Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1213 [Eleven Jewell]
It was late at night, and only a few cars were on the road. Vermont and Felicity nervously trailed behind the black BMW, afraid of arousing suspicion. Fortunately, the driver of the BMW was in a hurry and did not notice them.
They followed the car all the way from the city center to the south of the city. Eventually, the BMW stopped in front of a kindergarten. Vermont and Felicity saw Sophia exit the vehicle while carrying a little boy and enter the school.
The two exchanged glances, and Felicity whispered, “What’s she doing at a kindergarten with her brother in the middle of the night?”
Vermont pressed his lips together and said, “Let’s wait and see.”
After about twenty minutes, Sophia walked out of the building alone. She got back in her car and quickly drove away.
Felicity was puzzled. “Why didn’t she take her brother with her?”
Vermont frowned. Suddenly, his eyes twinkled with realization, and a sly smile spread across his face. “Looks like she just gave herself away,” he said.
“What do you mean?” Felicity asked anxiously.
Vermont patted her head and continued, “We’ve made a breakthrough, miss bandit. Let’s go home and tell Keegan the news.”
Felicity pushed away his hand and said, “Tell me what’s going on!”
“Albert is probably destined to be sonless,” Vermont chuckled.
Felicity’s eyes widened in astonishment when she heard that. “Are you saying Hugo isn’t his biological child?”
Vermont smiled and said, “We need to share this good news with Mr.
Jewell right away.”
Following that, he grabbed his phone and dialed a number. “Hey, it’s me. Do you know who’s in charge of the electrical circuits around Greenwood Grove in the south? Could you do me a favor and ask them to cut the power for an hour? Yeah. I’ll cover any damages from user complaints. Thanks.”
Felicity was shocked. “I didn’t know you had the power to do that.”
Vermont flashed a playful grin and said, “Aren’t I awesome?”
Felicity made a disgusted face in response.
Vermont was able to ask someone to cut the power temporarily because they were in an old city district with only a few large companies or office buildings. Moreover, it was nighttime, and not many people were using the electricity.
After the call, the surrounding lights went out. The street plunged into darkness, with only a few pedestrians on their phones, illuminating the area.
“Come on. Time to get down to business,” said Vermont.
Felicity did not know what the plan was, but she decided to follow him. As soon as they stepped out of the car, Vermont reached out to hold her hand. Felicity was momentarily surprised when she felt the warmth of his palm. “Remember to hold on tight. We wouldn’t want you to go missing while we’re on our mission.”
“I’m not a child,” Felicity snorted. Though, she still gripped Vermont’s hand tightly in return. Vermont playfully squeezed her hand and felt happy.
Greenwood Grove mostly consisted of single-story houses with people that knew each other. The residents often gathered on the streets during a power outage to chat with their neighbors and see if anyone knew what was happening. Soon, people started coming out of the kindergarten too.
