Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 56

After having Friyxian dishes. Mikayla and Maxius headed to the elevator, not noticing that someone was

watching them.

Mikayla didn't ask Josiah to wait, as she didn't know how long the meal would take. It was only after they left the

restaurant that she realized Maxius didn't have a car. Standing outside, the cold wind was blowing

Mikayla pulled her coat tighter. "Let's hail a cab Although she was fully bundled up, she couldn't withstand the

piercing wind.

Her breath was visible in the air as she spoke. These past few days had been the coldest days in Xosa

Maxius took off his coat and draped it over Mikayla. "I didn't know you're afraid of the

Abroad, there wouldn't be such cold weather as Xosa.

"I'm fine. You can have it back, said Mikayla

Maxius had stepped to the roadside and waved down a cab. But because it was the peak hour for dinner, the

road was crowded and jammed.

"Guess I'll need to apply to the company to allocate you a car," she said. The money she had was just enough to

buy a house for Maxius.

Thank you, Ms. Salvatore?" Maxius smiled and didn't refuse. Having a car for commuting would indeed be much

more convenient and save a lot of time.

They finally managed to get a cab and arrived at Watermill Cove. It was a high-end residential area in Xosa. In

recent years, the prices of the houses downtown had soared and been in great demand. Quinnlyn had to visit a

They opened the door and entered a well-decorated two-bedroom condominium. It was simple, elegant, and

ready to move in

"Is it satisfactory Mikayla looked around, impressed 'Quinnlyn has a good eye.

"It's nice! How much is it? I'll pay you back when I've made enough money, Maxius took the key from Mikayla

t." she said.

"If you work well for ine. I'll consider this house as my down payment,"

Maxius was an orphan. He had relied on scholarships and his own earnings to get through school. As a fresh

graduate, he naturally couldn't compare with Mikayla, who hailed from an affluent background. "Does this mean

Mikayla chuckled. "Pretty much! You're too excellent. I'm afraid that you would be poached by someone! I'll feel

I'll feel more at ease if you take the house." "You're a businessman indeed! You know how to get in on the ground

floor." Maxius' eyes shone brightly as he watched Mikayla's slender figure. "Of course!" Mikayla turned around,

and Maxius quickly shifted his gaze to one side without being noticed. "Are you moving in tomorrow?" "Yeah,"

Maxius replied.

"Do you need any help?" she asked.

"I don't have much stuff. | can do it myself!" Typically, men's belongings could be packed in just one suitcase.

They sat in the room for a while. It had been an hour later when they emerged from Watermill Cove. Maxius

hailed a cab to send Mikayla home. Across the road, a man in a car leaned out and captured all their

movements.

Sundays were days to sleep through for office workers. After getting up and having breakfast, Mikayla went back

to sleep indulgently. When she woke up again, it was already 2 p.m.

After washing up, Mikayla got dressed and went downstairs. "Where's Mrs. Ludwig?"

Sophia replied respectfully, "Mrs. Ludwig has gone out to play cards. She told us not to wake you up before she

left."

"Okay!" Mikayla walked into the dining room and started eating.

Someone's nflashed on her phone.

Mikayla picked it up. "Hello, Laicas.

"Mikayla, | have s

sclues here. You want to cover!" said Lucas Grayston.

Lucas Grayston was Mikayla's high school classmate. After graduating from high school, he followed his father

and worked in a relevant department.

She had been in touch with her old friend since the car accident last time, hoping he could help her find out

something. Although Winona had exposed herself to her more than once, Mikayla suspected the existence of

other accompliers, as it was impossible for Winona to do such a thing alone. She wouldn't let off any of those

people.

She wouldn't be kind enough to spare those who wanted her dead.

"Sure! I'll be there in half an hour," said Mikayla.

"Okay, letknow when you arrive, said Lucas

Mikayla heard someone calling his non the other end, so she hung up

'He found sclues, huh? Mikayla thought and smiled

finishing the conversation.

When she got out, she hailed a cab instead of calling Josial. The road wasn't crowded at this time. She arrived at

Lucas workplace exactly hour later.

"Mikayla, you look more beautiful than when you were in school Lucas, dressed in his work clothes, led the way.

His skin had tanned a little after going through the mill of society and being constantly out in the field.

"Lucas, you're getting better at words since becoming a manager" She recalled that Lucas used to be the

representative of sports classes in school He hardly talked and was serious.

Lucas awkwardly scratched the back of his head and invited Mikayla into his

Lucas kicked the person and snapped, "Go get swater.

The person retreated obediently. "Yes! Captain Grayston!"

Lucas stuffed the blanket into a caband explained, "Sometimes, I'd spend the night in the office when it gets

late"

"You're probably not married then Mikayla sat on the freshly cleared couch.

"My family setup with one of them. We're not yet married, Lucas answered while cleaning up. "You've been

popular in Xosa recently. You better invitewhen you get married!" "I'll definitely let you know," said Mikayla

The man who had just left brought in two glasses of water and hurried out, not wanting to get bashed by Lucas

Twenty

ty minutes later, Lucas turned on the computer and asked Mikayla to move to his desk. "Here are two useful

videos. Take a look and see if you can identify who they are or think of anything"

The first video was only over three minutes. It was the surveillance footage on the road.

Although the footage was distant, Mikayla could tell that one of them was the driver who had run her over, and

the other was clearly the hired murderer. But because she could only see their backs, and they were all in black,

she couldn't even tell their gender.

The second video was longer; it was 20 minutes long and taken in the bank.

She saw the person waiting in the waiting area for about ten minutes before going to the counter, but again, she

could only see their backs.

From the two videos, the only thing Mikayla was certain of was that they weren't from the Salvatore family, as

their figure and height didn't match.
