Chapter 1521:
His desire to penetrate Choria now made his intentions transparent.
Should circumstances deteriorate to that point, William would inevitably serve as Arlo’s disposable pawn, and any complications would drag the entire Briggs family into the catastrophe.
Nina dropped her gaze downward, her response emerging quietly. “I understand.”
Had this occurred earlier, anxiety would have flooded through her—concern for William’s safety would have driven her to extract him from this dangerous entanglement.
But now, it didn’t matter anymore.
The call ended, and the screen went dark.
Nina remained seated alone in the dimly lit hotel room, motionless for an extended period.
Beyond the window, dense tropical jungle stretched endlessly, sunlight penetrating thick foliage to paint intricate patterns of light and shadow across the ground.
She recalled William’s frigid cruelty as he’d ordered his subordinates to remove her finger, recalled how he’d defied Arlo himself for the sake of remaining with Stella.
The final traces of affection clinging to her heart dissolved entirely, replaced by undiluted hatred and fear.
Since possessing him proved impossible, she’d drag them both straight to hell!
Consequences awaited her inevitably—she’d committed far too many sins to escape judgment. If she managed to destroy William and Stella before her reckoning arrived, that outcome wouldn’t be entirely unfavorable.
She rose from her seat and crossed to the window, conflicting emotions flickering through her eyes.
Nina placed a call to Amon, who had returned to the country. “Our operative embedded within Briggs Group should be extracted now. Extended placement risks triggering William’s suspicion.”

Amon’s voice traveled through the connection. “What about Marc? Have you decided to abandon him?” Amusement threaded through his tone.
Nina’s response arrived immediately, dripping with contempt. “That pathetic waste. Regardless of how much support we provide, he’ll never achieve anything significant. The project with Hanson was his last chance from me, and he squandered it completely.”
Amon occupied the driver’s seat of his crimson sports car, absently manipulating a lighter between his fingers.
“Nina, you perplex me sometimes. Do you harbor love or hatred for William? Are you attempting to destroy him?”
Nina compressed her lips into a thin line, her voice descending to a near-whisper. “He brought this upon himself by choosing that bitch Stella. Since his attachment to her runs so deep, let them perish together!”
After ending the call, Amon released a low chuckle as his gaze drifted to the street scene visible through his window.
Nina, that unhinged woman, truly hadn’t failed to meet his expectations.
Unfortunately for her, he refused to walk the same path that had led his father to ruin.
He pushed the car door open, extracted himself from the vehicle, and proceeded into the prison facility, where Alonzo awaited him, dressed neatly.
