Harvey did not delay his departure and thus asked, “Vicky, can I borrow your phone?”
Vicky handed her phone to Harvey, who swiftly made a phone call. “How are things looking?”
“Johnson Corporation’s market value has stabilized for now, but we’re not sure if they have other plans to destroy us,” reported Jackie.
“Have the assassins left?” Harvey asked.
“Yes.”
“I’m at Vicky’s studio right now. Send someone here to pick me up.”
“Of course. I’ll arrange it right away.”
After hanging up, Harvey handed the phone back to Vicky and said, “Thank you.”
Vicky shook her head. “Rest for now. I’ll let you know once your men are here.”
Harvey nodded and closed his eyes.
Vicky’s phone rang about 20 minutes later, and Harvey’s eyes snapped open.
Vicky handed him the phone, and he answered right away.” What’s the matter?”
“Sir, we’ve arranged for someone to pick you up, but during the journey, we noticed…an unknown vehicle tracking us,” said Jackie tensely. “We suspect it might be Tyler’s people.”
Understanding Jackie’s implication, Harvey’s gaze deepened. “Are you sure?”
“We can’t confirm anything at the moment, but…I’ve
changed our route. We’ll find out who they are soon enough, ” replied Jackie.
Vicky heard everything due to how quiet the room was, and her heart sank.
Harvey remained silent for a few seconds. “Alright.”
Both Harvey and Vicky remained quiet after the call.
The rain outside intensified.
Sometime later, Vicky’s phone sharply rang again. Staring at the caller ID on her phone, she did not hesitate to answer the call.
“Sir, it’s an ambush!” Jackie’s anxious voice came through, mixed with gunshots and the chaotic sounds of a fight. “The attackers deliberately withdrew the assassins pursuing you to ascertain your real position-“
Bang! The sound of a gunshot rang before Jackie could finish his sentence.
The call abruptly disconnected.
Vicky held onto the phone, feeling as though her heart had stopped beating.
‘If Jackie didn’t notice someone following him and led those people away, Harvey could be dead by now…’ she thought.
Her grip on the phone tightened to the point that her fingertips grew pale as she realized Tyler had lied to her.
Taking several deep breaths, Vicky found it impossible to calm her inner turmoil. She stood up. “Stay here to recover; I need to go out.”
“Vicky,” Harvey called after her. “Are you planning to go to him?”
Vicky did not speak, her face as pale as a sheet.
“Don’t go,” said Harvey with a faint smile. “Even if you do, he won’t admit to anything. Who knows? He might even
discover that I’m hidden here with you.”
Studying Harvey’s weakened form, Vicky whispered, “I’m sorry.”
