<b>Chapter </b><b>392 </b>
Vanessa stared at the blinking red dot on the screen. “White Fox’s <b>signal </b>vanished right here”
She zoomed out, scanning for information on the location.
<b>It’s </b>a pretty remote ce–property’s under Ondo’s name. Her expression grew tense, “So, thussell’s got White For?”
Arta nodded, “Looks that way.”
She wasn’t surprised. She’d hall expected it. But that didn’t make the situation any lessplicated.
Russell wasn’t someone White Fox could afford to kill.
“I’m going after him,”“” Aria <b>said</b>,
Vanessa looked worried. “That’s White Fox’s choice. He’s in the Solemnity Guild–he knew the risk. You ako ob, you gotta be ready to die for it,”
Aria’s voice hardened. “White Fox is only here because of me. I need to set things straight.”
Vanessa knew there was no stopping her. She just handed over the car keys. <b>“</b>Just… be careful, okay? Nothing’s more important than your own life.”
“Got it.” Aria took the keys without hesitation and left at a brisk pace.
Two hourster, as night fell, Aria arrived at the isted property.
The area was silent, steeped in an eerie <b>destion</b>.
In the distance, harsh white lights zed.
Aria stopped out and walked straight toward the light, making no attempt to <b>hide</b><b>. </b>
It wasn’t long before she found herself staring down the barrels of a dozen guns.
The leader checked his phone, then locked <b>up </b>“it’s <b>her</b>. Bring her in.”
When one of them reached for Aria’s arm, she intercepted <b>him </b>with b sharp grip. “I can walk on my own.”
The leader hesitated, recalling the cold look Russell had given when they’d caught White Fox. He wasn’t sure what Russell wanted with this woman, so hi didn’t push it “Fine. Follow me.”
ide, and the first thing she saw was White Fox.
Aria followed them inside,
He was forced to kneel on the floor, blood spattered down his shirt<b>, </b><b>a </b>man behind him pressing a gleaming de to his artery.
<b>Russell </b>sat nearby on a sofa, watching her with icy contempt. “Right on time, aren’t you?”
<b>White </b>Fox lifted his head at the sound, and the lifeless look in his eyes was reced by a flicker <b>of </b>panic
Aria Go! Leave me! His voice shook, and the de nicked his skin, sending a thin line of blood down his neck.
Aria met White Fox’s eyes, her voice quiet and haunting. “Did Curtis make <b>you </be here!”
White Fox gritted his teeth and stayed <b>silent</b>.
“I’m sorry.
Aria said. “This is my <b>fault </b>
White Fox had never shed a tear, no matter how much <b>he </b>was hurt. But hearing that, he couldn’t hold back.

Russell’s gaze darkened, murderous intent ring as he crushed his ss in one hand. “A, there’s someone
ss shards dug into his palm, and blood welled up as he stroked them absently.
He barely seemed to notice, rising to his feet, eyes locked on A. “Tell me how did you survive that night?”
Aria tilted her head, her smile cold <b>as </b><b>ice</b>. “Mr. Nicholson, do you honestly think I shouldn’t have?”
Hiding in the shadows, Olivia froze as she heard Sara’s name,
Her fingers curled into fists, heart pounding in her chest. She didn’t dare move closer.
Russell’s voice was low and furious. “<b>Sara’s </b>dead<b>. </b>So why the hell are you still alive?”
The rage burning in his eyes was wild, twisted, murderous.
He couldn’t understand why A <b>survived </b>while <b>Sara </b>died.
His killing intent
twas almost <b>palpable</b>.
<b>Olivia </b>could feel <b>it</b>, even from a distance.
She’d thought Russell might’ve let Sara go after all these years, but now she realized he’d never stopped ming himself, or Aria.
But Ania didn’t flinch. She stared right back at him. “Why I’m alive is none of your business. <b>But </b>your sister’s death? That’s on you. If you’re looking for someone to me, look in the mirror. You failed to protect her. All you can do now is throw a tantrum.”
“Aria…” White Foxx was terrified she’d gone too far–afraid she’d never make it out alive.
Ho pleaded, “Russell, <b>Sara’s </b>death <b>had </b>nothing to do with Aria. The person who killed her. Aria already took care of them.”
Russell let out a bitterugh, looking down at White Fox with scorn. “And who the hell <b>are </b>you to say that? Sara died because of her, didn’t she? <b>Just </b>like you look where trusting her has gotten you“.
White Fox’s gaze was unwavering. “So what? ift die here, that’s my fate, Nobody else is responsible.”
If he hadn’t thrown his lot in with Aria, he would’ve died long ago. At least now, if he died in her country, someone would see him buried.
Russell’s eyes narrowed. “You’re really going to bat for her, huh?”
Aria cut in. “What <b>do </b>you want to let him go?”
A twisted smile yed on Russell’s lips. “A life for a life. He walks out, you stay.”
White Fox shook his head desperately, ignoring the de at his throat. “Aria, get out of here. This is my fate–Curtis will never let me go.”
Russell lost patience. “I don’t have time for this melodrama. You have one minute, Aria. Make a choice, or have his head.”
Aria let <b>out </b><b>a </b>softugh. “You’re not going to kill him!
Russell sneered. “<b>Oh</b>? I wouldn’t bet on him surviving the night.”
“He’s the only one who can get you what you want,” Aria whispered, so Olivia couldn’t hear.
Olivia thought, “What is <b>she </b>telling him?”
She edged closer, anxiety knotting in her chest.
Russell nced her way, then looked back at White Fox. “Did you know Sara?”
Chapter <b>392 </b>
White For was silent, his eyes full ofplicated emotion. Another person who knew Sara.
Olivia panicked, drew her gun, and alimed it at White Fox on the flone. “Russell, he hurt you. He can’t leave Barg
Aria Stepped in front of White Fox, blocking her alm. “Olivia, if he dies, you won’t be able to keep everything hidden”
“You dare threaten me… Olivia started, but bit her tongue, ncing at Russell.
“He shot Russell in the shoulder Someone needs to pay for that.”
The more people who knew, the greater the risk. White Fus had to die.
Aria walked closer, grabbed the gun’s barrel. “Olivia, the real problem is Curtis. He’s the mole.”
Olivia’s eyes flickered. She wanted Curtis dead too.
As long as he was alive, he was a threat.
For now, she’d <b>put </b>up with Aria and White Fox
She didn’t lower her <b>gun</b>, but looked at Russell, worry etched on her face. “Fine, let White Fox go. But he shot Russell in the shoulder–who’s going to answer for that?”
A asked<b>, </b>“If we settle that score, do we walk out of here?”
Olivia hesitated, then nodded. “Yes<b>” </b>
Suddenly, Aria reached out and snatched the gun from Olivia’s hand.
