My Wife is a Hacker by Summer

Chapter 2886

She looked ahead, her eyes piercing the darkness.

Judging from the elevation she was at, she figured that the cliff might not be too far from where she stood.

Midway, Nicole stopped and pondered if there was still a way ahead.

She was wondering why Damien and the rest of his entourage had chosen to hole themselves up in a place that was so isolated and claustrophobic.

All of a sudden, she heard some rustling noises emanating from the thick, lush vegetation before her.

Startled, she darted off the trail she was on and hid herself behind the thicket to her right, and there, she carefully observed the movements of the silhouettes ahead.

"Let's stay here for a few days.We can leave once things have simmered down," a man said with a hint of caution in his voice.

"Why don't we just leave now?" another voice asked.

Upon hearing the second voice, Nicole's eyes widened.

‘Isn't that Damien? Patricia was following him, but why isn't she here?’ Nicole wondered.

As their footfalls grew louder, Nicole crouched over and looked through the gaps in the thicket, trying not to place herself in their direct line of sight.

As expected, two figures emerged from the grove up ahead, of whom one was Damien.
