Chapter 328
As Aria strode away, Russell’s mocking voice rang out behind her. “How fiercely you shield your friends, Ms. Saxon… But for those you don’t deem worthy, do you just stand by and watch them die?”
Russell sneered, “Or perhaps… you let her die in your place?”
Aria froze mid–step, whirling to face Russell–she caught the unmistakable flicker of hatred in his eyes.
Just stand by and watch her die.
‘Let her die in my place? Who is Russell Nicholson talking about?‘ Aria wondered, her mind racing,
As Aria locked eyes with Russell, she sensed an unsettling familiarity.
Russell and Sara shared alike eyes, but one pair was innocent and timid, the other cold and ruthless. The feelings they gave off were worlds apart.
Aria had never considered this angle before, yet Russell’s words now compelled her to take a closer look.
“Who exactly is Russell Nicholson to Sara?‘ Aria wondered, her mind racing with suspicion and shock.
Aria stared hard at Russell, her eyes a storm of confusion, shock, and
Reining in the storm inside, she turned on her heel and walked away.
wary alertness.
Still reeling from shock, Myla hurried after Aria, not daring to fall behind.
At the hospital, the doctor extracted a slender silver needle from Russell’s shoulder.
The slender silver needle glistened with fresh crimson blood.
It was tossed into a nearby stainless steel tray.
Russell sat propped up in the hospital bed, his face a shade paler than usual, yet utterly devoid of weakness.
Orlando stood off to the side, glaring at the silver needle in the tray, his chest heaving with barely contained fury.
He shot the doctor a sharp look. “Is it poisoned?”
The doctor shook his head. “Don’t worry, it’s not poisoned. Whoever did this knows their acupoints–clearly a professional.”
After disinfecting and dressing the wound on Russell’s arm, the doctor advised, “Make sure to get plenty of rest, and avoid putting too much strain on
this arm for now.”
Russell gave a slight nod. “Understood.”
Orlando said, “Thank you, doctor.”
The doctor left with the tray.
The ward fell silent. Orlando said coldly, “Russell, no more waiting. Kill Aria Saxon now.”
A dangerous glint flashed in Russell’s eyes. “We mustn’t act rashly.”
“The Solemnity Guild kidnapped Sara–they’re the ones who truly deserve to die,” said Russell. “Aria Saxon is a sharp blade we can wield against them saving us a lot of trouble.”

Russell was one of the Wolfshade Syndicate’s future leaders.
There was no turning back–retreat meant certain death.
Especially, Olivia was into him.
Olivia’s feelings for Russell were a double–edged sword–they amplified his influence but multiplied his enemies. With the top brass watching, every move became constrained.
Orlando clenched his jaw, hating to admit it but knowing it was true.
Taking out Aria was hard enough–even if they succeeded, they’d just be opening a can of worms.
Russell asked, “Is she here?”
Orlando said, “As you instructed, I’ve informed her about what happened.”
