The expression on Blood Rose’s face told her companion that she was looking forward to the idea. “It’ll be fun.” The next morning.
She sought Farren for an update. “How is it? Did Jewel book a flight ticket?” He answered, “She didn’t. But I found a record of Alex’s name.”
The answer took her aback for a moment. She joined him in front of his laptop and looked at the results. The name Jean Louis lay next to Alex’s.
A faint smile was formed on her lips. “That’s her. She changed her name after she left the organization.” There was a glow in Farren’s eyes. “How did you figure that out?”
She explained, “Phantom told me about that. Otherwise, I couldn’t have found Jewel hiding in the clinic on my own.” He suggested, “I’m heading to the clinic to keep watch on them. I’ll remember to keep in touch with you.”
She calmly replied, “There’s no need to rush. The flight is taking off at ten. There’s even time for breakfast.”
He smiled. “Breakfast sounds good.”
Unlike Blood Rose and Farren’s steadiness, Olivia was worried about her friends. If she was in Jewel’s shoes, she would be less on edge. However, she was pregnant. Her friends decided that she was in no condition to provide them with aid.
Therefore, she could only stress her concerns. “Jewel, Alex, did you two put on the bulletproof vests? I don’t think they would be that reckless to open fire in public, but there’s no guarantee they wouldn’t take the risk when they’re cornered.”
Jewel nodded. “We did. Don’t worry about us.”
Olivia took out two bottles and handed them to Jewel. “These are bone-softening powder. Use these on them when needed.”
Jewel accepted the kind gesture with a smile.
“You’re well-prepared.”
Olivia saw no point in denying it. “I started making preparations since we planned on luring out the enemies.”
Eugene spoke up by reminding his friends, “Always beware of any stranger who approaches you, especially when you’re in the washroom, which is less crowded. It’s risky, but it helps us to rule out the enemies.”
Nodding, Jewel assured Eugene, “I understand.”
Alex chimed in, “Don’t worry about us. I’m not letting her out of my sight.” Eugene and Olivia offered a few reminders before releasing Alex and Jewel..
Eugene stayed behind to ensure his wife and children’s safety. However, he asked Shannon and Kyle to go with the pair.
Once the group left, Eugene and Olivia went to North’s room. Even though they didn’t go with Alex and Jewel, they backed the pair up in their base.
Since the plan was drawing the enemies out of their hideout, the trio was responsible for monitoring the changing condition in case the plan went south.
North sat in front of his laptop. His fingers skillfully inserted a few commands into it. Soon, he pulled up the monitoring images of the departure hall. They could see the departure hall from all angles.
Jewel and Alex arrived at the departure hall. The pair had been taking note of their surroundings in silence. They found their people among the crowd while some other people seemed suspicious to them.
Suddenly, Shannon’s voice came out from the earpiece. “Jewel, beware of the man in a blue suit on your front left. And there’s another girl in sportswear behind you. Both of them look suspicious. They have been observing you for quite some time.”
Jewel whispered, “All right.”
The duo went to check in at the counter. A voice came out of the earpiece again. It was Olivia this time. “The couple checking in at another counter seems suspicious too.”
Jewel glanced at the couple, who stood a few feet from her and Alex, and hummed an affirmative response. After getting their boarding passes, Jewel and Alex exchanged a look. Both of them headed to the washroom separately.
They were well aware that Blood Rose’s men were watching them. The enemies were waiting for an opening to strike. Jewel and Alex refused to wait any longer. Might as well create an opening for them.
At least it gives us the upper hand. Just when she was about to arrive at her destination, a man’s voice grabbed her attention. “Mavis! Stop it right there and turn around!”
Jewel turned around and glanced in the direction of the voice. A woman with a child in her arms was hurrying in Jewel’s direction. The woman kept casting a glance behind her, but she didn’t stop.
It seems like the man is talking to her.
Meanwhile, the man continued to throw insults at the woman. “How dare you disrespect me, Mavis? You took my son to run away with you! Just wait, you’ll regret not outrunning me.”
