Even though Anne had got into the cab, she was still panicking.

She took out her phone from his bag, opened the car window, and threw it out.

The phone fell to the ground with a loud thud, shattering as the car drove by.

"Sir, please drive faster!”

"You haven't said where you want to go!" The driver was annoyed.

"T-To the countryside.”

"Where exactly?"

How would Anne know where exactly the countryside was? She was clueless about those things. "Just...just drive straight ahead.” It would surely lead them to the countryside.

Anthony returned to the office after work when it was almost three o'clock.

He took out his phone and called Anne, but no one answered.

Instead, a call came in, and it was Corentin.

"There's no trace of that woman. Are you sure she is in Athetin?"

Anthony was initially confident of it, but he was not unsure. After all, the person might have moved somewhere after so many days.

"If she's not in Athetin, it means she has allies,” Anthony said.

Who would dare take in a stranger with a gunshot wound?

"I'll let my people take note of this in case there are other clues.”

After the call, Corentin threw the phone on the table.

Paul and Owen were sitting in the lounge. "Corentin, do you have a good relationship with Anthony from Luton? Do you want us to take action?"

Corentin took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand. His eyes were closed, and he looked intoxicated.

As it was inconvenient for Ashlynn to have sex recently, Corentin had been 'celibating’, and it was not easy for him.

"That's right, Corentin. You gave us everything we have now, and it doesn't feel right not to do anything,” Owen said.

"Just manage the bar well and don't cause trouble for me. You'll be needed when necessary." Corentin picked up the wine and finished it in one go, feeling refreshed from the burning sensation. "Corentin, why do you look sexually frustrated? We have newcomers in the bar, and they're clean. Do you want to play with them?" Paul asked with a smile.

Corentin smiled and threw the cigarette at them. Then, he got up and said, "Go ahead and play with them yourself. I have something else to do. Bye."

Owen leaned back on the sofa and said, "I can't help but feel that Ashlynn is a menace, and Corentin will fall into her hands sooner or later!"

"Stop with the nonsense. If Corentin finds out, the consequences will be unbearable for you.” Paul stopped Owen.

"Don't you agree with me? Ashlynn has caused Corentin trouble before! If it wasn't for Corentin's wit, how could he survive?" Owen said.

"What do you want to do?" Paul asked.

Owen made a throat-slitting gesture. "If we do it quietly, Corentin won't know. After a long time, he'll forget about that woman."

"I don't know if he'll forget about her, but I know you'll be the first to die when Corentin finds out. It's not like you don't know that although Corentin is usually kind to us, he won't show mercy when he becomes ruthless.”

Owen flinched, but he still said forcefully, “I'm doing it for Corentin's own good!"

"Why don't we keep an eye on Ashlynn? If we find any signs, we'll tell Corentin. That way, she will have a bad end too. After all, Ashlynn’s heart is no longer with Corentin, and she'll definitely not behave well."

Owen thought it was a good idea and patted Paul's shoulder hard. "No wonder you used to be Salvatore's advisor!"

"F*ck you!" Paul laughed, almost choking on the cigarette in his mouth.

Anne got out of the car, and the driver left without looking back after collecting the fare.

She stood by the side of the road, not knowing the direction, and everything was unfamiliar. Looking at the long and only road, Anne walked forward with a blank expression and the bag in her arms

Was this considered a remote place?

There were fields on both sides.

However, she still saw cars approaching, and she could not help but wonder if it was far enough. So, Anne flagged down another cab that happened to be passing by, just in case.

The cab drove for another half an hour, and the driver could not help asking, "How much longer do you want me to drive? Where are you going?"

")-Just stop here!" Anne paid the fare and got out of the cab.
