Chapter 1441:
“Go and investigate Omar. Find out what he’s been up to lately,” Annabel instructed her assistant.
The assistant nodded and left at once to get started.
Meanwhile, after being hung up on by Annabel, Omar lounged on his sofa with a wicked grin.
“You confessed your sins rather readily,” Vickie remarked from across the room, her expression dripping with sarcasm.
If it weren’t for her last chance, she would never have agreed to cooperate with this deranged man—an illegitimate child of the Jenkins family. He was clearly unhinged.
“Have you never heard the saying that skilled hunters see themselves as prey?” Omar drawled. “In this game, there’s more at stake. You think you’re in control, but the truth is you’re just an idiot being led around by others. Don’t you agree, Miss Kelly p>
With his legs crossed, Omar stared at Vickie, his eyes radiating a chilling resolve.

“If he didn’t have a good impression of you, he wouldn’t have agreed to meet you,” Annabel said calmly. “He chose to see you, which means the chances of him picking you for the role are quite high. Just relax p>
To reassure her, Annabel patted Margo’s shoulder.
But when she glanced at the address on her phone, she frowned in confusion. The location Sherman had sent was supposed to be a Japanese pub. Yet no matter how she looked, she couldn’t find one. The only place she saw on that street was a seafood restaurant. She checked the GPS again, but nothing seemed wrong.
“Did Director Gordon send the wrong address, or did we come to the wrong place?” Margo blinked a few times.
Annabel suddenly tapped her forehead, as if she’d just realized something. “That’s impossible p>
