Chapter 937 First Love
Nora broke into a frown. She disagreed with her statement.
Life should matter more than anything else.
Even if Solo came along with them to capture Barbarian, someone like him wouldn’t be of any use at all. If she brought him along, he would really just be throwing his life away.
Nora retorted, “As if you’ve ever been in love.”
The next moment, Queenie gave her a smack on the head.
Nora was taken aback.
Queenie hadn’t put a lot of force into the smack. Also, Nora clearly could have dodged it, but she didn’t.
As for Queenie, she looked at her hand and suddenly broke into a grin. She said, “This is for your mom. Your mom once asked, ‘Is there any child who has never been disciplined by their parents?’, and told me to smack you once on her behalf. Now that I have, even if I drop dead, i’ll have something to say when I meet your mother.”
Nora: “…”
She felt that Queenie was doing it on purpose, deliberately using her mother’s identity to take advantage of her, but she didn’t have any proof.
Queenie then asked, “Who says I’ve never been in love?”
Nora asked curiously, “You have? With whom?”
“Heh, who says being in love must always involve another person?”
When Solo saw that Nora did not refuse his request, he started following behind the two of them obediently. When he heard Queenie’s response, he immediately remarked in surprise, “I didn’t expect you to be so narcissistic, Mdm. Schmidt. Are you actually in love with yourself?”
Queenie: “…”
The corners of Nora’s lips spasmed.
The trio got into the car and returned to the highway. Nora asked, “Who were you secretly in love with? Does he know?”
If she wasn’t dating someone, then there was only one explanation-it was unrequited love.
Nora was really curious about Queenie’s romantic history.
Queenie smiled. “He doesn’t, but there’s also a chance that he does.”
By then, Solo had also realized what she meant. He asked, “Didn’t you confess?”
“No, I didn’t.”
Queenie said, “If I do, I’m afraid that we won’t even be friends anymore.”
Solo: “?”
He immediately realized something. “The person you’re in love with must be your best friend’s husband, right?”
Queenie raised her eyebrows but did not deny
it.
Solo said with great respect, “There are so many women who steal their best friends’ husbands, but for your best friend’s sake, you actually suppressed your feelings. That’s really admirable of you!”
Nora’s mind, though, was already starting to wander.
Queenie was a loner.
She made friends everywhere when she was doing business, but Nora had been with her all this time during the past five years. She hadn’t seen any friend of hers that could be considered close.
In the midst of Nora’s curiosity, Queenie said, “Someone is coming after us again.”
Her words interrupted the trio’s conversation.
Solo hurriedly pressed himself against the backseat window and looked behind him. “Where are they?”
Nora also looked over through the rearview mirror.
The people in the car following them at the back were allies; there were about four mercenaries in there.
Behind them were a few other cars that all seemed normal.
There was only one car behaving abnormally. It moved at a moderate speed and followed after the few of them.
When Nora deliberately sped up, their allies’ vehicle followed suit and caught up to them. So did the other car.
When Nora slowed down, their allies’ vehicle followed suit again and slowed down while the black car also reduced its speed. The signs that it was tailing them were too telltale.
The strange thing about them, though, was that even when Nora slowed down, they still showed no intention to overtake or stop them. “Black Cat, we have confirmed that there is only one person in the car tailing us.” One of Nora’s subordinates conveyed the message to her through her Bluetooth headset.
Nora frowned.
Why was there someone following them again?
When Solo was tailing them, she had deliberately stopped for a meal to catch him. So, who was this guy?
If it were Barbarian, he would definitely find a way to intercept them for the V16. After all, by the time they reach the agreed-upon meeting spot, the mysterious organization would have people lying in ambush there, so it wouldn’t be convenient for Barbarian to rob them of the V16.
But if it was the mysterious organization, they definitely wouldn’t send just one person.
By sending only one person to fight against the five of them, were they courting death?
Nora took a deep breath.
Screech!
She suddenly stopped the car in the emergency lane and spoke into the headset. “You guys keep going.”
Their car didn’t stop, slowing down and moving ahead of them, instead.
The car following the two cars braked instantly and stopped on the road a short distance away. As the stop was too sudden, the car behind it almost ran into it.
The driver hurriedly turned the steering wheel and went around the other car from the next lane. Then, he rolled down the window and broke into a rant, after which he flipped the other driver the middle finger, expressing his extreme rage.
Nora: “…”
She could clearly feel the person inside the car hesitating. In the end, they drove over in resignation.
The door opened, and a familiar figure stepped out…
The man hadn’t fully recovered from his injuries yet, and even the bruises on his face hadn’t yet faded. He limped a little when he walked, but this didn’t affect his elegant demeanor.
He gave the glasses he was wearing a push. Then, with a bit of a wary look on his face, he slowly said, “You’ve discovered me.” The man turned out to be… Caleb Gray!
