Chapter 482
Chapter 482:
“You both have worked hard all day; have dinner first,” Rosalie suggested softly, managing to gently usher Ashton out of the room.
Looking at the closed door, Ashton was washed over with a pang of regret, wishing silently that he had let Selena return by herself.
Perhaps it was Rosalie’s shyness about the earlier incident or the prolonged absence since she last saw her younger sister that influenced her decision. After dinner, she was keen to take a leisurely walk with her sister, leaving Ashton to his own devices.
Ashton felt somewhat resigned, yet he consoled himself with the thought of future opportunities to be intimate with Rosalie.
Having cleared the dining table, Ashton was about to settle down for a rest when his phone abruptly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID on his mobile phone, which displayed an unknown number. However, Ashton immediately recognized the caller—it was the intelligence officer, Milena.
As expected, as soon as he answered, Ashton was greeted by Milena’s stern voice stating, “We’ve uncovered something new. Come out and meet me.”
Without mincing words, Milena explained the purpose of her call.
Ashton sat bolt upright. Just as he opened his mouth to respond, Milena promptly hung up and texted him an address.
With a wry smile, Ashton set down the phone, musing over Milena’s domineering manner, almost as if she were his superior.
Despite his reservations, Ashton took the matter seriously. It was fortuitous that the Campbell sisters were not home, sparing him the need to fabricate an excuse.
Thus, Ashton immediately drove to the specified location: the parking lot of a shopping mall.

As soon as he parked, the passenger door swung open, and Milena, clad in a sleek professional outfit, swiftly entered the car.
Before Ashton could even greet her, Milena handed him several documents and launched into her report.
“After extensive days of meticulous investigation, we’ve discovered that since Fraser’s arrival in Staville, not only has he been in contact with the Marquez family, but he has also clandestinely met with a high-ranking member of the Dark Night Organization. Since that meeting, Fraser has vanished, and despite reviewing surveillance footage from every intersection in Staville, we’ve found no trace of him. However, the high-ranking member of the Dark Night Organization has left behind some clues. I earnestly request your approval to delve deeper into this matter.”
Ashton furrowed his brow as he scrutinized the documents before him. The pages detailed the covert location of a significant scheme being orchestrated by the Dark Night Organization.
After pondering for a moment, he turned to Milena with a serious look. “If this information holds true, then these individuals are profoundly malevolent and responsible for egregious offenses. How sure are you that we can unearth more clues?”
