Two years ago, he and his wife had boarded the train to Istra with their young son, full of hope for a new life.
Now, two years later, he was returning home alone.
Yvonne and Sandra watched the car carrying Howard drive away. As they were about to leave, they unexpectedly ran into Bennett at the station.
He seemed to be seeing a friend off. He was standing with several other tall men, talking in low voices, and hadn't noticed Yvonne and Sandra.
But his aide, Simon, had sharp eyes. He spotted Yvonne at once and even gave her a friendly wave.
“Ms. Jones!”
Being called out, Yvonne could only smile in response. “Mr. James, what a coincidence.”
Hearing her name, Bennett looked up in Yvonne’s direction.
Yvonne thought he would ignore her, but to her surprise, after saying a few words to the men he was with, he strode towards her.
Bennett stopped in front of Yvonne, his gaze calm yet deep as it rested on her.
“This morning, during his transfer to prison, Oscar was in a serious car accident. His current whereabouts are unknown. The news is being kept under wraps for now,” Bennett said.
Yvonne looked at him in shock. “Was it an accident, or was it deliberate?”
Bennett replied, “I believe it was the latter.”
Although the news of Oscar’s escape hadn’t been made public yet, it was easy for someone in Bennett’s position to get inside information.
The vehicle that caused the accident had rammed straight into the police transport van without any sign of braking. The angle of impact was carefully chosen, hitting the side where the armed guard was sitting. Of the two escorting officers, one was seriously injured, and the other died on the spot.
After the crash, the vehicle quickly fled the scene, and Oscar vanished.
It was clearly a well-planned and premeditated prison break.
Oscar had been sentenced to death with a reprieve, meaning he would likely spend the rest of his life in prison. It was unlikely he would have accepted that fate.
For the next several weeks, Yvonne rarely went out except for necessary work engagements. Even when she did, she was surrounded by more than a dozen bodyguards.
There were even faint rumors online about a certain actress being a diva on set, with an ridiculously large entourage of bodyguards.
However, compared to her personal safety, Yvonne didn’t care about the online gossip.
At the end of the month, Yvonne had to attend a business gala.
Sandra had prepared a gown and jewelry for her in advance.
At Yvonne’s current level of fame, her outfits and jewelry for events were all sponsored by brands.
Tonight, she was wearing a black strapless gown, paired with a complete set of high-end luxury jewelry.
This jewelry brand was her newest endorsement, and the set she was wearing tonight was the brand’s new luxury collection, making its debut at this business gala.
