Chapter 1660 Feed The Shark
Underneath the moonlight, Arielle and Vinson exchanged looks before piping up in unison, “Follow her!”
With that, they followed behind her silently. When they saw her heading toward the palace, there was a hint of sternness in their eyes. Nonetheless, they continued trailing behind her quietly.
Oblivious to the duo following behind her closely, Ira fell into deep thought. She told herself it would be her last mission, and she had decided to focus on being Arielle’s chauffeur after that.
Even though Arielle was suspicious of Ira’s identity previously, she gave her enough space. Although they were her employers, she and Vinson had never treated Ira differently. In other words, they were willing to share what they had with her. Consequently, the latter could finally feel a sense of security after risking her life throughout the years. In fact, she liked the peaceful life so much!
Shortly after, Ira stood somewhere not far away from the main entrance of the palace. After much hesitation, she finally advanced toward it, tightening her grip on the flash drive. Nevertheless, she had only moved a pace before someone grabbed her arm.
In a split second, there was a flicker of ferocity in her eyes. When she was about to retaliate, a familiar voice sounded. “Ira, who the h*ll are you? What’s your ulterior motive for approaching us?”
Ira was dumbstruck. Just as she was about to say something, the grip on her arm loosened. She turned around, only to find Arielle and Vinson looking intently at her.
Ira could not help feeling a sense of guilt. She had seemingly approached Arielle and Vinson after knowing they were closely acquainted with Lawrence. Hence, she was convinced he would not sense anything amiss and capture her when she was by their side. If so, she would be able to accomplish the mission assigned to her.
After giving herself away, Ira cast her eyes down and murmured in embarrassment, “I didn’t betray you.”
Deep down, Arielle heaved a sigh. If she had done so, didn’t she know she wouldn’t be standing right in front of us again?
Throwing a glance at the palace somewhere in front of them, Arielle asked, “Why are you here?”
Ira cast her eyes down. She did not plan to hand over the thing in her hand to them. As someone of her word, she vowed she would not leak anything on the mission assigned to her.
“I’m sorry I can’t tell you,” Ira responded resolutely.
Flashing her a meaningful look, Arielle cut the crap. “Leave now. You don’t have to go back to the condominium either.”
With that, she turned and left with Vinson.
Gazing at their retreating figures, Ira dismissed her initial idea to head for the palace and meet the person in charge. She trailed behind them silently instead.
Nobody uttered any words along the way.
Back in the condominium, Arielle and Vinson were about to head back to their room. Even so, Ira—to be precise, Lorraine, stood in their way.
Next, she removed her wig and makeup right in front of Arielle. The moment her original looks came into view, there was a change in Arielle’s countenance.
“Who are you? Why did you abduct Sonia?” She stared at the woman right in front of her coldly. My goodness! How could I let someone who abducted Sonia stay by my side?
Right after Arielle mentioned Sonia, Lorraine revealed her true identity to the former and elucidated, “I never intended to abduct her. It was merely an accident. My main aim was to retrieve the bag that she had wrongly taken. It’s never my intention to inflict any harm on her, but those foolish men we assigned had the gall to think of forcing themselves on her. Anyway, I’d thrown them into the sea to feed the shark.”
Arielle trusted her more when she recalled the findings from their previous investigation.
“The item in your hand now is very important to the queen mother, isn’t it?” she asked.
Lorraine’s eyes widened in an instant.
