When Cory thought he could lower his guard, he noticed something was amiss.
As a professional investigator whose duty was to stalk people, he immediately realized a group of men was tailing him.
I knew he would not spare me so easily. He must be desperate to get some leads from me.
A corner of Cory's lips quirked up. He looked back, glanced at the men and the corners they were hiding, and turned around quickly. He then pretended nothing had happened and walked away casually.
Now that he was aware of these people, he had to be extra cautious and not give his secrets away.
Besides, he could still threaten Aubree to pay him money with the photo in his hands.
Cory did not contact Aubree in the next few days to avoid arousing suspicion.
Aubree had not received any updates from the private investigator since the day Roxanne and the others went camping.
She tried calling him but to no avail.
Aubree, too, began to realize something was fishy.
The private investigator she hired was the cream of the crop in the industry and had a reputation for being avaricious.
Aubree believed he would not disappear without any reason since she had yet to pay him in full. They must have found out who he is.
Aubree's heart skipped a beat when that thought crossed her mind. She gritted her teeth and deleted the number from her contact list.
She did not think Roxanne was alert enough to expose the private investigator.
The only person capable of exposing Cory's identity, she reckoned, was Lucian.
All leads would eventually point to her should Lucian continue with his investigations.
