Chapter 987

“We’re running low on fuel.”

Millie’s hands clenched into fists, her mind racing. What would they do when the car ran out of gas?

Reaching a hidden intersection, Bruce made a sudden decision, wrenching the steering wheel and

veering off the road.

He knew that sometimes, the most dangerous place could be the safest.

Millie’s eyes widened as they drove into a vast expanse of flat land, dotted with majestic buildings.

“What is this place?”

“Stop asking questions. Get out of the car and follow me.” Bruce brought the car to a halt.

The moment Millie stepped out of the vehicle, Bruce grabbed her phone and hurled it into the nearby

lake.

Millie’s eyes widened in shock.

“What are you doing?”

Leading Millie through concealed foliage, Bruce explained, “Your phone could have been tracked.

When we get back, I’ll replace it with a new one.”

In truth, they were now on Bruce’s turf, and he couldn’t afford to let Marcus discover this place.

After some time, they reached a building, and Bruce guided Millie inside.

Opening a door, he pulled her in and quickly locked it behind them.

Almost immediately, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps and hushed voices outside. It was not

just one individual, but a group.

“Have you seen Sir Bruce?”

“No.”

“It’s odd. I saw him and Millie heading this way just now. Where could they have gone?”

“Keep searching. They must be nearby.”

“Master has ordered that we catch Millie today. Sir Bruce hiding her won’t stop us.”

With her back leaning against the door, Millie’s heart raced. She now realized these people were after

her.

She had initially assumed they were Bruce’s adversaries, but hearing them refer to him as “Sir Bruce,”

she understood they were his men.

That explained why he seemed so familiar with the surroundings.

“Why did you detain me?” Millie demanded, her voice barely above a whisper, her eyes narrowed as

she moved away from Bruce.
