At a small tavern in Rotterdam, Sophia sat enjoying sparkling wine while smiling to herself. A young waiter who had cleared the table then sat next to her and helped pour wine into her glass.
"Miss look so happy. Any good news?" the waiter asked Sophia.
The purplish-eyed beauty only closed her eyes when she heard her question. Her mouth smiled wider. When she opened her eyes, those purple eyes seemed to glitter with joy.
"I think now they must have received the letter. I wish I could be there, it would have been perfect! Haha ..." Her voice was filled with excitement.
The waiter smiled at Sophia's words. She raised her glass and invited her to toast. "Everything has gone according to plan so far. It's not in vain that you sacrificed your brother."
Sophia only raised an eyebrow. Her expression looked unhappy. "Alexei is old and no longer useful. He would only trouble me in the future. At least, he can be useful for one last time."
"Hmmm, you are right."
They then clinked their glasses and drank with satisfied expressions. Sophia glanced to the side, and her smile made her face look more beautiful.
She held her glass of wine and her beautiful eyes were watching the canal in front of her tavern. Many small boats were passing by and the canal looked so busy.
Her eyes stared far away, beyond the canal and the boats. Sophia was thinking about the past and that put a beautiful smile on her face.
"All this will not work without proper preparation ... I have been patient enough, and I did my part well. Five years is not a short time," the girl muttered in a low voice.
"Miss is very patient," commented the waiter.
"Ah ... my patience is nothing, compared to your master's patience. He had been waiting for 25 years and prepared everything in detail. I learned a lot from him," Sophia commented while looking at her assistant. Her eyes gleamed happily.
She remembered the man who came to see her five years ago when she was so desperate and almost ended her life. The man invited her to speak and assured her that she still had hope for revenge. He told her his own grudge toward Alaric Rhionen and how he had prepared a perfect plan to get his revenge.
That day, Sophia's spirit returned. She finally found a purpose in life. She could survive and be patient. Until finally ... the long-awaited day had arrived.
"Imagine ... the most powerful people in the world ... are too helpless to do anything ..." Sophia chuckled. She covered her mouth with the back of her little hand as she laughed. Elegant, just like someone of noble birth would do.
Although she had now fallen into poverty, Sophia remained a noble daughter with class and elegance. Even her appearance, though modest, still looked graceful and enchanting.
"Everything had been carefully considered. They must have thought Vega was actually in Switzerland because her photo with Alexei and Alexei's body was later found there ... Even though we only used ordinary camera tricks ... Tss ... how embarrassing. When they thought Vega was in Switzerland, our people were actually still holding her in Paris."
"I'm sure they also checked all the videos taken by the high school kid. I heard she was summoned to meet Alaric at the Nobel Hotel. Haha .. even though they can find our people who followed Vega for ten days, they will not find their data anywhere because they are all in disguise ... Lauriel's people are not the only ones who can disguise themselves, right?"
"True. Even if Wolf and Goose are on their side, there is no point," Sophia replied. She picked up her glass and signaled to her assistant to refill it.
Deftly the girl took a bottle of wine and poured the contents into Sophia's glass. "We have Skia. He is much more dangerous because he never tries to make a name for himself. No one knows who he is .. hahaha."
"The enemy in the shadow is far more dangerous than the enemy that you can see under the light. That is very true," Her assistant commented, nodding in agreement.
"Yes. Skia managed to find the connection between Wolf and Goose, not even my cousin knew that the woman he loved was his competition in Darknet for so many years," Sophia chuckled. "Skia thought of the perfect way to distract Nicolae so we could kidnap Vega. If my cousin did not meet Goose, he would still be watching the children in Paris and Bordeaux. I was worried when I found out that Marion was there too. Crazy! She is very dangerous."
"Luck was on our side. Wolf left his kids under the supervision of a former assassin who was recently heartbroken ... Oh ... what a perfect opportunity! Master immediately made his move and accelerated the kidnapping plan ... He is really good at making strategies and adapting it ..." said the waiter as she poured the wine back into Sophia's glass. "I was worried that Mischa would not come to Provins. We didn't know for sure how he felt about that woman, his ex-girlfriend. If he had managed to move on from her, then, of course, our plans were in vain."
"Ahh .. you're right. It was a gamble on our side. But, hey ... everything is done and successful. We won." Sophia narrowed her eyes with a very serious expression. "Mischa came to Provins. Nicolae went with Goose. The children did not have adequate security. They were negligent and now must pay the consequences. I'm sure they are all blaming each other right now."
