Everyone murmured in a hushed yet coordinated tone, “Mr. Clarence."
Mr. Clarence nodded slightly, “Everyone, spread out and keep watch."
“Yes, sir"
All the bodyguards dispersed in unison, and Arabella, taking their lead, bowed slightly and stepped back a few paces.
She watched as Mr. Clarence pushed open a door, revealing an interior with decor and lighting similar to what she had seen
downstairs.
A bodyguard caught her gaze, but just as he looked in her direction, Arabella lowered her head and followed the other guards out
of the room.
After a while, Arabella circled back alone. She pulled out her phone, which had a special system she had been working on, and
pressed it against the door. Soon, she could hear the conversation inside.

“Eunice only brought that girl, and none of the bodyquards Bard arranged for her. Also, those guys she hired from Alexander are all
holed up in the villa; none of them stepped out. Our men have patrolled the outskirts a few times, and there's no sign of anyone
suspicious."
“That's out of character for her, almost doesn't seem like her’ mused Mr. Clarence in a reflective tone.
“Maybe she thinks tonight is just an ordinary birthday party, and besides, she rarely takes bodyguards when she goes out."
“No, you don't understand her. She used to go out without bodyguards because Bard was there, and Bard could protect her,” Mr.
Clarence said gravely. “I suspect she might have guessed something, so she deliberately didn't bring her men, aiming to bait us
into a trap"
The servant found this hard to believe.
“If she’s as smart as you say, why would she bring along a liability? That girl looks young, a Collins heiress at that. If anything goes
wrong, how is she going to handle it."
“Appearances can be deceiving,” Mr. Clarence replied thoughtfully, recalling the girl, “You didn't see how she could recover deleted
surveillance footage. Plus, with that demeanor, she's definitely not ordinary. Moreover, her status is her best protection."
“So, in your opinion, should we call off tonight's operation?” The subordinate felt it was a shame, given the tthey had spent
planning.
“Let's wait for news from the other side. If that man is taken care of, even if Eunice is prepared, we will have nothing to fear"
Arabella listened intently. Who was ‘that man’? Her grandfather? Or her uncle?
Suddenly, Arabella remembered whether her family had enough people to ensure her grandfather's safety.
And her uncle was on a business trip. Was he in danger on the road?
Suddenly, footsteps approached quickly. Arabella turned and immediately countered the incoming attack.
"Who are you? I've seen you skulking around."
Before the bodyguard could finish, Arabella subdued him with a swift combination of moves.
Those inside the study heard the commotion, exchanged glances, and opened the door to find no one outside.
"Go check it out,” Mr. Clarence ordered with an icy tone.

The servant promptly obeyed, returning after a while to report.
“Mr. Clarence, no abnormalities were found."
By this time, Arabella had already dragged the unconscious bodyguard to the adjacent master bedroom, which seemed austere
and majestic—likely Arlen's room.
His room was off-limits to the servants.
Mr. Clarence glanced at Arlen’s bedroom door but lacked the audacity to enter, ultimately just instructing coldly, “Find out who has
left the ground floor just now, and report back toimmediately!"
"Yes, sir"
After hearing this, Arabella looked around Arlen's room and found a computer.
She booted it up and hacked into the system, only to find it devoid of anything useful.
She decided to sabotage sof the ground floor surveillance and then left, returning nonchalantly to the garden.
The bodyquards checked the main hall and found all the quests accounted for, except for Eunice and Arabella.
