George did not think too much and nodded in assent." Sure. However, when we get there, we have a mission to carry out, so you'll have to act alone." "No problem." Julian nodded.

There was a dark glint in the depths of his eyes. Tomorrow would be the last day.

He would not allow anything to happen to Susan.

After he went upstairs, Julian called Joseph.

"I hope you are calling me because you want to tell me some good news," Joseph drawled.

Julian narrowed his eyes. "There are a lot of people protecting George and Oliver, so it's not that easy to do it. Tomorrow, they will go to America to carry out a mission. Their itinerary is confidential, but I can get my hand on the routes."

Joseph squinted. "What do you mean?"

"Here is my plan. I'll board their plane and install a time bomb inside. Then, I'll make up an excuse to get off the plane. According to my calculations, the plane will explode at 183° east longitude and 54° north latitude. The people on the plane might be killed by the explosion, but there is also a small chance that they will escape by using the parachutes. The perimeter of America is your territory. Once they land in that area, you can have your sniper ready to kill them. What do you think?" Julian said, his voice cold.

Joseph's eyes shrank. "Julian, you are supposed to take their lives. Why do I have to do it myself? Don't you think this is a little unfair to me?"

"You can't take it like that. As you know, I'm just a businessman. As a businessman, I'm not good at taking lives. I've already reached my limits by making them land there by force. Besides, people might be suspicious of me when they start investigating. I have risked everything I have, including my life and career, for Susie. As for you, all you have to do is deploy your man and then pull the trigger. It's such an easy job, so I don't understand why you don't want to do it," Julian said calmly.

Joseph rubbed his temples. He did not know what Julian was up to this time. He wondered whether there would be a trap waiting for him if he went along with Julian's plan.

"Susie is still in your hands, so what are you afraid o f?" Julian pressed on sternly. "Besides, I'm very anxious now, and I believe that you're feeling more or less the same way. The three-day deadline does not apply to me alone. If you fail to complete this mission, I'm pretty certain that you will be in huge trouble as well. If you cooperate with me, you will kill George and Oliver. If you refuse to agree to my plan, I don't think I'll be able to come up with a better plan in such a short time. Either we will die together, or we will succeed as a team. It's your call now."

Joseph then said coldly, "Julian, you better not play any tricks behind my back. Don't forget, Susan is..."

"Yeah, Susan is in your hands right now, so what else can I do aside from listening to you?" Julian intercepted.

"Very well then," Joseph said expressionlessly. "As long as you can guarantee that they will land in that area, I'll consider your part done and release Susan and Serenity as I promised."

"You just need to ask your men to wait at the coordinates that I gave you," Julian said, sounding a little anxious. "But you must promise me that you won't hurt Susie or Serenity."

"Don't worry." Joseph raised one of his brows. "Since you have held up your end of the deal, I'll treat them as my most distinguished guests."

"I hope you will remember what you said today," Julian repeated.

Joseph just huffed in return and then hung up the phone.

"Boss?" Rainn, who was standing next to Joseph, asked carefully.

"Notify everyone. Tell Charlotte to stop messing around. Send both Susan and Serenity back to their room and get a doctor to look after their injuries," Julian ordered. 1 "Yes, Boss," Rainn replied. Then, he began to make

calls.

Inside the cellar, Charlotte's eyes were filled with hate. She frantically hit Susan and Serenity, not stopping until the stick snapped into two pieces.

"I am exhausted. You guys replace a new stick and continue," Charlotte instructed a man standing beside her. "Remember, don't hit their heads. I don't want them to die so soon. I still have not had enough fun

yet."

"Yes," the man replied.

Then, his phone rang.

"Yes, yes. Okay, understood." After he hung up the call, he walked up to Susan and Serenity.

"Hey, you have forgotten your stick!" Charlotte shouted exasperatedly behind the man.

However, the man paid her no mind as he continued to walk toward Serenity and Susan.

"What do you want?" Serenity asked through gritted teeth while shielding Susan.

The man did not reply. He just bent down and untied the ropes on them.

Susan and Serenity had not expected something like this. The two of them looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

"What the hell are you doing? Who gave you permission to untie them?" Charlotte shouted. She

stormed toward the man with her arm raised high.

"Madam, I'm just following the Boss' orders," the man said as he nimbly avoided Charlotte's hand.

"Joseph's orders?" Charlotte's voice rose an octave. "I don't care. Nobody can release them. I order you to tie them up! I'm warning you. Everyone here is being supported by the Jenkins. Without us, you guys are nothing! If you refuse to listen to me, I..." 1

Charlotte's voice was too sharp and annoying. One of the men who could not hold back anymore went forward, hit her behind the neck, and knocked her out cold. 1

"Is it okay to knock her out?" a person asked.

"Why not? She is not our sister-in-law. She doesn't even deserve to help Boss clean his shoes," another person added.

"You are right." Other people began to chime in. All of them were looking down at Charlotte.

"Sorry for what we did earlier, Miss Shelby and Miss Wright. Can you stand by yourselves? Do you need us to carry you back to your room?" one of the men who went up to them said fawningly. Susan and Serenity helped each other up from the ground, but they did not lower their guard.

"That's not necessary. We can walk by ourselves," Susan said woodenly.

"Alright then." They all nodded in assent.

After they led them back to their room, a doctor came and tended to their wounds.

It was fortunate that Charlotte was not a great fighter, so they had not sustained any serious injuries aside from some stinging pain. Therefore, they would only need to rest for a few days. "Do you know what Joseph is up to again?" Susan frowned.

"I don't know." Serenity shook her head.

Susan gritted her teeth as a bad hunch filled her heart.

No matter what, she felt that she had to see Joseph once.
