The more she thought about it, the more it seemed like a perfectly sensible answer to her confusion.

Wasn’t her confusion simply the fear of regret?

Indeed, she had asked the right person.

She glanced at Leonard Churchill, a hint of surprise hiding in her eyes, and chuckled, “Thankyou, Baron Charles, for clearing my doubts.”

“Not at all...”

Leonard just replied nonchalantly.

While laughing in response, suddenly, a familiar female voice echoed in his ear, “In two minutes, there will be something hidden in the flower bed by the third pillar to the southeast. Make sure you take it out.”

The Silver Moon Leader!

Is the purpose really to steal something?

Upon hearing this Spirit message, Leonard immediately knew who it was.

He made no move to look for the source of the transmission.

But at the moment when his gaze faltered, Catherine Carter seemed to see something, “What’s wrong?”

Leonard stood up, bowed his body slightly and extended his hand, “I was wondering if I have the honour of inviting Miss Carter for another dance?”

Catherine Carter looked at him and agreed with pleasure,” Sure.”

Unconsciously, this would be the third time she had danced with this man.

She seemed to have no reason to refuse.

Leonard gently took her delicate hand into his palm, while instantly calculating the time and distance in his mind.

Two minutes, a distance of fifty-two meters to the flower bed.

Leonard didn’t show any abnormalities, but he was silently counting down in his heart.

Two minutes were not long, they only danced a few beats.

Having danced several times, they weren’t strangers to each other.

Leonard was dancing and at the same time observing the entire banquet hall with peripheral vision, subtly guiding the lady towards the designated direction.

Almost on time, he saw a security officer in a suit entering the room.

The man’s path led him straight past the third pillar to the southeast!

Without a pause, he headed straight for the window pane.

Leonard, fully focused on observing his surroundings, noticed that after the man entered, there was a flurry of footsteps outside.

“Surrounded?”

Leonard had a rough idea of what was going on.

It seemed that the man had stolen something and was immediately discovered. Knowing he couldn’t escape, he left the item in the banquet hall to be carried out by Leonard.

The plan itself was not flawed.

Before he could think further, a group of men in black suits rushed in.

It’s not often you meet someone of equal calibre.

Looking at the beautiful and composed face in front of him, Leonard Churchill’s smile grew more exaggerated and dangerous.

Raising an eyebrow, Catherine Carter asked calmly, “Are you going to take action against me? If you kidnapped me, you’d be able to escape.”

Listening, Leonard Churchill shook his head, chuckling.

He didn’t lash out. Instead, he bent over in quite a gentlemanly manner to kiss Catherine’s hand, admiring her charm, “How could I bear to harm such a beautiful lady.”

This compliment not only praised her physical beauty but also her wisdom.

And that was exactly what he thought.

Besides, the truth was just the opposite of what Catherine had said.

Without kidnapping her, he would have a chance to escape.

If he kidnapped her, he would undoubtedly meet certain death!

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Catherine instinctively felt a sincere sense of admiration.

She thought of something, slightly smiled, and said, “Come on, let me see you out.”

With a grin, Leonard Churchill said, “Thankyou.”

Watching his calm demeanor, Catherine regarded him with newfound respect and asked, “Aren’t you curious about why I’m helping you?”

Under such circumstances, even if he had the credentials of the X Bureau, if captured he would definitely be in trouble.

Despite this predicament, he remains so composed?

Leonard Churchill effortlessly deflected, “It’s an internal issue of the Lionheart family. It’s not my place as an outsider to comment.”

Catherine laughed lightly, “You’re quite clever.”

Leonard Churchill just smiled without saying a word.

Their relationship was merely acquaintanceship, not nearly close enough for her to betray her family interests to help an outsider.

The only explanation for her willingness to help would be some power struggle within her family.

He had long heard about the bloody succession dispute between the main and second branch of the Anka Clan.

This Silver Mist Rose was not as frail as she appeared.

Two intelligent individuals did not need to make everything explicit.

Not wanting to further dwell on the subject, Catherine looked slightly miffed and continued, “Also, if there’s a next time, could you please not invite me to dance with ulterior motives? It is very impolite.”

Thinking back, all three times they had danced, it had been so.

She felt like a tool.

With a grin, Leonard Churchill agreed, saying, “Alright.”

This woman has changed so much since their first meeting at the Flood Gang casino.

The two of them chatted as they walked out.

With the elder miss’s escort, no one in the Lionheart Family dared to stop them.

Leonard Churchill successfully took the item out with him.
