Chapter 330 Mandy noticed Allison across the park and her eyes lit up with surprise. "Is that you, Allison? What a nice surprise!" Allison chuckled softly. "I was just taking a stroll when I heard a kid crying. I cto see what was up, and it turns out Julia's mom is you!" "Did you bring my little Julia over?" Mandy's eyes were full of gratitude. "Thank you so much." Allison gave a warm smile. "Oh, it was nothing, really. Happy to help." "Julia, say thank you to Auntie Allison," Mandy encouraged her daughter with a smile.
Julia looked up at Allison with her big, bright eyes and chimed in her sweet voice, "Thank you, Auntie Allison." "Julia's such a sweetie." Allison bent down, gently ruffling Julia's hair, her eyes crinkling as she smiled. Mandy took Allison's hand. "I really appreciate your help today, Allison. How about dinner ontonight?" "No need," Allison replied, a gentle smile playing on her lips.
"Got plans tonight, Allison?" Mandy asked eagerly. "Or maybe another day? Just letknow when you're free." Allison waved it off. "Honestly, it's not necessary." Mandy was persistent, her enthusiasm hard to resist. After a few polite refusals, Allison finally gave in, feeling a bit awkward to keep saying no. "Well... alright. I've got things tonight, but how about next Saturday evening?" "Perfect," Mandy grinned. "It's a date then." Over in the States.
Lillian walked down the street, feeling that eerie sensation of being followed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe glanced back several times, but everyone looked pretty normal, even though something seemed off.
Her nerves were on edge, and her palms were sweaty with anxiety.
Just three nights ago...
She had met Shawn at a secluded villa. Not long after Shawn left, a bodyguard found a bug hidden under a plant in the living room.
Realizing her cover was blown, Lillian reached out to Chris and made a swift escape to the States under the cover of night.
Once she crossed borders, she had to sever ties with the Fisher family. Now, being on the outs with them she couldn't count on their protection anymore, nor could she keep the bodyguards they had assigned.
Luckily, a rather naive bodyguard had a soft spot for her. Picking up on his feelings, she brought him along when she fled.
"Bruce, I think someone's tailing us," Lillian whispered to the bodyguard at her side.
"Miss, don't worry. Whatever happens, I'll protect you with my life." Bruce was an imposing figure, standing at six-foot-one, with a muscular build that screamed strength. Before leaving the country, Lillian felt 1.n safe with him around. But now, it was different. Here she was, on the run in the States, with Joshua's people on her trail, and Chris too swamped with his own issues to help.
"Bruce, if the Fisher family sent people after us, you might not be et able to keepsafe," Lillian said, her voice trembling as she got into the car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe urged the driver, "Quick, get us back to the villa. We need to lay low for a while. The Fisher family might have found our tracks." The white sedan had just started moving when a black pickup truck rammed into them, bringing them to a screeching halt.
Bruce pulled out his gun. "Miss, get down!" Bullets started raining down immediately.
Lillian's legs turned to jelly as she crouched in the car, her whol@body we shaking with fear. Could this be it for her today? The gunfire was relentless, a terrifying cacophony of chaos.
The windows were shattered, and the air grew heavy with the metallic scent of blood. Lillian's voice was high-pitched with terror, "Bruce, are you hurt?"
"Miss, they have us outnumbered. We might not make it out today," Bruce replied, clutching the wound on his arm, his voice strained with pain.
