The Lost Heiress 355

Chapter 355 Shadows in the Woods.

Quinn thought it through carefully. She was almost certain Sierra must have overheard her late- night muttering and told Johnathan.

Still, Sierra likely hadn’t caught much. Otherwise, things wouldn’t be this quiet.

She’d thought she’d hidden it well–but Sierra had heard something after all.

Annoyance flashed in Quinn’s eyes. But she wasn’t someone who lost control easily. If she were, she wouldn’t have managed to fool everyone around her for so many years–not even Johnathan had seen through her.

Forcing herself to calm down, she began thinking about her next move.

Meanwhile, Johnathan had already met up with Mateo. Mateo had pulled an all–nighter without complaint. “I tracked the video you sent. Look at this,” he said, pulling up a frame from surveillance footage.

It was an image of the man leading Dora into a car.

“Don’t bother,” Mateo added. “The car’s using fake plates. And it vanished once it reached the outskirts–no more footage past that.”

Not every area was covered by surveillance. Out in the rural forests, there were blind spots.

Mateo enlarged one frame, showing half of the man’s face..

“it’s not Timothy,” Johnathan said flatly.

He’d seen Timothy before. This guy resembled him a little, but it wasn’t the same person.

“Then why would Dora go with him?” Mateo frowned, confused.

Johnathan didn’t answer right away. His fingers tapped rhythmically against the table. After a moment, he said, “Check if Quinn made any calls late last night.”

Mateo shot him a startled glance but did as asked.
