Levi was rendered speechless by Zoey’s question.
He could hardly imagine how it felt to have his own parents.
Even his adoptive parents treated him like an outsider and had never shown him love.
Nonetheless, he felt moved on the inside when he heard about his parents, although he refused to admit it.
“I… I don’t know…” Levi answered.
“Just listen to me and go home. They’re your family, after all,” Zoey said with a smile.
“Maybe they’ll come to me before I go home.”
Levi knew that the deadline given by Elijah was only days away.
The Jones family must be extremely anxious about it, so they would surely come looking for him.
But Zoey misunderstood him and said in surprise, “Is your grandpa coming to pick you up himself? He’s so good to you. The head of such a prominent family is coming to bring you back home himself. He must be sincere then.”
I guess Michael truly loves Levi, and that’s why he’s coming to take Levi home himself.
I feel envious.
In the afternoon, Michael and his people arrived in South City.
Thinking of Grover’s advice, Michael kept a low profile and discreetly checked in to the Sapphire Villa in South City.
“Well, I’m here in South City already. Bring him to the hotel to see me. As the head of a royal family, I’ll never go to him myself!” Michael made a fuss and tried to lord it over Levi.
Suddenly, someone shouted, “Oh no, Mia ran away!”
“What? Mia ran away? Why didn’t you watch over her? Hurry, find her now!” Michael yelled angrily.
I’ll be in trouble if she goes missing.
Who am I going to present to Elijah if both Mia and Levi are gone?
The Joneses started looking around for Mia.
Meanwhile, in Levi’s office.
“Mr. Garrison, someone is here to meet you,” Seth said over the phone.
“Is it an old man?”
“No, it’s a girl, She’s as beautiful as Ms. Lopez.”
Seth’s words made Levi felt curious.
Why does the girl want to see me?
When Levi came to the hall, he saw an unfamiliar face.
The girl seemed quiet and sweet, and she carried a vibe like that of a girl from a respectable family.
“Are you looking for me?” Levi asked.
“Are you Levi?” Mia asked him with a surprised look.
“Yes, it’s me. Who are you?”
“I’m your cousin, Mia Jones. Levi, hurry and run away now! Grandpa and uncle want to take you back to our family, only to make you take the fall and go to jail on their behalf. And you’ll probably die in there,” Mia said anxiously.
Levi was stunned at her words.
Why would someone from the Jones family come to warn me that I’m in danger?
A warm and fuzzy feelings overflowed in Levi’s heart.
Other than his military partners and Zoey, no one had ever cared about him.
Then Mia went on to tell Levi every detail about the Joneses’ scheme.
“Levi, run now, or else it’ll be too late,” Mia urged him.
She’s kind-hearted, and she couldn’t bear to see Levi become a scapegoat, so she came to warn him.
“Are you the other one?” Levi asked.
“Yes,” Mia lowered her head.
“Alright. I’m here now, so no one can send you to jail,” Levi declared.
I’ll save this girl since she came all the way to warn me.
“What? Stop kidding, Levi. I’ve been chosen, so I have no choice.”
Just then, a large group of men ran over to them.
“Mia, what are you doing? Why did you look for Levi? Did you tell him everything?”
The man leading the group raised his hand, wanting to slap Mia’s face.
