147 Burn The Midnight Oil

Scarlett’s POV

Damian Vanderbilt left with Oliver Scott. All I know is the name Grey, not even their car plates. So if I want to do anything, following them is my only chance.

“Change of plan!” I drag Lucas out of there, “How’s your driving skill comparing to Adrian’s?”

“Basically the same,” Lucas frowns in confusion, “Enough to meet your needs. I know about your car sick situation–”

“Can you do a car chase?” I cut him off, pointing at the car leaving the Fuller’s gate, “Follow that car!” We almost lost them in the middle. Well, actually we did. I don’t know who was driving in that car, but their driving style changed midway as they apparently noticed us following, and we lost them after they entered a tunnel. I don’t know where they came from, and I don’t know where they are going. I don’t even know whether it’s really my Lilith. But he is a lawyer and Lilith just got into a law firm. I can’t help but make that connection.

“That’s not the same as Adrian at all!” I complain when their car is nowhere to be found.

“Our target is not an ordinary–” Lucas rolls his eyes as he protests, only to stop halfway, “Okay, no matter. Since we lost the target anyway, can you tell me what this is about? So this girl, she is seen at a place they don’t expect her to be normally, but you felt that she might be in some sort of danger?”

Yeah, but why? I blink in confusion. Why did I assume she was in danger?
