Chapter 1708: Seems to Like You

Joyce and Darrin left the Ballard Group mansion together.

Darrin started the car, and Joyce sat in the passenger seat as they sped away.

Inside the car, Joyce leaned her head against the window, gazing outside.

The night was pitch black, stretching endlessly into the distance. The moon was unusually large, radiating an eerie yellow glow, while the brilliance of the stars remained hidden. The howling wind whistled through the car windows, creating a hissing sound.

Darrin drove on a small road, and there were a few places without streetlights. Even with the high beams on, they could only illuminate a short distance ahead.
