Chapter 120
Dominic spotted the black sports car through the window. It was only about 15 feet away.
It was the same license plate as in the footage
“Stay calm. Keep following,” he said, his voice low and steady, carrying a
gateassuring authority.
“Yes, Mr. Reid.”
Raymond took a deep breath, steadied his grip on the wheel, and slowly picked up speed to trail the car
Dominic relayed the information about the suspicious black sports car to Rebecca. She would notify the authorities and call Calvert for backup
After about 15 minutes of careful pursuit, the car turned into a gated community,
They couldn’t get in
“Wat.. In’t this Ms. Gildon’s old house?” Raymond’s voice was filled with shock
Dominic’s gaze darkened as he stared at the black sports car disappearing through the gate. His expression turned unreadable, but a sharp glint flickered in his eyes, He pulled out his phone and dialed Loke
Vespera woke up to the overwhelming stench of gasoline.
It made bar stomach chum.

The sharp sound of beets clicking echoed from outside the living room.
A petite figute emerged from the shadows. Even though her face wasn’t entirely visible, espera instantly knew who it was—Tina, Vespera’s body went rigid. She stopped at ruggling.
Tina sauntered over and settled beside la, leaning in close, absently licking open and slutting a sleek metal lighter in her hands.

The sleek metal lightersnapped open and shut with a slurp click
