Chapter 2367
“Hey, has there ever been an ugly rich kid? Even if they’re a bit rough around the edges, a little sprucing up and they’re ready for prime time. Go check if there’s any cash on this card, but don’t you dare swipe it. If that pack of wolves tracks us down, we’re toast, got
it?
The boss’s gaze was steady and chilling, sending a shiver up the spine of his guy, who gave a jittery nod. “Sure thing, Boss. I wouldn’t dream of touching the cash. I know there’s a feast waiting for us if we stick with you. We’re gonna make bank!”
Pleased with the response, the Boss cracked a satisfied grin, “Glad you get it. Alright, you’re coming too.”
With a casual flick of his finger, he designated another member of the group to join Skinny, the nickname for the somewhat skinny man who didn’t dare show his displeasure openly.
It wasn’t until they were aboard the town-bound bus that Skinny spat out in disgust, “Pah! Thinks he’s the king of the castle, ordering me around. Back in my heyday, when I was a big shot, he was still wet behind the ears!”
However, the guy sitting next to him was a die-hard loyalist of the Boss. At Skinny’s words, he bristled, “Who are you badmouthing? Watch your mouth, buddy. Have you forgotten how the Boss scored us a sweet deal last time? Without that, you wouldn’t have two pennies to rub together for a steak dinner!”
Cornered, Skinny was quick to plaster on an apologetic smile, “I was just blowing off steam, man. No hard feelings! We’re all in the same boat here, right? Why get so worked up over it? I’m all for the Boss too. Without him, how could we brothers be living it up like we are now, eh?”
The loyalist’s face remained stern. The Boss had sent him specifically to keep an eye on Skinny, to ensure he didn’t get any ideas about dipping into the bank account and risk being tracked down to their hideout.
He let it go but made a mental note to settle scores later, “Good.”
Once the loyalist closed his eyes to rest, Skinny rolled his eyes.
These guys really didn’t respect him. There was a time when he roamed the streets, feared and respected. Now, that respect was a distant memory. But he’d have his moment again, he was sure of it. They’d all come crawling back to him eventually.
Balfour had calmed Victoria down after their talk, and she had stopped crying, much to
his relief.
“Do you know where we are?” Victoria asked, her voice still shaky.

Balfour hesitated to give her the harsh truth but was bound to honesty. “We could be in some village, but after being on the road for so long, I can’t pinpoint our exact location.”
The school Balfour and Victoria attended was the most prestigious private institution in the area, and it was a mystery how they had ended up on such a bumpy path.
Balfour was clueless, and Victoria even more so. Her heart had been racing, fear nearly knocking her out, but she had held on through sheer willpower, let alone trying to figure out where the car had taken them.
