This evening, Yeying was fully prepared, having friends lie in wait outside Richard Gervis's study much earlier, ready to document every single detail as soon as she gave the order.
But this time, they grasped at air.
Rose did not arrive as expected.
Even Richard Gervis himself was nowhere to be found; it was only when she inquired about the exotic beasts in the courtyard that she finally learned they had last seen Rose half an hour earlier, following behind Colin Capello's personal maid with a complex expression.
She immediately reported this information to Song Lan and Lu Xiang.
"Colin Capello's personal maid? Why would she come looking for Rose?"
Lu Xiang frowned, a bad premonition welled up in his heart. With the Capello Family and the Gilvez Family at such fierce odds, they definitely had no reason to meet at a time like this.
Unless there was something that could momentarily make them set aside familial interests and the ongoing consortium infighting.
