Lincoln turned around and glanced at him. "We also found it by accident. We can't find any specific information."
It was also their first time finding out that Derick would appear in such a rich district, and it was their first time coming here.
The car continued forward before stopping on the flat road.
"It should be this villa." Lincoln got out of the car and pointed to the villa next to him.
Everleigh looked at him carefully and her heart sank. "Where is he?"
"Wait a moment."
He took out his phone and called his men. It didn't take long for two people to come out from the other side. They were all dressed in suits and ties, but the military vibe about them was obvious.
"Where is he?"
"He went in and hasn't come out yet. We are waiting for him to leave."
Lincoln heard this and turned to look at her. The only thing she could do for the time being was to wait here.
Theodore and Everleigh looked at each other. "Then, we'll just wait since we're all here."
If they went in rashly, it would definitely alert the enemy.
It was better to sit and wait.
Three days passed just like this. Everleigh sat on a chair eating a sandwich. She sighed, "I didn't expect that I would take up a watchman's job."
"I told you earlier to go back and rest. I'll be fine here, but you just won't listen to me," Theodore said as he gave her a bottle of water.
She raised her head and looked at him. His eyes were full of fatigue. He hadn't slept much in the past three days. Sometimes, she was really afraid that he couldn't hold on any longer.
He noticed that she was staring at him, so he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Do you want to take a break?"
"There's no need for that. You see, they've all stayed here for three days without saying anything. It's inappropriate for us to keep sleeping." He glanced at the three people outside, as if it was a normal routine for them.
She looked in the direction following his voice. She felt a little sorry for the fact that the dark circles under the three men's eyes were much heavier.
"Ugh... I owe Christopher such a big favor." She knew that Christopher had been helping her unconditionally from the beginning.
She was really a little embarrassed.
Theodore was silent for a moment. "Christopher is a loyal friend. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped you all the while. I will repay the favor you owe him."
She chuckled and said, "You're still jealous, aren't you?"
"Not jealous. You're my woman. Of course, I can't let you bear all of it alone. That time when you and I had a misunderstanding, I know it was my fault."
"Let's not talk about the past anymore." She didn't want to talk about it at all. She dared not to look back and think about how she got through it.
Thinking of her life abroad, she even wanted to cry.
She didn't know how she got through it all. If it weren't for the two children supporting her, she wouldn't be able to hold on.
Seeing this, Theodore felt even more guilty. He knew how bad Everleigh's life was abroad. Every time he thought about it, he would hate himself. Why didn't he look for her? Why couldn't he let go of his own prejudice?
Before he could speak, Lincoln opened his mouth and whispered, "Miss Trevino, he's out."
Everleigh and Theodore quickly got out of the car and stood on one side, watching the situation inside the villa.
Derick had a cigarette dangling from his mouth. With stubble all over his face, he looked like a thug no matter how they looked at him.
Lincoln raised his hand high and waited for him to approach before he signaled his people to take action. The two people behind him rushed over and held Derick down.
