Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 120

Still, not getting to taste that exquisite little beauty—a perfect blend of an angel and a demon—was an absolute tragedy!

...

At the Recess Club.

"Mr. Jennings, Steve—the man you ordered us to keep an eye on—has checked out of the Astoria Grand Hotel. The rest of his crew went with him."

Sheridan Jennings leaned back lazily in his executive leather chair, radiating an air of complete nonchalance.

"Since they're gone, we can drop the surveillance. It's better this way. I was starting to worry they were plotting a move against the club."

"Understood, sir. Though our men did catch something highly unusual outside the hotel before they left."

"How unusual? Give me the details."

The assistant quickly reported the findings. "Our team observed Steve attempting to launch an attack on Ms. Hawthorne, your sister's friend, right at the hotel entrance."

Sheridan's brows furrowed deeply. "Steve went after Stella? Why?"

Stella was Sylvie's close friend and had practically saved her in the past. He couldn't help but be concerned.

Not to mention, she was just an innocent, beautiful young woman. He couldn't let a brute like Steve target her.

"The motive is currently unclear, but our team managed to record the incident on their phones. Please, take a look."

The assistant pulled out his phone, pulled up the video, and handed it to Sheridan.

Sheridan exhaled a sharp breath after watching the clip. "That girl has incredible luck. She managed to dodge him by sheer coincidence."

"Who knows, maybe Steve just took a liking to her. It's a good thing they've already left the country, so she's no longer in danger. Keep this entirely quiet—don't mention a word of this to my sister. I don't want her stressing over it."

"Understood, Mr. Jennings."
