Chapter 288 Being Targetted
Afterwards, Kate came to George with an identical inquiry. Clearly, George had also gotten the communication, and he stayed silent in Kate’s presence, who couldn’t discern any variance.
Could it be that I was simply being overly suspicious?
Kate reflected inwardly, sensing a weight bearing down on her chest, stirring profound discomfort within her. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
She couldn’t dispel the feeling that something bad was about to unfold.
She sat on the sofa in a haze, and just then, Linus called her.
“Kate, what are you up to at Summer Estate? Let me take you out for some fun!”
Linus‘ tone was upbeat, and after a fleeting pause, Kate nodded in agreement, saying, “Sure.”
She also felt compelled to clear her thoughts by going out. Otherwise, she sensed an emotional barrier within her, stirring both unease and agitation.
Maybe she was just overly anxious about Eric.
He was currently on a business assignment in Belford, and there seemed to be no imminent threat in Haldoria.
Kate comforted herself with these thoughts, and shortly after, Linus arrived to collect her, accompanied by George in the car.
George had taken on the role of Kate’s bodyguard, closely monitoring her every action.
George not only had to guarantee Kate’s security but also had to ensure she remained ignorant of Eric’s location.
Eric’s actions posed a massive danger. Kate needed to remain oblivious!
Linus escorted Kate straight to a bar.
George stepped out of the car, his face impassive as he surveyed the lively bar before him. He glanced at Linus with a smile that lacked sincerity in his eyes, asking, “Mr. Linus, is it prudent to bring Madam here?”
Linus rubbed his scalp, pondering. “Where’s the harm? We’re all young people, we should enjoy ourselves and relax!”
George tightened his mouth, a flicker of intensity gleaming in his gaze. “What if Madam encounters danger in this place?”
Linus glanced at George with astonishment, thoroughly perplexed. “What danger could she encounter in a bar? I’m her brother, and you’re constantly by her side–how could there be any risk? Are you

George remained silent.
Since Linus had recently arrived back in the country, he probably didn’t grasp the present state of affairs in the nation or how many individuals were keeping an eye on Kate.
Kate stayed put in the car, looking slightly confused as she watched Linus and George chat. She was on the verge of getting out of the car, but George stopped her abruptly.
Looking directly at her, George spoke with grave earnestness, “Madam, you can’t exit the car.”
The bar teemed with a diverse array of people, some potentially acting as spies. He couldn’t afford to jeopardise Kate’s safety.
“Why can’t?”
Linus‘ complexion turned grim. “I’m her brother. How could I possibly harm her?”
Just
George moved nearer, a hint of despair in his voice as he murmured, “Mr. Linus, having returned. you’re unaware of the current state of affairs. Several people are monitoring Boss and Madam closely now. If Madam sets foot in the bar tonight, I dread someone might target her.
“Do you intend to scare Madam?”
Linus
eyes narrowed abruptly, fixing George with a wary gaze, suspicion creeping into his tone. “What are you implying? Who has Eric angered enough to be chased after?”
Linus voice unintentionally escalated, and George sensed instinctively that this was troubling!
He swiftly glanced at Kate, finding her frowning at them, her face slightly pale: “What … target? Who’s chasing after Ric?”
Her heart tightened, her thoughts overwhelmed by the vision of Eric being chased.
George sighed quietly, rubbing his forehead before speaking with deference, “No need to worry. Madam. Boss is safe. Mr. Linus was only joking.”
Linus had a sudden realisation, a wave of regret washing over him as he chastised himself silently, murmuring, “Kate, I spoke without thinking and made a mistake. Eric is genuinely exceptional and admirable–why would anyone chase after him? I was just joking, really!”
