Chapter 0368 ~Tamia-~ Morning came, and we went for breakfast. Everyone was present. There was an awkwardness in the atmosphere even though not everyone present knew of Amanda's treachery, the ones that knew made it radiate into the atmosphere.
I noticed Jake was not around, and when I asked about him, Stephanie said he had gone to Lucland to see his son. His daughter was still locked up in the Estate, but I doubted we would yield anything important. As things were, all that mattered was Amanda, the Volkov guy, and the person supporting him.
None of the people we had locked up
presently could give us useful information. Amanda and the Volkov handled the information so well that no one would be useful if caught.
Amanda might not be the mastermind, but she was his tool, the one he sent and the only one that had direct contact with him and knew who he was. She was all we needed, so I will be satisfied with having an eye on her until they meet and we swoop in.
"How did the questioning go?" Stephanie asked. I wondered why she decided to have breakfast with us instead of David and his family.

"Your Majesty," she teased and looked at Dominic, "Your Eminence," she teased him too, but both Sylvester and Dominic had false smiles on their faces. No one could miss it. They sucked at acting, and Stephanie caught on.
"What's with the two of you? You should be in celebratory mode," she said, surprised by their mood.
Sylvester nodded at her.
"We can't celebrate when the king is still at large, and some people are missing," he said, and Stephanie nodded.
"Still, you got some victory; you should be proud of yourselves. Now you have the power to deal with them as you see fit without that corrupt council getting involved, It is a huge
improvement," She said, and they nodded.
"Anyway, we are almost done with the wedding plans for the blue moon. I wanted to know if you all will be going on honeymoons before we start implementing the plan," She asked, and Sylvester nodded.
"Yes, I will be taking a short holiday with my wife," He said. The others agreed to do the same, and Stephanie nodded.
"Twill look for the perfect spot. Fit for Royalty," she said. There was genuine joy in her eyes. I wondered what would happen if she found out the truth.
After breakfast, Sylvester went to speak to his friends while Avery and 1 joined Linda in her wing.
The Gamma wing was stunning, and | noticed that Linda had made plenty of modifications to the place. She had always been the type to own a place thoroughly, and this was her own wing.
We entered her bedroom and sat in the living section of the room.
"What is this I hear about that snake?" Linda asked about Amanda and then served us juice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I was surprised too. " Avery said.
"What are we going to do? We let the ring leader go," Linda said, and I nodded.
"1 still can't wrap my head around it," 1 confessed.
[ had maintained a strong facade to lend Sylvester strength, but the truth
of the situation was that Amanda outsmarted us, and it did not sit well with me at all.
"She wasn't dumb after all, cunning bitch," Avery said, giving Amanda a promotion.
"I used to think she was dumb, but after Theo told me what she managed to pull off, I have to give it to her; she is smart," Linda said, and I stood up and began to pace.
"Crying, trying to look weak, begging and pretending to be desperate, pretending to care about Leo," Avery said, describing Amanda's behaviour.
"I know you might find this offensive, Tamia, but I do not feel sorry for Leo He made his bed with thorns; he should lie on it, but damn to set het
father up and ask her cousin to swallow poison while she roams free is cold.
There was no way she did all this for love, that selfish bitch." Linda said, and I nodded.
