Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1762

The van was parked right in front of them.

And just like that, a police car rolled up.

There was an empty alley with no one around to call for help, yet somehow, the police car appeared.

These thoughts danced around in Alec’s mind, making him more certain than ever of his belief. Fiona seemed to have a guardian angel on her side; no matter what danger she faced, she always found a way to come out unscathed.

The next morning, Alec and Fiona made their way to Seabay High School together.

Harold drove them there himself. As they neared the school, he gave them a serious talk: "From here on, I'll be at the school gate ten minutes early. You two aren't to hang around outside the school, avoid the food stalls at the gate, and don't take food from classmates. Keep an eye out for anything suspicious, and remember to stay safe."

"Understood, Uncle."

Fiona and Alec stepped out of the car one by one. Alec’s expression turned serious. Clearly, from Mr. Aldridge’s reaction, something sketchy was brewing near the school.

"Let's get moving."

Fiona led the way. Alec stayed quiet, his eyes scanning the crowd with extra caution. There were noticeably more guards at the entrance of Seabay High School than the previous day, along with some undercover officers blending into the scene.

Others might miss it, but Alec, having been trained from a young age, could see the security setup clearly. It was like a tight net cast around the school to keep everyone inside safe.

"Fiona!"

Betty hurried over, eager to show off a little figurine she’d bought. But when she looked up, she spotted Alec trailing behind Fiona.

"Hey, Fiona, did you both come to school together? Are you guys related?" Betty asked, curiosity piqued.

"Kind of, he's my cousin."

"Cousin?"

Betty was taken aback. She and Fiona had been tight since their freshman orientation, and yet Fiona had never mentioned a cousin before.
