Chapter 308 She Can’t Escape
That made Aurora stop in her tracks. She pushed the door open and her hand rested on the handle, her voice filled with surprise as she asked, “Where is she?”
L was much calmer than her, and his tone was inexplicably serious. “She’s hiding in a remote mountain villa, but the problem now is that if we tell the police about this information, we may alert her.”
If Nevaeh fled away again, it wouldn’t be so easy to find her. Besides, L had put in a lot of effort to find the slightest clue this time.
If she was alert and fled away again, the longer she was allowed to escape, the greater the danger.
After some consideration, Aurora made up her mind.
“Then we keep it quiet, and catch her off guard.” Said she.
Her heart skipped a beat, and an idea flooded into her mind.
There was no better option now. They need fewer people to sneak in without arousing her suspicion.
“Leave the task of arranging people to me, don’t worry.” Said Aurora.
L knew that Aurora was a decisive person, so he didn’t say much after hearing her words.
“Be careful and let me know if anything happens.”
“Okay.”
After the call, Aurora took off her newly worn high heels and walked into the living room. She said, “Cameron, can you arrange some reliable men for me? I need them right away.”
She looked nervous and her words were tinged with a hint of anxiety. Cameron was originally watching financial news, but turned his head in concern and asked, “What happened?”
“I’ve got the trace of Nevaeh. Not to alert her, I’ll go get her in secret.”
Then, she went upstairs and changed her clothes before coming back down. Cameron had already finished packing and was standing at the door.
“Let’s go,” he said.
“Okay.”
Aurora did not refuse. Now she just wanted to find Nevaeh.
The two of them walked out of the villa side by side, and the bodyguards who had been waiting outside opened the car doors for them. Cameron got into the car and turned around to say, “Why don’t you wait for me at home? I’m worried about your safety.”
“We got so many people.”
Aurora gave him a reassuring look.
“Besides, I want to see her get caught with my own eyes.”
Cameron didn’t insist anymore and nodded.
Although Theodore found Nevaeh, he was a bit slower than Mr L, his teacher. According to the agreement with Sion, Theodore sent him the location he found.
Sion received a message from “Mr T”, reading, “Don’t forget about our previous agreement.”
After sending this message, Theodore went offline.
Sion looked at the sentence on his computer screen and instantly lit up with excitement. He wanted to reply but saw that Mr T’s profile picture had turned grey. So he left for that place in no time.
He knew Nevaeh well enough to know that if she had hidden herself deep in the mountains, she must have prepared an escape route long ago. They couldn’t let law enforcement search for her openly; otherwise, it would alert her.
He called his assistant to arrange people while stepping on the gas pedal.
Sion and Aurora met each other at the foot of a mountain by coincidence. Apart from being surprised for a moment, they felt like it was meant to be. Sion even felt slightly pleased about their unspoken understanding.
“Aurora,” he said cautiously, “why don’t you stay down here?”
If Nevaeh set up any traps, Aurora might be in danger.
Aurora glanced at him uneasily because she had refused him last time, “It’s okay, there are so many people here. She wouldn’t bring too many people around if she wants to hide.”
Nevaeh was cunning enough.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Cameron coldly eyed Sion, “Mr Carroll, you don’t need to worry. I will protect Aurora.”
“Aurora should come with me…”
“Stop!” Aurora could no longer stand their bickering and interrupted, “Let’s just catch her first! I can take care of myself! You two should focus on protecting yourselves!”
Whenever they were together like this, it always ended up as an arena battle where nothing ever got accomplished because they couldn’t stop arguing every three sentences or less.
Sion withdrew his gaze from Cameron then turned towards David.” Be careful out there.”
“Yes.”
David wasn’t unfamiliar with these kinds of things. He led some men ahead as scouts while clearing out any possible obstacles along their way forward.
Cameron didn’t say anything more and just exchanged a glance with the bodyguard before following him. At this point, everyone seemed to have reached an unspoken agreement and had already united together because they all had one common goal-to catch Nevaeh.
In the villa, Nevaeh had a sense of foreboding. She walked to the balcony and looked down at the mountain but didn’t see anything weird. The mountain wasn’t very high, but the paths were complex, so there shouldn’t be anyone who could find their way there.
Just as Nevaeh was about to let out a breath of relief, she heard faint footsteps outside the villa’s door and her heart skipped a beat. She panicked and quickly retreated backwards. Then she hurried back into her room to grab her belongings before escaping through the back door.
Because she was too anxious, she accidentally knocked over a vase on the coffee table. The sound of shattering glass broke through the silence in between mountains.
The people outside heard noises coming from inside. They rushed in only to find an empty room which made David turn around with a serious expression on his face.
He said, “Mr Carroll, I’m afraid she has discovered us already and escaped!”
Sion looked towards another side of the wall frowningly while Aurora became extremely anxious. “Split up, we can’t let her escape!” said Aurora.
“Aurora, we’ll go this way!” Sion spoke first then pulled Aurora towards him domineeringly. “Mr Dawson, your team works well with your, you won’t mind helping block off another side, will you?”
Though reluctant, Cameron ordered his people, “Let’s go.”
“Then hurry up!” said Aurora.
Both teams acted separately by checking around in different directions below the walls until they found another hidden door behind them eventually.
There was only one small road here, probably the way down the mountain. The time it took for her to come from the entrance wasn’t very long.
“She hasn’t gone too far yet, we still have a chance!” said Aurora.
Sion nodded and turned to David. “Go down this road, and send some people along the path we came from to surround her.”
Aurora also wanted to follow along because she was too eager. However, as soon as she took two steps on the small road, she almost slipped and fell. A strong arm wrapped around her waist just in time.
“Aurora, be careful! Let them go chase after her. This path is too steep.” Sion pulled Aurora up and looked at her ankle with concern.
“I’m fine,” Aurora said as she took a couple of steps aside and watched their bodyguards chasing after their target with bated breaths. “She won’t get away again, will she?”
“No,” Sion’s voice carried an air of certainty. “She can’t escape.”
