"Watch out!" With sharp eyes and quick reflexes, Brandon immediately lunged at Janet.
The billboard slammed into the ground behind them, fragments flying everywhere. The people around screamed and scattered in all directions.
"What the hell? What just happened?"
"That billboard just fell! It could have hit someone!"
The riled-up passers-by broke into a heated discussion.
Janet looked up in the direction from which the billboard fell. Amidst the smoke and chaos, she caught a glimpse of a petite figure on the roof.
At first glance, this blurry figure looked just like Charis!
Janet didn't know if she was imagining things, but it looked like the woman was staring straight at her... She could even feel that the woman was smiling at her!
Brandon also raised his head to look in the direction of Janet's gaze.
"Who's up there?" Brandon frowned, squinting at the figure of the woman.
He wanted to go upstairs and chase after whoever did this.
"Don't go." Janet held his arm and stopped him.
The flying debris from earlier had scratched Brandon's hands and face. Janet felt bad seeing his wounds. "Let's go to the hospital first. You're injured."
Brandon didn't feel any pain. He wouldn't have known if Janet didn't tell him. This kind of injury was nothing to him.
Brandon looked behind him and several strong men in casual clothes rushed to his side immediately. They turned out to be his bodyguards in disguise!
Brandon pointed at the top of the building and ordered, "Go upstairs and find out who's behind this."
The three bodyguards leaped into action and ran upstairs as soon as they received the order.
But they found nothing.
Brandon wanted to keep searching, but Janet concluded, "Since your men couldn't find her, it means she has gotten away. And since she failed to kill us this time, she'll definitely try again. We'll find another chance to catch her."
