Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1770

Chapter 1770: She’s their problem now

When Cassandra and Grace reached the parking space, they spotted a man idling around Grace’s car. He seemed to be inspecting something around the vehicle, making Cassandra slow down.

"Uh..." Cassandra walked closer to Grace, her eyes on the man. "Attorney, who is he? Do you know him?"

Grace glanced at her but didn’t answer until she reached her vehicle. The man was already facing them, his eyes darting between them quietly.

"I didn’t know you guys were still here," Grace said to the guy. "Do you guys sleep? Or does Penny just work you all to death?"

Cassandra furrowed her brows and glanced at Grace. "Penny?"

"Yeah. He’s one of the guys Penny sent for my security," Grace casually replied, eyeing the man, Mylo. "He’s kinda weird, but she trusts him."

Grace cleared her throat and addressed Mylo. "We’re leaving. Don’t you dare stop us."

Without a word, Mylo reached for the backseat door and opened it for them. He stepped to the side, his eyes on the women.

"I’ll drive," he said flatly. "The road isn’t safe at the moment."

Grace didn’t dwell on it much as she raised an eyebrow briefly before sliding into the backseat. Cassandra hesitated, but followed. Once both women were inside, Mylo casually walked around the car and climbed into the driver’s seat.

With that, the three of them drove off toward the orphanage to ask some questions.

Grace glanced at the side of the road, furrowing her brows. They had been on the road for about twenty minutes, but now she noticed Mylo was taking a different route. Cassandra had already told him the address, which was near the orphanage.

"There’s quite a bit of traffic at this hour," Grace muttered, checking her wristwatch. "That’s unusual."

Cassandra also stared out her window and hummed. "Yeah, that’s a bit odd. Is there an accident?"

"There was a chase earlier," Mylo answered. "So, the main road’s been sealed off for now."

"A chase?" Cassandra shifted her gaze to the driver’s seat. Even Grace looked at the rearview mirror, where she could see Mylo’s eyes focused on the road.

"There was an abduction, and it led to a chase," he explained without looking at them. "They used the main road and the highway, so there’s still traffic."

"Gosh..." Cassandra whispered, shaking her head. "That’s... horrible."

Grace nodded but didn’t think much of it. "It’s been a while since something like that made the news."

Curious, Grace pulled up her phone and searched for news about the chase. With how slowly they were moving, even though they were on a different route, there were still plenty of cars on the same road. They were barely moving at all, which was frustrating. The only silver lining was that they were moving at least, not completely stuck.

Seeing her, Cassandra also pulled up her phone to check the cause of the traffic.

After a few minutes, both their brows knitted together.

"Are you joking with me?" Grace deadpanned, eyes on the driver’s seat. "There’s no news about any chase."

"I thought I was just searching for the wrong thing," Cassandra said, since she hadn’t seen anything either. At least, there was nothing from the biggest media sites.

[There’s an emergency, so I’m flying out tonight. I’m sorry, but I will be home as soon as possible.]
