Chapter 437
The sea breeze caressed Vickyâs cheek. Jackie glanced at the time while he tried to call Harvey, but his
phone was unreachable.
Vicky stood next to Jackie and asked, âWhatâs wrong? Did something happen?â
Jackie shook his head thoughtfully. âI donât know. Mister Sparksâ phone is turned off.â
Half an hour had passed since they arranged a time to meet up, but none of them heard anything from
Harvey, which was an ominous sign that implied Harvey might be in trouble.
10 minutes later, Jackie made one final phone call to Harvey and finally made a decision. âMiss Shaw,
something mightâve happened to Mister Sparks. We shouldnât be out in the open, or others might find
us. Letâs go back for now. Weâll have to wait until I reach Mister Sparks.â
She nodded. âSure.â
To prevent having their hideout spot discovered, Jackie sent her to another apartment and once she
was there, he said, âMiss Shaw, I might have to disappear for a while to search for Mister Sparks. You
ââ
She nodded. âGo ahead. Donât worry about me. I wonât leave the room or open the door for anyone.â
Jackie could not help but stare at her.
Though Vicky was also from a wealthy family, she did not seem to fit into the typical stereotype of a
high-status young woman.
Both Alexander and Jackie thought that Vicky was a much better match for Harvey in comparison to
Gloria.
Perhaps it was because Gloria was frequently exposed to arts like music, she was sensitive and
sentimental, so she would often feel hurt by just a few words others said. However, Gloria simply
occupied a place in Harveyâs heart, and even when Vicky was engaged to him, Gloriaâs importance to
him remained unparalleled.
âMiss Shaw, if anything happens, just call me. I wonât be gone for too long,â Jackie said.
âSure.â
Jackie left.
However, shortly after that, a group of people snuck up to the apartment. The head of the group asked,
âAre you sure this is the place?â
One of the thugs whispered in response, âEaston, this has to be it. Harveyâs right-hand man, Jackie,
was seen leaving this apartment! You were the one who said that you saw Harvey buying a bracelet
the day before yesterday, right? Weâre definitely right.â
The group was a gang of local thugs who had a grudge against Harvey in the past.
They did not have the chance to resume their activities until after Harvey was imprisoned, but time
changed and despite their previous success in Stoneford City, the gang was barely surviving in a much
smaller city in the present.
Whenever Easton thought about their former glory, he would curse at Harvey in resentment.
One day, he received an update about spotting Harvey at a jewelry store.
Harveyâs portrait was seen in Eastonâs house, and he would curse at the portrait every single day, so all
his subordinates recognized Harveyâs face.
Thugs were often quick on their feet and managed to spot Harvey despite his disguise. Since the gang
had been in Jencity for years and had countless connections, Harvey had not noticed he was being
followed.
âHa! I didnât expect him to get out of prison so soon. I didnât even hear about itâ¦â Easton sneered
viciously. âIf this is the case, we should make sure he receives a grand welcome.â He glanced at his
men and said, âIt shouldnât be difficult to capture his little lover.â
One of his men smiled fawningly. âDonât worry, Easton. Jencity is our territory, and itâs a piece of cake to
kidnap a woman. Just go back and rest.
I guarantee you that Iâll have the woman delivered to you within an hour.â
Easton nodded with contentment and left.
Knock, knock!
When Vicky heard knocking on her door, she frowned.
