When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 – Thanks to Jean

Finished

Just like the last time Jean had been kidnapped, all the clues in this case had been wiped out completely–no leads, no trails, just dead ends.

Whoever was pulling the strings stayed hidden in the shadows, treating them like marionettes ont a stage. Then, once the show was over, they vanished without a trace. The way they operated; clean, efficient, and ruthless. This meant one thing–they were powerful, and dangerously good at staying invisible.

Jean furrowed her brows slightly. One question had been nagging at her. The people behind this attempt on Dominic’s life… are they the same ones who abducted me and dragged me to that estate?
