I smiled slightly. "I'm really sorry, but I still have a child at home. I really have to go."
As soon as I said that, I stood up and got prepared to say goodbye.
Jackie looked like he still had things to say, but seeing that we insisted on leaving, there was nothing else he could do.
After leaving the hotel and getting into the car, Keith looked at a car parked not far behind. He sneered disdainfully, saying, "What a greenie."
I did not ask anything and turned back to look.
Keith started the car, and so did the car at the back.
"Is Jackie in the car?" I asked.
Keith nodded. "Maybe.”
"Do you know anything about this man?"
"Not yet, but we should know something soon."
I raised my hand and rubbed my chin. "The most important thing is to know who the big boss behind him is."
Keith nodded. "Yeah."
Jackie had been trying to worm information out of me just now, and that was really suspicious.
I asked, "Are they planning to get something out of m e?"
Keith nodded. "If that's really the case, it can only be that they want to get their hands on the box."
After a pause, he asked me, "Have you ever asked about the specific origin of the box?"
When we returned to the villa, Munchkin had already fallen asleep.
Miss Woods had put all the things she prepared downstairs. When she saw that I had returned, she walked over and said, "Mr. Grant has called several times asking if you've returned. I think he’s worried. Why don’t you call him back?"
I nodded. I was talking to Keith the whole way just now and forgot to check my phone.
When I took my phone out of my purse to take a look, I realized that my phone had shut down by itself because it was out of battery.
After going upstairs and returning to my room, I charged my phone before going to wash up.
When I was done washing up, I gave Theo a call.
The call quickly went through, and it seemed as though he had been waiting for my phone call. He asked, "Are you lying on the bed already?"
