Chapter 1701
It was morning when we arrived in Mesville. ck vehicles were shuttling through the bustling streets
I looked out of the window at the changing scene in front of me. I had no idea where I was now.
A second ago, I was still in the center of the city, with high-rise buildings all around me. Then, all of a sudden, we were taking a small path.
After more than an hour, I finally realized that we were deliberately moving in circles.
Did they think that I had a photographic memory?
I turned around and asked the woman next to me, "Where on earth are we going?"
The woman pursed her red lips, and her voice was still mysterious. "I''m taking you to your son, of course.”
"But we''ve been moving in circles?"
"Miss Reid, or maybe I should address you as Mrs. Roberts instead? You know better than us how difficult Hendrix is. We have to get him off our trail,
just in case.” The woman said frankly and confidently.
"Am I not your target?" I frowned. I suddenly had a bad feeling.
The woman raised her hand and waved her index finger. "No, no, no. Not just you. You alone are not worth that much of our time and effort..."
Even though she didn''t finish her sentence, I could roughly guess what she was trying to say.
Hendrix had crossed the border and had allowed the Roberts Group to reach their current position. He''d offended quite a few people. This matter
would most likely have something to do with him.
After the woman finished speaking, her eyes, made more striking with her dark eyeliner, kept gazing at me as if she was searching for something
Why did she think that I would be afraid?
I''d been with Hendrix for a long time, so I''d learned a thing or two about seeing through people.
I looked up-and stared into her eyes.
Then I sneered and said witha =~
rxed but sarcastic tone, "I didn''t
know that Hendrix is such a big
threat to you. What about Irvin?
What did you guys want from him?"
I desperately want to figure out what position Irvin was in now.
I didn''t know what his history with this woman here could be, but it must''ve had something to do with him being led to Mesville.
If that was the case, I didn''t dare to imagine what was going to happen.
However, I had to find Irvin to be able to prove it. I didn''t want to specte that I had once again brought bad luck to Irvin.
At the mention of Irvin''s name, the woman raised her eyebrows and said, "Him? He is nothing important. What? Are you risking your life for Irvin?"
Since they have investigated me, what happened between Irvin and me was not a secret. It wasn''t surprising that she would try to use this to get on
my nerves.
"I just want to know where he is."
The WOMaiN''s face suddenly turned
indifferent; and her voice became
cold aswell. "You can''t even protect
yourself anymore. You''d better take
care-of yourself first. I''m notthere to
Clear your doubts." Content. belongs

Then she turned away and ignored me.
When the car passed thest crossroad, the woman ordered the driver, "Stop here. I want to go home."Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.

through ￠ several farms, and finally
reached an uninhabited areawithout

We were surrounded by boundless darkness, and the dark clouds blocked the moonlight. The night was like a wild beast with its fangs open, ready to
pounce on us at any time.
The bad feeling I had at the beginning was getting even worse. These people had taken away both my child and me, so there was no reason for them
to reveal their motives so easily.
Finally, the car drove out of the uninhabited area and slowed down.
It meant that we were not far from our destination.
Soan, the driver parked the car in front of an old castle.
