"Mr. and Mrs. Moriarty! How wonderful to see you both here! I heard that James Sullivan had—haaa," Patton stuttered on seeing the other person step down from the carriage.
The person who had accompanied Vincent and Eve was none other than Noah Sullivan, and the councilman looked at him with his mouth agape.
A scheming grin appeared on Vincent's lips, and he asked the councilman, "What is the matter, Mr. Garth?"
Patton's lips moved but no sound came as he stared at Noah. He then finally said, "T—that, behind you!"
