"Fuck!"Just as Faye had invited Lucy to lunch at noon, she received news that C's people had taken Alice away.Faye had given Alice a safe route. She'd also kept an eye on Cedric's movements.But C had still taken her away."Is this a challenge?" Faye gnashed her teeth. She took out an extremely ordinary-looking phone and disassembled it, turning it into a little laptop.With her slender fingers, she began typing on the keyboard.After a few minutes, she found Alice's location. She frowned when she found that it was at a large villa.This place looked familiar.Because of Hank, Faye had investigated the Shaws after coming back to the country. If her memory served her right, that villa was built by the Shaws. On top of that, Alice was right where they were living now.Could it be that the Shaws from Jeorgia and Jorn City were related?Faye stroked her chin. She'd investigated both of these families before, and she hadn't discovered many links between them.Even if there were
After lunch, Faye's phone beeped again.She grabbed it and realized that although their attacks looked demure and harmless, they were about to destroy her last wall of defense.Faye cursed internally and began working at the table at once.She'd underestimated C.Faye hadn't expected that someone who would hire Q to help him find information would be so powerful.If he were so talented, he could have found information about her by himself. Why did he need Q?What Faye didn't know was that Cedric wasn't lacking in talent. He just didn't want to expose his identity.On top of that, even if he had personally done it, it probably would have bore the same results. So why not let Q do it instead?Lucy saw how busy Faye was and sighed, feeling bad for her. She silently took a photo of Faye and posted it on social media."I feel so bad for my baby. She's still working even during meal time," the caption said. There was even a crying emoji next to it.Faye didn't know about this. Ten
Lucy, who was still in a daze because of Faye's beauty, blinked and turned toward the entrance.There was a girl in her mid-20s standing there. She had brown wavy hair and a bow nestled in it. Arrogance and pride were written on her delicate face.She was wearing a pink miniskirt and high heels. She strode haughtily into the shop and pointed at Faye, saying, "I said, I want to buy this outfit. Where's the attendant? Didn't you hear me?""Don't you know what ‘first come, first served' means?" Lucy smirked and shielded Faye. She looked at the arrogant girl in amusement. "Can't you see that my friend is trying it on?""So what if she is? She hasn't bought it yet."Ruth Keane flipped her hair and said cockily, "Does it mean it's hers if she tried it on? Haven't you ever bought anything online before? Whoever pays first gets it."Lucy was exasperated. "But you haven't paid for it yet, either, have you? At least my friend is wearing it. What about you?""So many people try things on i
The scene suddenly fell silent.In the boutique, several shop assistants, including the manager, were all drawn by the noise. They rushed over, attempting to ease the atmosphere.However, when they heard Ruth speaking in a honeyed voice once she got through the phone, they went silent. They all shot sympathetic glances at the previous shop assistant.The manager even silently came up to her and said worriedly, "It is indeed Mr. Colt on the other end of the line. Don't say anything later. I'll deal with it."The shop assistant was touched. At the same time, she also gained the courage to face it head-on.She shook her head. "It's alright. I can handle it."The manager frowned. "What do you mean you can handle it? She's Mr. Colt's sister. You'll lose your job if you offend her."However, the shop assistant stood firm. "Trust me. I really can handle it."Seeing as how the manager was still skeptical and worried, the shop assistant tugged on her hand and pointed to Faye. Dres
When Lincoln arrived at the boutique, Faye and Cedric had already left. Ruth was left behind, heartbroken and hysterical.The boutique staff had stared at Cedric and Faye in envy as they left. Cedric's dominant air paired with Faye's elegance was a breathtaking sight.The way Cedric had told the shop assistant to use his card especially made everyone go weak in their knees.Lincoln was at a loss when he saw Ruth sitting on the ground crying. He tried comforting her for a long while but his efforts were in vain. He was getting desperate.Fortunately, the staff explained that Cedric had come by and even bought a dress for a woman. However, they only mentioned that the woman was Light Moon's employee. They didn't dare expose Faye's identity. But Lincoln knew in an instant. So, Ruth came here to find trouble because she knew Cedric liked Priscilla?But Cedric had happened to be here at the same time. Instead of causing trouble with Priscilla, Ruth was given a taste of her
Early next morning, Faye received a call from the police station. They were requesting her to come over for questioning.When Faye was about to leave, only then did she realize that Cedric hadn't come back last night. She frowned, but decided not to question it. She then went downstairs and headed directly to the police station.It had only been a few days since Faye last saw Clint and his family. They looked worn out and haggard. But when they saw her, they immediately became energized. They sprang toward her, as if they wanted to pounce on her. "Faye, you bitch! You really got us in deep trouble. Tell me, what do you really want?""Are you trying to drive us to our deaths? I don't care where you got those fabricated pieces of evidence—they're all fake! Fake! Did you bribe the police?"Faye smiled nonchalantly as they frenzily berated her. "It seems like the police have been kind to you guys lately, allowing you to scream and shout like this. Are you still not satisfied w
Faye sat in the car with her headphones on. She was tuning into the conversation between Clint and Lizzie. A grin formed on her face—it seemed like the two had taken the bait.Content, Faye whistled and cruised leisurely on the road. However, after a while, she suddenly sensed a car tailing her. She grinned slightly and deliberately decelerated. She wanted to assess what was the deal with the car.The individual in the car seemed wary of being noticed by her and matched her slowing pace.Unable to decipher their intentions, Faye didn't want to waste any more time. She swiftly hit the gas, pushing the inconspicuous old car to high speeds. Meanwhile, the car behind realized her abrupt maneuver, but was too tardy to catch up.Faye's driving skills were top-notch. Even though her car seemed weathered, it was far from being internally worn out. In the blink of an eye, she had outpaced the trailing car and its taillights disappeared in the distance.However, just as she had sh
Faye had extensive experience in wilderness survival. Over the past few years abroad, she had had numerous close calls. So she was able to swiftly use her tool to free the driver's leg."Can you move?" Faye asked. She watched the man struggle to shift his legs. However, after a couple of attempts, he was drenched in sweat from the intense pain. He could barely stand, let alone assist in the rescue.Faye immediately doused him with a bottle of mineral water, and another bottle on herself. Unfortunately, her hair got singed in a few spots by the flames, emitting the smell of burnt protein.But Faye disregarded this and retrieved a pill from her pocket. She then handed it to the man."Take this. We've got one minute. Each of us takes one person. Run as far as you can."Saying so, she turned to pick up the elderly man and took off in a sprint—not even bothering to spare a glance at the man's face.The man was puzzled by her statement, considering that his condition might not
