

The woman was captivated, lost in his gaze, indulging freely.

Lauryn called many times, but no one answered.

Her heart sank into a chilling despair.

As time passed, her tension and unease increased.

“Ms. Schneider, has Mr. Russo not answered the phone yet?” her bodyguard asked.

Lauryn’s face blanched, and her voice trembled as she spoke, “He probably intends to abandon me. To him, I’m nothing more than a worthless burden now.”

Two days before the engagement, Bruce, Nikolas’s assistant in America, found her and asked her to help Dalia disrupt the engagement ceremony.

She had planned to use Dalia to kill Mariela, but by chance, Lennon got hurt. Luckily, Nikolas had a strong influence, and his assistant Bruce in America helped. The Stark family didn’t connect the ceremony incident to them.
