Chapter 658 Is It Done?
At the same time that Keegan arrived at Regalhold, the Lawrence mansion was also bustling and filled with a joyous atmosphere.
Orion Lawrence, the head of the Lawrence family, had sent invitations to every conceivable relative and family, summoning them to attend the engagement party for Thorian and Raven.
Not only did he send out invitations, but he also specially called them to show off daughter–in–law’s identity.
He said, “That’s right. She is Raven from Vyrdenia Military, the leader of the Sirius Pack. Even if she has left the military now, her future is still bright. Did you know that she is Mr. George Brown’s disciple?
“Mr. Brown is an eminent figure from the upper realm. With such a mentor, Raven’s future shines with boundless promise.
“However, this is also because our Thorian has worked hard. That’s why he can find such an outstanding girlfriend. Most people wouldn’t even get a shot at this luck.”
Orion kept phoning his old friends excitedly to boast about Raven’s identity.
At the same time, the servants and bodyguards of the Lawrence family were also busy decorating the banquet hall for the engagement party and ensuring the safety of the Lawrence mansion during the party.
After Orion’s tireless efforts to promote, half of the people in Regalhold now knew that Raven was getting engaged to
Thorian.
Those who had known of the connection between Raven and Cassian were utterly astonished, with some even discreetly probing Edric for information.
Edric was furious. He felt sorry for his son and didn’t want to see the exciting scene of Raven and Thorian getting engaged. So, he turned off his phone, stayed home, and didn’t accept anyone’s invitation.
While streams of gift–bearing social climbers came to the Lawrence mansion, Thorian, the center of all this attention, was not in the mood to entertain them. He was too busy stressing over Ashley’s matter.
“Damn it! Why didn’t that bitch just die? How dare she use those videos to threaten me!” Thorian cursed.
Thorian changed into a brand new gown and stood before the fitting mirror. His attire was imposing, but looked very strange when paired with his gloomy and sinister face.
He looked at his phone occasionally, as if waiting for something.
Speaking of which, Thorian had brought Ashley over to Regalhold to make it easier for him to find an opportunity to kill her without anyone noticing.
The next day after he returned to Regalhold, Thorian used his connections to contact a top–level mercenary, who was often active in Vyrdenia.
Although this person’s reputation in the underworld was not too good, he never made any mistakes and even cleaned up the traces of murder very cleanly, which was quite rare.
Rather than personally kill Ashley and risk leaving evidence, Thorian opted to pay a hefty sum to the mercenary, provide the address of his suburban villa, and instructed the mercenary to kill her.
He did the math. If everything went according to plan, the mercenary should have completed the mission by now.
- Thorian was a little restless while waiting for the news. Therefore, he focused on waiting for it in his bedroom and did not go out to entertain the guests.
Just as his patience wore thin, the phone in his hand finally rang. Thorian eagerly checked the caller ID and found it was the mercenary he’d hired.
“Hey, is the job done?” Thorian asked.
“Of course, the woman is already dead.” The mercenary was standing in a room in the suburban villa. He looked at the woman lying on the bed with livor mortis and curled his lips in disdain.
