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. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

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 dozen of them, along with the help of her friend who worked in an agency, to find the right one. It happened that the landlord wanted to sell it urgently, and the price was favorable.

It was only about a ten–minute drive from their workplace.

into.

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 that I have to sell myself to you?” Maxius said amusingly

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. I 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 name flashed on her phone.

Mikayla picked it up. “Hello, Laicas.

“Mikayla, I have s

some clues here. You want to come over!” 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, let me know when you arrive, said Lucas

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

‘He found some clues, 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

There happened to be someone inside, seemingly sorting out the documents,

Lucas‘ office was messy, and Mikayla couldn’t find a place to sit

Lucas flashed Mikayla a wry smile and started rolling the blanket on the couch, inwardly cursing, “Damn it, I asked him to tidy up the office, but it’s still messy

Lucas kicked the person and snapped, “Go get some water.

The person retreated obediently. “Yes! Captain Grayston!”

Lucas stuffed the blanket into a cabinet and 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 set me up with one of them. We’re not yet married, Lucas answered while cleaning up. “You’ve been popular in Xosa recently. You better invite me when 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.
