Beckham furrowed his brow and asked, âWho are those people following us?â
Cherise was startled and instinctively turned around, only to see several black luxury cars tailing their vehicle. Everyone in those cars was dressed like the man in black who had approached her earlier.
There were about five or six of these cars, relentlessly pursuing them.
Cherise was astounded. How did these people manage to catch up with us?
âCall Zac.â Beckham, being experienced and worldly, remained unfazed in such a situation. âZac is from Ziphon. He can quickly mobilize his subordinates and is familiar with the traffic here. I might not be able to shake off all these cars alone.â
Cherise pursed her lips and considered briefly. âWe donât have to call Zachary. I can try someone else.â
With that, she quickly pulled out her phone and dialed Jarviâs number.
Although Zachary had some influence in Ziphon, many people abandoned him when he was in a coma.
Now that he had just awakened, it might take him a while to gather a significant force.
On the other hand, Jarvi could.
âCherise, what can I do for you, my dear?â Jarvi was pleasantly surprised. âIs everything okay?â
âI need your help.â Cherise took a deep breath and informed Jarvi of their current location. and their situation.
âAll right, Iâll send someone over immediately.â Jarvi did not hesitate. âYou did the right thing by reaching out to me!â
Only then did Cherise feel relieved. âThank you, Mr. Aquino.â
âYou are Charisaâs daughter. Iâm more than happy to assist you with anything.â
Jarvi kept his promise.
Not long after Cherise hung up, many white cars surged onto the road, forming a barrier at the rear of Beckhamâs car.
The white cars instantly blocked the black cars that had been tailing Beckhamâs car. The men in black could only watch Beckhamâs car disappear into the distance. They were utterly powerless in their vehicles.
Their leader had no choice but to dial a number. âSir, we lost them.â
âYouâre all useless.â The man on the other end continued coldly, âYou canât even keep up with a woman. What good are you?â
The leader fell silent instantly. He wanted to explain, but the man on the other end lazily shook his head. âCome back. Youâre an embarrassment.â
The man in black could only remain silent.
After bidding farewell to Zachary and the members of the Quinnell family, Cherise packed her bags and boarded an early flight to Adania with her children.
Now that Zachary had woken up and he and Lyra had gotten married, Cherise felt she should return to Adania and resume her life. After all, she had not been working in the research institute for over half a month.
However, what Cherise didnât expect was that when their plane landed at the airport in Adania, she found herself exiting the airport alongside the mysterious man in black who had approached her the day before.
âCherise, we meet again.â The man in black still behaved courteously towards Cherise. âWhat a coincidence.â
Cherise repeated doubtfully, âCoincidence?â She did not believe it was a coincidence and felt that she was being followed.
âNo need to be so tense.â The man smiled slightly. âIâm in Adania on an errand for my master. It really is a coincidence.â
After saying that, the man smiled at Cherise. âIâll go ahead.â He walked away and disappeared.
