Chapter 382 Scheme

Confused, Jessica asked back, "What?"

"That van has been tailing us the whole way."

Reflecting for a moment, Jessica confirmed, "Right! I noticed that van at a traffic light earlier andthought it was suspicious. We've pulled over here, and they've also stopped. That's not right."

"After passing the next intersection, take a left. There's a dead-end road there, deserted."

"A dead-end? What are you planning?"

"What can I do? I'm just curious to see what the people in that van intend."

At that moment, Beauty returned. Daniel's glaring made her uncomfortable.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she challenged.

"I want to see if you're feeling guilty."

"Why would I feel guilty?"

"If you've done something bad and you're not feeling guilty, Beauty, you’ve got some thick skin."

"What bad thing have I done? Stop slandering me!"

"Beauty, other than physically, your heart is filthy!"

"Your heart is the filthy one!"

Daniel pointed at the rearview mirror, asking, "Does that van behind us seem familiar to you,Beauty?"

"What van? I didn't see one."

Of course, Beauty wouldn't admit that the van was part of her plan.

"Beauty, just a reminder – if you misbehave during your period, cramps can get really severe! Youmight end up writhing in agony, rolling on the bed, on the floor, howling with pain, constantly tossingand turning!"

"You're the one who'll be rolling and howling!"

Beauty retorted angrily, then smugly added, "I don't get menstrual cramps! I’ve never had thembefore, and I won't now."

Beauty wasn't lying; she rarely suffered from period pain. Even when she did, it was a manageablediscomfort. Thus, Daniel's attempt to intimidate her with menstrual cramps was futile. She'd neveradmit that the van was her doing.

"Since Beauty won't confess, let's just prove with facts that her belly is full of schemes!"

"Your belly is the one full of schemes!"

...

Tired of their bickering, Jessica intervened, "Enough! Both of you, shut up! Fighting the first time youmeet, how annoying!"

Beauty fell silent.

Daniel, still smirking mischievously, turned to Jessica, "Honey, let's stick to the plan."

"Okay," Jessica agreed.

She stepped on the gas and started the Panamera.

Beauty's heart skipped a beat, a sense of urgency rising. "What plan have you guys come up with?"

"The plan we have targets that suspicious van behind us. Since it has nothing to do with Beauty,you naturally don't have to worry about a thing."

"Heh,"

A somewhat guilty Beauty forced a cold laugh to ease her conscience. She then realized there wasno need to worry. What kind of plan could a country bumpkin have? What could he do? The personshe had arranged was definitely reliable. Taking care of a country boy should be a piece of cake.
