She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart Chapter 666: From Now On, You’re My Brother-in-Law (2)
He said, a wedding dress is the biggest lie to a woman. Its pure and beautiful appearance makes girls mistakenly think that their future will be happy, forgetting that the reality of life is always cruel, and that they have never been any kind of princess.
Raina North felt speechless every ti she thought of that guy’s nitpicking manner. Anyone who didn’t know better might think he was the one who got burned, rather than being a complete jerk.
Suddenly, the wind picked up outside, and the sky grew dark. The gusts of wind foretold a heavy rain. Raina hurried to close the window. If the rain really ca and ruined his newly designed wedding dress, that guy might go insane.
While closing the window, Raina instinctively glanced at the courtyard. She saw a man dressed in black vault over the wall and into the yard.
Raina felt a surge of happiness, thinking Jonah Rivers had returned. After all, he often jumped over the wall to lazily sneak back ho.
However, on closer inspection, the man’s body was tense, his movents careful, not at all like soone returning ho, but rather an intruder with ill intentions.
In The Umbral Zone, where might makes right and the strongest make the rules, it’s not unusual for people to show up seeking revenge or even commit robberies and murders in broad daylight.
Although Jonah’s identity as The Asura is unknown, he has offended quite a few people with his public persona. So, a couple of people seeking revenge is nothing unusual.
Raina quietly returned to the room, covered the canvas on the easel again, and grabbed a gun from her waist, hiding herself.
By now, the intruder was already inside the room.
Raina watched silently as five n climbed through the open window.
They carried firearms, moved lightly, and cooperated seamlessly, clearly indicating this was no ordinary burglary.
"Seems like Jonah Rivers’ enemies are here," Raina thought. Her luck really was sothing—just when she hoped to support a friend, she ran into these blind fools.
No other choice.
She would just have to play along.
Though Raina’s expression was unconcerned, she hadn’t relaxed for even a second. If she slipped up, she would be humiliated.
The five n who broke into the room cautiously surveyed the place, exchanging various hand signals to communicate.
They quickly searched the whole little house.
"No one’s here," one of them couldn’t help but speak up, "Looks like that guy nad Rivers must not have co back."
"That guy is really lucky to escape this ti."
The leader imdiately hardened his expression, "Silence! Do you want to die?"
The others instantly stiffened, lowering their heads, not daring to speak out of line.
Raina hid in a corner, listening to their conversation without missing a word.
It was evident these trained n did not break in by accident nor rely for robbery, but genuinely ca for that guy’s life.
Too bad Jonah wasn’t here—these guys really were lucky.
From their actions, Raina could see they were quite capable, but their skills paled in comparison to Jonah—certainly not enough to beat him.
Raina had no interest in ddling, ready to put away her gun and leave, but when she turned, she accidentally knocked over a flower pot on the balcony.
