Barbara was never a woman who gave up easily, even if the other party was Matthew, she still had to put up a fight.
It was already 2:00 p. m. when she arrived at the pier. Barbara already had a new identity, so she wasn’t worried at all that Matthew would come looking for her.
Barbara handed the ticket in her hand to the staff and was just about to get on the boat when suddenly a group of people pulled over with a clatter.
“Stop! Stop! Say you!!!”
Barbara was shocked and subconsciously wanted to run away, but running away would be a bigger target, so she calmly hung her head and lowered the brim of her hat.
A dozen black-clad men came over at once and started checking people who were ready to board the ship from head to tail, and the staff were not sure what was going on, shivering and hiding to the side.
Cold sweat fell down his forehead, and by the time the men in black came to him, Barbara’s head was lowered even more.
“Show me your papers.”
Curtis said coldly, after Matthew’s explanation in the morning, Curtis immediately dispatched more than 200 people to search the whole city.
The Empire Group has a very large sphere of influence and has connections and contacts throughout the city, so Curtis almost did not have to blow off any steam to find Barbara’s message. Knowing that Barbara was headed this way, Curtis already guessed that she was planning to escape by boat.
“What’s going on? We’re all honest people, you can check if you want.” Barbara said, while holding out her own documents, trying to muddle through.
She deliberately lowered her voice, although she hadn’t met Curtis before, but she was afraid of being recognized.
With her heart pounding furiously almost out of her throat, Barbara smiled and said, “The boat will be leaving soon, can you hurry up?”
“Yeah.”
Just then someone came to report that there was nothing found, Curtis looked at the ID card or something like that that Barbara handed over and nodded to give it back to her.
Although Empire Group had a large footprint in Oakshire, it wasn’t so lawless, and Matthew simply wouldn’t allow it.
Barbara breathed a sigh of relief.
Her heart was pounding in her throat, but she followed the crowd with a calm demeanor as the man next to Curtis asked, “Assistant Curtis, what now? Clearly said that the woman is here …”
Curtis’ eyebrows knitted up, yes, if Barbara could not be caught, it would be impossible to explain to Matthew.
At this time, Curtis’s eyes suddenly fell on Barbara’s body.
She was wearing the usual clothes, if that was all, Curtis would not have suspected!
However, it happened that those shoes were limited edition!
“Stand still!”
A shout came from behind her, Barbara’s heart thumped, she knew she should be a leak, but where exactly did it go wrong?
Barbara did not have time to think about it, she could only speed up her pace and run forward.
But she was a girl, how could she outrun Curtis and the dozen men behind Curtis? Their brother is trained, less than a minute has been Barbara to the ground …
Barbara’s eyes were dead on Curtis, who waved his hand and came over and took off her hat.
Still froze at the sight of her face.
“Miss Barbara, come with us.”
