Chapter 2429

Soon, the group arrived at their destination, but it was not the hotel they originally stayed at. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Sandra took care of getting rooms for everyone.

Then Nori said, “I’m going to a phone call,” and left the others.

Once Edgar saw Nori finally leaving, he let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing as if the weight on his shoulders were visibly lifted, Anderson could not help but burst into laughter again.

“Edgar, if Mr. Jefferson saw you like this now, he would probably be pleased.”

Anderson and Edgar were acquainted from long ago. After all, they were part of the same circle. They had met a few times due to social interactions among their elders.

“Oh, come on, Anderson, stop teasing me. I just arrived in Qari, and I’m already experiencing those situations. Who’d be able to handle it?”

Now that Nori was not around, Edgar returned to his usual nonchalant demeanor.

At that moment, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and lowered his voice, quietly asking, “Tell me honestly, what is Nori up to? You’ve been with him for so long, you must know everything… And who was the last person he talked to on the phone, and why did Nori hang up directly?”

Although Edgar was a bit of a wastrel, he still had some basic qualities as a member of a prestigious family. And, although Nori did not say anything a just now, Edgar keenly sensed that the last phone call was not something simple.

Anderson hesitated for a moment, seemingly contemplating whether to tell Edgar something. Although she had also been playing dumb just now, her sharp mind had already been guessing some things.

“My dearest friend, please tell me, or I’ll suffocate to death.”

Looking at Edgar’s anxious eyes, Anderson smiled and said, “Then suffocate…”

“Nori just said to observe more and ask fewer questions. How come you forgot about it shortly after he left?”

Edgar instantly felt dejected. “This is getting boring. Sigh, I’m going back to my room.”

Afterward, Edgar turned his back to the two, raised his hand in a dismissive gesture, and walked into his own room.

Anderson watched Edgar’s retreating figure and immediately showed a worried expression on her initially calm face.

“Miss Maynard, you don’t need to worry. Nori has everything under control.” Sandra reassured her in a soft voice.

Just as Anderson was about to say something, she heard a familiar voice. “What’s causing our Miss Maynard to look so troubled and restless?”

It was Nori returning after making the phone call.

“Barne, tell me honestly, was the last call from someone from the Kurt family? And is that assassin also from the Kurt family?”

Even before the banquet, Nori had told Anderson about the secret contact he had with a member of the Kurt family after the wedding.

Nori did not hide anything and nodded openly, “Yes, the call was indeed from the Kurt family member who contacted me before. As for the assassin, it’s highly likely that they were sent by Kimbra to vent his anger.”

Upon hearing this, Anderson became anxious and exclaimed, “Then why don’t you let the Elvis family help? What if they continue sending assassins? And that person from the Kurt family should be able to help too. At least they can provide some information.”

Nori responded in a calm tone, “I’m not informing the Elvis family because I’m afraid of alerting the enemy… As for the person from the Kurt family, I’m afraid that if I call them, the assassins from the Kurt family will arrive upon hearing the news before I receive any information from them.”

Anderson’s expression changed drastically!
