Chapter 503
Dr. Dawson asked again, “Are we good to go now?”
Natalia nodded
Dr. Dawson grinned, “Awesome!”
She may look like a sweet old lady but Natalia knew better than to trust anyone who was tight with Marcus. One moment, Dr. Dawson would be all smiles and politeness. The next, she could show her Irue colors and hurt her
After a while Marcus, fresh from the shower and dressed in clean clothes, emerged.
Jayden immediately approached him, “President Hartley, our team has pretty much got the lowdown on the Riverside Terrace Club. The security system here is a real brain teaser, with cameras everywhere. Trying to make a move without them noticing would be like trying to nail jelly to a tree. But with a few tricks up our sleeve, we’ve found a safe passageway out Zavier won’t see it coming”
“Good job” Marcus said.
“Are we leaving now?” Jayden asked.
Marcus didn’t want to waste another second here, “Yes. But keep our eyes on the ball. We need to find out who Zavier’s partner is ”
“Already on it.” Jayden said, “Anyone who contacts him won’t slip past us.”
Marcus nodded, and they all exited via the balcony
”
A while after their departure. Natalia, trembling, picked herself up off the floor
She went to the bathroom, intending to wash her face and clear her head, maybe think of a way to escape, but the sight of Marcus discarded clothes stopped her. He’d left them behind, considering them dirty. She picked up his shirt and smelled it. His scent was surprisingly pleasant. Despite knowing him for many years, it was her first time taking it in It was addictive
The Riverside Terrace Club was a maze of traps and surveillance. The average Joe couldn’t get in without a guide, let alone get out.
Yet Marcus and his crew managed to leave without a hitch, a feat that required a team even more powerful than Zavier’s.
Once outside the Riverside Terrace Club, the street lights illuminated the road. Dr. Dawson noticed that Marcus looked paler than before, and swiftly took out some pills from her medical bag. “Marc, you just promised Cornelia that you’d take care of yourself. What the hell happened? Take these pills, now. The red ones will counteract the poison in your system, and the white ones are for the alcohol.”
Ever since he’d been set up by Courtney, Marcus always carried the antidotes Dr. Dawson had given him. But after spending too much time in such a toxic environment that night, the poison in his system had increased significantly This, along with the alcohol he’d consumed, rendered the previous antidotes ineffective.
