Sophia also turned on her phone’s flashlight and followed after Corinne. “Corinne, what should we do now?”
Corinne looked around. “We should look for anything suspicious that the culprit might’ve left behind.”
Sophia nodded, but she then felt hopeless after looking around the dark surroundings. “But this place is huge! How
are we going to finish searching in one night? Besides, the police had combed through the area this morning. I
don’t think we’re going to find anything…”
Corinne was starting to get annoyed at Sophia. ‘Didn’t she think of all that before she brought me here? God, she
should spend her time looking for clues instead of complaining!’
She ignored Sophia and bent down to rake through the debris to pick up something shiny. However, to her
disappointment, it was only a piece of broken metal. She threw it away and continued to look around.
That bending down movement took a lot out of her since she was pregnant. Feeling she was about to lose her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbalance, she quickly straightened up.
It was then she heard the sound of two men talking up ahead.
“Boss, the police have sealed off this area. It doesn’t matter what you dropped here; everything’s gone after the
explosion. We should just forget about it.”
“Quit your yapping and give me the flashlight!”
As the sound of footsteps got nearer, Corinne quickly pulled Sophia to hide behind a column, which had escaped
being blown apart by the explosion.
Sophia was shocked at being suddenly dragged away, but she quickly calmed down when she heard the two men
talking.
“Boss, I don’t think the flashlight is helping that much. We should just give up.”
“You can get lost if all you do is complain!”
“Fine, I’ll shut up.”
It was too dark to see what the two men looked like from where Corinne was hiding. Nonetheless, she could not
help but feel like she recognized their voices from somewhere.
Just when she was trying to recall, Sophia suddenly nudged her and asked in a whisper, “Corinne, do you think those
two men were the ones that killed Jeremy?”
Corinne gave her a sharp look to warn her to keep her mouth shut. It was too quiet in that area for them to speak
without getting caught.
Sophia quickly nodded and covered her mouth.
‘Those two men seem to have come here to look for something too,’ thought Corinne as she observed them from
her hiding spot. ‘I should tail them to see if they can lead me to a clue.’
However, her plan was dashed when the two men discovered them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe fatter of the two men suddenly said with alarm, “Look, Boss! There’s a red sports car parked there!”
The other man straightened himself up and pointed his flashlight at where the fat man was pointing. There was
indeed a red sports car parked ahead.
“Sh*t! Someone else is here, too! Find them now!”
“Yes, Boss!”
Thus, their mission changed from looking for something to looking for someone.
Corinne instinctively grabbed Sophia’s wrist when she saw the flashlight roving around to search for them. She was
prepared to run at a moment’s notice.
Sophia had forgotten to turn off her phone’s flashlight, causing the light to fall on her red sports car accidentally.
The reflection caught the attention of the fatso.
Corinne assumed that Sophia would be more cautious since she was not that young herself. Thus, she was annoyed
when she found out she was so reckless.
“Come out, come out, wherever you are!”
“Yeah, show yourself!”
