Chapter 497
She thought, ‘Maybe the Nicholson family?
‘Or the Goodwin family?
‘Or the Rivers family?’
Whether these people were actually in cahoots was still under investigation.
“I’ll let Hillcrest know what you think,” Wylder said..
Then Wylder switched gears, asking, “But what was up with you getting nabbed last time?”
As soon as Nina got taken, they launched a full-on search and rescue.
But before they could even figure out who was behind it, she’d already shown up in Hillcrest.
And then she went and cracked a case that rocked the whole city
Wylder was totally blown away.
She was seriously impressive.
But as an officer, she was never one to just follow orders.
Leaders loved her, but she also gave them headaches.
She was always catching people off guard.
And she did things her way, no matter what anyone else said.

But if there was one thing Wylder knew for sure, it was that Nina truly loved her country. Just like Ruby, there was no way she’d ever betray it.
“The Sherman family,” Nina said, pressing her lips together. “They’re into cloning people. As for the ones who snatched Scarlet, I can’t say for sure if it was for the same reason.”
“What? Cloning people?” Wylder asked. His face changed. “What’s their goal?”
“They’re aiming for regime change. They’ve already started their first round of experiments, but they failed. The drug Scarlet developed can alter human genes. Sherman Manor couldn’t find Scarlet, so they came after me instead,” Nina said, her tone cool.
Wylder gave Nina a long, searching look. “You and Vincent, huh? You two seem pretty tight.”.
Nina raised an eyebrow, a half-smile tugging at her lips. “Funny ow you only get smart when it’s about me, huh?”
Wylder fell silent.
He thought, ‘Come on, that’s not even the same thing!
She was a first-class operative, after all.
She was the top priority for both protection and surveillance..
They dug into her background with extra scrutiny, leaving no stone unturned.

Chapter 497
To put it harshly, hands down, Nina was more dangerous than Riggs ever was.
She was a total wild card; no one could ever predict her next move.

Nina didn’t bother beating around the bush with Wylder. She said, “Whatever’s happening with Sherman Manor has nothing to do with Vincent. If the time comes, he’ll step in to help us.”
Wylder let out a sigh of relief, saying, “Alright, I’ll let the higher-ps know.”
Wylder paused, then said, “But the higher-ups want me to ask. Where did you get the bomb
I used on Sherman Manor?” you
Nina flashed a wicked grin, asking, “Trying to shake me down?”
Before Wylder could get a word in, Nina cut him off. “Not a chance. That was all thanks to Elaine’s connections.”
Wylder fell silent.
Elaine herself wasn’t exactly suspicious or anything.
But she was a huge donor to the country.
She did it every year.
She had easily given over a billion by now.
Wylder let out a long sigh.
‘Better not mess with them,’ Wylder thought, shaking his head.
Everyone around Nina was someone who just didn’t want to cross.
Nina just smirked, didn’t say another word, and turned to leave.
Simon was waiting for her at the entrance of Wylder’s place.
As soon as Nina got in, Simon fired up the engine.
“Nina, we found the medics,” Simon reported. “They parachuted but when the plane went down, but got stranded on a deserted island with no signal. A merchant ship picked them up yesterday. They’re back in Frontierland now.”
Nina nodded, asking, “So, what’s Vivian been up to lately?”
By all accounts, Vivian should be upping her game and putting more on the line to help Lily climb higher at this point.
“Still at the Lowell family’s place,” Simon replied.
Nina raised an eyebrow, asking, “She hasn’t left yet?”
“Yeah, we found out she took a month off. Looks like she’s planning to stick around at the Lowell family for a while,” Simon said, pausing before adding, “But the Lowell family’s been busy setting up a pharmaceutical company lately.”
Nina’s lips curled into a faint smile. She said, “Mrs. Swanson really is something else.”
She’d originally planned to help Vivian get Lily into the Nicholson family.
But since Vivian still had something else to take care of, Nina fig red she could wait.
She wanted to see what Vivian was really capable of.
