This time, Cole grew exceedingly serious. He thought about it and his expression fell as he said, "I remember now. Previously, Sandra would wear a ring that my father had given her. Now, Sandra’s fingers are bare. I was wondering if she had grown cold toward my father and maybe that's why she took off her ring. Now that I think about it, the ring probably doesn't fit her."
Cole added, "Also, she would give all sorts of excuses t o go out.”
Jenson asked emotionally, "At what times would she leave the Yorks' villa?"
Cole replied, "Five days ago at night, four days ago at noon..."
Jenson said, "I had dealings with her those two times."
Cole was stunned. "Are you saying that Madam Nephele is hiding in the Yorks' villa?”
Jay and Jenson nodded.
Cole was infuriated and roared furiously, "F*ck, how bold could she get?! How dare she hide in the Yorks' residence?"
Cole walked out after saying those words, rolling up his sleeves while cursing, "I’ll chop you into pieces..."
Behind him, Jay and Jenson watched dazedly as he walked off. It was only until Cole walked out of the study that Jay chided him in an utterly helpless tone," Get your *ss back here, Cole Yorks!”
Cole stood at the door and glared at Jay. "You may be my cousin but that doesn’t mean you can order me around. Please be polite when you speak to me."
Jay hooked his finger at him.
Cole walked over reluctantly. "I'm no Tom, Dick, or Harry. Don't speak to me using such humiliating gestures."
Jay said, "Madam Nephele can summon poisonous snakes. She can hypnotize people in a second and use poison at critical moments... What are you going to use to fight her?"
Cole was dauntless. He rubbed his palms and said, "I haven't encountered such a well-matched opponent in a long time.”
Jay was speechless, saying, "You're not well-matched. You're no match at all."
Cole was displeased. "Are you looking down on me?”
