Outcast Queen: Her Return from Hell novel Chapter 276

"Oh, right. I also spotted someone else."

"Who?"

"Eleanor!"

Warren's pupils instantly shrank as he stood up abruptly. "Are you sure?"

"Positive! I saw her walking closely with Milton Lawson, the president of the Chamber of Commerce. They seemed to be having a great conversation."

Upon hearing this, Warren's expression became highly complicated. His sister had left home years ago. He never expected to hear news of her while keeping tabs on Phoenix.

Did Phoenix go to Elysian Manor to see Eleanor?

Impossible!

Phoenix had never even met Eleanor. She probably didn't even know she had an aunt. This felt more like a coincidence.

Warren exhaled deeply, realizing he was being overly paranoid. "Keep watching. If anything happens, report it to me immediately."

"Understood."

Hanging up the phone, Warren wiped his face, forcing himself to stop overthinking. Since his men were keeping an eye on Phoenix, if she actually tried something, he'd be able to react right away.

...

Meanwhile, in the lounge area of Elysian Manor.

Phoenix had changed into an understated black haute couture gown. With a wide-brimmed hat and tinted sunglasses, she instantly transformed from a corporate elite into a mysterious, glamorous socialite.

She found a discreet spot, sat down gracefully, and casually grabbed a glass of champagne from a passing waiter's tray, blending perfectly into the opulent atmosphere.

*Ding—*

Her phone buzzed with a message.

Phoenix pulled down her sunglasses, checked the text, and a slight smirk appeared on her lips.

Eustace: [Phoenix, Eleanor's target today is the grand finale of the auction—The White Jade Buddha Head. She wants to use it as a stepping stone to secure a partnership with Milton Lawson.]

Phoenix typed back: [Got it.]

She put her phone away just as a man and a woman came into view in the distance.

The woman was elegant and luxurious, wearing a striking red gown that radiated a powerful, captivating aura. The man beside her was composed and reserved, wearing a sharp suit. He wore an approachable smile, though it clearly hid a sharp, calculating nature.

It was Eleanor and Milton.
