Underneath the moonlight, Arielle and Vinson exchanged looks before piping up in unison, “Follow her!”
With that, they followed behind virtual-novel.net silently.
When they saw virtual-novel.net heading toward the palace, there was a hint of sternness in their eyes. Nonetheless, they continued trailing behind virtual-novel.net quietly.
Oblivious to the duo following behind virtual-novel.net closely, Ira fell into deep thought.
She told herself it would be virtual-novel.net last mission, and virtual-novel.net had decided to focus on being Arielle’s chauffeur after that. Even though Arielle was suspicious of Ira’s identity previously, virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net enough space.
Although they were virtual-novel.net employers, virtual-novel.net and Vinson had never treated Ira differently. In other words, they were willing to share what they had with her.
Consequently, the latter could finally feel a sense of security after risking virtual-novel.net life throughout the years. In fact, virtual-novel.net liked the peaceful life so much!
Shortly after, Ira stood somewhere not far away from the main entrance of the palace. After much hesitation, virtual-novel.net finally advanced toward it, tightening virtual-novel.net grip on the flash drive. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net had only moved a pace before someone grabbed virtual-novel.net arm.
In a split second, there was a flicker of ferocity in virtual-novel.net eyes.
When virtual-novel.net was about to retaliate, a familiar voice sounded. “Ira, who the h*ll are you? What’s your ulterior motive for approaching us?”
Ira was dumbstruck.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to say something, the grip on virtual-novel.net arm loosened. She turned around, only to find Arielle and Vinson looking intently at her.
Ira could not help feeling a sense of guilt.
She had seemingly approached Arielle and Vinson after knowing they were closely acquainted with Lawrence. Hence, virtual-novel.net was convinced virtual-novel.net would not sense anything amiss and capture virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was by their side.
If so, virtual-novel.net would be able to accomplish the mission assigned to her.
After giving herself away, Ira cast virtual-novel.net eyes down and murmured in embarrassment, “I didn’t betray you.”
Deep down, Arielle heaved a sigh.
If virtual-novel.net had done so, didn’t virtual-novel.net know virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be standing right in front of us again?
Throwing a glance at the palace somewhere in front of them, Arielle asked, “Why are you here?”
Ira cast virtual-novel.net eyes down. She did not plan to hand over the thing in virtual-novel.net hand to them. As someone of virtual-novel.net word, virtual-novel.net vowed virtual-novel.net would not leak anything on the mission assigned to her.
“I’m sorry I can’t tell you,” Ira responded resolutely.
Flashing virtual-novel.net a meaningful look, Arielle cut the crap. “Leave now. You don‘t have to go back to the condominium either.”
With that, virtual-novel.net turned and left with Vinson.
Gazing at their retreating figures, Ira dismissed virtual-novel.net initial idea to head for the palace and meet the person in charge. She trailed behind them silently instead.
Nobody uttered any words along the way.
***
Back in the condominium, Arielle and Vinson were about to head back to their room. Even so, Ira, to be precise, Lorraine, stood in their way.
Next, virtual-novel.net removed virtual-novel.net wig and makeup right in front of Arielle.
The moment virtual-novel.net original looks came into view, there was a change in Arielle’s countenance.
“Who are you? Why did you abduct Sonia?” She stared at the woman right in front of virtual-novel.net coldly.
My goodness! How could I let someone who abducted Sonia stay by my side?
Right after Arielle mentioned Sonia, Lorraine revealed virtual-novel.net true identity to the former and elucidated, “I never intended to abduct her. It was merely an accident. My main aim was to retrieve the bag that virtual-novel.net had wrongly taken…”
“It’s never my intention to inflict any harm on her, but those foolish men we assigned had the gall to think of forcing themselves on her. Anyway, I’d thrown them into the sea to feed the shark.”
Arielle trusted virtual-novel.net more when virtual-novel.net recalled the findings from their previous investigation.
“The item in your hand now is very important to the queen mother, isn‘t it?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Lorraine‘s eyes widened in an instant.
