Chapter 206

Tommy shadowed them carefully the entire time, making sure not to draw any attention.

The longer he tailed them, the weirder things felt. ‘Seriously? How’d a shopping trip end up at the airport?” Tommy thought to himself.

He whipped out his phone to call his brother Barry, his gaze locked tight on Rebecca. “Ms. Jensen brought Samuel and Amelia to the airport. Should I let Mr. Hanson know about this?”

Barry was stumped. “Wait, what?”

Barry: “Where?!”

Tommy: “The airport.”

Barry was totally panicking. “Duh, obviously you tell him!”

“But Mr. Hanson said if Ms. Jensen and her crew weren’t in any danger today, we don’t need to tell him anything,” Tommy said, looking genuinely puzzled. “You think maybe he knew Rebecca was gonna take off and just let it slide?”

Barry froze, taken aback for a moment.

‘Yeah, the boss did say to pull back every single watcher, Barry thought, uneasy.

‘Still, Rebecca leaving? That’s no small matter,‘ he worried.

“Just keep them in sight. I’m heading straight to Mr. Hanson to report now,” Barry said quickly.

“Got it,” Tommy replied, hanging up.

By now, Rebecca had already blended into the stream of travelers at the airport. Just as she was heading to the ticket counter, her phone buzzed twice–Richard Jensen had texted her: [Sorry.]

Rebecca glanced at the message and stashed her phone away; her expression was perfectly calm, not a ripple of emotion inside.

She and Amelia held Samuel’s hands as they boarded the plane together.

The plane took off.

‘Finally, I can breathe a little easier,’ Rebecca thought, her nerves loosening as the plane rose into the sky.

While Jeffrey was caught up in a meeting at the office, Barry paced outside the conference room until he managed to catch Gregory’s attention, nodding toward his phone for him to check it.

Gregory pulled out his phone.

Gregory’s eyes flickered for a moment as he read the message.

After thinking it over for a few seconds, he bent down and kept his voice low as he reported to Jeffrey, “Mr. Hanson, Tommy just called. Ms. Jensen and her group went to the airport–the plane to Honnala departed about five minutes ago.”

There was an icy edge in Jeffrey’s dark eyes, his gaze freezing over for a second.

But the chill vanished in an instant–almost like nothing had happened.
