Chapter 195 Something’s Off
Finished
After ending the call, Moon pressed her lips together tightly, fingers clenched around her phone, as if absorbing every
word from the other end.
Whatever was said, it made her brow twitch.
Her eyes briefly filled with surprise and confusion. The corners of her mouth stiffened.
After a moment of silence, she hesitated, then spoke quietly. “You’re saying… you want me to accept his case, be his defense attorney?”
She’d already turned that guy down. Once she decided to step away from law, she didn’t take cases lightly.
But if this person gave the order…
Moon gave a small nod. “Understood. I’ll do as you say.
There was no room for refusal.
That unsettling feeling still hadn’t left Jean.
She was walking with Ludwig through the packed crowds of the amusement park.
People everywhere.
And yet that sense of being watched
–
quietly, relentlessly refused to fade.
–
It felt like she was being tracked. Hunted. As if something was circling her from the shadows, waiting for the right
moment to strike.
A cold chill climbed her spine.
Jean instinctively tightened her fingers into a fist.
Her eyes darted around, scanning the crowd. Just people. Nothing suspicious.
Was she just being paranoid?
She kept walking in step with Ludwig, but her mind was far away.
Her brows furrowed slightly in thought. Then, as if deciding something, she reached out and tugged on Ludwig’s arm.
He immediately turned to her, his gaze filled with concern.
“Let’s stop at the restroom,” Jean muttered quietly.
Ludwig blinked, clearly confused. “Restroom? Us? Together?”
Something was definitely wrong.
Someone was following them.
