A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2824

Although Jessica's newfound information sounded unreliable, Larry took his chances in hopes that it would lead them to Joan. He figured that he would at least give it one try regardless of what the outcome would be.

"I'm tailing her now. I'll text you my location in a bit," Jessica informed before getting into her car and speeding after Joan.

Ahead, Joan's car drove continuously. Fortunately, it meant that no one inside had realized that they were being followed.

"That woman. It seemed like she knows me," Joan stated with a straight face.

The housemaid noticed this as well but insisted that the woman must have mistaken Joan for someone else.

Is that so? An unfathomable expression crossed Joan's face.

After a long while, the driver took a sudden turn in a different direction after realizing that a car had been tailing them for quite some time.

"What's happening here? Why aren't we going home?"

"We're being followed, Ms. Watts," the driver reported right away.

Joan's head whipped around and saw that they were indeed being followed. A grayish shade of grim shrouded over her face. Is it the woman from earlier? Her brows knitted.

Meanwhile, Jessica drove mercilessly as she trailed right behind Joan's speeding car. The air was tense as neither of the two cars was ready to accept defeat. In the final moments, Joan's driver floored the accelerator, and their car propelled further away.

At this, Jessica helplessly watched as they escaped. Her cheeks warmed in anger whilst she held back a curse. This wasn't the reunion she had in mind; she hadn't properly reunited with and received a hug from Joan who she had so dearly missed.

Larry arrived not long after.

"Where is she?" he uttered in between heavy breaths.

"They got away," came Jessica's glum response.

All hope drained from Larry's face at once.
