Chapter 240 Trap
Dylan had a hearty meal and a good night’s sleep. He rushed over early in the morning to find George, and he noticed this dilapidated building.
He whispered. “Mr. George, did you sleep here last night?”
The environment is so harsh. Mr. George’s even got dark circles under his eyes.
George steadfastly insisted on remaining at the building. He waited for over half an hour before he saw Isabelle and Yves return.
Clearly, the two had known each other for years, and their relationship remained unaffected. Yves still affectionately calls Isabelle a sweetheart.
After a trip outside. Isabelle had fully awakened, and her mood had improved.
As soon as they returned, and before they even entered the door, Yves’s men patrolling nearby came to report. “The Warners have sent someone here.”
Yves was in a bad mood. Since he couldn’t fight with George, he could unleash his rage on the people Warner had sent here. Yves opened the door and welcomed them.
However, the Warners didn’t come for revenge.
“Our chief, Josh Reeve, would like to have a chat with you.
Jim raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s this about? A trap?”
Isabelle raised a slight eyebrow in wonderment. Josh Warner? Josh Reeve?
The Warners looked at Isabelle and said, “Chief Josh said he knows where the person you’re looking for is.”
Later, the group arrived at the Warners‘ territory.
Josh greeted them with a smile and said. “Welcome, everyone–Mr. George? You’re here, too. It was nice to meet you. Alcott is particularly lively this year.”
Josh Warner? Josh Reeve? George was surprised to see a familiar face. Isn’t this guy supposed to be Jasiel’s
foster son?
George glanced at Isabelle and thought to himself. Isabelle had killed Jasiel; why didn’t she kill this guy
too?
“Please sit down.” Josh invited them to sit down, serving them various delicacies.
A few days ago, Josh had been oppressed by Ryan with no say at all. Now, he has adopted a bossy demeanor.
Isabelle’s speculation has always been extreme. She guessed Ryan was either killed by Josh or summoned home by the Warners.
Of course, the lives or deaths of irrelevant people had nothing to do with her.

Chapter 240 Trap
Josh smiled slightly and said, “I want to talk to you alone. Is that okay?”
As soon as he said this, Josh felt two unfriendly gazes.
Yves sat with an air of authority. His lovely eyes were supposed to convey warmth when he looked at people, but instead, they seemed to regard everyone as worthless, especially now, filled with contempt.
“You have two minutes. If you don’t speak, I’ll kill you.”
Josh didn’t mind and simply said with a smile. “Mr. Yves, I’ve heard of your great reputation. It’s an honor
to meet you.”
Yves replied, “You have one and a half minutes.”
Josh sighed helplessly and told Isabelle candidly, “Before this, Heart K came to Alcott and went to the territory of the big drug lord next door. As for what they did, I don’t know.”
Isabelle said coldly, “You didn’t mention that a few days ago.”
Josh sighed and said, “I didn’t think of it at the time, but what I said was true. If you’re looking for Spadille, there’s a good chance he’s there.”
Yves sneered, “Is this useless nonsense all you have?”
Isabelle said coldly, “You wasted an hour of my time.”
Josh said apologetically. “I’m sorry that I couldn’t help you much. If you need my help, I’m willing to do so for free. I hope we can be friends.”
Yves snorted and asked, “Friends? You don’t deserve it.”
He stood up and continued, “You know how to adapt, don’t you? Despite the burning of your auction house and the deaths of many of your men, you continue to serve your enemies. The Warners corporate culture is quite interesting.”
Facing Mr. Yves’s ridicule, Josh didn’t get angry; he said, “They say that from an exchange of blows, friendship grows.”
Yves replied, “Too bad. I prefer an outright villain to a hypocrite.
“I’ll be staying in Alcott for a while. You better stay out of my way. If you dare to stand in my way, I will detonate not only this branch but the entirety of Warners.
With that being said, Yves put his arm around Isabelle’s shoulders and said, “Sweetheart, let’s go.”
