Chapter 2800 Not long after, their car arrived at Steven‘s mansion in the countryside. Everything was as Denise said: Steven was not in the mansion, but the guards in the mansion were not to be underestimated. There were many muscular men standing guard everywhere. Upon parking the car at a corner, Denise pointed at the mansion not far away from them and asked, “Are you sure you can go in and bring the kid out?”
Before they arrived, she had already felt Sean could not accomplish the mission. Once they arrived, she was certain of her judgment. The mansion was guarded heavily, and it would be a miracle a thin, fragile man like Sean could succeed.
Sean squinted and looked at the mansion. He said with a smile, “Let‘s make a bet. If I can bring Riley out, you‘ll have to treat me to beer tonight.”
Denise snorted. “If you can accomplish the mission, it doesn‘t matter if I treat you to beer for the whole month.”
“Forget about it.” Sean rubbed his knuckles. “I need to take care of Riley starting tomorrow. I can‘t drink.”
With that, he opened the door and got out of the car.
Watching the man walk toward the mansion, Denise could not help but furrow her brow. Up until this point, she still did not think Sean could succeed. As she remembered the promise she made to Nigel...
She inhaled deeply and picked up her phone to call Steven, who was at this moment making his way to Mr. Zink‘s office with Gwen.
He furrowed his brow when he saw Denise calling him. He did not attempt to run from Gwen and put the call on speaker. “Denise.”
“Brother.” Denise seemed to hesitate as she spoke, “Where are you? What are you doing?”
Steven looked at Gwen and answered, “i‘m helping Joshua with something. What‘s wrong?” “...” Denise took a deep breath. “I‘m outside of your mansion in the countryside.” From Steven‘s tone, she sensitively noticed there must be Joshua‘s people beside Steven. In order not to spill information, she did not mention any words related to the child or Riley. Instead, she merely mentioned that she was at the mansion. Steven was startled, and he knew what Denise was implying. “Go back.” “I want to go in.” She bit her lip. “I want to cook something for you and wait for you to come back. Please tell them to let me in.”
“No.” Steven narrowed his eyes. “Go back now, and don‘t make me angry.”
