Chapter 337
Standing by the entrance of the washroom, Miller stopped and turned back. Staring at Elise who was leaving the restaurant, she silently made a phone call to Alexander.
Seeing that the call concerned Elise, he picked up the call almost immediately. “What is it?”
“Miss Sinclair is a little busybody,” Miller said in a sarcastic manner.
Recalling the incident where Janice left the hospital on her own accord, he quickly picked up what was going on. “If that’s not the case, how would you have a job to do?”
Hearing that, Miller was speechless. “My job is to protect Miss Sinclair from external harm. If she heads in the direction of trouble, accidents can happen. You can‘t blame me if that happens.”
At this moment, Alexander started tapping on his phone screen before typing out a few words calmly. ‘You‘ll get a commission.‘
“Deal.” Just like that, Miller hung up the phone and went after Elise. Before she left, she even paid the bill for Addison.
After crossing a street, Elise finally saw Johan leading Janice to a shady alley that no one would notice.
Slowing down her footsteps, she took a glance to check out what was going on, but the sound of a person struggling beat her to it.
Taking a close look, Elise noticed the presence of a few men in suits. They had Janice‘s hands and legs tied up and even had her mouth sealed. They were slowly dragging her to the other exit of the alley.
“What are you guys doing?! Let her go!” As it was a matter concerning life and death, Elise didn‘t hesitate to stand forward, hoping that her presence would scare the people.
Nonetheless, the men continued to drag Janice. Only Johan slowly turned back and gave Elise a suggestive smile as he quickened his footsteps.
Knowing that she did not stand a chance against these men, she quickly fished out her phone to call the police. “Hello, is this the police department? I‘m calling from the alley next to Xedd Business Center. I‘ve just witnessed a kidnapping case, so
please send help over!”
Amidst the call, a black SUV came from the opposite alley. Then, the few men shoved Janice into the car before closing the door and leaving the scene.
Immediately, Elise chased after the car, hoping to catch the car plate number. However, the black SUV had gone far by the time she reached the end of the alley. Needless to say, she didn‘t manage to see the car plate number.
Just as she was feeling troubled, a sharp sound of a car stopping could be heard. The next moment, the car stopped right before her with Miller in the driver‘s seat.
“Get in.” Miller was wearing a pair of shades as she sat in the driver‘s seat. She tipped up her chin toward the passenger‘s seat, telling Elise to get into the car.
Stumped, Elise quickly snapped out of it before walking past the back of the car and getting into it.
Miller‘s driving skills were not lacking behind that of Elise. In no time, they were already chasing after Johan‘s car on a flyover. To avoid letting the opponent notice that they had a tail, they could only hide among the cars.
After an hour, the SUV finally drove into an area that had a messy pathway. Despite having followed them closely, they still lost the SUV at a crossroad.
Left with no choice, the two ended up getting out of the car to ask pedestrians on the street before they continued their way on foot.
Finally, they found Johan‘s car in front of an old house. Just as they were closing in, the SUV was suddenly revved up and driven off.
By the time Miller and Elise ran to the entrance of the house, the car was missing from their sights after a turn. Obviously, they were not going to successfully chase them on foot.
“Forget it.” Catching a breath, Elise glanced at the door that was left ajar before saying, “Let‘s go in and take a look.”
