Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 687

"Don't go. I won't say it again. I was just terrified that you'd be so moved by Sean's actions that you'd fall for him!"

"I was incredibly moved, yes. But does being moved mean I have to throw myself at him?"

"Alright, alright, I'll drop it. As for the incident, I had George look into it. The man pulling the strings was Lucas Maddox. How do you want to handle your revenge?"

At the mention of Lucas Maddox, a dangerous, icy glint flashed in Elena's eyes.

"I definitely won't let Lucas Maddox off the hook, but let's save him for Sean to deal with personally. Giving Sean that chance will help him find some closure. However, Lucas Maddox is just a pawn. There's someone else calling the shots. That Viper guy wasn't working for Lucas Maddox at all; he was the one giving Lucas the orders. The person backing Viper is the real mastermind."

Dylan completely agreed with Elena's analysis.

"I came to the exact same conclusion. On my way to the warehouse, I was intercepted by a hit squad. It felt eerily similar to the group that abducted me years ago. There's a strong chance the person orchestrating this is the same person who left me paralyzed back then."

"Whatever the case, we just need to keep our eyes on Viper. If we track his movements and follow the trail, we'll definitely expose the mastermind!"

That night, those men were undeniably out for Dylan's life.

Their target wasn't just Elena; he had been factored into the equation all along.

"That works out perfectly. Once we expose the mastermind, I can help you settle the score from years ago, too!"

Dylan gazed down at Elena and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.

"Right now, the only thing on my mind isn't revenge, but holding you. Elena, let me hold you as we sleep tonight, okay?"

"Okay," Elena murmured in agreement.

Elena nestled comfortably into Dylan's arms.

Outside, the moonlight was bright and clear. The night was peaceful and perfectly beautiful.

Early the next morning.

Elena woke up naturally.

She noticed the space beside her was empty.

Dylan had gotten up at some point. Had he already left for the office?

Just as Elena was about to step out and look for him, Dylan pushed the door open and walked in.
