Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 434

Chapter 434: Chapter 434

Clark slumped on the couch, lost in a sea of despair. Had it not been for Rose’s intervention, he would still be oblivious to the danger Carol was in.

How many hidden truths were lurking behind this predicament?

"Clark, drink up, will you?" Jack offered him a glass, speaking earnestly. "Solitary contemplation won’t solve anything. Once we get the results from the tests, everything will be clear."

"No, it won’t be that simple." Clark felt as though he had led Rose into a foggy maze with no clear direction in sight. The exit seemed so far away.

"Clark, when did you become such a pessimist?" Jack insisted, nudging the glass closer.

Clark accepted the drink, but his heart wasn’t in it. "It’s not pessimism."

It was the reality of their situation, the mounting evidence that offered no reason for optimism.

Where was Carol? Was she safe? No one could answer him.

"Don’t worry. With our boss on the case, there’s no mystery she can’t solve." Ever the optimist, Jack downed a swig of water from his bottle.

"But how did Rose know that those guys would go to Carol’s house today?" Clark’s gaze fell on Jack.

"You wouldn’t know this. Our boss found several hidden cameras and bugs in Carol’s house—oh, sorry, I meant Mrs. Clark’s house—and took them all down. Those who planted the devices would naturally be anxious and send people to check."

"So, Rose set a trap there alone."

Clark was suddenly struck by his sister’s bravery. She had risked her life, all to uncover the truth for him.

"She’s a fool, knowing full well that taking down the cameras and bugs would draw them in, yet she used herself as bait."

And she didn’t even ask for backup!

His heart was a mix of appreciation, guilt, and worry. What if something happened to her?

"Don’t worry. Our boss is one of the best. There are few in the world who could match her skills. If we were there, we would only get in her way."

Jack grabbed a bag of chips from the table and munched on a few before continuing, "Besides, she took all necessary precautions. She installed surveillance, recorded the fight, and even released a sleep-inducing scent."

Jack painted a vivid picture, "That scent is potent. Anyone who inhales it will pass out within five minutes. But those guys were tough. They held out for seven minutes. That’s a clear indication of their superior physical condition. One of them even managed to escape after inhaling it!"

"You said Rose installed surveillance and recorded the fight?" Clark interjected hastily. "Where’s the footage? I want to see it."

"Er... You should ask the boss for it." Jack hesitated.

If Rose found out that he had shown Clark the footage without her permission, she would have his head.

"You said Rose fought them. I don’t know if she got hurt in the process. She wouldn’t show me the footage because she doesn’t want me to worry."

"Clark, it’s not that. It’s more that I don’t want to lose my job."

If he could, he would spill everything.

"You mentioned earlier that those guys were tough. So Rose’s skills are superior?" Clark queried.

On this point, Jack was honest, nodding his head. "Our boss is indeed very skilled. She can handle a few thugs with ease."

"Who taught her? She’s so young, yet she could subdue four strong men."

"You should ask the boss about that!"

Seeing that Jack was unwilling to disclose much, Clark finally relented. "Alright, then add me on WhatsApp."

"Sure thing." Jack, seeing that Clark wasn’t pressing further, readily displayed his QR code.

After Clark added him as a friend, he even sent him a friendly GIF.

Jack opened it and exclaimed, "Jesus, Clark, I didn’t know you were into this. This woman’s got some curves!"

The GIF featured a sultry woman blowing a kiss, both innocent and suggestive; Jack found it quite intriguing.

Meanwhile, Clark had managed to hack into Jack’s phone and access the surveillance footage.

He saw a group of men, their faces concealed by black masks, burst into Carol’s living room with swift and ruthless precision.

Then, his sister locked the door, leaving her alone to face them.

"Carol? You are traitor, finally showing your face."

"Today’s the day you die."

They mistook his sister for Carol, intending to kill her with their ruthless tactics.

Clark’s heart clenched with anxiety. His sister was facing danger alone. What if something happened?

"You’re not Carol?"

"Who are you?"

Seeing them alternately brandishing knives and guns, wanting to kill this girl, Clark felt his heart in his throat. Thankfully, his sister was more skilled than they were; otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Despite the flurry of bullets aimed at his sister, she managed to dodge them all perfectly, even launching a counterattack!

Her skills and her reaction speed left Clark utterly astounded.

Realizing they were at a disadvantage, the group decided to retreat.

One of the men threw a smoke grenade, but even in the dense smoke, his sister could locate them by sound, binding up the ones who hadn’t managed to escape through the window.

"Can you tell which organization these guys are from by their moves?" Clark asked Jack, who was still beside him.

Jack, who had been drooling over the woman in the GIF, was startled when he saw the video playing on Clark’s phone.

"Damn, how did you get this video? You hacked into my phone? When did that happen?"

"Don’t worry, I only extracted this video."

He didn’t look at anything else that wasn’t necessary.

"You’re a hacker, too?" Jack suddenly realized. "What’s with you Collins? How come you all have so many skills?"

He’d been careless!

He completely didn’t realize the GIF with the woman had a virus!

"I’m not sure if the guy who got away will go back and tip them off. Rose could be in danger," Clark said, worried. "You guys need to keep an eye on her in secret."

Of course, as her brother, he would also always be by her side, ensuring she didn’t get hurt.

"You might think that the video looks dangerous with all the gunfire, but let me tell you, our boss can handle this like it’s a walk in the park. You didn’t see it before, but when dozens of guns were pointed at our boss, she managed to escape unscathed."

"What do you mean?" Clark seemed to understand something. "What exactly did Rose go through before?"

"Nothing. I was just rambling," Jack wished he could slap himself.

Why couldn’t he keep his mouth shut?

"What’s going on? Why were there dozens of guns pointed at Rose? Did Rose upset some gangsters or what?" Clark was really anxious and wanted to know the reason.
