Chapter 263
James rose to his feet. His face was an unreadable mask as he ascended the
staircase, Wyatt watched his boss disappear, with panic setting in. He slumped
against the armrest of the couch, muttering, “This is it. I'm done for. I feel like I'm
about to be exiled to the frontier.”
Curtis noticed Wyatt's look of despair and frowned, especially after hearing him
earlier. emphasize that “James. Ignoring his own wounds, Insisted on escorting

“The surveillance footage from the night market was tampered with, but I've
managed to restore it. From the angle, it's clear the target wasn’t the boss. It was
Ms. Mirabella,” Curtis stated icily.
Wyatt's head snapped up in surprise. “No way, Ms. Mirabella’s just a regular
student. Why would anyone target her? Besides, this is her first time in

But why. would a so-called regular student be targeted by someone with dubious
intentions? Have your really thought about that?”
Wyatt touched his nose and murmured, “That's because she’s with the boss.”
“Are you letting a single box of incense cloud your judgment of her?” Curtis
shook his head, exasperated.
Sure, the Incense of Calm was priceless, but considering James" stature, was he
really someone to be swayed by such a trifle?
“It's not about blind trust. Besides, I checked her background. She's just a girl
raised by her grandma in the countryside, innocent and unblemished except for a
melodramatic family history,” Wyatt insisted, speaking from his gut feelings.
Sometimes he found Mirabella mysterious, like where she got the incense or how
she suddenly turned her poor academic record around and became the talk of
the school. But none of that

Shaking his head, Wyatt decided not to dwell on Curtis“ thoughts. Instead, he
pulled out his phone and sent Mirabella a text.
