"I understand." Hope Williams nodded, somewhat dazed, and took a few steps forward.
Liam Cloud raised his hand and stopped her, "Where are you going?"
"...Going home."
Liam Cloud frowned, "You're walking the wrong way. Your driver is over there!"
Hope Williams blinked lightly, "Alright."
She then walked in the direction Liam Cloud had indicated.
Watching her demeanor, Liam Cloud couldn't feel at ease. He grabbed Hope Williams's hand, walked her to the car, and opened the door.
In a low voice, he said, "Get in. I'll take you home."
"No need..."
"I'm not negotiating. Get in."
Forced to comply, Hope Williams turned and got into the car. Liam Cloud got in from the other side.
The car sped off.
In another corner, several pairs of eyes stared intensely.
"Brother River, the woman left. Aren't we following her?"
"Follow her?! Don't you see who she's with?"
