Chapter 180

Mira flushed scarlet at his curt reply. Before she could say anything, Silas' voice cut through the air. "Mr. White, we're being followed." Mira turned quickly, and sure enough, several cars were tailing them closely. Keane's tone was firm. "It looks like our route back from White Manor's been exposed." Mira grew tense. "Should we call the police?" There were at least seven or eight cars behind them, while they were on their own. Lucius remained perfectly calm. "Stay on the same route." He kept his hands on his phone, typing another message to Valerie. "Should we eat out for dinner tonight?" Three minutes later, a voice message came back. "Stop texting me. I'm busy." Silas, gripping the steering wheel, fell silent. Only Valerie, fierce and unshakable, could get away with speaking to Lucius like that. Keane, on the other hand, tried not to laugh. Valerie, as tiny as she was, always managed to put Lucius in his place. She had a knack for making him back down every single time.
