When he learned that the mastermind behind them was Mr. Goddard, Harold immediately called for an investigation on him. But Gloria was one step ahead of him.
Looking at the information document in front of her, Gloria narrowed her eyes.
Mr. Goddard, who based on the Middle East, was a man of connections.
He enjoyed manipulating others by poisoning them and was a sociopath. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
He longed for eternal life.
Rumor had it that he sucked blood and ate human flesh!
The reason why he was here bidding for Misty Lucid Ganoderma was seeking immorality and trying to cure his seriously ill sister!
No one knew his real name and his family remained a mystery to the world.
He was a madman and posed great danger to the world.
They all sat there in the room.
Gloria looked over at Jordy and said in a hushed voice, ‘Jordy, our focus now is to go to the party and then dig up the person who drugged you.”
As for the others, be they dangerous or not, they should take a step back when they had to.
“Do you really think their appearances were an coincidence or on a whim?” Jordy responded in a sullen voice.
Jordy’s face was as grave as a stone.
The information Gloria gathered, Mr. Goddard’s gift and message, all indicated this so-called Mr. Goddard guy had had his eye on them.
They were testing them for the most part. If they did not do anything in response, it would only make them bolder. By fighting back, they might save themselves more trouble in the future.
Of course, Gloria was aware of this!
She frowned. “I know,” she said sternly, “but what we need to do now is finish our business in hand. In
Crockfords Club, I don’t see there is any reason he would risking offending the owner to cause trouble for us.”
Jordy also knew what Gloria meant.
But he said calmly “Don’t worry about me. I know what to do and what not to do.”
He stared at Gloria with ease.
Gloria felt a bit shocked but after a short pause, she said softly, “Your personal safe always comes first. I don’t want you to act rashly. It is a very important banquet.”
“Yes.”

The next day, at 9 p.m.,
The party held by Crockfords Club started on time. Because of the last delay, the seats they booked last time remained unchanged and all the guests arrived on time.
Tonight, Gloria wore casually, with a simple-styled white cotton shirt, loose linen caprice pants and a pair of white board shoes. A white hair band tied her hair into braids.
She did no even put on makeup. Her fair skin and the delicate facial features made her stand out like a fairy lady.
She showed up arm in arm with Jordy. But they soon met their ‘old enemies’.
Rachel and Gerald, dressed respectively in black and white, walked in like a couple.
Heather also had a company. She wore a royal dress. The mask covered her face.
For a moment, Gloria wondered whether she had seen it wrong as the masked woman cast her a look full of threat and defiance.
A teasing voice not far away caught their attention, “Miss White, to attend such an important party, why don’t you bring your new recruited henchman here?”
