Chapter 196 What Are You Doing Here?

Under a bright, moonlit sky scattered with stars, a white Range Rover zipped across the coastal path of a remote fishing village in Lisboa City; its movements were wilder than the sea breeze.

According to the position Gale gave him, she was somewhere nearby.

The headlights shone on a car parked at the far corner, and the silver Audi logo with its four circles on the rear caught his eye.

Alexander’s heart tightened and he immediately stepped on the brakes.

In that instant, he felt his heart plunge into an abyss. He could barely stand.

“Courtney!” He yelled at his surroundings but received no response other than the howling of the chilly mountain breeze.

The blood on the ground made him frightful, and Alexander’s legs weakened. Holding onto the hood beside him, he crouched down slowly, knees hitting the cement pavement. His expensive custom-made pants were stained with mottled blood and dust from the ground.

Moonlight shone on the pool of blood, reflecting the ashen look on his face.
