“Yes, sir.” So, he’s still suspecting the madam. He wants to find out why she was really there. It was his job to look
into it, though Caleb thought it was unnecessary. He thought Alice was there at the airport to welcome Ethan. Why
else would she come home with him? A minute later, Caleb received a text from Bradley. After looking at it, he said,
“Sir, the madam didn’t go to any malls. She got a ride and left.”
“Tell Bradley to tail her and give me the location. I’ll be right there. Make sure she doesn’t realize you’re following
her.” Ethan stood up and left the room, ignoring his guest.
He knew she had something to hide from him, and he intended to find out what it was. Quickly, he went downstairs.
His car was waiting right outside, so he could still catch up with Alice.
Bradley had given Caleb Alice’s location, and Caleb quickly caught up to her car. He then called Bradley, “The
madam’s in a cab with a plate ending with number 549. I saw her getting in the cab herself,” said Bradley quickly.
The speaker was on, so Ethan heard that. He quickly locked on to the car Bradley said. His eyesight was great, so
even though there was some distance between him and the car, he noticed there was someone in the backseat. He
couldn’t see it clearly, but her hair was almost the same as Alice’s. “Are you sure you saw her getting in the car and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat she didn’t change cars?” Ethan was worried. That woman was as sly as a fox, so he must be on guard.
“Don’t worry. I saw her getting in the car myself, and I’ve been following her since then. The car hasn’t stopped
once, so she couldn’t have gotten out of the car.” Bradley had always been a careful person, especially when it
came to Alice’s matter. He had been keeping an eye on the car this whole time, and he didn’t even blink once.
There’s no way I got the wrong person.
Ethan looked at the cab again, but he still couldn’t see clearly due to the distance between them. He wasn’t sure if
that passenger was Alice.
“Sir, should I keep following the car, or should I leave this to you?” He’s following me. Not going to overtake me, I
see. I don’t think I should stand between him and the car.
“Keep following the car.” Ethan was worried his car might stand out too much. Moreover, Alice just rode in his car,
so she would surely recognize it. He didn’t want her to realize he was tailing her, so he lagged behind Bradley.
“Sure.” Bradley kept following the cab, keeping the same distance between them.
Ethan was keeping an eye on the cab as well. It wasn’t going too fast as there was a speed limit here. The
passenger had been quiet all this time, and he couldn’t figure out if anything was wrong with her from this distance.
He tailed the car to see where Alice was going, so he couldn’t get too close. She knew her way around anti-
espionage.
There weren’t a lot of cars on this road, but there weren’t too few of them either, so him following Bradley wouldn’t
raise suspicion, and Ethan made sure he wasn’t going too fast either. However, he was surprised that the ride went
on for almost an hour. It was nearing the outskirts.
Ethan narrowed his eyes and said to Caleb, “Overtake them.” He wanted to find out if the passenger in the car was
Alice. If Caleb overtook the car, he could see the passenger the moment he passed by the cab. If it was her, then
he still had Bradley following the car, so all Caleb had to do was turn around and go back to Bradley.
However, the cab turned a corner at this moment and went into an alleyway. It was too narrow to overtake the cab,
so Caleb slowed down. Ethan paused for a moment, a conflicted look surfacing in his eyes.
The cab came to a stop in front of a neighborhood, and the passenger opened the door. Bradley stopped his car.
The moment the passenger opened the door, Bradley kept an eye on the cab.
Ethan was staring at the cab as well. The woman’s head showed first. Her hair was similar to Alice’s, and then he
saw her shirt. It was the same color as the one Alice wore.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut when the woman finally got out of the car, Bradley froze in shock. That’s not the madam. But how could it be? I
saw her getting in the car, and it hasn’t stopped since. She never got out of the car, so why is the passenger not
her?
Ethan narrowed his eyes and sneered. I knew she wouldn’t let us track her that easily. That sly little fox tricked
Bradley. He saw her getting in the cab, and it hasn’t stopped since. There is only one explanation for this. She never
got in the car in the first place.
As he suspected, Alice never got in the cab. Not long after she left the building, she noticed she was tailed. Her
seven years of living in constant concern for her survival helped her develop anti-espionage skills. She wasn’t sure
who was tailing her, but she didn’t have time to find out as she was in a hurry to pick Apollo up.
She couldn’t risk exposing Apollo, so no matter who her pursuer was, she must shake them off. Just then, she
noticed a woman with similar hairstyle and clothes walking by, so she gave her seventy-five dollars to help her out
with this trick, and it succeeded.
“She must’ve realized Bradley was tailing her, so she came up with this plan of escape.” In other words, Alice didn’t
mean to lie to Ethan, or so Caleb was saying.
“Find out where she went.” Ethan looked dark. He didn’t care about her reasons for leaving. The fact remained that
she lied to him and left the place. She didn’t even stay for five minutes after going to that place, and then she
wanted to leave. Why is she in a hurry? Who is the person she wants to meet?
