Crises in Love novel Chapter 143

Stepping out of the front door, I made my way across the street where the faint dim of a car's headlights flashed from the shadows of the tree-lined road. Without hesitation, I sprinted towards the vehicle, opened the car door, and climbed in.

The moment I shut the car door, I handed the bag to Logan, who was waiting inside the car. "Both are here," I exclaimed.

Without needing the passcodes, Logan took the bag, pulled out the cell phones, and swiftly unlocked them. His sharp mind never ceased to amaze me.

With a practiced ease, he quickly identified the private phone and browsed through its data which was beyond my competence. He then opened the back cover of the phone, placed a thin metal chip inside, and managed to restore it to its original state in no time.

After a quick test to ensure everything was working as it should, he set the phone aside and turned to me. "Does he always keep his bag close?" he asked.

"Most likely." I nodded in response.

Logan picked up the bag, inspected it, and then placed a tiny device into one of the compartments.

"All set." Logan handed the bag back to me.

"Is there a problem with that group chat?" I asked anxiously.

"We'll have to monitor them for a while, so I can't say for sure yet." Logan answered honestly, then added, "By the way, I can arrange a meeting with the partner you've been wanting to meet tomorrow. Is that okay?"

"That's fine. Whenever you can arrange it, I'll be ready," I said, excitement bubbling within me. "Is Addrion still there?"

"He's not. He's been admitted to the hospital for treatment. His health is in much worse condition than yours," Logan replied, "But don't worry about him, I'm sure he'll be back on his feet soon. You should be back now, just in case he gets suspicious."

"No worries, they'll sleep at least 4 hours. I've got it covered." I assured him confidently, "Could you do me another favor? I want to dig deeper into the relationship between Marissa and Jerome, and whose son is that kid? I saw Jerome picking up the kid. I have a feeling there's something behind this."

"OK." Logan agreed readily.
