His Dangerous Love

Chapter 71 Being Followed

Chapter 71 Being Followed

The shopping district Albert mentioned was nearby, so they arrived in just a few minutes. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Throughout the way, Albert kept an eye on the rearview mirror and occasionally took a few photos with his phone.

When Elianna parked the car, Albert got out first and made a phone call. He only put his phone away after she had parked the car.

"Are we going to LV or Chanel? Or do you have any favorite niche custom brands?"

As they entered through the revolving door, the scent of the mall greeted them along with a "welcome" from the greeter.

Elianna nodded slightly at the greeter and then teased Albert, "You seem quite familiar here. Do you often bring Jefferson's companions shopping here?"

Albert sensed the underlying meaning in Elianna's words and chuckled. "Nope, I learned this from my ex-girlfriends. Despite having many beautiful women around him, Jeff never gets into any of them."

Elianna smiled but didn't say anything. She didn't quite believe Albert's words.

Men like Jefferson, while extremely dangerous, were incredibly charming.

Even in the world of socialites, Jefferson's gossip was exceedingly popular.

She knew she shouldn't get involved, but she couldn't help but inquire about his news.

Yet, in any piece of gossip, he was never portrayed as a committed partner.

But that didn't affect her in any way.

Given their social status, they were destined for a fleeting romance.

To put it nicely, they each took what they needed.

To put it bluntly, it was merely a matter of taking advantage of his lingering interest in her body in exchange for some favorable benefits.

But she began to increasingly feel that it was a losing deal, even an extremely dangerous one.

One wrong move could spell utter disaster.

Inside the store, Elianna initially picked out just one dress, but under Albert's enthusiastic recommendations, she added a set of sporty clothes that had a slightly youthful vibe.

The outfit was more in line with her previous style than the current Ms. Gentry.

Yet when she looked at herself in the mirror, she inexplicably agreed to keep them and had the salesperson package it up.

While Albert went to pay, Elianna idly looked around. Through the store's glass door, she suddenly saw a figure wearing a baseball cap quickly passing by.

Elianna frowned.

Today wasn't a weekend, so the mall wasn't crowded.

Occasionally, there were shoppers leisurely strolling about, but few walked with such haste as that person.

Just as she was thinking, Albert returned, picking up the shopping bags for Elianna instinctively.

"What are you looking at, Ms. Gentry?"

She shifted her gaze back. "Nothing! I just saw someone acting strangely."

"Who? Where did they go?"

Albert suddenly became alert and it made Elianna nervous as well.

"What's going on?"

"To be honest, I felt like we were being followed when we got into the car."

Albert looked troubled. "But I checked around, and none of the potential troublemakers have made any moves recently. So I can't be sure if they're directed at me."

He muttered, "Even if they wanted to follow someone, it should be Jefferson, not me."

If it wasn't directed at Albert. Could it be...

Elianna pondered.

On the way back home, Elianna kept an eye on the rearview mirror.

However, Oakpool's traffic was heavy, even outside of rush hours. It was hard for her to tell if someone was following her.

Just one traffic light away from home, she suddenly changed direction.

At the same time, a discreet black Volkswagen also made the same turn behind her.

-

"They split up after leaving the mall? How is that possible?"

Kenley was extremely disappointed after hearing the private investigator's report.

But the next words from the investigator piqued her interest. "What? Where else did she go?"

"What is she doing there?"

Kenley couldn't figure it out. "Just keep following. You must find out what she is going to do there!"
