Chapter 1486


    “Ms. Mosley, you’re here!” Several bodyguards rushed over to Bianca. Chris had sent them to


    apany her.


    Since this area was in the mountains, Chris wanted to ensure Bianca’s safety, even if he didn’t hold her


    in high regard. When the Hamerton bodyguards arrived, he assigned most of them to follow her.


    “Ms. Mosley, it’s gettingte. Let’s head back quickly!”

    “Hey!” Bianca stopped them.


    They paused and exchanged nces, awaiting her instructions.


    “Although it’s gettingte, I need to take a few more photos,” Bianca exined.


    “Ms. Mosley, what else do you need photos of? We’ll apany you.”


    “Do you have a car?”


    The bodyguards pointed to the car parked on the road outside the school.


    “Alright, I want to go to the other side of the mountain to take some photos. Drive me there.”


    –


    Night had fallen, and the mountain road was treacherous. The driver remained intensely focused,


    controlling the speed as they moved forward.


    “Are you following closely?” Bianca fiddled with her phone and tossed it onto the seat in frustration


    when she couldn’t get a signal.


    “We’ve been keeping a close eye,” the driver replied, “Ms. Mosley, these mountain roads aren’t suitable


    for driving. Walking might be faster. That boy is much faster than us…”


    “Quiet!” Bianca red at him. “Stay vignt! If you lose him, you’ll have to answer to me!”


    “Yes, yes!” The driver forced a smile. “But Ms. Mosley, should I turn on the car lights? It’s really


    dangerous this way…”


    “If we use the lights, he’ll notice us!”


    “Without lights, we have to keep a considerable distance!”


    “Enough!”


    Suddenly, they hit a bump, and Bianca nearly fell off her seat.


    They finally reached the neighboring vige close to 10:00 p.m.


    The bodyguards, all big and imposing, had pale faces. The mountain road was dangerous, and Bianca


    had forbidden them from using the car lights. They were unfamiliar with the terrain, and a mishap could


    lead to disaster.


    The vige was in total darkness, but luckily, the moonlight was strong.


    Bianca stepped out of the car, with the bodyguards following suit. She searched for Alexander’s trail


    and forced the bodyguards to assist her.


    “Ms. Mosley, that boy seems to have gone in this direction,” one of the bodyguards whispered. “I


    caught a glimpse of a shadow.”


    Without a word, Bianca sprinted in that direction.


    The vige was eerily silent, and the mountains appeared even more menacing in the dark night.


    Bianca tred lightly on the vige’s narrow path, surveying her surroundings. She felt her heart racing,


    uncertain why she had put her life on the line for this pursuit. Nheless, the uneasy feeling in her


    heart persisted until she uncovered the boy’s origin.


    Suddenly, a roar reverberated throughout the vige, sending shivers down spines in the dead of night.


    “Are you heading to the city now that you’ve grown up? You’re too good for your old man, huh?!”


    Bianca’s heart constricted, and she hurried toward the source of the voice.


    It was a modest, thatched-roof house with half its tiles missing, reced by straw. Half of the courtyard


    wall had also crumbled.


    In the pitch-ck night, it looked deste. Bianca wouldn’t have believed anyone lived there if not for


    themotion from within.


    “Speak! Answer me!” The furious shouting persisted. “Are you mute? I’m asking you a question!”


    A dimly swayingmp cast a dirty, half-shadowed glow on the scene.


    Bianca squinted and identified Alexander standing at the entrance of the small house.
