Chapter 436 When Elliot and Evan arrived at the hotel, Nola and her bodyguard were still unconscious.

Shouldn't we say something? Will he really come?" "He will. If he wasn't planning to, he would've deactivated the burner phone by now. It's still active, which means he's waiting for our message. He'll come." Suddenly, Elijah's voice cthrough the earpiece, "Someone's tampering with the hotel's surveillance." "Who?" Elliot asked.
"I'm checking. Not sure if it's our guy, but don't worry, I've secured our surveillance system. They can't breach it." Elliot nodded, then asked, "Is Mom asleep?" "Yeah, she's sleeping soundly. Don't worry about her." Then, through the earpiece, Elliot checked with Emmett, "Emmett, is Blossom asleep too?" Emmett's childlike voice replied, "She's been asleep for a while. Don't worry about us. If Blossom suddenly shows up, I'll say you guys are in the bathroom." The four of them stayed vigilant at their 'posts', working together to catch the big fish.

Elijah replied, "He's carrying a fruit platter, seems he's here to deliver fruit." True enough, the next moment, the man called out, "Ms. Slater, the manager askedto bring you sfruit." Evan was puzzled, "Really? Just for fruit? Should we open the door, bro?" Elliot frowned slightly. It was an odd tto deliver fruit. Perhaps someone was trying to distract them.
