Soon, a long ladder was lowered from the helicopter, and five people jumped down. As they got closer, Reid's nerves were on edge, feeling more danger than with the first group they met. "Are you with the Lancaster family?" the first man asked politely as he approached Reid.

Reid took in the sight of the man before him; he seemed well-mannered and was quite young, likely no older than twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He wore a friendly smile, appearing completely non-threatening. At that moment, Reid remembered the call he had made to Miss Mirabella earlier. She mentioned someone would come to help them could she have meant this group?

Arriving in a combat helicopter-that was Miss Mirabella's doing? Reid felt like the world had gone a bit surreal. He stood there, momentarily stunned, before nodding, "And you are?"

"My name is Toby Jenkins," the man introduced himself simply. His gaze shifted to Dan, who was leaning against the car, and he added apologetically, "Sorry we were a bit late. We have a doctor on board. Let's get your injured friends on the plane for some quick treatment."

As Toby spoke, he efficiently directed his team to carry Dan and the other injured men onto the helicopter. The movements were swift, and Reid, still in a bit of a daze, found himself seated on the helicopter.

"Don't worry, except for Mr. Douglas, who is seriously injured, the others are fine," Toby assured Reid from across the seat. Reid nodded, expressing his gratitude again, "Thank you, Mr. Jenkins."

"No need to thank me; we're all on the same side," Toby replied with a slight nod. Hearing Toby's friendly words, Reid once again found himself a bit confused.

Within minutes, the helicopter touched down on a private helipad in Ravenshade. As soon as they got off, Dan was whisked away by doctors for surgery. After making sure Reid and his team were settled, Toby hurried off to report back.

Just as Reid was about to call Mirabella, her call came in first. "Are you safe? Mirabella asked, still in the car with Wyatt, who was driving quick towards Ravenshade. Reid nodded, replying, "We're safe though Danis still in surgery. You don't need to worry about the others, Miss. Mira." Mirabella's tense expression softened, "Alright, send me your location. I'll be there soon."

"Okay."

After the call, Reid sent his location to Mirabella and quickly phoned Grady to report the day's events. The attackers were specifically targeting Miss Mira, likely to prevent her from becoming the heir This pointed someone within the Lancaster family hiring the hitmen; couldn't have been an outsider.

**Meanwhile, at the council of elders. Jaime got a call, and his face immediately darkened. The senior elder looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"The mission failed," Jaime said, tossing his phone aside in frustration over the unexpected turn of events. The senior elder frowned, "How did that happen?"

"They say Miss Mira wasn't actually in the convoy, and the hit squad ran into another group who rescued Dan and the others," Jaime explained "Who dares mess with Lancaster family business? The senjarelder set down his coffee cup, his presence commanding respect. This content belongs to find?novel.net

"Not sure yet," Jaime narrowed his eyes, "But it's clear that Keir's niece can't stay

in the Lancaster family." Someone with so many uncertainties would only ruin

everything they had worked so hard to build.
