Meanwhile, Joyce flashed into a private room from the corridor on the third floor, then from the back door on the other side of the private room, into another corridor. Finally, she went along the usual delivery channel and got directly down to the backyard on the first floor.
She had previously studied the architectural drawings of the interior of Riveria Haze carefully in order to set Charlotte up, which Karl had given her. She did it just to have a quick retreat just in case, and she didn't expect it to really come in handy.
Riveria Haze was so big inside that they would not be able to find her for a while.
When she got to the backyard, she saw Karl's car parked right there.
She rushed over, opened the passenger door and got in quickly.
"Sorry, I’m late for a few minutes. What..."
Before Joyce could finish her words, Karl had already slammed down the gas pedal, not even waiting for Joyce to fasten her seat belt.
With a swoosh he turned the car around sharply and drove out of Riveria Haze.
His expression was extraordinarily grave, and his handsome face now looked extremely serious. His long eyebrows was deeply furrowed. It was obviously not something the word urgency could describe.
Joyce's body lurched straight forward because of inertia.
Karl extended his arm in time to block Joyce, "Sorry, we don’t have much time. Hurry up and fasten your seat belt."
He said as he drove the car onto the expressway.
Joyce fastened her seat belt and felt Karl's extraordinarily depressed mood, so she hurriedly expressed her concern, "What's wrong?"
"Joyce, something big has happened. Just now, the analysis center in Khebury has been blown up. Fortunately, it's a weekend, otherwise I don't dare to think how many lives would have been lost. The news should have come out already. Read it for yourself!"
