Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 82

After venting his anger, he asked his men to trace Serene’s past movements.

He’d give it to her for her careful planning. She even thought of getting their children out of the school’s roll. Justin watched the surveillance videos his team put together. It showed Serene and her children leaving her apartment in the morning. Then the different times the city’s surveillance captured images of the car she’s driving at every traffic light she stopped.

He watched her and the twins enter a hotel. Then at half past 3, he saw her leave the hotel. He sneered as he zoomed at the image. At first glance, the woman and the children looked like Serene and the twins, but he knew better. The body build, height, even the outfits were the same. It’s easy to pass them as Serene and the twins if you did not pay close attention.

His jaws clenched. She used such an amateur trick on him. He could not believe that his men continued to play victim on these kinds of tricks repeatedly. He paid them too much, and they just kept on falling into the traps she laid out.

Two years ago, she lured her men by showing herself and their children shopping and dining in New York. But it was only a diversion. While they turned the whole state upside down, she had safely returned to Coast City, and established a gallery. Top it off with the fact that she hid under his nose by doing business in Hyacinth Bay and even owning a property. Had it not been for the painting, he wouldn’t get a clue that she’s in the country.

He’s about to turn Coast City upside down when Fate delivered them to him, through none other than Crystal. Who would have imagined because of Crystal’s support for Mary’s clothing line and her admiration of Felicity Pax, his and Serene’s paths would cross?

Crystal. He sighed. She’s another complication he’d have to deal with. He’ll take care of her later. What’s more pressing is to lure Serene out. Now, she made them believe she went to New York only to go to god knows where.

The demanding ringing of his phone disturbed his thoughts.

“Speak,” he spat.

“Um… I’ll be fitting the dress tomorrow. Do-do you want to come?” Crystal stammered.

Justin did not speak for a while before saying, “OK” then hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, in a hotel suite in Hyacinth Bay, Al and his wife, Susie came in.

“Shen, how’s everything?” Al asked.

“Hi Susie, Al, they’re in New York now. Justin was in the airport earlier and saw her. So he knew I did not leave,” she explained, sounding frantic.
