Staring at Vickie coldly, Gregory was nevertheless unbothered with her prattle just now. He coolly said, “Let’s get in the car!”
Vickie giggled.
It was still the same old insouciant look. The only change was that her gaze had become a bit colder.
“Where are we going?”
Gregory kept silent.
The atmosphere between them became exceptionally quiet and strange right away. Even the chauffeur could not help feeling nervous for them.
After a while, his voice was finally heard as he said in a deep voice, “Why? Are you scared that I’ll make your life miserable?”
“Ha!”
As he finished speaking, Vickie’s cold laugh could be heard.
Without delay, he pulled the door open and got in the car.
The door was closed with a slam, and it was quiet in the car. The chauffeur looked pale, not knowing what these two enemies were trying to do.
The chauffeur could only cast a glance at Gregory through the rearview mirror in fear.
Opening his lips, Gregory ordered, “Head to Songshan.”
Upon hearing the instruction, the chauffeur promptly acknowledged and got the car started.
In the meantime, Jennie was watching the black Rolls Royce leave from her dorm upstairs. Her brow furrowed with unease.
Because Vickie had just returned, she found that it was quite strange for Vickie to go out at this time. Initially, she went to the balcony merely to dry her clothes, and she did not expect to see Vickie getting in the car.
When it came to those few years right after Vickie left the orphanage, Jennie was not familiar since Vickie had never told her.
Nevertheless, she could faintly sense that Vickie was doing something dangerous.
Therefore, when she suddenly learned that Vickie was involved in accidental killing and was sent to jail, her heart had been filled with sadness. Having said that, she was not very surprised about it, in fact.
It was not that she had not thought of finding out about Vickie’s experience and that case.
It was because the officials as well as Vickie herself were unwilling to reveal any more. She only got to know about the duration of Vickie’s sentence. Thus, she could not find out and had better not question further.
Now, she had just been released from jail, and apparently, had no one to rely on. However, a grand car just came and took her away just like that.
No one knew if anything would happen to her and who was in the car.
Personally speaking, Jennie actually hoped that Vickie would not embark on the previous path and get into the same old line of work after getting out of jail.
Jennie was not silly. She had grown up. No matter how cleverly Vickie was able to cover things up in the past, some things just failed to escape her notice at times.
Jennie probably knew what Vickie was doing. Because of this, she hoped that Vickie would wash her hands of it after getting out by learning from her mistake and avoid repeating it.
However, she now seemed to be connected with those kinds of people again.
Jennie clearly knew that she was neither in the position nor did she have the right to advise Vickie, but she was worried nevertheless.
At the thought of it, she could not help but let out a sigh. Anyhow, at this moment, she could not stop Vickie, so she could only wait for her to return.
As Jennie was thinking about it, she turned around and entered the house.
On the other hand, in the car...
The atmosphere was dull. The drive to Songshan from here took more than two hours.
