On the other hand, Maria breathed a sigh of relief as Michelle’s car pulled away, but her sense of calm was short-lived.

Angela let out a sudden exclamation, jolting Maria out of her reverie.

“What’s wrong?” Maria asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Angela’s gaze locked onto something behind Maria, and as she turned to look, she saw Charlie walking alongside Nanako.

A cold sweat broke out on the back of her neck as Maria’s heart raced with fear.

She quickly shut her mouth and instinctively covered her nose with her hand, terrified that Charlie would spot her.

Maria knew she had to remain hidden at all costs.

She couldn’t risk being caught by Charlie. She felt a surge of panic rising in her chest as she tried to steady her breathing and calm her nerves.

She couldn’t let Charlie find her.

At this time, Michelle drove past Charlie and he instinctively pulled Nanako behind him to protect her from the car.

The two women in the car noticed this kind gesture.

At that moment, Michelle asked, “Miss Lombardo, are you alright?”

Angela shook her head subconsciously and couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Charlie’s back.

She whispered awkwardly, “Michelle, let’s drive quickly.

I’m hungry too.”

At this time, Charlie, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Nanako, suddenly felt a strong beating in his pocket.

He subconsciously covered his trouser pocket with his hand, frowned slightly, and thought to himself, “Strange, why is this broken ring convulsing again?”

Nanako was originally following Charlie, but when she saw him suddenly stop and frown, she hurriedly asked him, “Mr. Wade, what’s wrong?”

Charlie said with a confused face, “I don’t know…”

As he spoke, he subconsciously took out the ring. As he held the object between his fingers, it quivered as if it were held by someone with Parkinson’s disease.
