CHAPTER 573: CHAPTER 573: I MUST SEE HIM

The elevator stopped on the fourth floor, and the two of them got off together. Evelyn Clayton went to Gene Young’s room first.

"I don’t suggest moving so quickly."

Once inside, Gene Young handed Evelyn a bottle of water. "If you have enough time, it’s best to wait until the day after tomorrow or the day after that."

Evelyn asked, "Why do you say that?"

"To prevent someone from following you or me," Gene said in a low voice. "I need some time to check if anyone is trailing us. If not, then we can act. But if there is, we might have to turn back this trip."

Although Evelyn had been very cautious before leaving, she hadn’t noticed anything unusual along the way, so she subconsciously felt she might be overthinking.

However, as Gene Young is a former police officer, Evelyn naturally had an inherent trust in him.

Evelyn’s gaze turned a few shades more serious. "So you mean to say that there’s a very high possibility we are being followed?"

Hearing this, Gene paused slightly, his expression a bit more solemn, and even his voice dropped. "A few days ago, I noticed someone was following me near my house."

Evelyn silently gasped.

"Although I can’t be sure who it is yet, the less I know, the more careful we have to be," Gene said, pressing his temples as if troubled. "This is also why I didn’t tell you I was coming to Y Province. I was afraid of implicating you."

Evelyn let out a bitter laugh. "If there’s any implication, it’s probably me implicating you. If I hadn’t contacted you, you likely wouldn’t have been dragged back into this mess."

After leaving Gene Young’s place, Evelyn returned to her own room.

Once inside, Evelyn locked the door, lay on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

If she guessed correctly, the person behind Summer was likely already getting wary.

It might not take long before they make a move...

Now she’s in the open, while they’re in the dark.

The feeling of being watched from the shadows is truly unsettling.

After lying for a while, as the sky grew darker, Violet Ford called.

Evelyn answered, "Violet. I’ve arrived in Y Province."

Violet spoke, her tone sounding somewhat somber, "Is everything okay over there?"

Evelyn sat up, frowning slightly, "I’m fine... why do you ask?"

"I need to tell you something." For the first time, Violet spoke hesitantly, "Around noon today, Summer and Heather Donovan also left the province."

Evelyn’s heart tightened.

But soon, Violet continued, "But don’t worry that they’re coming for you. Franklin managed to have someone follow them, and we should have results soon. So, Evelyn, don’t rush to see Lars yet. Stay there for a couple of days and wait for my news, okay?"

Evelyn’s throat moved, and she replied softly with some difficulty, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Violet."

After hanging up, Evelyn stared blankly out the window.

The sunset was gradually setting, a scene that would usually be very pleasant and warm, but now, looking at it, Evelyn felt inexplicably uneasy.

Even if she were the calmest person, being in a foreign place with no other friends except someone she had known for a short time, it inevitably made Evelyn feels a bit unsettled.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that a storm was brewing.

After thinking for a long time, Evelyn felt a small stir in her heart.

She changed her clothes, took a short break, then called Rhys Jacobs to inquire about some garment fabric factory addresses in Y Province.

After the call, Evelyn’s gaze steadied, looking at the darkening sky outside, her eyes glinting with determination.

No matter what, this time she must meet Lars!
