My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 339

The connection was lost instantly, shocking the driver. He couldn’t say anything; he could only throw his phone on the side and start the car engine, preparing to leave the basement.

"What happened?" Lucas was confused when he saw the driver look panicked.

"Sir, someone exposed us. We have to leave this place, or the police will capture us too," the driver answered, hitting the gas pedal harder, avoiding the basement lobby, and heading to the exit route.

"What the hell! Who exposed us? Does anyone know about this plan? Did anyone betray us??!" Lucas asked; his tone was a mix between annoyed and feared. He checked behind them, relieved when he saw no car or person chasing them.

"Fuck! Fuck! I really don’t want to have anything to do with the police in this city. We don’t have any support here. This is not our city!" Henry shouted, panicking as he checked their surroundings. "Dad, we have to avoid this..."

Their car suddenly stopped before Lucas could say something to Henry, shocking them both.

"What the hell? Why you—" Lucas’s voice trailed off as he saw what was happening.

"Sir, I’m sorry, we’re caught too," the driver said as he turned off the car engine. He couldn’t move; two cars were blocking their way out, and a few police officers were standing there as if they were already waiting for them.

"Okay, calm down. We’re not doing anything wrong here. Tell them we just met my father. Don’t panic! And brush away that panic look from your face! Get it?"

Lucas warned the driver before he rolled down the window as two male police officers approached their car.

"Hello, officer. Good afternoon. Excuse me for asking, but why are you blocking our way? Is something happening in this building?" asked the driver politely, trying to maintain a calm expression.

"Afternoon, sir. I apologize for stopping you here. We need to check your vehicle. We have an incredible reason that your car is suspected of being involved in illegal drug transactions," the police said casually. Still, his words were enough to shock them all.

"Drugs? What the hell? Who is involved with drug transactions?" Henry couldn’t help but curse, visibly shocked.

Lucas immediately rolled down the window beside him to clarify with the police officer.

"Sir, that’s not true. We just came here to meet my father. He is one of the prominent residents of this building. He lives on the 15th floor; you may contact or talk to him now. He will support me—" Lucas said calmly, but his shaking tone couldn’t hide his anger.

The police officer glanced at Lucas and smiled.

"Sure, Sir. You shouldn’t be too worried. We are here not to make any unreasonable arrests. However, we need to check this car. Please, everyone, step out of the car to allow us to check the car thoroughly..."

While the police questioned Lucas and the others, Bella quietly exited the elevator. She walked quickly toward Bryan’s black SUV, parked near the basement lobby.

Bella knew Stefan wouldn’t quickly send the police to this place. She suspected Bryan, who had dropped her off here and must have known what happened downstairs while her father was talking to her grandpa upstairs.

"Bryan, were you the one who called the police to arrest them all?" she asked. After she sat in the back seat, her eyes stared at the police officers surrounding the car.

Bryan glanced at her in the rearview mirror.

"Well, Boss Tristan came up with a wild plan, ma’am..." Bryan wanted to say that, but he held back. He focused on driving out of the building and heading to Quantum Capital.

Bella texted, "Hubby, I know what you did. Thank you for your help (Love Emoji)."

After pressing the send button, she smiled and glanced out the window. The sun shone brightly at noon, and the sky looked clear, just as her mind felt. She was delighted to teach her father and brother a lesson.

She didn’t know how far this situation would involve her father, but she hoped he would leave the city soon.

It didn’t take long; her cell phone vibrated. She saw Tristan reply to her text.

[Tristan] What? Oh, Bryan must have told you about what I did, huh? It’s my duty to protect my pretty wife. No need to say thank you, my dear... (Kiss Emoji) (Grinning Emoji)

[Tristan] So, where are you now?

[Bella] Heading to my office. I will arrive in a few minutes. I’ll call you.

[Tristan] I look forward to hearing your lovely voice, darling.
