Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Baron Lawrence Attacks
The heat of the coffee alleviated some of the stomach cramps, Baron Lawrence took a few sips, and set the cup down. He then focused his attention back on the laptop.
He had just read the first line when the phone on the desk vibrated.
He quickly picked up the phone, stood up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows with his long legs that could rival a male model’s. He answered the call, “Did you find anything?”
Scott Harris’s voice came through immediately, “I found something, Lord. Rhine’s representative arrived in Linton City on a plane from T Country at 5:30 pm yesterday. Although Rhine usually stays at a star-rated hotel in Linton City, their representative did not. Instead, it seems they are staying in a high-end neighborhood. The specific address has been sent to your phone.”
“Did your search only find this information?” Baron Lawrence was not satisfied with the result.
“Uh…” Scott Harris hesitated, “I also found another piece of information. It seems that Rhine’s representative has some sort of connection with the Earl of Habsden. I’m still looking into what kind of relationship it is.”
Baron Lawrence furrowed his brows sharply, cutting him off, “Don’t bother researching further. I can already tell you what their relationship is.”
“Rhine’s representative is Edward Jackson’s niece!”
“You knew, Lord?” Scott Harris asked incredulously.
“Of course I know, nobody knows it better than me!” Because she is Enna Clark!
Baron Lawrence leaned his left hand against the floor-to-ceiling window and squinted at the scenery below, giving an indifferent order, “Pick up Bobby from school this afternoon. I may come back later in the evening. Keep an eye on him. If anything happens, call me.”
“When do you expect to return, Lord?”
“It might be soon, or I might not come back all night. You just need to take care of him!”
“Okay, got it. I’ll tell Young Master that you’re on a business trip.”
He hung up the phone.
Sure enough, there was a new message on the screen, sent by Scott Harris. The message detailed a specific address.
He scanned the line of text, and his eyes narrowed to slits!
He held the phone, returned to his seat, picked up the landline, and dialed the secretary’s office, ordering, “Prepare the car!”
Nightfall gradually descended.
As the bright moon slowly rose, the sky became filled with twinkling stars that seemed to be blinking. Moonlight shone upon the foliage, illuminating the leaves as they stretched in the night. Unknown insects chirped happily in the bushes, their melodies blending with the sounds of birds perched on tree branches, sounding especially pleasant.
From time to time, people walked with their children in the Fragrant River Mansion neighborhood, accompanied by the sounds of leisurely conversations.
Fragrant River Mansion was a well-known high-end neighborhood in Linton City with a small number of residents. There were three types of units: the smallest houses, which were more than 100 square meters in size, were in the outer perimeter, followed by the loft area in the middle. The last two buildings were like luxury villas. Residents of the first two types of units rarely ventured into the villa area. Moreover, with excellent security in place, outsiders had virtually no access to the area. Thus, despite being in a neighborhood, those two buildings were exceptionally quiet, providing excellent privacy.
Enna Clark walked back to the neighborhood under the moonlight, just as she swiped her card to enter the building. Suddenly, a burning figure pressed forward and grabbed her wrist.
