Chapter 917 - Aunt's Clever Deception

On the other side of the island, a man slowly approached from directly across Simone.

Tina narrowed her eyes-it was Ruud.

Simone lowered her head and called out in a deep, respectful voice, "Boss!"

Ruud's brows furrowed with a cold sharpness, his tone chilly. "You were followed. Three o'clock direction."

Simone's eyes gleamed with vigilance. She swiftly moved in that direction, raising her hand to strike.

Jared pulled Tina aside in a quick motion, dodging the attack. As Simone turned, her gaze filled with surprise. She retracted her movements and shook her head helplessly.

Looking up at Ruud, Simone saw him shake his head with a faint, resigned smile, motioning for them to come over.

Simone walked forward, with Jared and Tina following behind. Standing before Ruud, Ruud cast a sharp glance at Jared, then shifted his gaze to his daughter with a look of pride he couldn't conceal.

Simone smiled faintly. "So, someone managed to follow me undetected. Turns out it was you two-Jared and Tina. No wonder."

Tina responded with a light laugh. "Aunt, you're impressive too. You fooled all of us!"

Simone pressed her lips together without answering.
