Chapter 2071
“Mom, the vehicle that just got out must have been followed. With Byron’s powerful influence in Coast City, we may even have difficulty leaving the villa now,” Sophie stood by the window and gently opened the curtains with her fingers to reveal a little gap. She observed the surroundings.
Outside was eerily quiet.
Sophie expected many eyes to be surveilling them around the villa.
First, she asked two private detectives to drive out with the goal of approaching the Jacobs old home. Her intention was not to find the heirloom but to disrupt Byron’s arrangement.
Immediately afterwards, she picked up her mobile phone and said, “You can go too!”
In the courtyard of the villa, the lights of another car were turned on. This car belonged to Ethan, and there were two other private detectives sitting in it. The destination of their trip was the airport.
Sophie believed that Byron had predicted the destination of the two cars and it was the focus of their surveillance.
Sure enough, not long after the car headed out, the detective immediately reported back. “Miss Sophie, there is a car following us.”
“Don’t bother with it, try to circle around the city as long as possible, and then look for the flight that takes off at ten o’clock tonight.” Sophie ordered.
At this time, in the lobby on the second floor, Sophie looked back at her brother Ethan and nodded.
Ethan had already restrained his devil-may-care attitude. It was Sophie who warned Ethan, that if he failed to escape this time, it would not just be two broken arms this time. He might become a quadriplegic.
He was frightened immediately. How would he gamble in the future if he was paralyzed?
However, he still did not understand why his mother would say that he had participated in poisoning Rosalie’s mother.
He was only five years old. What could he do?
Confused, Ethan followed his sister’s plan and turned off the lights on the second floor, plunging the entire hall into darkness.
Three figures sneaked down the stairs in the dark, only bringing their IDs with them. They were wrapped up nice and tight in warm and dark clothing.
Anyway, it is winter now. The weather was extremely cold, and most people are dressed like this. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
They went to the living room on the first floor, then continued down to the basement parking lot.
In this villa, the basements were not a standalone but connected to the complex. Sophie was betting that the people arranged by Byron were none the wiser.
For this purpose, they have already prepared other vehicles.
When Sophie came back this afternoon, she was already making plans in her mind. So, a taxi came in at that time.
She rented the car on the spot at a high price. What she wanted was the appearance of a regular taxi that would not easily arouse suspicion from others.
All went well as the three got into the car. Sophie was in charge of driving, and immediately closed all the windows of the car tightly, preparing to drive to a further south gate.
Sure enough, there was only an old security guard at the door. The parking lot system recognized that the taxi had stayed for more than five hours, and the old security guard demanded payment.
Sophie quickly threw out two banknotes and muttered,” Here’s some money for drinks. I’m in a hurry, let me go!”
The old security guard’s eyes lit up immediately. He nodded, quickly pressed the remote control, and lifted the railing.
At this moment, the hearts of the three people in the car were pounding wildly. Sophie asked her mother and brother to pay attention to their surroundings, while she slammed on the accelerator and quickly let the taxi merge into the traffic flow.
“No one here!” Ethan glanced around, but there was no one worth noting.
Violet also looked around nervously. “There should be no one. Sophie, where shall we go next?”
Sophie felt that her heart was about to jump into her throat. After taking a few deep breaths, she replied, “Let’s go to the small pier, leave Coast City first, and head to Province G. When we get there, we will be very close to Crystal Wharf territory.”
The three of them thought that they had a chance.
However, they never thought that the old security guard at the south gate quickly picked up his mobile phone, made a call and reported their license plate number.
