She couldn’t remember anything about him, not even the slightest impression. But for some reason, the feeling he gave her was unpleasant, even strange. After all this time, she still couldn’t recall anything about him.

The next second, the stranger’s expression changed the moment he saw Aurora’s car drive off. He stepped aside and pulled out his phone, clearly about to call someone. Aurora raised an eyebrow. She hadn’t expected the person they sent to be this clueless. Just a few moments in, and he was already making a move. They hadn’t even done anything new on their end yet.

This guy really didn’t seem to have much going on upstairs. Aurora didn’t even bother to comment. Good. If this was the useless pawn they’d sent, then dealing with him would be a breeze. That thought made her feel much better. With arms crossed, she followed the stranger.

Before long, the call connected. After learning that the thugs had ended up in jail and hadn’t managed to capture anything, the person on the other end seemed to grow uneasy.

“Yeah, I saw everything clearly. Even the camera was confiscated by the police.”

Hearing that, Aurora quickly figured out what the other person had asked. It looked like they were getting nervous. That tail of the fox would probably show itself soon.

“Alright. Don’t worry. I’ll keep watching.”

After hanging up, the man let out a sigh of relief. He might be doing this for money, but the presence of the person on the other end was still way too intense. Every time he spoke with that person, it felt like walking the edge of death. So, if he could avoid calling, he would. Unless absolutely necessary, he had no intention of calling at all.

Now, he still had to keep watch outside the police station. If anything changed, he had to report it immediately. Aurora raised an eyebrow. With just those two sentences, she couldn’t really figure out much. Still, she didn’t want to leave the police station. She wasn’t sure why, but she had a feeling that person might show up at the station in person. Otherwise, how could he feel at ease?

Just as Aurora thought, Tessa was pacing back and forth at home, unable to sit still. She’d assumed that it was just a middle school girl – the men she sent should’ve taken care of it quickly. But clearly, things weren’t that simple. Those men were completely useless. And to make things worse, even the camera had been confiscated.

Now that she was in high school, Tessa had developed a general sense of how to handle things. She knew that the worst thing in a crisis was to panic. With that in mind, she forced herself to calm down. She began to seriously think through everyone she could turn to for help. If this got exposed, even without mentioning anything else, she’d have a hard time explaining things to Grace.

Tessa took a deep breath and stared at the floor. Her eyes suddenly sharpened. She thought of someone who could definitely help her.

“Right, how could I have forgotten about him?”

She slapped her forehead, determination written all over her face. It really felt like fate was helping her out. And just in time – he’d recently come back. What the Waltons couldn’t pull off didn’t mean that person couldn’t.
