Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) -
Chapter 1030
Chapter 1030
When the barking cut into their conversation, Jamie finally noticed that Alicia had brought her petdog along. He was leaning on the window and wagging his tail in excitement.
"Good boy." He walked over to pat the dog on its head. "We only met once, but you rememberedme. You have a good memory."
The big dog kept pushing its head against Jamie's palm while wagging its tail faster.
He had no choice but to get closer and put his arms around the dog.
Caressing the dog, he turned around and asked Alicia, "This place is so remote. What brings youhere?"
"I'm planning to bring Prince to the farm since there are many animals there. I think he will have funthere," Alicia explained.
She named the dog “Prince’.
"I see. You're right. Dogs love other animals.” Jamie nodded. "Well, I won't keep you longer. Have asafe trip.”
"All right. See you next time." After bidding farewell to them, Alicia got in her car and left.
The car already drove away, but Ariel was lost in her thoughts.
"Are you okay?" Jamie thought she hadn't calmed down
She gazed in the direction the car was leaving as she answered, "I'm wondering if we aren't far-sighted enough. A person indeed can hide in the slum, but people rarely visit rural areas, so they arebetter hiding spots.”
"What you are trying to say is Matthew could be hiding on the farm?" Jamie took the hint andelaborated on her theory.
"Matthew needs a lot of manpower to carry out his plan. The farm is the best spot to hide that manypeople. What's more, they don't have to go out and seek resources when they can achieve them onthe farm.” She analyzed the situation.
"What are you waiting for? Let's tell the others! We'll begin the search right now." He was alreadylooking for numbers to dial.
Once Alicia arrived at the farm, she kept Prince company when the dog was enjoying outdoor fun.After he had fun chasing the flock of chickens and ducks, and messing with the cows, Aliciaproceeded with playing fetch with Prince, which was his favorite game.
She threw the ball a distance away, and he fetched the ball back to her. They repeated the samesteps again and again, both enjoying the moment.
After playing the game for a while, Prince once again returned to her with the ball. At the sametime, Suella sent her a message. This time, Alicia used force to throw the ball farther into thedistance, so it could keep Prince's attention occupied for a moment.
She checked the message on WhatsApp, and Suella was inviting her to hang out.
"Woof woof!"
"Okay, okay. I'm coming."
Prince was urging her to come over, so she replied to Suella's message with a rejection. After that,she shoved her phone into her pocket and rushed toward her pet dog.
When she approached Prince, she finally understood the reason for his urgency. The ball had landedbetween the fence of two farms. However, there was a little space above the fence, and Princecouldn't worm his body through them. Thus, he had to call his owner over to help him.
"All right, all right. Let me get it for you.”
Alicia rolled her sleeves up before reaching out a hand over the fence to pick up the ball. Prince waswaiting beside her obediently all this time.
Just when her hand almost reached the ball, she heard footsteps from the opposite direction.
The next moment, a man's threatening voice echoed in front of her.
"You're in charge of the farm at the moment. Keep an eye on that guy. If anything goes wrong, youknow the consequences.”
The distant voice was getting closer, and it passed by Alicia before it receded in the oppositedirection.
His words reminded Alicia of Jamie and Ariel. All three of them are Cittadelians. They're looking fora missing person... And the man just now asked his companion to keep an eye on someone.
These two things could be connected.
Thus, she took out the phone without hesitation to call Jamie.
However, Prince barked at the same moment.
She immediately put a hand around its mouth, but she was too slow. Matthew stopped right thereas he turned around to look in her direction with a piercing gaze.
Alicia held her breath as she listened to his moves.
A few seconds later, a low voice boomed above her head. "Who are you trying to call?"
She raised her head and met his gloomy expression.
The next moment, she lunged forward and ran. "Prince, run!"
Even though she had the habit of jogging, she was way too slow compared to Matthew. She onlymade it a few yards when his kick landed on her back, and the impact sent her to the ground.Prince pounced at Matthew and bit his arm when he saw him attacking his owner.
"Ouch!" Matthew grunted in pain and landed a few punches at the dog in anger. However, Princewas reluctant to let go.
Alicia rose to her feet when Matthew's focus was on the dog. She began to run and shouted atPrince to get his attention, "Prince, come over here! Quick!"
Before the dog could register her command, Matthew took out a dagger from his pocket andstabbed it into Prince's body.
Stab! Stab! He went in with abandon. A moment later, he took the dog's life.
"Prince!"
Grief struck Alicia. At the same time, she realized that she was facing a murderous man. She didn'tdare mourn Prince's death as she quickened her steps and fled the scene.
However, Matthew was faster than her. Besides, she was injured. At last, he caught up with her andcaptured her.
He could have killed her, but he changed his mind when he noticed the name-brand clothes on her.Worried that he would draw the police's attention to him, he spared her.
After that, he dragged Prince's dead body away and buried it somewhere.
In the meantime, Narissa had been following Heather for the last two hours. At last, they arrived at adeserted and shabby motel.
After Heather checked in, Narissa searched around the place for clues but to no avail.
Watching Heather sleep was the last straw to break Narissa's back. She left the place and calledElise. "El, are you sure we are on the right path? That woman just found a motel to spend the night. Ithink I'm starting to hear her snores.”
Listening to another person's snoring was nothing but torture to someone who hadn't slept for twodays.
Even though Heather didn't actually snore, she was having a good sleep. And that was enough tomake Narissa feel sleepy.
"She's being cautious, so you can't replace her hideout. Bring her to me. I'll interrogate her myself."
It seems like a conservative method is useless. Thus, Elise had no choice but to use force onHeather.
"Roger that. I'll take care of it."
Narissa ended the call and walked straight up to Heather's room before knocking on the door."Good evening, madam. This is room service."
Heather was on the verge of falling asleep when Narissa's voice shook her off sleep. She answeredthe door with an unhappy expression.
When she opened the door, she was alerted by Narissa's Cittadelian features. She didn't hesitate toclose the door.
Narissa wasted no time kicking the door open. Worrying that the impact would hurt her baby,Heather placed her hands over her belly to protect it as she took a few steps backward
Narissa grinned at her. "Let's go. I'm craving sleep.”
"How does it have anything to do with me?" Pressing her back to the wall, Heather shookuncontrollably.
She just witnessed the woman's strength. I definitely stand no chance of defeating her.
"Damn. I didn't mean to tell you that."
Narissa swore before changing her tone. "Just follow me. I don't want to use force."
Judging from the woman's attitude, Heather could tell that disobedience would only lead to a kickon her body instead of the door.
A loss may turn out to be a gain. After pondering for a second, Heather complied with Narissa.Narissa drove at full speed. Within half an hour, she brought Heather to Elise.
Heather had been suffering from morning sickness, and she had to overcome the cold breeze onthe way here. Thus, the feeling of nausea was stronger when she arrived at their destination. All shecould do was kneel on the ground and retch violently.
"Here she is. I'll leave the rest to you. You can replace me upstairs, but not before I get a good sleep.”Narissa was exhausted, so she simply left Heather on the ground while she headed upstairs alone.
