Chapter 12

Aurora could ignore everyone else, but not Jasper Bennett. He was her man, and she couldn't just stand by and watch Jasper become a pawn for the Whitmore family!

Aurora stood up and said, "Since you have other matters to attend to, I'll head back first."

Heath looked at her with amusement and said, "When you followed me here, you didn't seem to mind that I had things to handle. Now you suddenly care?"

Aurora blushed a little and said, "You go ahead with your work; I'm leaving."

"Kieran, escort Miss Pendleton," Heath ordered.

"No need, no need. I'll just grab a cab downstairs. You guys carry on," Aurora quickly waved her hand.

Kieran was indeed busy. If he couldn't find this shipment, the boss would have him torn to pieces.

Heath glanced at her and asked, "You sure you can get back on your own?"

Aurora nodded, and since Heath was tied up, he simply said, "Be careful on the road, and call me when you get there."

Aurora nodded, then headed for the elevator. Suddenly, she realized she didn't have Heath's number.

All the socialites in the city were breaking their heads trying to get Heath's contact information, but no one could find his number.

After leaving the hotel, Aurora hurriedly found an internet café, stormed in, and demanded a private booth from the owner. Once inside, she quickly logged into a website known to the assassins of the Abyss Group. As long as there was an internet connection, they could contact each other at any time.

With Aurora's rank, she could access any assassin's mission details and contact information. But this was also very risky. If someone of higher rank checked the access logs, they would discover the long-lost Olivia had reappeared!

But she couldn't care less about that now. She couldn't let Jasper die!

Aurora quickly found Jasper's mission details. His latest task was to intercept and escort a shipment not belonging to the Whitmore family, located at the dock.

Heath was just one step away from the truth!

Aurora found Jasper's phone number and called him using the phone she had borrowed from the café owner.

The phone was picked up almost immediately, and Aurora quickly said, "Jasper, leave the dock!"

"Who are you? How do you know I'm at the dock?" Jasper asked.

"I am..." Aurora hesitated. If she told Jasper that she was Olivia, how would she explain later that an assassin from Abyss had become Aurora Pendleton?

"I'm one of Olivia's people, just like you," Aurora said, thinking quickly.

"Where's Olivia? Why should I believe you?" Jasper asked.

"It's a long story. I'm just telling you to leave the dock now, or you'll soon be a corpse. If you can't trust me, trust Olivia!" Aurora said.

Jasper was silent for a long time on the other end, so Aurora added, "You were trained by Olivia herself. The tattoo on your right arm was chosen by her. Believe me! Leave the dock!"

Jasper gritted his teeth and said, "Alright!"

"Jasper, don't go back to Abyss. Find a place to hide, and I'll contact you again!" Aurora said.

Jasper hung up, and Aurora knew that if he lost the goods but escaped unharmed, Isabella Whitmore would find a way to have Dominic Ashcroft deal with him.

After hanging up, Aurora went online again and hacked into Heath's computer. She had secretly noted his computer account earlier at the hotel.

A chat window suddenly popped up on Heath's computer: "Mr. Fairbank, how about making a deal?"

Kieran's face turned white with fright. The boss's computer had been so easily hacked; they should all be ashamed.

Heath gave Kieran a look, and Kieran immediately started tracking the signal on another computer.

Aurora quickly received a reply: "What deal?"

"I know where your goods are. I'll give you the address, and you give me thirty million," Aurora said.

"Who are you? And why should I trust you?" Heath asked.

"Mr. Fairbank, you should know in business, trust is essential. If you believe me, the deal is done. If not, there's no point in talking further," Aurora said.

"I, Heath Fairbank, never do business with cowards hiding behind screens," Heath said.

Damn! Who's the coward? Aurora was so angry she wanted to smash the keyboard!

She had finally gotten information on the Whitmore family, and she couldn't let them easily swallow Heath's goods. She had to seize this opportunity to strike hard at the Whitmores!

"One last time, may I have your name?" Heath asked.

Aurora gritted her teeth: "Olivia Pendleton!"

"I've only heard of one Olivia Pendleton, a renowned international assassin. Are you interested in the Whitmore family?" Heath asked.

"It's a personal vendetta. You needn't worry, Mr. Fairbank. This deal, will you make it or not?" Aurora asked.

"The address?" Heath said.

"Payment first, then verification," Aurora replied.

She then sent her account information to Heath. It was an overseas account that Olivia had set up before, so even if Heath investigated, he wouldn't find Aurora's name.

A "ding" sound, and Aurora checked her phone message. Thirty million had been transferred!
