Chapter 260 

“I came here to visit my relatives, but this place is so big that I got lost. Could you tell me where Villa No. 9 is?” 

The man in the suit took off his sunglasses, revealing sharp, hawk-like eyes.  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Hera found herself breathless under his icy gaze. 

Outside of department officials, outsiders needed homeowner authorization to enter Royal Bay. 

If this man was visiting relatives, he would have surely notified them in advance for authorization. 

Furthermore, Villa No. 9 was located in the most conspicuous row within Royal Bay. There were clear signs pointing to Villas 1 to 9 right at the entrance; it was impossible for him not to know where Villa No. 9 was. 

Therefore, she concluded that this man did not enter through the main gate. 

“Hera… Why did you come to the park?” 

Following Hera’s gaze, Nash tried to find what caught her attention, but he saw nothing around. 

The sudden voice startled Hera. Turning around, she saw Nash and patted her chest while exclaiming, “How do you walk without making any noise? You scared me…” 

“You were just too engrossed in your thoughts just now and didn’t hear me!” Nash explained with a smile. 

“Have Yvonne and Uncle James arrived?” Hera inquired. 

“They’ve arrived. They’re resting at home now.” 

Hand in hand, the two headed toward the villa. 

Hera recounted her earlier encounter with the lost man in the suit to Nash and expressed her suspicions. 

“That man is definitely suspicious! Do you think he could be one of the assassins sent for us?” 

As Hera spoke, anxiety filled her heart, causing her grip on Nash’s arm to tighten slightly. 

First, she was kidnapped alongside Skadi, and then the Lewis family estate was bombed. Afterward, Skadi and Bianca were even targeted by the Green Bamboo Association. 

As the person was acting suspiciously earlier, it was hard for her not to assume the worst. 

Nash hugged Hera into his arms and said gently, “You might be a bit sensitive due to recent events. Don’t worry too much; I’m here with you.” 

Judging by Hera’s description, that man was indeed questionable. 

Even so, in order to keep Hera from worrying, Nash could only offer gentle reassurance. 

Nash’s embrace was warm and comforting, alleviating some of Hera’s anxiety. 

“Hera…” 

At some point, Yvonne appeared at the villa’s entrance. 

Hera swiftly withdrew from Nash’s embrace and turned around with a bright smile. “You must be 

Yvonne. You’re so beautiful!” 

Yvonne stepped forward and hugged Hera. “Not as beautiful as you, Hera!” 

After a brief embrace, the two cheerfully walked arm-in-arm into the villa’s living room, with Nash following closely behind. 

Upon seeing James seated on the sofa, Hera sweetly asked, “You must be Uncle James, right?” 

A forced smile appeared on James’ usually cold face, “Mmhmm. I never thought you’d be married by 

now!” 

Hera blushed. “I’m not that young anymore… Some of my college friends are already expecting their 

second child!” 

Nash sensed James seemed to have reservations about Hera’s marriage. 

This James guy was quite familiar with the Mares. 

Did he want Hera to marry into his own lineage? 

“What do you do for a living, boy?” 

James suddenly inquired. 

Yvonne’s curious eyes were also fixed on Nash as she wondered about the man who had won over her 

beautiful cousin. 

He must be extremely excellent, no? 

Hera looked at Nash hesitantly, unsure how to answer Uncle James’ question. 

On paper, Nash worked as a security manager at her company. 

In reality, Nash rarely visited the office and did not have a formal job. 

“I’m the security manager for Baroque’s branch company,” Nash replied without hesitation. 

“He’s just nominally working in my company. In reality, he’s a miracle doctor with extraordinary 

medical skills!” Hera added. 

In the eyes of ordinary people, being a security manager would be considered a senior position. 

However, in the eyes of large families, it simply was not impressive. 

“Security manager? At Baroque, to boot?!” 

Disdain appeared in James’ eyes.
