Chapter 1271
"...Did Lane and Quincy have some sort of beef? Man, he went all out."
"Forget about her! I don't want to remember," Jeffrey said casually as he took her hand, "Are you, you know, feeling any discomfort?" Karen shook her head, "Nah, I'm good. Really good!"
Kenneth, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke up, asking Jeffrey, "Do you think Lane's got, like, some psychological issues?" "Definitely! What sane person does something like that?"
"I think Lane's deal with Quincy isn't because he hates Quincy, but rather... he's projecting his hate for Everett onto Quincy." Kenneth, being a guy who had also chased Dorothy for years, could somewhat... understand where Lane was coming from. It's not that he agreed with him, but...
If it weren't for having Karen, plus those four years he supported Dorothy, Everett probably wouldn't have let him stay in Eldorria City so peacefully.
Looking at what happened to Lane, he could imagine his own fate!
If he were to be disgracefully kicked out, as a man, he'd definitely harbor some resentment and grudges.
Even now, didn't he have some grudges against Everett?
He did.
But Kenneth could control it.
"That makes sense! Probably that's it," Jeffrey nodded.
After all, there wasn't a better explanation.
"You guys should head back, Karen still needs to rest up, let her take it easy," Kenneth waved them off, "I'm heading back too." "Alright."
Jeffrey watched Kenneth's retreating figure, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"What's with Kenneth today? He seems... different."
Karen blinked, "Huh? Different how?"
"Can't put my finger on it, just different!" Jeffrey sighed, "Let's head back."
"Okay."
Karen followed him to the car, and just as they were about to get in, she noticed something.
"Your clothes..."
"Everett's. Got some blood on mine, Dorothy didn't want you to worry, so she had me change."
Karen pouted, "Like I'd worry about you!"
Jeffrey squinted and smiled, not offended.
"Babe, I know you're just being tough, it's alright!"
"Hmph."
Karen got into the passenger seat, then seemingly casually asked, "Can Our phone for a sec?
I
Jeffrey handed it over without a second thought, asking casually, "What's up, checking up on me?"NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"Mhm, got a problem with that?"
"Not at all, Your Highness, please proceed!"
He started the car while Karen fiddled with the phone.
She stumbled upon a tracking app, then coughed lightly, asking, "What's this?"
"That's Lane's current rough location."
"Huh?" Karen was taken aback, "How do you know?"
"Lane made a couple of transfers to Quincy, the records mentioned a 'Cathy', probably his accomplice. Figured his phone must be under that person's name, and sure enough, traced it and found
Karen patted his head, "You're pretty smart, huh!"

"As much as I'd love to take credit, it was Everett's idea."
"I knew it!"
Karen said as she noted down the location and phone number.
"Now that we know where Lane is, why not catch him? He must think he's hidden so well!" Indeed, the location was pretty secluded out in the sticks.
"Everett didn't say to catch him, so we wait for now," Jeffrey shrugged, "He can't run forever!"
