Chapter 302 Being Hunted Down
Chapter 302 Being Hunted Down
Aurora had all sorts of suspicions before, but when the truth was laid bare in front of her, she couldn't
help but feel shocked and angry.
Why did Nevaeh do this?
For Sion?
But what about Morgan? Morgan was just a child. Was it worth it for Nevaeh to go through all this
trouble for him too?
Thinking about these things, Aurora shuddered.
This woman was too terrifying. Nevaeh had done so much, yet she had fooled everyone with her acting
skills. If it weren't for their chance encounter at the airport parking lot last time, Aurora wouldn't have
thought about these things about her.
How could she be so cruel?
Aurora took a deep breath and suppressed her fear and resentment. She decided to call the police.
Nevaeh deserved to pay the price. It was not fair that she could get away with it for too long.
She would let the law take its course.
Meanwhile, Nevaeh was sitting on the sofa thinking back on Sion's uneasy expression earlier. She felt
like he must have discovered something important because if there were any issues he would usually
ask directly. If he didn't ask anything, did that mean he didn't find anything out after all?
However, Nevaeh couldn't be completely sure either way, given how indifferent Sion was towards her
lately. She no longer knew him well enough anymore as his personality changed over time. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Her face twisted into knots as she muttered to herself from time to time, looking lost in thought like
someone who was going insane. Her anxiety grew stronger until finally, she decided to call him up right
away.
Suddenly something came across her mind causing panic inside of her-Sion had been on her balcony
earlier.
Nevaeh felt a sudden sense of dread as she ran over there within three steps or less.
The balcony was filled with many potted plants arranged neatly on several shelves. However, despite
searching around them, she couldn't find the thing she wanted to see.
Nevaeh slammed both hands onto the railing while screaming hysterically with an expression full of fury
and frustration.
When Jeff gave her the necklace he snatched from Sion's assistant, Nevaeh casually placed it on the
flower stand with disdain.
But now the necklace was gone.
Other than Sion, she couldn't think of another person who would take it. Now, everything made sense.
He could have found out the truth about that necklace and become suspicious of her. If he confirmed
that Jeff had taken the necklace, she would be in big trouble.
Nevaeh held her head in agony as memories flashed through her mind. She couldn't just sit around
waiting for something bad to happen. In no time, she quickly packed up her things; she had to leave
before Sion found out everything or else he wouldn't spare her.
Then she stuffed some clothes into a suitcase along with her ID and headed straight for the door with a
loud slam behind her. Everything fell silent as if nothing had ever happened.
Meanwhile, Sion was still in his car, which shook uncontrollably while driving forward until finally
crashing into some greenery before getting stuck in the mud. Its wheels spin frantically but were unable
to move the car from the mud.
After some time passed by, the car ran out of gas eventually.
Sion's face darkened more than ever before as anger bubbled up inside him. He unbuckled his seat
belt and then got off the car, only to fall immediately due to slipping on yellowish dirt that smeared his
leather shoes. The mud puddle was not deep but it still caused him some trouble.
Sion got out of the mud puddle after taking deep breaths.
He suspected it was Nevaeh.
He looked towards where his car came from, but he couldn't find a reason for her to do so.
Immediately, he gave David a call with a grim expression and sat down on the side, looking around
while waiting.
As he received Sion's call, David was in the middle of arranging for someone to investigate the stolen
necklace, so he couldn't rush over right away. When he finally arrived, he saw his boss sitting there
covered in mud as if he had fallen into a ditch.
He was shocked and quickly asked, "Mr Carroll! What happened?"
If only he had known it would be this bad, he would have rushed over no matter what.
Sion gave him a cold glance and stood up without saying anything before walking towards the car.
"..."
David suddenly felt chills running down his spine and hurriedly followed after him.
"Mr Carroll, where are we going now?"
"Home."
"Yes."
When they arrived home it was already late afternoon. Sion walked into the house but startled Donna
when she saw him.
"Sion! What happened? Did you fall into a ditch?"
She had been working in the Carroll family for so many years but had never seen Sion look so terrible
before.
Meanwhile, Theodore followed behind Donna and couldn't help feeling happy inside.
However, he asked, "Daddy, what happened to you? Did you fall?"
Sion's previously gloomy face softened slightly. He said, "It's nothing, don't worry about me." He
instinctively reached out to pat Theodore's head but withdrew upon seeing how dirty his hands were.
Then he said to Donna, "There was an accident. I'll take a shower first."
He appeared like a vagrant now so he directly headed to the bathroom.
Theodore watched as his father walked into the bathroom with such an ominous expression, feeling
elated again.
He relaxed completely then turned towards Donna saying, "Donna don't worry about him. Maybe he
just fell into a ditch or something, there's no danger."
Donna exchanged glances with David, both feeling that something seemed off here.
When Sion finished washing up, an hour had already passed. He hadn't even had a chance to dry his
hair when David suddenly rushed over from the balcony, sounding anxious. "Mr Carroll, bad news!"
"What's going on?"
"Miss Burns is being hunted down by the police. The whole city's media is reporting on it."
Sion froze in shock at the news.
"Nevaeh is being hunted down?"
