Outside the gate, she immediately stopped a taxi. Veronica got in, and hurriedly urged the driver. “Let’s go!”
The driver looked into the rearview mirror and started the car.
After not seeing the villa that she was in, Veronica breathed a sigh of relief. She was elated that her plans went on smoothly. When passing the security check, she can’t breathe properly, afraid that she’ll be caught.
Veronica knew that she was almost found out by the bodyguard just now!
She looked down at her phone and avoided the streetlights. Under the cover of the night, she wore the uniform of the Winter Villa servant and the same hairstyle. The bodyguard did not think about it thoroughly.
Her time was limited. She didn’t know how long she can wait.
Cathy is cute and adorably played in the park. Nick stood not far away and took out his mobile phone.
He opened the monitoring software installed on his phone to check on Veronica.
But then, minutes have passed and he didn’t see Veronica. All that he saw was just the servant standing in the living room, not the one who takes care of Veronica.
Nick tapped the video and reviewed what happened.
From there, he saw Veronica entered the servant’s room at 06:00, but she never came out. The only one who came out was the servant, who went straight out of the room.
Then, another servant came in.
Nick’s eyebrows twisted slightly in confusion. His sharp black eyes looked back again, and then fixed on the maid who came out of the room!
Right then and there, he recognized her instantly!
“Damn it!” Nick muttered a low curse, He picked up his phone and yelled vehemently. “Punk! You can’t see people running away!?”
When someone rushed into the toilet, there was no one in it.
The other servant who checked saw that there was no Veronica in the room she lives in! All that she can found is the unconscious maid in the wardrobe.
“Mister, drive faster!” Veronica wants to leave downtown and decided to go straight to the suburbs.
She asked the driver to hurry up and also asked him to avoid the monitor.
It feels like there are monitors everywhere. The old-fashioned neighborhoods all have surveillance cameras as if they were staring at her.
Her mobile phone rang in her hand, it was a text message that was promptly sent to her. She opened it and the content inside made Veronica pale with fear!
‘You ‘d better not be caught by me!’
She was aghast how did Nick found out so soon.
With that, Veronica knew he was in a hurry to catch her.
She had to run and make sure that she won’t be caught.
For a week, no matter how seamless she was, she still couldn’t avoid being chased!
It’s just that this time is so different from what she predicted.
There was a threat in this sentence of Nick, unlike in his cruel and grumpy attitude.
Veronica languidly went soft with fear.
“Mister, is there any way to the suburbs that can completely avoid surveillance?” Veronica asked.
In the city, the traffic police must not be as familiar with the monitoring lines as taxi drivers.
“Not really! If there is no surveillance, it will lead from the city to the countryside! Woman, you didn’t do anything bad, did you? If you want to escape after committing a crime, I won’t pull you!” The taxi driver was vigilant.
“No, it was my ex-boyfriend who I had broken up and wanted to get back together with me. I was afraid of him, so I hid.” Veronica made up a reason.
“Your ex-boyfriend from the traffic brigade?”
“Don’t worry, it won’t cause you any trouble! Please find a place where there is no surveillance and put me down!” Veronica said.
Nick found her running away and will definitely have Kay Tours check the surveillance of the whole city! So, it’s only a matter of time before this taxi is locked.
The car stopped and Veronica hurriedly got out of the car and ran to a remote place.
As she walked back and forth in the alley, ran to another street, and then looked for remote places without monitoring, she was tired. But her courage and determination to be freed away from Nick’s grasp fired her up.
She kept on running and finally stopped. All of her energy seemed to be drained as she powerlessly tried to support herself on the wall. With desperation, worry, and relief that engulfed her system, tears fell one by one. It was as if she was going to have a nervous breakdown in the midst of escaping.
Even so, she dared not to continue to cry. She calmed herself down, put up with it, and called a taxi with her cell phone.
Before long, a car drove into the alley.
Veronica opened the door to get on the car. Minutes have passed and the taxi drove into the road, exposed under surveillance. She knew that sitting in the back seat is not easy as it used to be. She felt nervous and was like she was on pins and needles.
It wasn’t long before the car stopped.
Veronica asked worriedly. “Why did it stop?”
“Every car is being checked in front. Strange. What happened? They are still checking cars one by one. With such a big troop, they are not looking for fugitives, are they?” The muttered confused. He wasn’t aware that the passenger he has in the backseat was the ‘fugitive’ that caused a big ruckus.
The back of the Veronica went stiff. Even in the dark light, they would see the pallor of her face.
She held the cell phone in her hands tightly, as her mind was even more confused at the scene.
‘Why is it so hard to leave the Capital? The security was so strict! Nick did not hesitate to use manpower and material resources just to find me!’
The front inspection is very strict. They did not only checked one by one, but also opened the door to check and even the trunk!
Veronica was sitting in the back seat, even if she hid under the car, they could still find her.
‘What shall I do?’ Anxious, she asked in herself.
She needs to figure out a way quickly, or she’ll just be caught again and wait for herself to die.
Veronica looked through the front windshield at the vast queue of cars waiting for inspection in the distance. At the speed of a car in three minutes, the inspection would take about half an hour.
She should ask for help! But who would she look for? In the Capital, she has no one to trust and no one to compete with. No one wanted to help her against Nick.
Suddenly, when raked her mind, it is true that no one wanted to help her. However, she could create a relationship of “helping each other” with Rachel Hamilton.
It is definitely not possible to contact her with her own mobile phone.
She turned her eyes and fell on the impatient driver waiting in front of her. “Mister, can I use your cell phone? My phone’s battery is drained. I’ll just make a call!”
“Okay.” The driver gave her the phone.
Veronica found Rachel’s cell phone number in the servant’s phone.
Because when she left, she already imported the contacts on her phone book from her cell phone. At that time, she thought that it was a precautionary measure just in case something dire would happen, but she didn’t expect that she would really need it.
Rachel saved her cell phone number when she was looking for her.
Rachel has not been seen for a long time. After the entertainment industry hit a brick wall everywhere, she was also faced with termination compensation. That unfortunate mishap made Rachel’s downfall.
When her cell phone rang, she accepted it right away and thought that it was just a crew looking for her.
She answered hurriedly. “I’m Rachel Hamilton.”
“I’m Veronica Parker.”
Rachel was startled. “Veronica? How dare you call me? Because of you, I can’t even shoot a movie right now!”
“Well, I need your help.”
“Veronica, are you still awake after taking too much ecstasy? Do you think I’ll help you? What is it? ” Rachel lost her temper at the thought of what happened to her.
“I am now on the Capital Road. There is a checkpoint here. I am currently in a taxi. Come and help me confuse the police and help me escape.”
Rachel stood up from her bed. “My dad said that every car who passed on the Capital should be checked and the people who pass the roads. Is it because of you? Ha, such a good thing! Veronica, did you have a day like this? How dare you bring it to my concern? I’m going to tell Nick about this. He’ll definitely praise me!”
“Don’t you dare tell him! If you do so, I’ll tell Nick about your recording of him!”
“You.”
“Don’t you understand? Do you know why Nick and I got into this? Because of your recording! You sow the discord between me and him. You think that if Nick knows that you did it, wouldn’t he skin you alive?”
“Veronica, how dare you threaten me?” Rachel was very angry.
“You have twenty minutes! It’s up to you to decide whether to come or not. If I was caught by him because of you, I would still say about the recording!” Veronica doesn’t talk nonsense to her. Desperate time calls for desperate measure, after all. This time, she had no one to rely on.
“I’ll wait for you!”
