Chapter 1090

“Understood. I’ll lure her here immediately.”

As Nancy received the call, she was tending to her hands in a beauty salon.

Upon seeing the caller ID, she sprang from the couch and answered in a secluded corner.

“Is it finished?”

“Indeed. No traces remain. As you promised, there’s a pending sum after I execute your orders. The

time for fulfillment has come.”

All was accomplished. A resounding success.

Nancy’s elation was surreal. Millie had vanished from existence, and no adversary could triumph over

her now.

“I’ll transfer it to your account.”

“I prefer cash. Transfers are risky. Meet me at the location of our previous encounter.”

“Alright, rendezvous in an hour.”

Nancy’s agreement came reluctantly, as if pulled from her.

However, the moment she stepped into the concealed alley, an abrupt darkness claimed her senses.

Her awakening unveiled a frigid reality, with the cold surroundings embracing her form.

The query escaped her lips as she stirred.

“Where am 1?”

Angela’s Library

Seated gracefully, legs crossed in an elegant stance, Leon perused something within his grasp.

“Nancy, an alumna of Preagend University’s Jewelry Department, is Thomas Group’s mastermind.”

Whose voice was this? Nancy turned slightly, inquiring, “Mr. Thomas, for what reason do I find myself in

this situation?”

A chuckle escaped Leon, a sound that stirred unease in Nancy’s core.

“You’re in the dark? Oh, Nancy, you’re orchestrating your downfall.”

A veneer of civility masked Nancy’s inner ferocity.

At the sight of the individual beside her, a tremor of fear coursed through Nancy’s frame-the very

person who had lured her here.

“You! This was your trap all along. Leon, you’re the puppeteer behind the scenes.”

A sinking realization gripped her; her gut sensed the truth.
