Chapter 1815 The Note

I didn’t really know how to explain the situation, so I handed the phone back to Emery instead. Afterthat, I said, “It’s a long story, but I’ll need to return all the items we bought earlier.”

“There’s no need to be in such a hurry. Shopping is supposed to be a relaxing event, and if we rushover like that, the entire experience won’t be relaxing,” replied Emery. Her words were calm andphilosophical, and she looked graceful when she sipped some coffee.

The way she acted made it impossible for the burning rage inside me to survive. In a way, I had nochoice but to follow her suit and enjoyed the exquisite coffee.

Just then, a couple of rich men’s wives entered the cafe. One of the more observant wives saw Emeryand me sitting at our table, which was out in the open. The observant wife came over to say, “Hi, Ms.Moore and Mrs… Ah, sorry, I mean, Ms. Stovall. What a coincidence. Do you both like this cafe aswell?”

Emery was practically a professional when it came to small talks. She grinned and replied, “Yeah, thisplace is quite nice, and the environment is great.”

One of the cafe’s main attractions was its serene environment and silent ambiance.

Most could tell that Emery had no intention of sharing the table with anyone.

Unfortunately, the woman who greeted us was socially blind. She walked to the seat beside Emery andsat right down. To make matters worse, the former showed no hesitance when she said, “Please movefurther in, Ms. Moore. We have too many people here.”

Emery’s expression took a sharp change, and she looked infuriated. Still, she was forced into theinnermost part and couldn’t even stretch her legs.

I suffered the same fate as she did.

With ladies squeezing in from both sides, it was impossible for me to even catch a breath. Emery and Iturned to one another, and I imagined I looked just as hopeless as she did at that moment.

We were signaling to each other and were about to sneak away when someone gently nudged my rightfoot.

I instinctively shifted my gaze over and realized that the woman sitting on my right had put her handover. She had a note with her at the time. The second she realized that she had gotten my attention,she dropped the note onto my skirt.

While all that was playing out under the table, the mysterious woman leaned in as though everythingwas fine. She acted like she had been paying close attention to the gossip shared.

I didn’t bother analyzing anything and was quick to hold that note in my palm. After that, I stood up andshouted, “Enough! Goodness, you people are noisy. Move aside, I’m leaving.”

Emery turned to me and stared as though she was looking at an angel from heaven. Her eyes shonewith appreciation and respect as she stood up soon after and helped me. “You heard her. Get the hellout of here, you socially blind idiots!”

Our outbursts frightened the others and forced them to make way for us.

We left the cafe right then. Following the restroom signage above my head, I then dragged Emery withme.

The first thing I did was to check every stall and make sure that no one else was inside. Only then did Ireveal the note to Emery.

“Where did you get that from?” asked Emery nervously as she stopped fixing her makeup.

I answered honestly. “It’s from one of the ladies who barged in.”

“Ah, everything makes sense now. I was wondering how a rich woman from K City could be thatsocially blind. It turns out that it’s all just part of their plan,” murmured Emery. “Go on. Read the note.”

I unfolded the note to read the content. “Map received. The analysis is in progress. Call the followingnumber if an emergency occurs.”

The map was a huge clue, and I could more or less guess who the note was from. “Benson sent them.”

“Benson? As in Alexander’s brother?” asked Emery.

I nodded and replied, “Yeah. Nathaniel brought me to an island once, and that island is where hemanufactures all of his products. I memorized the general location and had Alexander share thelocation with Benson.”

Emery nodded without saying anything else.

The situation had me thinking for a while and prompted me to say, “Emery, borrow me your phone.Nathaniel’s bank account might contain some information that could help Benson with his investigation.I’ll send him a photo of the card Nathaniel gave me.”

I did all that and memorized the emergency number before flushing the note down the toilet. After that,Emery and I left the restroom as though everything was fine.

We didn’t want to raise any suspicion, so we browsed another mall and made some small talks withsome friends before we headed home.

Emery didn’t stay after dropping me off. She claimed that Summer was asking for her, so I didn’t makeEmery stay, either.
