Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 294

Lynn finally smiled and headed to the kitchen.

I let out a sigh of relief. Did that mean she had forgiven me?

Lynn started her work in the kitchen. Shortly after, someone suddenly pounded on the door. The sound was so loud it made me jump.

Lynn immediately came out of the kitchen and gestured for me to be quiet.

I nodded and stayed silent. At the same time, I texted Quintus. "We're in danger. Get here fast."

Quintus quickly replied, "Don't worry, Mr. White. I'm right behind you."

His message caught me off guard. I quickly turned around. However, everything was arranged as usual, and there wasn't any sign of anyone hiding.

This sent a shiver down my spine. I felt lucky to have Quintus on my side. If he had been an assassin, I might have suddenly died out of nowhere!

Just then, Lynn walked up to the door. She dared not open it but called through it, "Who's there?"

I heard a man's deep voice. "It's me!"

Lynn's face instantly went pale. "Mr. Cummings, you're here! Please wait a second. I'm a bit of a mess. I'll tidy up and open the door for you."

With that, she rushed over to me, grabbed my arm, and pulled me toward the guest room.

She said, "Listen, William! Mr. Cummings is the squad leader of The Dragonshade Society. He's pretty high up but keeps coming around to bother me.

"Whatever happens, don't come out. If you do, you'll get me and Riley in trouble. Do you hear me?"

Her words hit me immediately. Mr. Cummings was probably one of her regulars.
