Chapter 563
563:
Brenna nodded.
“You’re right. I’ll ask Ethan and find out where he’s staying. We can go to him. Edward has a lot of pull around here. It won’t take long before he realizes we tricked them. Pack up. We need to leave immediately.”
Thiago called toward the bedroom.
“Joe, Tom, you can stop what you’re doing. We’re leaving now.”
When Liam and Cary returned to Jade’s place, they were slapped the moment they walked in.
“Idiots!” Jade yelled.
In less than an hour, Jade and Edward had already pieced everything together—Liam and Cary had failed to carry out the mission.
Liam and Cary painted a grim picture of the bizarre and heartless ways Brenna had toyed with them to Jade.
Liam, a fully grown man, unable to hold back his tears, murmured shakily,
“She claimed to have poisoned us and insisted we return to her every twenty-four hours for an antidote.”
Visibly annoyed, Jade slapped him across the face.
“You idiot! That so-called poison was likely just vitamin C! What were you thinking? Who carries actual poison around? Did you feel any real symptoms after taking it?”
After pausing to think, Liam admitted, his voice wavering,
“No.”
The only real pain he felt stemmed from the gunshot wound on his thigh. It dawned on him that Brenna’s ploy had tricked him completely. However, her tormenting methods were beyond what anyone could imagine. Just thinking about that gave him chills.
Edward, who had been quietly observing the exchange, gave a discreet nod to the bodyguard dressed in black by the door. Without hesitation, the bodyguard pulled out his gun and executed Liam and Cary with precise shots to their heads.

Turning to Jade with a dismissive flick of his hand, Edward said,
“These two were dispensable. Jade, head over to that hotel and kill Brenna. And bring backup with you.”
With a faint trace of interest, he cast a skeptical glance toward Jade. His expression betrayed his growing doubts about her competence.
Jade could feel the weight of his expectations pressing down on her. Failure to eliminate Brenna this time would not only diminish her standing in Edward’s eyes but might also jeopardize her claim to her future inheritance.
With resolve steeling her voice, she declared,
“I will kill Brenna, no matter the cost.”
In that decisive moment, she resolved to sacrifice even Ethan if it meant ensuring Brenna’s downfall.
She quickly rallied more than twenty of her most skilled subordinates and led them to Brenna’s last known location at the hotel. But upon arrival, they discovered that Brenna had already checked out.
