In Country X, 𝘰𝑣.𝗇𝓔t

In a mid-century style workspace. Jude Withers receives a report about their failed plan to use Carter Riley as bait. His expression darkened with anger upon hearing the news.

“What a bunch of idiots!” Jude snapped as he stood up from his chair. He slowly walked to the window and gazed at the garden outside. “How could they fail to guard Carter Riley?”

He couldn’t believe the recent string of failures within his organization. After his silver and gold teams, another team met the same fate. They had failed miserably.

Jude was now certain that Scarlett knew everything about him and the Withers organization. And to make matters worse, their systems were attacked by hackers that seemed nearly unbeatable. He began to suspect Scarlett’s involvement in this as well.

It was a clear blow to his pride and the Withers name. To be defeated by a mere girl!

Jude Withers took a deep breath, feeling anger consume him. He yearned to kill Rosalie and her daughter Scarlett. They had left him with no other choice but to play rough!

“Master, please give us an order!” one of the muscular men with blond hair in pigtails broke the silence.

Jude slowly turned to look at his trusted right-hand man. A frown appeared on his face, and for a while, he appeared to be thinking about something deeply.

“…An order? Do you also want to meet your death at Scarlett’s hands?” Jude said coldly.

After taking another deep sigh, Jude continues, “We need a plan! Scarlett is not as simple as you think. She is not just an ordinary little girl. She possesses talents just like her mother…” his voice trailed off as he thought of Rosalie. “Perhaps she is even smarter and more powerful than her mother!”

The man with long blonde hair gasped in surprise.

“Master, this girl must have a weakness, right?”

“Yes!”

“That’s our advantage. We need to attack her beloved one…” The blonde hair man suggests.

“You are so slow!! We already do that. That’s why we kidnap her brother-in-law?” Jude shook his head, feeling weary by his subordinate’s lack of understanding. Damn it!

The blonde-haired man clenched his mouth shut, waiting silently for his Master’s next order.

Jude sat back in his chair, thinking deeply about his next move. After a few moments, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips as a brilliant idea crossed his mind.

“We cannot approach her casually. We need to come up with a flawless plan to capture her!” Jude said.

“Master, it seems you have a great plan. Please instruct me! This time I will ensure there is no escape route for the little girl. I will capture her for sure,” the man with long blonde hair said, feeling excited.

Jude Withers stroked his chin in satisfaction, thrilled with his brilliant idea. He swiftly issued orders to the blonde-haired man, who responded with astonishment.

with excitement. “Rest assured, this time, we will undoubtedly succeed.” He nodded respectfully and exited the room, determined “Sir! You’re a genius!” the blonde-haired man exclaimed, brimming with excitement. “Rest assured, this time, we will undoubtedly succeed.” He nodded respectfully and exited the room, determined to set their grand plan in motion.

M Country.

Scarlett didn’t have much appetite for breakfast, but she forced herself to eat for the sake of her baby. Her heart remained unsettled after Seven’s report from last night.

Her eyes occasionally darted towards the door, hoping to see Logan’s arrival.

She needed to inform him about her plans to fly to country X within the next few hours. She couldn’t stay here and do nothing, as her uncle Noah’s life was now in danger.

Last night, she had arranged for a private jet to transport her to country X, and Fox could only secure a jet for a long-distance trip at 11 am.

Although she wished for a faster mode of transportation, the jet was the quickest option available. Even if she were to take a commercial flight, it wouldn’t be as practical as a private jet.

Soon, Logan entered the room.

“Good morning, Logan. Please take a seat,” Scarlett greeted him with a smile. “There’s something I need to discuss with you,” she said, carefully choosing her words, aware that Logan might disagree with her plan.

“Yes, please ask, madam…” Logan replied politely.

“Go and prepare your suitcase,” Scarlett paused when she noticed the shock on Logan’s face before continuing, “We will be flying to country X at 11 am.”

“What!? Why…” Logan’s voice trailed off as he saw Scarlett’s sharp expression and realized that she was serious this time — he had absolutely no chance of stopping her.

“You can’t hold me back, Logan!” Scarlett’s voice grew serious. “This is extremely important. I must fly there to help my Uncle Noah!”

“But, young madam, please wait until Master Xander arrives. We can contact him first…” Logan knew he couldn’t fully convince Scarlett, but he hoped to buy some time until Xander arrived at W Country.

“We don’t have much time!” Scarlett insisted.

Logan understood Scarlett’s stubbornness, and even Xander had never been able to win against her. However, he didn’t want to be blamed if they flew there without Xander knowing.

“Don’t worry, madam,” Logan glanced at his watch before continuing, “Master Xander will be landing in a few minutes. I will send him a text immediately,” he assured her.

Scarlett didn’t stop him because she knew the result; they would still fly!

Logan swiftly took out his cell phone and sent an urgent message to Xander.

Logan: Master, please call me as soon as you land!

Logan: This is very important!

After sending the text to Xander, Logan quickly composed another message, this time to Ben, Xander’s assistant.

As Logan busied himself with his phone, his eyes remained fixed on the screen, anxiously awaiting a call from Xander.

Meanwhile, Scarlett calmly continued her breakfast, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of her plan upon arriving in country X. However, her focus was abruptly interrupted when her cell phone vibrated.

She immediately checked her phone and was taken aback when she saw Noah Withers’ name on the screen. Her heart raced when she answered the call, her voice trembling as she spoke. “Oh my God, Uncle, you finally called me…”
