Did She Take Our Bait?

Meanwhile, somewhere outside the J-town stood a two-story house isolated in a remote area.

The house looked old and unkempt, with an unmaintained yard and numerous wild plants surrounding the walls and the small stone path leading to the house.

However, despite the untidy front yard, the house's interior was surprisingly neat and clean.

Jude Withers sat on one of the old sofas in a study room with a view of the backyard leading into the woods. He wore a satisfied expression as he glanced at his cell phone after sending a short message to his niece, Scarlett Piers.

"Master, did that foolish girl take the bait?" asked the long blonde-haired man, feeling curious about the result of their grand plan to capture Scarlett Piers.

Jude slowly raised his head, looking at his personal assistant, David. "David, of course, that stupid little girl took our bait! Now, get everyone ready. Let's welcome her..." He said, rubbing his chin with a satisfied smile.
