First...
Willow Grant had always been confident in her grades, but ever since she joined the prep class, her confidence had been repeatedly undermined by Sumr Monroe.
At this mont, upon hearing Mrs. Grant’s inquiry, she found herself unable to give a definitive answer.
However, Willow Grant then thought—
It was well-known that Sumr Monroe was better in calculus and English than she was.
But since Sumr Monroe skipped a Chinese exam, she should still be able to take first place, right?
Thinking of this, Willow Grant gritted her teeth and nodded, saying: "I shouldn’t have any problem taking first place."
"That’s good, make sure to perform well in front of Susan Stone when the ti cos."
"I understand."
Willow Grant nodded and looked out the window.
Heavens bless, she would certainly do more good deeds in the future, and hoped she could maintain her first-place position just like in high school.
...
On the other side.
The Vanguard.
The team from The Vanguard was checking Crestfall’s surveillance all the way and quickly locked in on an apartnt building.
"This is the place."
The deputy team leader pointed at the surveillance screen and turned to Sumr Monroe, asking, "Do we need to go arrest soone right away?"
Sumr Monroe hesitated for two seconds and shook her head, saying, "First, confirm the identity of the other party, then I’ll decide."
"Understood."
The deputy team leader got up and went to investigate the apartnt building.
Soon, the deputy team leader returned with the docunts.
"Miss Monroe, please take a look."
Sumr Monroe nodded, reached out, and took them.
According to the docunts, this apartnt building was rented out a few weeks ago, and the person renting it was...
"Willow Grant?"
Seeing this na, Sumr Monroe felt both surprised and as if it was expected.
She always knew Willow Grant wasn’t as harmless as she appeared, but she didn’t expect Willow Grant to be vicious enough to harbor murderous intent against her.
"Ha..." Sumr Monroe let out a cold laugh, her eyes deep as an abyss, even Cece next to her felt a chill down her back.
"Miss Monroe." Cece steadied herself and asked, "Should we go deal with her right away?"
"Not just yet."
"Hmm? But the evidence is already conclusive, shouldn’t we apprehend her?"
"I would like to." Sumr Monroe sighed and said, "But Damian Knight is currently in Rivain discussing a cooperation. The Grant Family is the leader there, and I’m afraid if sothing happens here, it might negatively affect Damian Knight. So, we’ll wait until he returns from the cooperation talks. Until then, don’t alert the enemy, and don’t inform Damian Knight yet."
As much as she knew Damian Knight, as soon as he knew the Grant Family targeted her, he would tear into them without considering his own interests.
So, no matter how outrageous Willow Grant’s actions were, she had to endure for now.
"Understood." Cece nodded and retreated with Bella.
Their duty was to appear when Sumr needed them and not to disturb her when she didn’t.
After Cece and Bella left, Sumr Monroe instructed the deputy team leader coldly: "Your team from The Vanguard specializes in investigating the dirty dealings of the elite families; have you investigated the Grant Family before?"
The deputy team leader shook his head and said, "The Grant Family had always been on good terms with the Knight Group, so we didn’t investigate out of respect."
"Very well, now you can start investigating them."
The deputy team leader had been worried after Stella Monroe was rescued, feeling there was no chance to redeem himself, but now the opportunity had arrived, which pleased him.
"Yes!"
"But let reiterate, don’t alert them. Gather evidence first and, when the ti is right, take decisive action."
"Yes!"
After making all the arrangents, Sumr Monroe got up and left The Vanguard, heading to Ross Hospital.
Since it was the Grant Family, that guy she tripped over at the hospital didn’t have to wait for death; he still had value, so she might as well spend so ti helping him with treatnt.
