Chapter 564
Chapter 564:
“Move out! To the Empire Hotel!” Jade commanded with authority.
The Empire Hotel, a property belonging to Ethan in Plieca, was likely Brenna’s new refuge—especially since Ethan was probably also there.
The group hurried downstairs, and as Jade burst through the hotel lobby doors, she caught a glimpse of someone slipping away from her car, unaware of what they had done.
She approached the car without a second thought, only to be greeted by the ominous ticking of a countdown. It dawned on her too late that she was hearing a bomb.
Before she could retreat, a thunderous explosion erupted, unleashing a searing wave of heat. The car was engulfed in flames, and the blast flipped it violently, tearing it apart. Amidst the chaos, shards of the car—and tragically, pieces of Jade herself—were hurled skyward.
Meanwhile, a safe distance down the road, Brenna coolly drove away, her eyes fixed ahead, leaving the scene behind her.
The bomb had been provided by Thiago’s friend.
Inside the car, Ethan said to Brenna,
“I was unaware you were participating in the trade forum as well. I didn’t protect you well p>
Brenna rested her head gently on Ethan’s shoulder, replying,
“There’s no need for apologies. I should be thanking you for rescuing me p>
Ethan offered a slight smile, admitting,

Ethan comforted her with a gentle pat on the hand, saying,
“Don’t worry. All arrangements are in place. He’s set to depart on an early flight at dawn. Moreover, I’ve neutralized the nearby surveillance. The authorities won’t discover he did it for at least three days. By then, he’ll already be gone p>
Upon their arrival at the Empire Hotel, Brenna’s eyes caught a familiar sight beside the hotel’s doorman.
“Brenna, what brings you here as well?” Rosie inquired with curiosity, her attire refined, complemented by the presence of a strikingly handsome mixed-race man.
Brenna was unfamiliar with the man at Rosie’s side.
Rosie clung to the man’s arm, her every move dripping with affection. Brenna shot the mixed-race man a cool, questioning gaze before turning her attention to Rosie.
“And who might this be p>
Rosie offered a polite smile, her voice tinged with secrecy.
“I’m afraid I can’t say; his identity is a bit sensitive p>
Just then, Ethan approached from the other side of the car, and the mixed-race man extended his hand to greet him.
“Hello, Mr. Mitchell p>
