Chapter 735
Chapter 735:
Jorge stayed behind in the car, his gaze locked on the villa’s entrance, steeling himself for the action to unfold.
Suddenly, the sound of an incoming text message made Jorge shiver. He hurriedly grabbed his phone.
It was a message from Harlan. “How’s the situation?”
Jorge responded quickly, “We’re set up, just waiting for her to show herself.”
Shortly after Jorge’s response, another text from Harlan arrived. “Excellent! Succeed, and you’ll lead the Lambert family.”
Jorge expressed his gratitude in a reply, then turned his attention back to the villa.
Minutes slowly passed. The time for Janice to leave was approaching.
“Something isn’t right!” Suddenly, an urgent voice came over Jorge’s intercom. “The villa’s too quiet. They should be getting ready to depart. What’s going on?”
Jorge’s heart sank. The assassins were about to discover the truth. “Move! Let’s storm in together!” Jorge called out as he leaped from the car and dashed towards the villa. “They might be escaping out the back!”
The mercenaries wasted no time, surging after Jorge into the villa. However, when they breached the interior, it was eerily empty, no one in sight.
“What’s going on here? We’ve been tricked!”
“K, scan the area.”
As the mercenaries scoured the villa, Jorge quietly secured the main door behind them.
The mercenaries’ expressions turned grave. It dawned on them that they had been deceived. Jorge, the contact they trusted, was actually a double agent. Instantly, they aimed their guns.
Jorge let out a terrified yell and dropped to the floor, covering his head. Shots rang out.

Overwhelmed with fear, Jorge trembled uncontrollably.
Miraculously, he was unharmed.
Jorge opened his eyes in relief to see bodyguards suddenly appearing and shooting the mercenaries before they could react.
“Damn it!” cursed the sniper from his lookout, witnessing the unexpected turn of events. Without hesitating, he abandoned his post and fled.
As he escaped, he called Harlan. “Mr. Welch, the contact you gave us betrayed us! You’ve led us into a trap! Expect retaliation from Wolf,” he warned before tossing his phone aside and continuing his frantic escape.
“Mr. Lambert, are you okay?”
“I’m unharmed,” Jorge replied, standing and surveying the scene of fallen attackers, his expression one of determined calm. “What happened to the sniper?”
“Don’t worry. MO had everything planned. None of them will escape.” At that moment, distant gunfire signaled the end of the conflict. Jorge’s eyebrow lifted as he recognized the sounds meant the mercenaries had been dealt with.
Just then, Harlan’s call appeared on his phone. When Jorge saw the call, his eyes darkened. He then picked it up.
“Jorge, you traitor!” Harlan’s voice roared through the phone as soon as the line connected. The fury in his tone was evident.
Jorge pulled the phone slightly away from his ear, concerned that Harlan’s volume might cause hearing damage. “I’m sorry, but I’m with MO.”
“Really, Jorge? You’re just her pawn now! Remember, she’s merely a doctor. What could she possibly give you?”
