Chapter 1048 Just to Win a Man Over
The waiter had everything arranged before bringing out the second course. He started to introduce the dish with a
smile, "And here is a pan-fried salmon. All the dishes have been served. Enjoy your meal, and let me know if you
need anything!" With that, the waiter smiled and left.
Azalea spoke again. "Alright. Let's start eating first and discuss later."
Shannon had been waiting for the waiter. She only turned around and entered the adjacent private room when she
saw the waiter gesturing an "OK" sign toward her. After she connected her phone and put on her earphones, she
could clearly hear the sounds in Azalea's room.
A man's voice rang out. "But it won't be easy to catch her. I think we should target the children instead. It would be
easier to make her bite the bait rather than us capturing her."
"Yes," Azalea agreed. "Those kids seem to despise the sight of me. When I went to confront Eugene at the school
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlast time, they all left in the bodyguard's car out of anger. We can also make a move separately if they split up from
Eugene. I want to see whom Eugene would choose to save."
The man replied, "He will save you, princess. After all, he owes you his life. His gratitude toward you for saving his
life isn't just empty words. When faced with a life-and-death situation, people will choose those who are most
important to them. If Eugene saves you, Olivia Maxwell would undoubtedly be heartbroken. If he doesn't go, you
won't suffer any loss. Eugene, on the other hand, would feel guilty toward her."
Azalea seemed pleased with herself for coming up with such a perfect plan, as her following words were laced with
a hint of delight.
"In that case, you can't go hurting those kids should Eugene come to my rescue. It'd only make Eugene feel awful
about them getting hurt because he went out of his way to rescue me. That contradicts our initial purpose.
Remember, Olivia Maxwell is our prime target here. If she tries to save the kids all on her own, you need to figure
out a way to take her out. And if she and Eugene go together, you've got to bail and make sure Eugene doesn't
catch you. Our whole plan is gonna go down the drain otherwise."
They then delved into the details of the plan.
As Shannon listened to the voices coming from the next room, she grew angrier with each passing moment. This
woman is a maniac. How can anyone be so evil?! I can't believe she would devise such a devious plan just to win a
man over!
After about an hour, the people in the private room gradually left one after another.
Shannon only left her room then and entered Azalea's private room to take out the voice recorder. She had to give
it to Eugene and the others.
After she left, she directly sent the recording to Eugene.
As she was worried that Azalea would notice that she had already woken up, she took a cab straight back to the
hotel.
Still, she was a step behind; Azalea had already entered the hotel.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing this, Shannon quickly came up with a plan to be proactive rather than reactive.
She dialed Azalea's number on her phone, and Azalea only picked up after a while.
She must be wondering why I am calling her, Shannon thought while feigning nervousness. "Azalea, where did you
go?"
Now, it was time to see how Azalea would explain herself. She calmly replied, "I went outside for some fresh air. Are
you awake? I didn't wake you up when I saw you sleeping. I just came back."
Shannon started to play along when Azalea acted innocent. "Where did you go for fresh air? I looked for you
downstairs but didn't see you."
"I was on the rooftop," Azalea answered without hesitation. "I am already at the entrance. Hurry back."
"Oh, so that's where you went to. I'm coming back now."
And so, the two skilled actresses peacefully entered the room without any issues.
However, Azalea was somewhat suspicious. It didn't make sense that someone who had taken sleeping pills to wake
up after only two or three hours of sleep.
She proceeded to test the waters by asking, "Did you just wake up?"
