Classes had ended. Roxanne parked her car by the side of the road.
After getting out of the car, she pulled herself together and quickly walked to the school gate to wait for the children to come out.
Parents arrived one after another.
Soon, Roxanne was drowned in the crowd.
Ophelia had been waiting at the corner of the street for a long time. After making sure that Roxanne could not see her, she tiptoed out quietly.
She continued observing the surroundings while approaching Roxanne's car furtively.
Besides wearing a hat and a mask, she even put on a pair of sunglasses in the evening.
Passersby could not help but cast curious glances at her.
Fortunately, everyone did not pay much attention to her as they were in a hurry to pick up their children.
Quickly, Ophelia stood right next to Roxanne's car.
She crouched by the car and ran her fingers through the tires as if she was checking her vehicle.
She then secretly took a small bottle of lubricant from her bag and reached for the disc brake of a wheel.
The disc brake was tucked away in a hidden spot, so Ophelia had to spend a lot of effort sticking the lubricant into the narrow space. At one point, she nearly had to lie on the ground.
Just as she was about to unscrew the cap of the lubricant and pour it on, she suddenly heard heavy footsteps approaching.
The sound of footsteps ceased as they reached her side.
Ophelia instantly froze right there, and her heart sank in dread.
Lucian's indifferent voice rang out from above her head. “Ms. Smith, are you busy with something?”
