Forbidden Passion

Chapter 331 Do I Look That Stupid?

The black vintage car sped towards them, causing Phoebe and her pursuers to stop in their tracks. Seeing that the vehicle not slowing down at all, the pursuers started running back. When the car screeched to a halt beside Phoebe, the passenger window rolled down. Theodore spoke harshly with a stern look, "What are you standing there for? Get in!" Phoebe froze for two seconds when she spotted Theodore driving. Realizing something was wrong, the black-clad bodyguards turned back and started chasing again. Terrified, she quickly opened the passenger door and jumped in.

The car hadn't even closed its door properly when it shot off like an arrow. Phoebe clung to the seat tightly to avoid being thrown out.

The passenger door slammed shut with inertia. The black-clad bodyguards chased the car for half a block, but in the end could only curse and watch helplessly as the car disappeared into the night.

In the casino, a man stepped out of the shadows, wearing an exquisite fox mask with a ruby embedded in the center of his forehead, making his black eyes appear even more sinister. "Did you lose her?" The masked man's voice was emotionless.

The dozen bodyguards lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

The masked man curled his lips. "A dozen of you chasing one woman, and you still let her get away. You're useless to me."

"Sorry, sir. We don't expect a vintage car to show up and take her away," one of them said, trembling.

The masked man's face darkened. "Did you see who took her?"

"It was too dark to see..."

"Useless! Get out of my sight!" the masked man roared. The bodyguards immediately scrambled out, fearing they might never leave if they were a second late.

Soon, the large room was left with only the masked man. He let out a cryptic laugh. 'So close to catching her, what a pity!' he thought.

The car finally slowed down to a normal speed. Phoebe quickly fastened her seatbelt and looked at the man in the driver's seat. "When did you come to Starfall City?" Theodore gripped the steering wheel tightly without a word, his face stern.
