Sally looked over at Natalie.

Natalie nodded in response.

Only then did Sally say, "All right, Ms. Cohen."

"Just call me Lina," she replied as she patted Sally on the shoulder.

Sally noticed that Lina was nothing like the other famous designers she knew. She did not look down on people. On the contrary, Lina was very friendly and, most importantly, she was very fond of Sally. Because of this, Sally gradually loosened up. With a heavy nod, she answered, "Okay, Lina."

Seeing the two get along, Natalie smiled. "Okay, you two. Let's get going. We shouldn't dilly dally here."

"Yes, let's go," Lina agreed.

The three of them exited the airport and headed to the parking lot.

As soon as they entered the elevator, two hidden figures stepped out from the lounge on the second floor. They stood by the railings and stared down at the three women who were walking away. "Are we still not allowed to leave this city?" asked the petite woman in frustration.

The taller man beside her narrowed his eyes. "Shane has blocked off all exits. Plus, he has the governor's support. There's no way for us to leave."

"I don't want to be here anymore. People search for us high and low every day. We are nothing more than mice scurrying on the street. I am tired of living like this. If this goes on, we will eventually get caught. We need to get out of here as soon as possible." Jacqueline pounded her fist on the railing.

Sean snorted coldly. "Do you think I'm staying here by choice?"

"Aren't you? After all, Natalie is here," Jacqueline replied mockingly.

Hearing this, Sean shot her a glare.

Jacqueline instantly realized that she had angered him. With her head lowered, she muttered reluctantly, "Sorry."

"You should be glad you didn't say much. Otherwise, I might have flung you off this floor," Sean said flatly. After that, he turned to head back to the lounge.

Jacqueline looked down from the railing. Although it was only one floor's distance, it was still at least a dozen meters tall.

Her body was already weak. If he threw her down, she would most definitely not survive.

Thinking of this, Jacqueline paled. Hatred bubbled inside her. She took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. Then she quickly turned to catch up to Sean.

"Sean, do you have any idea how we can get out of here?" she asked as she ran up to him.

Sean lowered his gaze to meet hers. "Of course I do, but it's not the right time yet."

"So we still need to wait even more?" Jacqueline was clearly not happy with his answer. She bit her lip. "If we keep dragging things on like this, we're really going to get caught. If we can't use the main exits, then let's stow away on a boat or use a helicopter or something."

"Shane already knows you're no longer in J City. It's not hard for him to realize that you will try to sneak out of the city. Do you really think they won't carry out searches on the ships?"

"I..." Jacqueline coughed lightly. She could not argue with his logic.

Clenching her fists, she knew that there was only one option left. "What about a helicopter?"

"No can do. There are patrols being carried out in the sky every day. Even private flights will need to be searched," Sean replied calmly.

Jacqueline stomped her feet. "Ugh. Nothing works! We're really going to be stuck here forever."

"I already told you to just give it some time. I have a plan," Sean said as he narrowed his eyes.

Jacqueline rubbed her face harshly. "I guess that's the only choice I have. Do you plan on bringing Natalie along when we eventually leave?"

"No rush. I will bring her, but not now." Sean briefly rubbed the front pocket on his chest with a mysterious gaze.

Seeing this, Jacqueline shot him an odd look. What could be in that pocket? Why is he always touching it?

Either way, she knew that it had to be something very important to him.

There had to be a way for her to replace out. If she did, maybe she could even use it to blackmail him.

Thinking of this, Jacqueline lowered her head. She did not want him to see through her.
