Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1209: Solving Trouble

Thomas Grant and Patrick Sullivan were somewhat uncertain because from the outside looking in, the room was still pitch black.

Normally, Jennings shouldn’t have returned to the room yet.

Besides, according to their plan, Jennings was currently busy discussing another business acquisition plan with Lord Keaton.

Yes, Lord Keaton’s task tonight was to keep Jennings engaged.

As long as Lord Keaton hadn’t sent any message, Jennings couldn’t possibly appear.

Feeling frustrated, Thomas Grant decided to enter the room, his intuition telling him there was definitely something hidden inside.

Thus, he and Patrick Sullivan leaped into the room one after the other, then hid in the darkness.

But after hiding for a while, there was still no other activity in the room; Jennings hadn’t returned, and it didn’t seem like anyone else had entered the room.

After seeing the assurance in each other’s eyes, they began to act again.

Patrick Sullivan immediately took a position by the room’s door, pressing his ear against the door to ensure no one was about to enter.

While Thomas Grant swiftly searched the room, making sure no one else was inside, and then moved toward the place they suspected had a hidden compartment.

However, just as Thomas Grant was approaching that corner, a handgun was suddenly pointed at his forehead in the dark.

Thomas Grant immediately raised both his hands and stepped back.

"Helmsman Grant!" Patrick Sullivan was also slightly panicked.

But from his corner, he could only see by the moonlight through the window that Thomas Grant was being forced to retreat with a gun pointed at his head; he couldn’t see the face of the gun-holder.

Until that person also stepped into the moonlight streaming through the window, only then did Patrick Sullivan recognize it was...

"Susan Carter?"

Not only was Patrick Sullivan surprised, but Thomas Grant was also taken aback.

They hadn’t expected to run into Susan Carter here.

After a moment of calm, Thomas Grant steadily moved away the gun Susan was pointing at his head.

Susan also seemed unwilling to confront Thomas Grant, and soon put her gun away.

"What are you doing here?"

Thomas Grant frowned, looking at Susan.

But then he remembered, Susan had been following July Quinn closely.

With July Quinn missing this time, he must have noticed something was amiss too.

However, Thomas Grant still couldn’t be sure whether Susan was here to rescue July Quinn or to kill her.

After all, previously, July Quinn had used special means to make Susan, the leader of the Alpha Mercenary Corps, acknowledge her as their boss.

"It has nothing to do with you. Just don’t get in my way."

Susan said as she leisurely opened a pack of chocolate to eat.

After all, he hadn’t even had dinner before sneaking in.

Even if they couldn’t find any trace of July Quinn tonight, he didn’t plan on leaving.

He wanted to monitor Jennings, to see if he had hidden July Quinn somewhere other than Newmont Castle.

Prepared for a prolonged battle, replenishing his strength was an essential preparation.

Patrick Sullivan felt a bit uneasy.

After all, he was well aware of Susan’s background and ignoring him completely was not an option.

But just then, there was a noise outside the door.

"It seems like there’s someone in the room; hurry and get inside."

It was the old butler’s voice.

Evidently, Patrick Sullivan’s earlier panicked noise had drawn the old butler’s attention.

Now, he had called people over to help catch them.

"Damn it! Look at the mess you’ve caused!"

Susan was really dissatisfied with the commotion the two had caused.

"You need to solve the trouble you’ve brought yourselves."

Susan pulled out his gun again.

At this time, news came from Kyle Keaton’s side—Jennings had returned.

Thus, Thomas Grant had to make a decision.

"Patrick, let’s jump out the window and lead them away."

With them handling their mess, Susan had no objections.

So, as the people outside pushed open the room door, Thomas Grant and Patrick Sullivan simultaneously leapt out the window, while Susan once again faded into the shadows of the room...
