Chapter 1279
Wayne, who hadn't completely woken up before this, was suddenly wide awake. His head still felt hazy
and heavy.
The needles on his head were already removed. The fragrance in the room had just run out, and there
was a strong lingering smell in the air.
He felt uncomfortable, so he got up unsteadily and opened the windows.
He finally felt a little better after the fragrance had dissipated in the cold wind.
However, he still felt some pressure in his head. He yawned, glancing around the room. Olivia was long
gone.
As expected, that woman had left again.
Reaching up, Wayne pinched the bridge of his nose. When he lowered his gaze, he realized that the
ring on his finger was missing.
In an instant, his mind cleared. A slip of paper was placed on the table, and the elegant handwriting on
it came into view.
"Mr. Maxwell, don't trust women so easily in the future. I have taken my reward."
When Wayne recalled everything that had happened recently, he could hardly believe that he was

He gripped the paper so hard that his joints turned white. There was a cold and gloomy look in his
eyes.
Then, Alan suddenly barged in.
Noticing that there was something off about Wayne's expression, he asked, "Mr. Maxwell, where's Dr.
Ophelia?"
A piece of paper gently drifted down from Wayne's hands. Wayne's voice was unusually calm as he
said, "She stole my ring."
"What?" Alan was shocked. He had never seen anyone so bold before. It was like picking a fight with a
lion!
The rain pitter-pattered on the tree branches in the yard. Wayne felt as if there was a storm in his heart
as well.
"She hasn't gone far. Seal off the whole area!" Ike's voice rang out. As expected, his sixth sense was
right.
That woman was indeed suspicious.
Alan recalled how he had fought his own brother for Olivia's sake just a while ago. Olivia's actions were
like a slap across his face.
"Damn it, she tricked us!"
Ike and Alan looked at Wayne with expressions of concern in their eyes.
After all, this was Wayne's first time falling for someone, but that person ended up being a scammer.
"I'll locate her right away. I'll also ignite the self-destruction program when necessary. She must never
take that ring out of the country!"
"No!" Wayne suddenly spoke up. "Do not let it self-destruct."
Ike grabbed his shoulders. "Are you still concerned about that woman at times like this? She tricked
you!"
Ike thought that he should have been more cruel just now so that all this wouldn't have happened.
Wayne was too attached to her.
Wayne slowly raised his eyes, his pair of red eyes glancing at the two as if he were a demon from hell.
"I want to kill her myself!"
This was the man Ike and Alan knew well.
"We have lots of guests today, so we must not let them know about the ring. Seal off all entrances right
now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Find an excuse for that, and don't startle the guests."
"Understood."
Soon, Ike successfully activated the chip in the ring, which had been in sleep mode for a long time.
Not long after that, the wearer's physical attributes were sent from the ring.
The wearer was a man of an unknown age. He was about 6 feet tall, and he weighed around 170
pounds.
"I knew it. She approached you with ulterior motives! She already found an accomplice long ago."
'The ring says that the person on the run is a man, and he's alone. The woman is not with him. They
have separated."
Wayne had both hands on the table as a vicious smile appeared on his lips. "This means that the
woman is still in Avelia Hot Spring right now! She won't be able to escape so easily.
"I want her caught either dead or alive! Since she's not with the ring, activate the self-destruction
program right now."
Olivia spent a lot of effort to hide the marks on her neck. It was too difficult to completely hide the
marks from the naked eye.
The rain grew heavier. She wondered if things were going smoothly on Undecim's end.
She headed toward the guest area, where Ethan was.
That area was currently the least guarded part of the place.
Just then, a deafening explosion reached her ears.
