The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 918

Warren had made that statement as he stood up. Jasmine herself frowned as she scanned through the storeroom.

Her gaze stopped when she saw a few joss sticks placed near a corner of the room.

“Those must’ve been the reason why we were so sleepy!” said Jasmine as she pointed at her discovery.

“So that’s why! Still, who were those people…? Why didn’t they just tell us who they were after saving us?” replied Maia.

Before anyone could even reply, one of the group’s members—who had already been exploring the place—shouted, “Hey, come over here, I think they left something for us!”

Hearing that, everyone encircled the box with a note on it.

The note itself wrote, ‘To: Maia.’

“Guess we know who gets to open it,” said yet another member of the team.

Maia herself was now feeling giddy with excitement. As she thought about what could be inside, she caught a glimpse of Warren bearing an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Noticing that she was looking at him, Warren then said with a hint of anger in his voice, “Go on and open it already! If you don’t I will!”

“Hey, this is clearly for me! Only I get to open it!” retorted Maia in an annoyed tone.

“Well then open it! Carefully, though! We have no idea what’s in it!” grumbled Warren as he looked at Maia, almost as though he wanted to pick a fight.

In all honesty, he was worried that if Maia truly liked the contents of that box, she would end up falling for somebody else.

Before an argument could take place, Jasmine shouted in a hushed tone, “Quit it! Can’t you hear that? Someone’s coming over!”

Upon saying that, she instantly headed to the storeroom’s main door with soundless steps.

The tension rose as everyone prepared themselves to face whatever came next. After all, the people outside could very well be the Schuylers.

After a brief moment of silence, however, a sweet female voice could be heard saying, “Jasmine? Maia? Are you in there…?”

Jasmine recognized that voice anywhere.
