Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 174

Miranda's response was quick.

"I'm not sure. I was in a pretty remote area then and now, too. I saw a few security cameras on the way, but they didn't seem to be on. I'm not sure if they were working."

This was a bit of a problem.

Mila asked again, "Did you see each other's faces?"

Silence from Miranda.

As soon as she didn't answer, Mila had a sinking feeling. They probably did see each other's faces. This was big trouble.

Mila made a swift decision. "Never mind about covering your tracks. Find a spot, ditch the guy and the gun, clean the car thoroughly. I'll expedite the paperwork for you to leave the country. Tomorrow—no, tonight, you need to get out!"

Miranda hesitated, "You mean... run?"

"What else?"

Mila felt a headache coming on.

"They've seen your face. There's no getting away clean."

"If they have guns and you're being chased, neither side is likely to be the good guys. You're just an outsider caught in the crossfire, destined to be collateral damage. Instead of waiting for them to track you down, running is your best option."

"Once you're abroad, you'll be out of their reach. They're not likely to chase you across borders."

"They're doing this in the dead of night, which means they don't want a big scene. With the situation not too deep yet, you should get as far away as possible. Forget about coming back for a few years until things settle down."

In Mila's mind, it was better to avoid praying for unknown parties to be reasonable. It was wiser to retreat and stay far away.

Who knew what kind of dangerous people were involved? An ordinary person caught in the middle was just a sacrificial pawn.

Miranda was struggling to accept it. Everything had been going well. How had she ended up needing to flee, leaving behind her six-year career as a lawyer and all her connections?

"But what about my job...?"

Mila was exasperated.

"For heaven's sake, now's not the time to be worrying about your job."
