    Reba didn''t really think she could escape, did she?


    As soon as she used her card, Nathaniel would know exactly where she was.


    He sat on the couch, and his eyes gleamed with malice.


    This time, when he brought Reba back, he would chain her up, ensuring she could never escape again.


    ...


    Drake quickly caught wind of Reba''s flight.


    He raised an eyebrow and muttered, "What an idiot."


    Back when she was in Saintornia, his men couldn''t move against her. But now that she had run off, it was the perfect opportunity for him.


    A woman who dared to y him? He would never let her off the hook.


    What''s more, she knew far too much about his past.


    Although she had been silent for the past five years, letting her remain out there with all his secrets... he couldn''t stand for that.


    The only ones who could keep a secret were the dead.


    "Find her. I don''t want her to live much longer," Drake ordered.


    "Yes, sir!" his men said in unison.


    Reba spent three days on the bus before finally getting off in a small county called Haewana.


    Haewana was over 1,000 kilometers from Saintornia, and she had switched buses several times along the way. Nathaniel should have a hard time finding her.


    The problem was, she didn''t have much cash, so she couldn''t afford a hotel. She also couldn''t use her bank card. If she did, Nathaniel would track her down.


    Fortunately, renting a ce in Haewana wasn''t too expensive. She used the few hundred dors she had to rent a small apartment, finally securing a ce to stay.


    After settling in, Reba''s first move was to contact Sullivan. Rather than calling him, she sent a message. Reba: [Sullivan, transfer 300,000 dors to me immediately, or I''ll send all your criminal evidence to Damon.]


    Sullivan replied almost instantly.


    Sullivan: [Where are you now?]


    Reba: [What? Are you trying to find me to silence me?]


    Sullivan: [Stop ndering me. If you hadn''t threatened me, I wouldn''t have been forced to act first.]


    Reba: [I don''t want to waste time with you. You have half an hour. Transfer 300,000 dors to me, or I''ll send you to jail today.] Reba had learned a little about Sullivan''s activities over the years. His savings were probably around 300,000 dors right now. She hadn''t wanted to go this far, but since Sullivan had already cut off all her escape routes, she felt no guilt in taking his money. Sullivan: [I don''t have that much money.]


    Reba: [That''s your problem. If I don''t see the money in half an hour, I''ll send everything to Damon.]


    Sullivan: [Where are you? Let''s meet, and I''ll give you the money.]


    Reba sneered when she saw this. She''d be a fool to trust Sullivan now.

    Reba: You don''t need to know where Lam. I''m not in Saintornia- anymore. You have 29 minutes left. Do you want to keep wasting time?]

    After sending the message, she set her phone aside and ignored Sullivan.


    Sullivan sent several more messages. When he received no reply, he tried to appeal to her emotions, but she still didn''t respond.


    Reba didn''t see his messages. Even if she had, she wouldn''t have replied.


    After all, the money she had


    transferred from the Preston Group had already been reimed by Nathaniel. Now, she was nning to extort Sullivan before fleeing the country. Once she left, no one would be able to find her.


    As for the evidence of Sullivan''s crimes, she had set it to send automatically. It would be


    delivered
