“Who are you? What's happening?” Marlene’s voice trembled, her eyes searching the masked face for answers.

But the stranger simply walked away without a backward glance, disappearing without a word. Left standing alone, Marlene could only think of one thing-Revenge.

She looked around the warehouse one last time, reconfirming that it really belonged to Kayden and that he had really attempted to kill her by having her buried alive.

“You'll pay for this, Kayden Black,” she muttered under her breath, clenching her fists in anger.

8/11 Emergency calls only ON- 037% 14:46 Chapter 141 5 Stars Richard and Elena stood at the far end of the warehouse, hidden in the shadows, as they watched Marlene walk away, disheveled and enraged, from the coffin Kayden’s men had put her in. Elena’s lips curled into a smug smile as she turned to Richard, a glint of mischief in her eyes.

“Look at her, Richard. Even from here, | can already see the fury in her eyes,” Elena remarked, her voice tinged with amusement at the sight before them.

Richard let out a low chuckle, his gaze fixed on Marlene as she tiredly dragged herself out of the warehouse, her expression a mix of fury and confusion. “I still can’t believe | listened to you, and we're actually doing this, Elena.

All of this is beyond crazy, but I'll have to admit, I’ m enjoying it,” Richard mused, his eyes never leaving Marlene’s retreating figure.

Elena raised an eyebrow, her expression one of self-assured confidence. “Oh, ye of little faith. You should know by now that | never fail. Maybe you should take a few notes from your big sister,” she teased, a playful glint in her eyes.

Richard rolled his eyes good-naturedly, a smile tugging at 9/11 Emergency calls only *0037% 11446 Chapter 141 the corners of his lips. “I'll give you that one, Elena.

Let her be his karma.” As Marlene disappeared from view, Richard's demeanor shifted, his focus turning to the next step of their plans.

He straightened his posture, his features hardening with resolve, as he turned to Elena with a serious expression.

“Call your men and make sure all personnel have been evacuated from the other warehouses and buildings. We need to ensure that our plan goes off without a hitch, and | don’t want anyone getting hurt because of us,” Richard instructed, his voice firm.

The plan was to start a fire in a few of Kayden’s warehouses 10/11 Emergency calls only Chapter 141 037% 4:40 5 Stars and a few of his ongoing projects.

“A sight to behold,” Elena said, a note of amusement in her voice as she watched the fire grow in intensity.

Richard nodded with a satisfied smile on his face.
