"Great! I've been wanting to go out and have some fun!" Juliette exclaimed excitedly upon hearing Chris Shelby's suggestion.
Esther, however, asked worriedly, "Darling, aren't you afraid of that assassin from last night?"
The memory of the assassin still haunted Esther. The killer's disguise was so perfect that she had posed as her aunt without Esther noticing. If Chris Shelby hadn't seen through the disguise, the consequences would have been dire. Now, with the assassin still at large, Esther was concerned about going out.
Chris Shelby smiled and said, "It's fine! I plan to lure the snake out of its hole. Once the assassin shows herself, I can capture her."
Hearing this, Esther nodded. Since Chris Shelby had a plan, she decided to trust him.
Chris Shelby then drove Esther and the others away from the villa. Since Harold Jefferson had no plans for the day, Chris invited him along.
As they left the villa, a security guard at the gate flashed a strange smile.
East Coast University.
Chris Shelby parked the car at the entrance. With nothing else to do, he decided to take Esther and the others to explore East Coast University, which was located within East Coast City.
Harold Jefferson called his sister. Soon after, Marie came out of the school.
Marie saw Chris Shelby and asked happily, "Mr. Shelby, what brings you here today?"
Chris Shelby smiled and said, "We're out shopping and thought we'd visit you too. By the way, let me introduce you to my wife, Esther!"
Pointing to Esther, Chris continued. Esther smiled at Marie and said, "Hello, are you Harold Jefferson's sister? I'm Esther."
Harold Jefferson added, "She's also our company's boss."
Marie was surprised to learn that Esther was not only Chris Shelby's wife but also her brother's boss. She suddenly felt a mix of nervousness and inexplicable disappointment.
"Hello, I'm Marie," she said awkwardly.
Just then, Juliette stepped forward and said, "Hi, I'm Juliette!"
"Hello!" Marie responded.
After introducing themselves, Chris Shelby said with a smile, "Marie, why don't you show us around East Coast University?"
Marie nodded and replied, "Sure! Our school is hosting a basketball game today. How about we go watch it?"
Juliette excitedly shouted, "Yes! A basketball game sounds fun!"
Being someone who loved lively events, Juliette couldn't wait to join in on the excitement. They followed Marie to East Coast University's sports field.
