Chapter 194: Chapter 195

North Town was a seaside town that was far away from Birmingham. The locals there were warm and welcoming, and the seafood there was of good quality and in short supply.

Most of the fishermen there were pleased with how they were doing and did not want to change, making it more unique. As a result, they tend to fish and sell seafood in specified months of the year and then take a break.

Also, the village remained in its most pristine condition for so many years. Mountains and scas stretched for hundreds of miles, all of which had never been exploited. When Anna was driving there, she noticed how beautiful the natural countryside was.

However, Anna was still yawning as she drove.

She stopped for lunch al a service station along the highway in the afternoon. If she’d known she’d never see a store again, she might have bought something to eat, Just as she was regrettingit, her stomach growled, Anna sighed dejectedly and muttered, “Please stop grunting, my friend! That grumpy designer will absolutely buy me a seafood dinner later on.”

Although he was a very good friend of Peace’s, he wanted to meet Anna in person. He said that he couldn’t judge the company’s value without meeting the boss herself. Also, Anna came here so soon because she wanted to meet this talented designer.

At that moment, Anna’s cell phone rang. After she glanced at the caller ID, she put it on speakerphone.

“Hey, Anna, my boss, where are you?” Peace asked teasingly. As she spoke, Anna could hear the noisy sound of a power drill drilling into the wall.

Anna turned down that voice and said, “Oh my God, are you at the office? It’s too noisy there. Can you find a quieter place to talk?”

“Well, this is really the quietest place here. We‘re running out of time; it’s nearly nightfall. Come on, it’s your own company!”

“I didn’t mean it like that! You know, the sound of the electric drill is giving me a headache.”

Then, Peace’s voice gradually became clearer. She said, “Okay, now I’m coming outside. Is it quiet enough? I’m telling you, I had to come here to watch them work. I came in a little late this morning, and I saw them talking and slacking off.”

“Thank you, mny talented designer.” Anna gripped the steering wheel tightly. The headlights were on, illuminating the long country lone in front of her.

“Where are you? How’s the road?”

“I just got off the highway half an hour ago. You know, this road is just too bumpy! I’m not even going as fast as I was walking...

Ah!!!”

Anna screamed, immediately slammed on the brakes, and made a sharp noise. Peace frowned furiously, took off her headphones, and asked, “Anna! Hey, are you still there? What’s going on?”

With a beep, Peace realized that their call had been disconnected.

Peace called Anna again, only to find that her phone had no signal. After realizing this, Peace’s face turned pale.

She had just screamed and hit the emergency brake. Could it be that Anna had a car accident? Peace thought.

Wayne stood in front of the wagon in the back of the truck, looked at the shipping list with a serious expression, and said, “You can’t make another mistake, you know? If that happens again, we will immediately choose a new supplier. Also, we’ve bought a batch of goods from another supplies, and they have already sent the stuff to Birmingham. If that goes wrong again, I will stop our contract and sue you.”

The store owner wiped his sweat and assured, “Sorry, we won’t make any mistakes this time. It happened last time because the driver forgot to turn on the refrigerator. He was afraid that we’ll blame him, so he didn’t dare to tellus. Don’t worry, it won’t happen again.”

Wayne folded the shipping list, handed it to Gabe, and said, “Okay, that’s it. I’d like you to keep an eye on them till the last shipment is made, please. I’m going back now.”

“What? You’re leaving? Are you sure you’re not staying here? It’s dark now, so you better not go back.”

“it’s okay.” Wayne straightened his cuffs without expression on his face, then got in his car and prepared to leave.

Wayne felt that the reason why his grandfather let him come here was that he wanted to punish him. He didn’t have to deal with this issue anymore because it wasn’t a major one. Plus, he didn’t want to stay there any longer, so he left Gabe there.

Wayne then drove into the coastal road. Soon after, his cell phone rang, which interrupted the symphony he was playing in the car.

Wayne frowned and answered.”Hello?”

“Wayne, where are you?”

Wayne glanced at the sign ahead and said, “Oh, I’m almost at the entrance of the highway, and I figure I’ll get to Birmingham by the early morning hours. What’s going on?”

Karl said eagerly, “Oh, no! Turn around quickly! Something’s happened to Anna.”

Wayne immediately slammed on the brakes. The sharp brakes made a shrill roar on the avenue, and the wheels crushed two long marks on the dark tarred road with white smoke.

Wayne immediately asked seriously, “What are you talking about? Where is she?”

“Oh, Wayne, this is too complicated to explain now. Anna was on the phone with Peace about an hour ago, but she suddenly hung up. Peace thinks she was in a car accident. I found out the location of her cell phone signal, and I’m sending it to you. Also, she’s in North Town, too. It’s a small town, so you might be able to find her soon.”

Wayne’s hands, which were on the steering wheel, were shaking a little, but his tone was extremely calm, “I see.“

He then got a text message.

Shortly after, the Land Rover, which had been parked quietly on the road, immediately started up. The car quickly turned around and sped off to the mountain road.

There was a round moon in the sky emitting a soft light.

Somewhere near a bar in Birmingham, Karl put down his phone, and then looked up at the woman in front of him and said, “Well, I’ve called him, and Wayne is on his way to find Anna. Do you have anything else to say?”

Peace was actually a little nervous. She stared at Karl for a moment, then smiled and said, “Oh! Thank you. If Wayne finds her, will you let me know? Okay, I’ll be off.”

An hour earlier, her phone call with Anna had been disconnected. She didn’t have Wayne’s cell phone number, and she was so panicked that she called Karl. By the time she tried to cancel the call, it was too late.

Karl answered her call immediately. At that moment, he sounded excited and seemed to have been waiting for her to call him for a long time.

Peace felt like a jerk at the time.

But, by then, Kartbad already answered the phone. Also, she looked through all her contacts on her phone, and found no one else could help her except Karl. So, she had to force herself to call him.

After leaving the bar, she walked along the street alone for a while. The streetlight cast a long shadow on her lonely figure. She sighed, clutching the bag of her Chanel purse in one hand, and wanted to punch hersell.

“Wow, hot chick!”

Some men were drinking on the street. They whistled at her and said some nasty words to her when they saw her.

“Oh, look at her ass. I’m sure i can get her.”

Peace was already in a bad mood. When she heard that, she immediately glared at them and said, “Dumbass! Go f**k yourself, losers! Do you think you can get me? You f*****g wish!”

Those men froze when they heard this. Then, they stood up angrily.

“Who are you talking to?” One of them asked.

“You! You stupid cunt!”

Peace felt so good while cursing. But, just at that moment, she suddenly felt her temples throbbing. Then, she started to drift off and felt dizzy.

Before she fainted, she was thinking, Oh no! why now?!
