“No buts!” Caroline interrupted Sonia. Although her tone wasn’t harsh, it carried a sense of dominance that couldn’t be rejected. “Tell me your location, now, right away.”
Sonia was obviously stunned by her and reported her location.
“Please stay where you are and don’t move. My people will pick you up soon.” Caroline hung up the phone after giving her instructions. “She’s in the garden in the center of the park.”
Jeffrey, who had received the news through the eavesdropping device, immediately asked the driver, “How long until we reach the park?”
The chauffeur saw his anxious expression in the rearview mirror and silently increased the speed. “Young Master, about eight minutes.”
Jeffrey calculated in his head with a dark face. He was three minutes slower! According to the time difference, Caroline’s people might get there first.
Of course, Jeffrey could also ask for outside help like Caroline, such as getting Sonia’s phone number. If Sonia was really in love with him, he could make use of this to ask her out of the park…
However, if that was the case, it would increase the risk of him being exposed.
Jeffrey thought about it again and again, but in the end, he still decided to give it his all.
There were no surveillance cameras in the park, and the Hundred Flowers Garden occupied a large area. The roads were also set up in a winding manner. Even if Caroline’s people arrived at the park, they might not be able to find Sonia so quickly. He still had a chance!
He said to the driver, “If you can get to the park in five minutes, I’ll double your bonus this month.”
When the driver heard that he could increase the bonus, he immediately stepped on the accelerator to the maximum and the car flew away with a bang. Jeffrey, who was in the backseat, felt a heavy push on his back and had to grab the door handle to balance his body.
Finally, with the bonus, the driver stopped the car at the entrance of the park at four minutes and fifty-eight seconds.
Jeffrey stopped his dizzy head and was about to open the car door to get out when a car next to him suddenly stopped. Three tall and strong men got out of the car and walked into the park.
Jeffrey quickly withdrew his hand, opened the door, and waited for them to enter the park entrance. Then he quickly got out of the car and went in through a small side door. He chose another path, ready to bypass the three men and enter the park.
Compared to the three headless flies searching earlier, he was clearly much more familiar with the surrounding terrain. Judging from the photos and videos that Sonia had taken, the place she frequented most probably was a garden beside the center of the park.
During the art class, the art teacher had organized students to come here several times to sketch. Jeffrey learned from a cleaner that there was a small path here that would only take seven or eight minutes to reach the center of the park.
As long as he acted quickly, he should be able to find the girl before those people.
Jeffrey still hadn’t figured out how to deal with Sonia after finding her. He only knew one thing – he couldn’t let Sonia fall into Caroline’s hands.
If Caroline found out what he was doing, she might expose it and kick him out of Alexandria College. Jeffrey, who had pride in his bones, couldn’t accept this.
He looked at his watch as he lowered his head and hurried along. When the time was fixed at 6 minutes and 58 seconds, he finally saw the lake in the center of the park.
He had arrived ahead of time! ｂｅｄ𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘ｍ
Jeffrey relaxed, and the tension on his face dissipated. He was about to walk toward the garden when he turned around and saw two men in black walking toward the garden in a hurry.
His instincts told him that the two of them had the same goal as him. They were both looking for Sonia!
However, even though he had taken a shortcut, he was still one step slower than those people. How many people did Caroline send out?
It was said that the Anderson family’s young master valued his fiancée greatly. Before this, Jeffrey believed that the so-called ‘valued’ meant that he gave her enough dignity.
But now that he saw that Caroline could mobilize so many people from the Anderson family, he might have to re-evaluate Caroline’s weight and reconsider whether he should use Caroline to do things.
If he wasn’t careful, he could very well draw out Young Master Anderson’s vigilance.
Edwin Anderson was able to take over the Anderson family’s responsibilities at a young age and become a terrifying existence in the business world. Jeffrey didn’t think he was an idiot.
