Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 496

"Of course I'm serious. Why would I joke about something like that? There's no reason to." Stella popped a perfectly poached egg into her mouth, closing her eyes in sheer satisfaction.

"Oh my god. Thank you, Ms. Todd. Thank you! I'm going to eat. I'm going to eat until I'm completely full so I have enough energy to run."

Serena was practically vibrating with joy as she shoveled the food down.

Going home!

They were finally going home!!

Ms. Todd wasn't lying to her!!!

"Slow down. It'd be a tragedy to choke to death before you even make it to the border."

"Ms. Todd, I'm just so happy."

Everyone knew that the people who were dragged here never made it out alive. The fact that she was going home so soon was nothing short of a miracle.

...

At the docks, Tiger led his top enforcers to facilitate the exchange.

He had been prepping for this specific transaction for over a month.

The entire area had been swept and secured by his men. If this deal went through, he was going to make an absolute fortune.

It wasn't just a single exchange today; multiple high-level transactions were happening simultaneously, meaning there was zero room for error.

He had been working around the clock, so busy he hadn't even been able to visit his little woman for a week.

Once this was over, he planned to take a long break and spend some quality time with her at the villa.

That was why he had agreed to her request for a companion a week ago. Being cooped up in the house alone had to be incredibly boring for her.

He checked his watch. It was almost time. The boats were approaching from the water.

A smug grin spread across his face. The payload was almost his.

The buyers weren't just arriving by sea; others were pulling up in armored convoys from land routes.

"Haha, Tiger! Good to see you again."

"Good to see you too."
