At the same time, an apartment.
Amanda stood at the window, looking down through the gap in the curtain.
Sure enough, there were a lot of suspicious faces.
And these guys, they were blocking all the passages through which she could leave.
Seeing this, Amanda could not help feeling edgy and paced back and forth across the room.
She had been preparing to leave City N since last night, when words got out that someone had spotted her, but she didnât think theyâd find her here so soon.
If she was right, as soon as it went dark, these guys would make a move.
Amanda took out her cell phone, made a few calls, opened the closet and began to disguise herself.
Half an hour later, a group of young motorcyclists yelling and whooping appeared outside the apartment all of a sudden.
Here, though not in downtown, there were still many people coming and going due to the fact that it was peak hours when people get off work. When they saw this scene, they all frowned and dodged.
The group showed no intention of leaving, but hung around the apartment on their bikes, deliberately causing chaos.
The subordinate next to Adolph Miller said, âMr. Miller, they are from Mr. Holton.â
Amanda had been hanging around in underground casinos recently, and those underground casinos were mostly run by Tyler Holton, so it was not surprising that she would know him.
Those people were involved in all kinds of crimes and illegal deeds such as pornography, gambling and drug abuse, as long as they were paid well, there was nothing they could not do.
Adolph said in a deep voice, âLeave them alone, and keep eyes on the apartment. She should come out in no time.â
âBut Mr. Miller, since this is the person that Mr. Holton wants to protect, are we..."
âDonât talk nonsense, just go back if youâre afraid.â
Fortunately, there were policemen patrolling nearby, and the noise here soon attracted them.
In addition, many residents called the police, and the rest of the police arrived one after another.
In the midst of all this chaos, a person dressed like a maintenance worker walked out of the apartment.
In spite of her deliberate disguise, her hands with the toolbox gave her away.
Adolph spotted her at first sight and immediately followed.
At almost the same time, Maxwell also walked towards Amanda from another direction.
Even with her hat pressed down, Amanda was keenly aware of the two men who came from the left and the right. When they were a few meters away from her, she suddenly turned her direction and sped off toward the parked motorbike on the side of the road. Then she stepped on the accelerator and rapidly drove away.
There happened to be a motorbike parked next to Adolph, so he quickly followed.
Maxwell remembered Clarenceâs instructions, and didnât dare to get too close to Adolph, so he pressed his earphones and said to the person guarding outside: âSheâs out, wearing a gray jumpsuit, dressed like a maintenance worker.â
Amanda knew that there must be others waiting for her, so she run towards a crowded place not caring if anyone got hurt.
Everywhere she went, there was screaming.
When she was crossing an intersection, she saw two black cars approaching her, so she turned around and slammed into the high school students who were waiting for the red light.
One car was forced to steer away, blocking in front of her and the high school students.
Seeing this, Amanda smiled with satisfaction. She made a turn quickly, and merged into the traffic.
The other car was still following her, but the traffic was a bit congested for it to move as flexibly as the motorbike. Within seconds she was out of sight.
Amanda didnât stop. She was so confident about herself that she thought she had managed to ditch her pursuers. Or, by this point, she didnât care about anything other than her own life.
She was on her motorbike, heading straight to the destination.
Far away, Adolph looked at her back, slowly stopped, and looked up to her destination, frowning tightly.
...
On the other side, Stella had just finished cooking the last dish, walked to the living room, picked up the phone, and called Sherry.
Stella asked, âSherry, where are you?â
Sherry answered, âWe are on the way back and stuck in traffic here. It might need a while."
âIs Donald with you?â
âYeah.â Sherry paused, then tentatively asked, âHas Mr. Conrad come back?"
Stella glanced at the man sitting next to her and said, âYes, he has.â
Sherry said, âThen you guys should eat without us, donât let Mr. Conrad wait too long...â
âItâs okay. He always works late without eating anything from noon to midnight. He wonât starve to death.â
Clarence was speechless.
On the other side of the phone, Sherry held back a smile and said, âThe traffic seems to be better now. We will be there in half an hour at most.â
âAll right, be careful on the way.â
As soon as Stella put away her phone, Clarence grabbed her wrist and pulled her down.
He whispered, âWhat did you just say?â
Stella sat on his lap and argued for reasons, âDid I say anything wrong? Every time I talk to you about this, you donât take it seriously. What can I do?â
Hardly had Stella finished her words when their phones on the coffee table rang simultaneously.
Stella turned her head and looked over. There was a call from Maxwell on his phone.
While Clarence looked at hers, it turned out to be an unfamiliar number.
Probably itâs Adolph Miller.
Neither of them moved until the phone screen went dark.
Stella was silent for a few seconds and asked, âWhy don't you answer the phone?â
Clarence asked instead of answer, âWhat about you?â
She knew that although there were things that required Adolphâs help, Clarence still disliked that she had contact with him. He didnât say anything this time, but if she answered Adolphâs call on his face, he would definitely not be happy about it.
âThen do we need to go to separate rooms?â
When Stella got up, about to go to the bedroom, she was pulled back into his arms.
Clarence said, âDonât. Letâs eat.â
âBut Sherry and the others havenât...â
Clarence said without expression, âIâm going to starve to death.â
Stella went silent.
All right.
Stella entered the kitchen, ready to serve him something to eat first.
She walked a few steps, and when she looked back, she saw him pick up the phone.
Stella tilted her head; why did she feel like she was fooled?
However, he didnât call Maxwell back either.
Whenever he did not answer, Maxwell would not call him again, instead he would send him a short message to explain the matter.
Looking at the massage sent by Maxwell, Clarenceâs look grew colder.
After a while, he clenched his phone, got up and said to Stella, âIâm going out.â
Stella was stunned, realizing something was happening, but she just said, âBe careful.â

She nodded slightly and said yes.
