Chapter 485: Enemy’s enemy

It was late in the night when a man sneaked into the room. Carefully, he looked around the corridor, making sure he was not being watched before walking in, his heart thumping wildly as he walked to the woman laying on the bed.

As he walked to her, he quietly gave his report,"Miss, the police went to Seb Frost’s house for questioning today. They are looking for suspects who could have caused the accident. They are now inspecting all his previous relationships, just like you wanted."

"Good. And what did the police report say?", the woman asked casually.

"We haven’t been able to look into the report until now. The officer is a bit difficult. She is..." The man stopped before he could give any more excuses and quickly said," I will try to handle that matter at the earliest."

The woman nodded and raised her hand to let him continue," There really haven’t been any new women around him. In fact even before the attack on Miss Emma, he’d cut down on going to his parties. His last public engagement had been with Miss Emma only. Other than that, he had been in regular touch with Nora Frost, Isabella Ruffalo and Olivia Brown. On the other hand, Vivienne Dempsey is the only one who has been in touch with him."

"And it seems there is some sort of a rivalry between them."

The woman listened intently, her brow furrowing slightly at the mention of the names. "Interesting," she murmured, her mind already spinning possibilities.

"Who is Olivia Brown, remind me again?"

"Miss Brown is their old nanny’s daughter. She is treated like family by all the Frost brothers. She was there as a bridesmaid in Demon Frost’s wedding as well. They are not that close though."

The woman nodded and then isntructed, "Continue monitoring their interactions. Especially Emma and Vivienne Dempsey’s movements. I want to know everything."

"Of course, Miss," he replied with a nod, his resolve firm as he made a mental note to intensify surveillance on the women.

As he turned to leave, the woman called out to him once more. "And be discreet. We can’t afford any slip-ups now."

Once the man walked out, she sighed and closed her eyes, pondering the information calculatively. As her thoughts converged, thinking about her next move, her gaze fell upon a framed photograph on the bedside table—a portrait of Seb Frost, his handsome features frozen in a carefree smile, as he looked into the camera with his come hither expression.

Her lips curved into a cold, calculating smile as she reached out and picked up the photograph, her fingers tracing the outline of his face with a sense of vindication. Soon, she will have found a way to make Seb hers forever. And this time, if he did not become hers? Well, she’ll just have to make sure that he did not live in this world anymore to tantalize and tempt her.

It was time for her next move. The saying that the enemy of an enemy was a friend. So, this would be the best time to question the friend. It had taken her a while to establish a connection with Elena Winthrope. But she finally had her on her side. Elena wanted revenge from Gabe... And she had promised to help.

Everything had been going according to her plan when she first heard the news about the wedding bands that Seb had ordered. Why did Seb order the wedding rings without a bride? Who was the woman that had caught her attention? Elena Winthrope had provided her with the money to continue with her plans but now she would need to hit up the woman for information.

This is what she hated. Why did she have to rely on someone else for information about Sebastian? Why couldn’t she be with him? But finally, she pickded up her cell phone and made the call to the woman.

As the phone was answered after a few rings, she heard a gloating voice on the other end," Well well, it is you? I thought you said that the next time we spoke, you would be married to Seb Frost? What happened? Are you calling to invite me?"

The woman clenched her hands at Elena Winthrope’s taunting. If she had not taken money from her, she would have gotten rid of her as well.

"Look, there is nothing for you to gain in taunting me. Everything was going as per the plan. I just have to get rid of one hurdle. I need to know..."

"Who Seb Frost is marrying?" Elena finished the question smoothly.

"Yes! Do you know anything?", the woman asked eagerly.

Elena laughed. "You fool!I amready warned you that Seb would not marry you easily. But you did not believe me. Just because you have observed what kind of women he has dated in the past and become like them in looks and demeanour, he will not be willing to marry you. The Frosts are crazy when it comes to loyalty. If Seb Frost will marry, there will be only one woman who can wear his ring- Olivia Brown."

The woman narrowed her eyes at the name. "Olivia Brown? The nanny’s daughter? Isn’t she like a sistger to them?"

Elena Winthrope laughed at that. "Like a sister? Sure, to the other Frosts. But not to Seb Frost. She is the love of his life. You didn’t know that, did you? The woman tends to blend into the background. And Seb is very happy with that. He has her hidden in plain sight. If you want to win over Sebastian, get rid of Olivia Brown..."

As Elena disconnected the call, the woman narrowed her eyes! Olivia Brown! She really was hidden quite well. She hadn’t even considered that woman. Hurriedly, she picked up the phone and called the man who had just left,ordering him," Olivia Brown. Get everything on her."

The man was silent for a moment before asking," Miss Brown? But she is not very close to..."

"Do as I say! Olivia Brown!"
