CHAPTER 602: 598, TOO LATE TO SHOUT, TITUS ZANE HAD NO STRENGTH LEFT

At first, Alder Locke was like a constant shadow, which Titus Zane found very annoying, but she realized that as long as Alder Locke stayed by her side, Xiao Zhang was not inseparably close.

Compared to Xiao Zhang, who had a background in security, Alder Locke seemed less tense, and sometimes when she was selecting ingredients on the shelf, Alder Locke would casually browse the nearby shelves.

Although he was within sight, with New Year’s Eve approaching, there were quite a few shoppers in the supermarket, and it would probably be hard to notice if someone took the opportunity to slip into the crowd.

Titus Zane was prepared; when Abigail Zimmerman asked her to go out, she chose a pair of flat suede boots and a neutral-colored cotton coat, which would make it easier for her to slip away unnoticed.

Xiao Zhang drove, with cars carrying him and Abigail Zimmerman moving one after the other out of the compound; these days, Titus Zane hadn’t met privately with Nathan Moore, and Alder Locke’s mood had also improved a lot.

Sitting in the back seat with Titus Zane, he hummed a song lightly, seeming to be in a good mood.

After New Year’s Day, Alder Locke would take Titus Zane back. Samuel Zane had instructed his daughter-in-law to bring some specialty products from the Capital City for his old comrade-in-arms at the Department Store specialty floor, and Titus Zane was carefully selecting them with Abigail Zimmerman.

With the domestic population wealthy, the specialty floor was not lacking buyers.

Seeing Abigail Zimmerman selecting in the Northeast specialty area, Titus Zane glanced ahead at the counter, "Auntie, I’ll go over there and take a look."

"Sure, go ahead, but don’t wander off too far, so we don’t get separated again." As she said this, Abigail Zimmerman glanced at Alder Locke who was following Titus Zane.

Titus Zane agreed and walked towards the counter, with Alder Locke following.

At the counter, Titus Zane sometimes pointed at this, and sometimes at that; she took a long time to decide which to buy, and shopping was really torture for a man. After selecting for a while, Alder Locke clearly lost his patience.

Frowning slightly, "You take your time, I’ll go take a look over there."

"Alright, don’t go too far." Titus Zane reminded "concernedly", Alder Locke responded and walked through the crowd to a secluded counter, the department store being large and that area being less populated.

Still holding a bag of some food ingredient in her hand, Titus Zane turned her head and saw Alder Locke still walking in that direction. She put down the food ingredient, apologized, "Please keep this for me," and then quickly left the counter.

She needed to find a safe place to inform Nathan Moore and have him prepared for both of them to leave together.

She ran towards the direction of the restroom, and after entering, she took out her phone and dialed Nathan Moore’s number.

"...Nathan Moore... Is everything packed up? I’m at the Easy Fortune Department Store, come quickly to pick me up..."

They couldn’t leave by plane, not to mention whether they could get tickets at this time, even if they booked the tickets, given her grandfather’s standing, it would be easy for him to intercept them at the airport.

The two had discussed it and decided to leave by car together and then buy plane tickets in another city after leaving the Capital City.

After finishing the call with Nathan Moore and about to put away her phone, Titus Zane felt like someone was standing behind her; she turned around to see a tall figure, and before she could react, a cloth was already blocking her breath. Before she could scream, her body went limp all at once.

Holding Titus Zane under the arms, Caspian Warner dragged her into a stall, put the prepared wig on Titus Zane’s head, topped it with a bright ski cap, sunglasses, and then stripped off his own cotton coat to fully wrap Titus Zane. With Caspian Warner’s tall stature and the long cotton coat, it only left her feet showing.

Having finished the disguise, Caspian Warner, holding Titus Zane, walked out swaggeringly.
