280.Chapter 280

Kevin said worriedly, “Dad, going back there is like walking right into the lion’s den

But Leo just shrugged. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

He narrowed his eyes. “I want to see what they’re really up to.”

Seeing how worried Kevin was, he added, “Don’t worry. I’ll bring a few bodyguards with me.”

Kevin finally nodded. “Alright, just be careful. If anything happens, call us right away.”

This time, Leo gave Mavis a heads-up and told her he’d be home tonight.

Mavis knew her husband was about to crack.

Later that evening.

Leo headed back to the old house, bringing a few bodyguards along with him.

Mavis came out to greet him, and when she saw the bodyguards, she gave him a sharp look. “Why are you bringing bodyguards home? What, you think I’m out to get you or something?”

‘Does he really not trust me at all?’ she thought.

His actions cut deep, and she was fuming.

Leo shot her a glance. “That’s exactly why.”

Mavis was left speechless for a second. ‘He really does see this house as a snake pit,’ she thought.

Leo walked into the living room and sat down, cutting straight to the chase. “What did you do to me when I came back the night before last?”

Mavis was caught off guard-she hadn’t expected him to notice.

Her eyes flickered with unease, but she forced herself to stay calm. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Mavis replied.

Leo suddenly asked, “That miracle doctor is Nicole’s real father, right? Did he have you drug me?”

Her eyes widened in shock, and Mavis blurted out, “How did you know?”

Only after she said it did she realize she’d just walked right into his trap.

She really hadn’t expected her husband to catch on.

But they barely took two steps before their bodies went limp, and every single one of them crumpled to the ground.

Mavis stroked her unconscious husband’s face and said, “That miracle doctor really is impressive-he even had me make an extra backup plan.

“Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, you can forget about ever leaving me again.”

With that, she got up and put out the rest of th Successfully unlocked!

If she hadn’t lit that sleep-inducing incense first, au use activany pullon, there’s no way she could’ve handled her husband and all those bodyguards.

She fired off a message to the doc, telling him to send someone over and take care of the bodyguards

She’d already sent the servants away-they wouldn’t be around for the next couple of days

As for Felix, the doc had already bought him off. He was part of their crew now

Now that her husband was in their hands, what happened next was entirely up to her and her crew

There was a fierce determination in her eyes-soon, everything the Hammond family owned would be hers and her daughter’s for the taking.
