Chapter 211


    “No worries now; everything’s been handled. Let’s scoot.” To avoid being pounced on by reporters at


    the gate, Jon thoughtfully took off his jacket and draped it over Astrid.


    Colton also whipped out his hat.


    Masked up, they slipped out of theplex under the watchful eyes of the press.


    Back home, Astrid found the little box sent to her by Teresa as she sat in front of herputer.


    In fact, she had already peeked inside the night it arrived.


    It contained Teresa’s diary and various small gifts prepared for different holidays. There was a hand–


    knit scarf, some handmade dolls, her drawings, etc.


    The diary detailed how she was initially captivated by Astrid’s magic and her journey thereafter.


    What caught Astrid off guard was that Teresa dreamed of having a son and a daughter with Astrid.


    And… Astrid found baby clothes knitted by Teresa in the box.


    She was gobsmacked!


    Having carefully read through the diary, she learned about Teresa’s near paralysis incident from the


    performance.


    In the months on set, she hade to consider the blushing girl as her friend.


    She couldn’t fathom the despair the young girl must have felt when she found out the man she wanted


    to marry had turned into a woman. The least she could do now was find out who was behind all this


    and avenge her.


    As for Fannie, she brought it upon herself and deserved no sympathy.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    After tidying up, Astrid booted up herputer and started digging into the name Fannie had given,


    Quincy.


    As expected, it was a pseudonym.


    There were countless people around the country with that name.


    Since it’s a pseudonym, even lodging and travel records were a no–go.


    Just a name wasn’t enough to narrow things down.


    Astrid propped her chin up and tapped her fingers on the desk, feeling that the name was eerily


    familiar. She must have heard it somewhere. After racking her brain for a long time, it still didn’t click.


    Feeling frustrated, she rested her head on the keyboard.


    A few secondster, she jolted upright!


    The dark web!!!


    Yes, she had seen this name on the dark web!


    Chad had previously bragged about taking on a job from an organization, and the agent’s name was


    Quincy!


    Although this Quincy may not be the one she was looking for, she’d rather risk false positives than miss


    out.


    As Astrid logged onto the dark web, she shot a message to Chad. “Chad, didn’t you say you took a job


    from an organization? Wasn’t the agent’s name Quincy?”


    A few secondster, Chad replied. “Yeah, what’s up?”


    “Send me his ID; I need to track him down.”


    Chad replied. “You better drop it, Chief. I swiped tens of millions from them; they’re gunning for us.


    You’re just asking for trouble.”


    Astrid replied. “Cut the crap and give me the ID. You think I can’t track him down on my own?”


    Chad had no response.


    -A few secondster, Chad sent a string of numbers.


    Astrid entered the numbers and zeroed in on Quincy.


    She sent a message. “Quincy, need to talk. Let’s meet up.”


    In the office, Elio was working when his phone, used formunicating with Quincy, rang.


    He picked it up, and Quincy’s flustered voice came through. “Boss, the head of that bully organization


    from the dark web reached out to me. Can I wipe him off the map?
