Chapter 197: Nothing Happened

• It was now 7:50 pm, and it was getting quite dark outside. Eve was becoming frantic because she still had not received any word at all from Scarlett. She grew increasingly worried and began sweating profusely. After a second thought, she decided to call Francis because she feared that something bad had really happened to Scarlett. What if she lost the race? The earlier she called Francis, the better Scarlett’s chances of surviving this dangerous deal. She cursed herself for having let Scarlett cut this stupid deal to begin with.
• It’s Eve, Francis. I’m calling you because Scarlett is in trouble. Or at least I think she might be....”
• Upon hearing that, Francis instantly sat up and asked worriedly, “What happened? Is she okay? Tell me what’s going on. I need to know all the details. Don’t leave anything out.”
