Chapter 128
1,330 million 1 was deposited into Lenore’s account, Chuck reported, “Gillian has been removed from the club,”
Thuring hunch, 330
Lenore thought. That’s what she said if she loses, she’ll never race again in her life. Later, she put in all her savings as a bet. Now, her future job is gone, along with her entire fortune.
Seeing the long string of zeros, Lenore squinted, feeling unbelievably happy.
Silas placed the deboned fish into her bowl and asked offhandedly, “Short on cash?”
Lenore nodded earnestly. “Yes”
Wayne raised an eyebrow, doubtful of her statement. “Not long ago, from the Duncan family affair and Silas’s 300 million, you should have at least 1.6 billion now, right? Even if you burned it, it would last for half a year”
Lenore thought, It could last for half a year. But at Joshua’s place, two months won’t be sufficient. She sighed deeply and didn’t say anything else.
Josiah wanted to stay a little longer, curious to see what kind of charm this girl had that could make the fierce Silas change like this. But there was a lot of work waiting for him back at the office, so after lunch, he had to leave.

Wayne answered a call and headed back to the Garcia residence.
In the afternoon, only Silas and Lenore were at SereniVilla, In the glass–walled conservatory. Silas sat focused in front of the computer with a serious expression. He exuded an intense presence, making the atmosphere around him tense.
Lenore was relaxing on the new soft sofa opposite him, with a laptop in her arms too.
Ximun. [The diamond has already been sent to Kelmara
Lenore: Tell that useless prince if he loses it again, I’ll destroy him.]
Lenore thought. He hasn’t even taken the throne yet and has already taken over the scepter. In less than five years, he’s lost the Ira Red Diamond three times. If that’s not a useless prince, what is?
Ximun: [Yes.||
Ximun (Miss, it’s the first time in a hundred years that the First Floor has been robbed, and the thief got away without a trace. No one even knows who it is. This news has spread through the underground, and many are eager to take their chances.]
Lenore leaned back, sinking into the soft sofa. Lenore: [You don’t need to worry.]
The First Floor’s defense system seemed as fragile as paper to her but was like an impenetrable fortress to others. Even if someone managed to break in, getting out unharmed was uncertain.
After pondering for a bit, Lenore rummaged through her bag and pulled out a silver phone with the HS logo in one corner
As soon as she turned it on, several messages flooded the screen, scrolling quickly. Luckily, the phone was on silent; otherwise, the notification sounds would have been like a symphony.
Once the messages stopped scrolling, Lenore entered her password, opened an app, and sorted through to find the important ones. There were over a hundred from Raptor.
She glanced over them quickly. Most of the messages were asking when she’d return if she was taking any missions, her thoughts on 319 B Engineering, or when she’d be back at headquarters for a meeting and so on.

Squinting. Lenore lowered her gaze and began typing
Xtreme Depends on how I feel. I’ll reply if I have time.]
The Stormwings Operatives meet twice a year. Lenure thought, Every meeting seems to revolve around trying to impeach Xtreme, yet they can’t do anything about ime. It’s the same story every year with nothing new. It’s boring”
Alter replying to some important messages, she closed her phone a
and tossed it back into her backpack
She looked up and saw the man sitting across from her with a serious expression. Lenore chuckled, took a sip of wine from her thermos, opened her laptop, and started designing a racing car model.
Later in the afternoon,
a. Wayne came by again.

Chapter 128
Sealing down in the flower shed, he drank two glasses of water and started ranting. “My grandpa has been living a secluded life for three years, keeping to himself.
“Now they’ve brought him back because of Orinadia’s pandemic, and to make matters worse, the idiots at HealthGuard Alliance suspect he’s involved. If it weren’t for his status, they would’ve started monitoring him already.”
Silas spoke in a cold tone. “I know your grandpa hasn’t had it easy, so be a decent person and spare him some worry?
Wayne was speechless and thought. ‘How am I not being a good person? He licked his lips and drank another glass of cold water. “Why does everything you say have to be so annoying?”
