Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 770

After sending Tyrell away, Valerie arranged for a private jet. Although she wanted to go herself, she couldn't leave because there was no one to care for Hugo, and Sophia's health was poor. As a result, she had Charles take a team and escort Owen instead.

Before setting off, Valerie specifically reminded Charles. "Mr. Anderson is cunning and deceitful. Don't be fooled by him, and don't take everything he says at face value. If necessary, don't hesitate to use force."

"Understood, Mrs. Grant. Don't worry; I'll ensure to bring Mr. Grant back," Charles said.

"Okay, be careful!" Valerie said.

Four hours later, they arrived in Wakanda. As soon as they disembarked, the acrid scent of smoke greeted them with the wind. Charles looked around, his brow furrowed tightly. "Hurry up, Mr. Anderson. If we can't find Mr. Grant, you won't be going back either."

Owen had never faced such a threat before, and his fists clenched in response. However, he quickly composed himself and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll keep my promise. My people will be here to assist us."

Soon after, the reinforcements arrived. The small group was armed with guns, but Charles and his team were not intimidated; they quickly took control of Owen with their weapons. Valerie had advised them to contact local armed forces upon arrival, and they had assembled a cache of weapons accordingly.

Charles smirked at Owen and said, "Mr. Anderson, let's go!"

Owen was taken aback by how prepared Charles and his team were, having anticipated everything in advance. With a tight frown, he sneered. "Well, I didn't expect you to be so thorough. Are you treating me like a thief, keeping such close watch on me?"

"Mr. Anderson, I apologize for any offense, but it's about Mr. Grant's safety. We're doing this to find him as quickly as possible. With the situation in Wakanda being so chaotic, you are our only hope, and it is also for your safety," Charles replied.

Owen said nothing in response and directed his men to search with all their might. Of course, how sincere their efforts would be remained unknown to everyone.

After several days of no progress and seeing his men exhausted, Owen couldn't hold back his frustration. He shouted, "You're all useless! If you can't find Matthew, none of you have a reason to live! Get up and get moving! I won't be at ease until we find him in this damn place!"

Owen put on an angry facade, but Charles knew it was all just an act—he wasn't genuinely concerned. He said, "Mr. Anderson, time is running out. Mrs. Grant said if we don't have news within a week, we'll head back to Kranson City. And then..."

Charles didn't finish his sentence, but Owen understood the implication—Valerie wouldn't let him off easily, all because of that video. He quickly reassured, "Don't worry, we're getting closer to the rebels' locations with each search. We'll find something soon!"

Hearing this, Charles's brow furrowed deeply. He knew Owen was just putting on an act. He didn't believe his reassurances for a second and was only keeping an eye on things through real-time monitoring.

Privately, Owen tried every means to secretly contact the gang. During a bathroom break, he made a phone call but didn't speak; instead, he tapped the phone twice. He and the gang had a long-standing relationship, and this tapping—three long and two short knocks—served as a signal to let the gang leader know it was him.

Meanwhile, Matthew also obtained information about the gang's structure from Landry. The gang wielded significant power in Wakanda, so much so that even local armed groups dared not provoke them. The rebel leader's good relations with the gang provided Landry with an opportunity to exploit.

After securing the victory, the rebel leader invited the gang to celebrate and discuss the commission. The success was largely due to Landry's assistance. Inside the camp, everyone was elated, while Landry watched Jayden and his associates drink and get flushed with excitement. He quietly assessed the odds, thinking, 'Tonight is a perfect opportunity!'

Seeing them getting drunk, Landry smiled. Jayden pulled him and said, "You've got some real skills. You had them at a disadvantage in no time. I should have introduced you to them sooner!"

Landry smiled and replied, "Looking for some fun? Drinking's not all that exciting!"

Hearing this, Jayden looked at Landry with a knowing smile and said, "Landry, I thought you were something special. I get it now. Come on, let's make sure you have a good time tonight!" He pulled Landry toward a nearby tent, while the rebels continued their celebration.

Amidst the noisy surroundings and occasional patrols, Landry smiled, thinking, "Drink up, and later you'll be regretting this!"

Inside the tent, Jayden put his arm around Landry as they mingled with others in the temporary camp. He summoned a few women, and Landry, without hesitation, glanced at them before pulling out his phone. He began scrolling and occasionally tapping on it.
