As his father's threat loomed large in his thoughts, Julian's phone rang, jolting him from his planning. Frowning, he answered it, only to receive more bad news. The two men they had captured from Alex's side had managed to escape just now. Julian's face darkened instantly, a dangerous aura emanating from him.
Despite this small setback, he felt a momentary relief upon confirming that Alex had indeed boarded the flight with Olivia about an hour ago. Considering Emily's fragile state, Julian instructed Aiden to take her to a nearby hotel to rest for the day. Meanwhile, Julian headed back to his base, determined to address the situation with the missing hostages and prepare for his father's inevitable intervention.
