Chapter 679

Central heating wasn't standard in most households in the southern region, so Carlisle was freezing even under blankets. When he tried to close the window, he realized it was frozen shut.

"Boss, I bought you two heaters," Francis said, entering the room with two heaters in hand. He was bundled up in a thick camouflage coat, knitted gloves, and a striking pink scarf. "Do you have any leads on the assassin?" Carlisle asked, pulling the power strip over to plug in the heaters.

Wendell had assigned six more bodyguards and stationed another two in the

neighborhood's surveillance room on 24-hour shifts. The residents in the neighborhood assumed some celebrity had moved in because of that.

"No luck on that."

Francis shook his head.

"The police have set up a special task force. We've been working with them for three days but have still received nothing. This assassin completely avoids all surveillance."

"Do you fish?" Carlisle abruptly asked.

Francis shook his head again.

"I used to fish at the reservoir in my hometown back in my schooling days, but I stopped fishing once I left."

With a meaningful smile, Carlisle said, "Get Kevin to buy a few fishing rods. We're going fishing tomorrow!"

Francis immediately understood Carlisle's intention.

He asked worriedly, "Isn't it a bit risky?"

"I have faith in you all," Carlisle assured him.

Instead of living in fear, he preferred to resolve the matter once and for all. If they couldn't find the assassin, they might as well lure him out then.

It was 3:00 pm when security guards stopped Sienna outside the 19th floor of Windex Building A.

"How dare you stop me from entering? Don't you know who I am?"

Sienna glared at the two guards angrily, her hands crossed.

She had been busy working on her music website recently. There were no security guards when she visited Sarah here a week ago.

The security guards couldn't help but wonder if Sienna really did know the chairman, given how polished her outfit was despite her young age.

Kurt Watkins, the tall and slim guard, looked troubled.

"Sorry, miss. We've received orders from the chairman that no outsiders can enter the

company. If you know someone from the company, you should call them to let you in." "You're just trying to make this difficult, aren't you?" Sienna questioned, displeased.

"Do you know you might lose your job if I make the call right now?"

"Sorry, miss. We're just doing our jobs," Kurt replied calmly.

"Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you. Your chairman, Sarah Gates, is my close friend. You can either ask her yourself or let me in immediately! If you insist I call her, you'd better prepare your resignation letter!" Sienna warned them arrogantly.

She then muttered, "What's the deal with these two guard dogs? Since when is guarding a door something to be smug about?"

Since starting her own company, Sienna had been in the spotlight among her classmates and roommates. She finally understood what it felt like to be the center of attention, just like Sarah.

Sarah was going to take Sienna to the charity event hosted by Yuriel that day. It seemed to be a huge event attended only by entrepreneurs. Even the governor would be in attendance.
