Chapter 1770: She’s their problem now

When Cassandra and Grace reached the parking space, they spotted a man idling around Grace’s car. He seemed to be inspecting something around the vehicle, making Cassandra slow down.

"Uh..." Cassandra walked closer to Grace, her eyes on the man. "Attorney, who is he? Do you know him?"

Grace glanced at her but didn’t answer until she reached her vehicle. The man was already facing them, his eyes darting between them quietly.

"I didn’t know you guys were still here," Grace said to the guy. "Do you guys sleep? Or does Penny just work you all to death?"

Cassandra furrowed her brows and glanced at Grace. "Penny?"

"Yeah. He’s one of the guys Penny sent for my security," Grace casually replied, eyeing the man, Mylo. "He’s kinda weird, but she trusts him."

Grace cleared her throat and addressed Mylo. "We’re leaving. Don’t you dare stop us."

Without a word, Mylo reached for the backseat door and opened it for them. He stepped to the side, his eyes on the women.

"I’ll drive," he said flatly. "The road isn’t safe at the moment."

Grace didn’t dwell on it much as she raised an eyebrow briefly before sliding into the backseat. Cassandra hesitated, but followed. Once both women were inside, Mylo casually walked around the car and climbed into the driver’s seat.

With that, the three of them drove off toward the orphanage to ask some questions.
