Muar on

Sisi, had an pourty that stood nut from

Neela gave a slight nod. How long has been following in

Tive minutes. It’s been on our tail einge

Shortly thereto, Noella’s phone buzzed with a new meseng

After Mazar Hacked the suspicious vehicle, the ensoped a photo of ma teanga plate and sent the vehicle owner’s details straight to

“Lome? Was he supposed to be in the hospital

Why was Lome’s car following her? Could it be he realized she was the one who performed that surgery on him?

Included in the data sent was the car’s recent travel og Last night, it was parked at South Flora Storage just a stone’s throw from the underground fight club

In all her years, this was the first time someone had tailed her

“Boss, want me to shake off this car?”

“No need. Let’s pretend we haven’t noticed. Since he’s suspicious, let’s not reveal any more than we need to.

Palmer’s gaze tumed frosty

someone trying to make a move on his fiancée right under his nose?

“Do you know this Lome?

on him as a favor”

Noella shook her head. “Not really just happened to perform a surgery on hi

Lome, the eldest grandson of the Richardson family, had taken over the bulk of the family’s enterprises, carving out a significant niche for himselt in the antique world at a young agel

Now The Richardson holdings had doubled since Lucian’s time, all thanks to Lome’s efforts, Only, much of those holdings weren’t exactly above board far more than the legitimate side of the business!

A chill flickered in Palmer’s eyes “With Lome’s sharpness, he probably suspects you were the one in the OR”

Noelia shrugged. “So what if he suspects? I’m not about to admit anything“.

y not? Afraid of the hassle?”

“Why

“Yeah I don’t know him well and I don’t want to get reported for lacking medical credentials.”

Palmer seemed taken aback, but then chuckled softly, the vibration reverberating through his chest and felt by Noella beside him.

Was it that amusing? She’d only made an offhand comment.

Palmer knew it was all in jest, Lome was also familiar with the international warzone. If he knew that the surgeon was none other than the infamous Phantom Surgeon Lunans, he’d probably be over the moon.

But Palmer was particularly fond of Noella’s attitude of keeping her distance from others!

After he finished laughing, he looked up at Noella. “If my fiancée is worried about trouble, let me take care of it.”

Palmer pulled out his phone and dialed a number

Holding Noella’s hand, he coldly instructed the person on the other end, “Warn Lome. He’s overstepped”

“Yes, Mr. Pollack

Meanwhile, Lome, upon receiving the message on his phone, raised an eyebrow in silent amusement.

It seemed Palmer was also in that cac and his actions had been noticed.

With Palmers keenness, it would’ve been odd if he hadn’t detected Lome’s arrangement.

The car Lome had set up wasn’t meant to take action at this time. “Pull back”

Lome put down his phone, a smirk og his lipt

“Just making you aware of my presence has served my purpose. As for the rest…there’s no rush.”

He would choose a better moment to make her awam of him!

10-56

The car following them soon received the order and exited the highway at an interchange.

Mizar glanced in the rear–view minor “Boss, they’re gone. That guy is a weird one. Why would he use his own car to tail you? Isn’t that Just exposing himself?

Mizar couldn’t fathom this logic!

Palmer frowned, “Lome’s retum at this time is abnormal. He’s probably here for the nephrite market.”

Noella spread her hands nonchalantly. “Whatever

Whatever Lome was up to didn’t concern her, but if he Intended to peddle subpar nephrite under the guise of Polaris Star, he’d surely pay the price!

Elora’s call came through on Noella’s phone. “Noella, you know Lome, right? He asked me for your contact info, but I turned him down

Lome had approached Elara to get Noella’s number, which Elara refused without a second thought.

“We’re not close. Who knows what he’s up tol

Noella took the call without hiding from Palmer, who remarked upon hearing. “Elora, isn’t Lome sort of your brother too?

“Brother? No offense, but the last thing I’m short on is brothers! Including the Pollacks, I’m practically swimming in them–almost ten. and Mr. Pollack, you’re like one too. Just make sure you take good care of my little sister, or one of these days, I’ll be short a brother! Having plenty of brothers is nice, losing a couple wouldn’t hurt.”

Anyone who wanted to get close to her little sister had to get past her first!

To Elara, Noella was just a sweet, gentle, innocent, and adorable girl. Without the betrothal agreement, Palmer stood little chance of getting close to her, Elara considered her sister paramount, rendering these once–seen so–called brothers inconsequential!

Even if Lome had no ulterior motives, Elara saw no need for him to obtain contact details without her mediation.

Elara’s threat to Palmer sounded like a jest, and he did not take her too seriously “Sure, I’ll take good care of Noella.”

The entire Schnabel family tended to treat Noella like a child, even though she was more than capable of looking after herself. Even for such small matters, Elara would call to inform her, which always made Noella feel a warm current in her heart.

Outside the airport terminal, Mizar was ushering an elderly man with youthful vigor into the car.

Master Rainer chuckled softly as he gazed at Noella and Palmer, seated in the back row. “Noella, aren’t you going to introduce me?”

“You probably already did your homework when you came here.”

“It’s not the same. An introduction from you carries a different weight than my own investigations.”

Ever since these old timers had leamed about Noella’s fiancé, they had turned over every stone to dig up dirt on Palmer. To their surprise, the lad seemed decent, a good egg.

With a resigned sigh, Noella made the introductions. “This is Palmer, and this is my mentor, Master Rainer”

Master Rainer beamed with an air of cultured charm. “A fellow assassinator like Noella, I see. Sporting some fresh scars, too. You’ve certainly made some noise taking down the Cerulean Whale–a hefty feat” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

The Cerulean Whale, notorious as the third–ranking assassin organization on the deep–web, had been major news after Palmer had left its leaders with nothing but their titles to cling to, a tale that had echoed across the entire underworld.

Palmer’s lips twitched into a half–smile. “I can’t hide anything from you.”

Palmer targeting the Cerulean Whale was no surprise to Noella. The fact that folks from the Westwood Mercenary Corps could cross borders had a lot to do with the Cerulean Whale. And with Palmer having been wounded at the South Flora Storage, there was no way he would let that score go unsettled!

“Heh, you’re as ruthless as Noella, indeed. But there’s something else I’m rather curious about,” Master Rainer said, his voice suddenly laced with caution and probing intent.

The temperature in the car seemed to drop a few degrees at his words.

“I’m quite intrigued, what exactly were you after in the ruins of Polaris Star?”
