Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 279

He had no idea that Mr. Ashcroft's illness had already been cured. Mr. Ashcroft had only reported his health status to the higher-ups, but the news hadn't been made public yet.

However, he did know that Mr. Ashcroft was under the care of a doctor. As for the progress, that remained unclear.

The middle-aged man's gaze returned to the surveillance screens. "Mr. Everhart's been here all along, it's a bit tricky for me to approach that kid for a chat."

He'd been lurking around, waiting for a chance to talk to Miranda. Ever since he'd seen the video of her first time at the shooting range, she'd caught his attention. But there had always been someone meddling, so he'd paused his observations for a while.

Today, he'd arranged for Mr. Ashcroft to come over for some shooting practice and was surprised to see the girl again. Witnessing her marksmanship firsthand left him restless.

This girl had been under his watch for a while. Her familiarity with firearms and her technical prowess were textbook-level impressive.

Every firearm has its unique handling and shooting technique, yet she mastered them with ease. Her grip was perfect, like she'd undergone special training in the military. Her shooting accuracy was astonishing!

However, with Sebastian around, approaching her was out of the question.

Mr. Ashcroft chuckled. "That's easy. Watch me."

Timothy Temple was puzzled. Was Mr. Ashcroft always this ostentatious?

Mr. Ashcroft snapped a photo with his phone and opened WhatsApp to send it. Timothy glanced at the screen and saw the contact name—Elian.

Wait. Was Mr. Ashcroft sending the photo to him?

Elian, who usually took his time to respond to Mr. Ashcroft's messages, replied almost instantly.

Elian typed, "Address?"

Mr. Ashcroft sent a voice message, "Shooting range."

After sending it, Mr. Ashcroft put down his phone with a satisfied look. "Just wait."

Timothy was still confused. What did that mean?

But he waited there, eager for a chance to talk to Miranda and curious to see what the fuss was about. Honestly, he was looking forward to meeting this guy. After all, it had been three years.

In those three absent years, Elian turned into a legend for his exploits.

Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, Elian's figure appeared on the surveillance screen. Dressed casually, he had the air of an effortlessly relaxed aristocrat. But his brisk pace betrayed urgency.
