North Shire.

Vivienne coldly stared at the old lady in front of her, standing tall and saying frostily, “Quit tailing me, please

The old lady looked back at her with a heartbroken expression. “Missy, lend me a hand, will you? Let me tag along with you to the city. I’m broke, lost my phone, and can’t reach my family:

I’m not a saint!” Vivienne retorted, her voice rising in frustration.

The biggest mistake of her life was offering a hand to this old lady without getting anything in return, only to find herself in a jam.

She had come down from Emerald Mountain this morning, planning to catch the first flight out to Havenwood, but soon after the descent, she ran into a couple of thugs giving the old lady a hard time and demanding stuff from her. After seeing the old lady’s pitiful state, she slipped the thugs a mickey and saved the old lady.

However, the old lady kept sticking to her like glue.

After finding out that the old lady’s home was in Rivenwood, she decided to play the good Samaritan and get the old lady on a plane to there since she was heading for the airport

She left the old lady behind and walked away, but the old lady stuck to her like glue.

No matter where she went, the old lady was right on her tail.

In the end, she had no choice but to take the old lady with her.

She initially wanted to ask Matthew to send a car to pick them up and take them to Havenwood, but considering the old lady’s odd situation, she didn’t want to expose Matthew, so she hired a cab herself.

On the way to Havenwood, the people chasing the old lady didn’t let up. Since she was in the taxi, she couldn’t use any drugs, so they drove right up to them.
