Chapter 561
561:
She was convinced Liam was telling the truth. She had even put the call on speakerphone so Edward could listen in.
Liam bit down hard on his fear. Pretending everything was going according to plan, he said,
“Of course!”
“Jade, are you still at the usual spot?” Liam carefully asked.
“Yeah. After you finish, bring Brenna to my father. He will enjoy her body. Make sure you give her more drugs first. Her resilience is no joke. You’ll need a stronger dose to keep her unconscious,” Jade said without a shred of doubt.
“Consider it done,” Liam replied.
Thiago shifted uneasily. The situation was dangerous. Charging into trouble overseas was like poking a snake’s nest. Without a word, he thumbed out a quick message on his phone and showed it to Liam. Catching on fast, Liam said,
“Ms. Hewitt, would you mind coming over? We just found out they hired local bodyguards. There are eight of them. If we try to leave with Brenna now, we might not make it.”
“I told you to move faster!” Jade snapped. “If you screw this up, you will pay for it. Stay put. I’ll bring backup.”
Thiago typed again, faster this time. Liam glanced at the message and seemed caught in a dilemma.
Brenna caught a glimpse of the words. With a flick of her hand, she drove a needle into one of Liam’s acupuncture points.
Liam cried out in pain, his body tensing, his eyes pleading for mercy.
He quickly said into the phone,
“Ms. Hewitt, is Mr. Ward still there? Brenna is really tempting. Mr. Ward would definitely appreciate her. Consider it a gesture of goodwill. Could you ask him to come here with you?”
Jade narrowed her eyes. Doubt began to creep in. She glanced at Edward, who was also beginning to look suspicious.

“What do you want my father to do? Is there something wrong on your end? Send me a photo right now so I can see it for myself!” Jade demanded.
Brenna had no intention of playing along with their little game of charades. She wasn’t worried about Jade not taking the bait. After all, Jade had tried and failed to get rid of her back in the country. She believed Jade would do anything this time to kill her.
Smirking, Brenna twirled the needle between her fingers.
Thiago tapped another message on his phone and nudged it toward Liam.
Liam had no choice but to keep pushing.
“How could that be, Ms. Hewitt? The hotel has tight security. Besides, I checked Brenna’s phone. It shows she has been…”
Chatting a lot with someone named Ethan, who happens to be staying at this hotel, too. If we try to take her out openly, I’m afraid this Ethan guy will catch on. It would be better if you came and handled it yourself. It would also be best if you and Mr. Ward came alone. With fewer people, it will be easier to avoid attention.”
“You fool!” Jade exploded in anger. “Ethan’s there, and you didn’t report it sooner? What the hell were you thinking?”
