Elisa pulled Rachel away, preventing her from confronting that person directly.
Pulling Rachel behind her, Elisa curved her lips into a never-changing polite smile.
“Mr. Carrerra, it's been a long time.”
It was none other than Mr. Carrerra.
Ever since he was driven out of the supermarket previously, Mr. Carrerra hadn't shown up for quite a while.
Perhaps it was because, amidst all the unexpected developments, there had never been an opportunity to meet.
Elisa was somewhat surprised to run into Mr. Carrerra out of the blue, but more than that, she was apprehensive.
Mr. Carrerra also smiled. The mysterious light twinkling in his eyes was enough to send chills down one's spine.
“Ms. Benett, there shouldn't be any police this time, right?”
Elisa knew that Mr. Carrerra was referring to the incident at the supermarket previously.
She didn't expect this person to hold a grudge.
Elisa chuckled, her response devoid of both humility and arrogance. “Mr. Carrerra, you must be jesting. If someone conducts themselves with integrity, why would the police persistently pursue them?”
Mr. Carrerra's face turned somewhat gloomy, and he stared at Elisa without uttering a word.
Rachel gave Elisa's hand a gentle squeeze, to which the latter responded by patting her back, silently conveying strength.
Elisa subtly moved half a step back, whispering so that only the two of them could hear, “Don't be frightened. When I divert his attention, seize the opportunity to escape.”
Rachel shook her head, her gaze resolute.
“No. What will you do if I leave?”
Elisa frowned. “Now is not the time for loyalty. If you manage to escape, you can still relay messages to Gareth. However, if both of us are apprehended, when will Gareth ever find out?”
