Chapter 10: Following Her All the Way

Lillian Veblen looked into the car window with a puzzled expression.

The dark tint on the windows made it impossible for her to see who was inside.

Turning her head, she continued walking forward.

To her surprise, the car did not immediately drive away; instead, it seemed to deliberately move slowly, following closely behind her.

Lillian Veblen frowned and glanced back, noticing an unfamiliar license plate, which confirmed that she didn't know the person inside.

Deciding to ignore it, she continued her slow descent down the mountain.

However, it would take at least an hour for her to walk out of this area and reach the bus station at the foot of the mountain.

By the time she got to the company, she would definitely be late.

Being late didn't matter much, as the company where Lillian Veblen worked was part of her father's group. Whether she went or not was irrelevant; she only showed up there to make an appearance, without any real work to do.

But recently, Lillian Veblen had started a live streaming channel online, and whenever she had free time, she would stream to pass the time.

Checking the time, she realized it was her usual streaming hour. She was currently building her fan base and couldn't let them down.

So, Lillian Veblen quickly took out her phone and opened the live stream.

As soon as her flushed, sweaty face appeared on the screen, her long-awaited fans erupted in excitement, bombarding her with questions.

Audience A: "Host, did you just finish exercising? Why are you all sweaty?"

Audience B: "Bedroom exercise?"

Audience C: "All that sweat must be fragrant!"

Audience D: "Wow, does the host have a boyfriend now?"

Audience E: "The host looks so pretty and charming like this."

"Danglang" - Audience F sent 99 flowers.

Audience B sent 66 flowers.

More questions about whether she had just finished some kind of exercise before starting the stream followed. Lillian Veblen glanced at the viewer count, which was steadily rising, and the gifts kept pouring in.

With the microphone on, Lillian Veblen blushed and explained.

"You guys are too naughty! I just walked to work today, and it was a hot and sweaty trek."

She then held up her phone to show the surroundings to her fans.

The fans expressed their disappointment, sighing for a while.

Although there were still gifts, the number clearly decreased.

Lillian Veblen decided to sing a song to cheer everyone up.

Smiling, she hummed a tune while continuing her live stream and walking down the mountain.

Completely engrossed in the joy of interacting with her fans, she failed to notice the expensive black Bentley that had been following her the entire time.

It wasn't until her phone was almost out of battery that she said goodbye to her fans and ended the stream.

At that moment, the Bentley pulled up in front of Lillian Veblen and stopped.

The rear window slowly rolled down, revealing a familiar and composed handsome face.

Lillian Veblen was stunned. How could it be him?

Bernard Coleridge, with his stern and imposing demeanor, commanded, "Get in the car."

Lillian Veblen's eyelids twitched. Did he follow her the whole time and even watch her live stream?

"No need for the trouble!" She said, her lips curling in annoyance, and without a second thought, she turned and ran.

Bernard Coleridge watched the slender figure that always fled at the sight of him. He calmly took a cigarette and placed it between his lips, his movements practiced and steady, the smoke instantly swirling around his handsome face.

Lillian Veblen ran as fast as she could, fearing that Bernard Coleridge might catch up. He was like a flood or a beast, and she wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.

She hadn't recognized the black Bentley as his new car, which is why she had let her guard down.

After running for a while and finally shaking off the man, Lillian Veblen, panting, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, just about to catch her breath.

The black Bentley sped up again, screeching to a halt right in front of her.
