Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 677

Emilia's hands, which had been hanging at her sides, balled tightly into fists again.

William definitely wouldn't make it within ten minutes. And if she handed over the research results, both she and Lauren would certainly meet their end.

She had to buy more time. But no matter how fast her mind raced, she couldn't think of a way.

"Ms. Quill, are you stalling because you want me to send your grandmother to the afterlife first?"

A black-clad man with a buzz cut stood beside the masked man. After the masked man spoke, he stepped forward and once again pressed a knife to Lauren's neck.

At this sight, Emilia's fury overtook her, and she clenched her hands even tighter. Just as her nails were about to break the skin of her palms, the black-clad man holding her grandmother collapsed with a loud thud. Before anyone in the room could react, a team of people in specialized tactical gear rushed in.

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. The masked man had been caught completely off guard. Even Emilia, who was aware of William's plan, was momentarily frozen in shock. She never imagined he could act this quickly.

The criminal organization had leaked Lauren's location to humiliate William. But what they didn't know was that William had already anticipated this move. And the moment their "surprise twist" occurred, he had swiftly adapted it and worked it into his original plan.

Emilia and William had wanted Lauren to remain completely unscathed and ensure that she would be completely safe. They had been concerned about a potential firefight and the risk of Lauren getting injured.

So, the plan was to strike only after she had safely returned to them. If not for that, William and his team would've stealthily infiltrated the place together with Emilia.

To maximize Lauren's safety, they had changed their plan. Emilia would enter alone first. Then, once Lauren had safely returned home, they would strike. However, as a precautionary measure, they had retained their original plan as Plan B.

If they couldn't get Lauren safely released back to them first, Emilia and William would take the risk and force their way in.

After all, between a measured risk and a guaranteed disaster, the choice was clear. Except, this hadn't been their original plan either.

Originally, if things didn't go smoothly, Emilia would send out a signal. Only then would William lead his infiltration team in.
