    The next day.

    Joy Lyle received arrangements from her "boss" and left Phoebe Lyle’s house, heading straight to the film crew.

    In cases like these where there’s a sudden change of actors, they need to quickly reshoot the previous scenes, followed by post-production editing.

    Elliana Lyle, however, had some free time. Thomas Lee said she didn’t need to go to the set for a week, so she thought she could finally spend some quality time with Norman Bet.

    However, things didn’t go as nned. Norman Bet was so busy he couldn’t pay any attention to her. She wouldn’t even see a glimpse of him during the day, only seeing him at night!

    Still, Norman Bet did bring her some good news: Adrian Young and Luna had been imprisoned.

    She breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted off her shoulders.

    On the third day of her break, Luna proactively invited her to meet, again at the Fengxiang Hotel.

    Luna took out a photo and said, "This is Simon King. Take a good look at him."

    "At 9 o’clock today, he will leave thepany. ording to my observations and intelligence, he will be meeting another lover today. You need to follow him."

    After speaking, Luna handed her a new phone, "I’ve installed a tracker."

    Looking at the sky-blue mirrored phone, Elliana Lyle hesitated for a few seconds before epting the phone from Luna. Running away at thest minute was not her style.

    "Alright, leave it to me." Elliana Lyle agreed right away, showing great courage.

    It was already past 8 o’clock, and she had to hurry and catch a cab to the stakeout point. The address was Lan Dongting Real Estate Development, which wasn’t far; a cab ride would take just ten minutes.

    ―――Lan Dongting Real Estate Development.

    Elliana Lyle bought a cup of milk green tea and a burger, sitting on a bench by the roadside, waiting. She wore a fluffy white dress and a lemon-yellow bucket hat, with fashionable oval burgundy sunsses on her cute face.

    This outfit made her look like a little girl out for shopping.

    Around 9:10, she finally saw Simon King at the revolving door!

    The man in a ck suit was followed by two strong bodyguards. Elliana Lyle hesitated for a moment, thinking if she got caught red-handed, it would be the talk of themunity!

    As Simon King headed toward the vehicle, Elliana Lyle quickly stood up, tossed the burger box, and walked unhurriedly to the roadside, quickly hailing a taxi.

    There were plenty of taxis on this stretch, no wonder Luna said there was no need to worry about transportation.

    "Little girl, where to?" The taxi driver was a middle-aged man, looking kind and amiable.

    By this time, Simon King had already gotten into his car, and his two bodyguards were still scouting the area.

    "Uncle, please follow that ck car." Elliana Lyle pointed to the ck vehicle in front,

    The taxi driver, seeing she was just a young girl, assumed she was following a boyfriend and didn’t ask many questions, simply followed her instructions.

    After about ten minutes, Simon King’s car stopped by the roadside, and Elliana Lyle quickly told the driver, "Uncle, stop at that advertisement board ahead!"

    The billboard was ten meters away from Simon King’s car. After paying, Elliana Lyle got out of the car with a sense of unease, stood right at the billboard, snapped a selfie with her phone, then pretended to lower her head to send messages.

    After these acts to cover up her actions, Elliana Lyle looked towards Simon King’s side. Not only was there a bus stop here, but there was also a shopping center behind it.

    Simon King slowly got out of the car. The bodyguards didn’t follow, and he walked towards the shopping center alone.

    But Luna had warned her to be cautious since Simon King would not be too mboyant outside, but that didn’t mean there were no bodyguards; they would be lurking in the shadows.

    She then followed, maintaining a reasonable distance in the crowd of the bustling shopping center square, her small figure weaving through the crowd, barely keeping up with Simon King’s pace.

    When Simon King entered the shopping center’s main entrance, he disappeared from her view. Her heart sank, and she hurriedly quickened her pace to catch up.

    Luckily, she didn’t lose him. She spotted the man in the suit in the distance, and currently, he was the only suited man she could see.

    Half an hourter...

    After following him all the way, Elliana Lyle discovered Simon King had arrived at a rtively less crowded area, with the sound of incessant traffic in her ears and only the two of them in the pedestrian passage.

    Being far away, Elliana Lyle could hardly see the person in front clearly, so she quickened her pace.

    Suddenly, Simon King in front pulled out a phone from his briefcase, then stopped to make a call.

    Elliana Lyle also stopped by the streetmp, not daring to look around, only ying on her phone with her head down.

    When Simon King continued walking, she followed again.

    "Is this the police? Someone is following me!"

    The man ahead of Elliana Lyle sounded panicked, withrge beads of sweat on his forehead, wearing a Bluetooth earphone with a faint glow.

    This man was not Simon King; he was just a middle-aged man fired by thepany, timid and cowardly.

    On the other end, the police immediately responded, "Sir, please state your current location!"

    "Wanhua Road..."

    "Sir, please remain calm and try to head towards a more crowded area. Our officers are on the way!"

    Elliana Lyle continued to follow at a safe distance, utterly unaware that the man ahead had already alerted the police. At the same time, she wondered if Simon King took his briefcase when he got out of the car?

    ...

    North City Police Station.

    Elliana Lyle sat on a red-painted chair, in front of her was a paper cup with the words "Police Station" printed on it.

    She really had no way to honestly exin to the police officer in front of her, so they were at an impasse.

    When the tea had gotten cold, finally, someone came to get her out. To her surprise, Norman Bet also showed up!

    She had clearly called Luna earlier!

    ...

    "Get in the car!" Norman Bet demanded, face stern.

    Elliana Lyle dared notin, obediently getting into the car, as she didn’t know how to exin things to Norman Bet.

    With a bang, the car door closed, but Norman Bet didn’t get in. He merely instructed the driver, "Drive!"

    "Huh? Norman Bet, aren’t youing back with me?" Elliana Lyle rolled down the window, reaching out to grab the man’s arm.

    Norman Bet looked down at her, appearing genuinely angry.

    "You’d better go back and think carefully about what excuse you’ll use to deceive me."

    "I just thought of it! Uh..." Elliana Lyle realized she had misspoken, suddenly closing her mouth, making the atmosphere slightly awkward.

    "..." The man lightly frowned, really unsure what kind of thoughts upied this girl’s mind.

    "Not really~ What I mean is, I will exin to you."

    "Let go!" Norman Betmanded coldly.

    Elliana Lyle pouted and shook her head, "No, Norman Bet, don’t be mad. I’ve already told you, I did follow someone, but I followed the wrong person."

    "Who were you initially supposed to follow?" the man asked.

    Elliana Lyle answered honestly, "Simon King."

    After hearing this answer, Norman Bet’s expression noticeably softened. This little girl wasn’t lying to him, at least not entirely.

    "Alright, you go back first. I’lle backter to apany you, be good." Norman Bet gently patted her head, like smoothing the fur of a kitten.
