Hanake had already considered the possibility that Bella might withdraw from the restaurant, but he hadn't expected Marcus's attempt to secure a position there to fail so quickly.
Now that Jade had rejected Marcus outright, they would have to find another way to gain access to the restaurant and gather the information they wanted.
For the moment, their efforts had yielded little more than wasted time and an exposed connection.
Once Jade learned the full extent of the scheme, he immediately forwarded the information to Ivy and Silas.
After receiving the report, Ivy remained surprisingly calm.
She had already suspected that someone would eventually target the restaurant, especially given its growing popularity and the valuable resources associated with it.
Ivy chuckled softly as she finished reading the message.
"This is such a childish move. From what I can see, he won't gain anything from this attempt, and his entire plan has been rendered useless for now."
