A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 443

An Amateur Move

Amber POV

Jason had always been good at finding people who didn’t want to be found. The contacts he had acquired through Cronos gave him access to information networks that most people didn’t even know existed. With Mr. White and the Wyatts still at large, he had been using every connection available to track their

movements.

I was in the castle’s private study when he finally found something worth our attention. Noah and Daniel were seated on the sofa, while Jasmine stood behind them, clearly annoyed that Jason had refused to let her join the investigation.

Jason turned his laptop toward me. “We have a sighting of Adrian’s father.”

I stared at him. “Where?”

“At a supermarket in a lower-income school district. He was seen there recently, and the location matches the last information we received about the Wyatts.”

For a moment, I simply looked at him.

“Adrian’s father?” I repeated. “The same man who knows we’re looking for him? The man who knows Mr. White is internationally wanted, and that the Wyatts are under investigation?”

Jason nodded.

I let out a disbelieving laugh. “He actually dared to walk around in public?”

“Apparently.”

“Does he think we’re incompetent, or has he simply lost his mind?”

“Amber,” Jason said patiently, “look at the footage first.”

He opened a video file and turned the screen toward me.

The supermarket’s security camera showed a man dressed in an ordinary dark jacket, a cap pulled low over his head, a mask covering the lower half of his face, and glasses that concealed much of his appearance. He moved through the store without drawing attention, keeping his head lowered and avoiding prolonged contact with anyone around him.

I leaned closer to the screen.

“He covered himself completely.”

“Almost completely,” Jason corrected.

The video continued. The man approached the checkout, placed a few items on the counter, and pulled a

debit card from his wallet. The cashier scanned the items, and the man paid without hesitation.

Jason paused the footage and enlarged the image of the payment terminal.

My eyes widened.

“You’re joking.”

“I wish I were.

The transaction record was clear enough. The debit card was registered under Adrian’s father’s name.

I stared at the screen, then slowly turned toward Jason.

“He went into a public supermarket while hiding from the authorities, covered his face so thoroughly that nobody could identify him, and then paid with a card bearing his own name?”

“That’s correct.”

I pressed my fingers against my forehead. “That is an amateur mistake.”

“An unusually careless one for someone who has spent years hiding his activities behind other people.”

“Did he really believe that covering his face would somehow make his financial records invisible?”

Jason’s mouth twitched. “Perhaps he wasn’t expecting anyone to check the transaction.”

“Then he shouldn’t have left the house.”

Daniel chuckled from the sofa, but Noah remained focused on the footage.

“There’s more,” Jason said.

He resumed the video.

The man left the checkout area and walked toward the side of the store, where he stopped beside a refrigerated drinks section. He glanced around before purchasing a bottle of water. Then, apparently believing nobody was paying attention, he pulled down his mask and took several long drinks.

The camera captured his face clearly.

Jason paused the footage.

I stared at the image. 1

For several seconds, I couldn’t speak. Then I leaned back in my chair and laughed in sheer disbelief.

“He took off his mask?”

“To drink water,” Jason confirmed.

“While standing beneath a security camera?”

“Yes.”

I looked at the ceiling as though asking the universe for an explanation. “I cannot believe this man. He’s hiding from an international investigation, and he practically introduced himself to the camera.”

“To be fair, he probably didn’t know that camera was there.”

“Jason, it’s a supermarket. There are cameras everywhere.”

“That would be my assumption too.”

I pointed at the frozen image. “And tre used his own debit card. I want to know who taught him to hide from the authorities, because apparently they skipped every important lesson”

This time, even Jason laughed.

Then his expression grew serious again. “The transaction gave us a confirmed identity, and the video establishes that he was physically present in the neighborhood. My contacts traced the supermarket’s location to a school district nearby.”

“Why would he go there?”

“That’s what we’re trying to find out.”

He brought up a map, marking the supermarket and a nearby school. The distance between them was less than a mile.

“Summer has just started,” he explained. “The school should be mostly empty, but we wanted someone to observe the grounds before drawing conclusions.”

Jasmine straightened. “You should send me.”

“No,” Jason answered immediately.

“Why not?”

“Because you’re too recognizable. If anyone connected to the Wyatts sees you, they’ll know we’re closing in.
