After a moment, the Mercedes-Benz hastily drove off. Vera Wave, hiding in an alley and watching it leave, breathed a sigh of relief.
She took her cell phone out of her bag, switched it on, and quickly accessed her inbox to send a text to Isla Hawskin. As soon as the text was sent, the cell phone automatically shut down. It hadn't been used for a long time, so its battery was already very low.
Shrugging, Vera walked out of the alley. She glanced up at the sun, then brought a hand to her stomach. Having only had a bowl of white porridge that morning, she was now incredibly hungry. Spotting a small restaurant by the roadside, she quickly went in, ordered a meal, and ate ravenously.
When Kris Cooper rushed into the Glimmer CEO Office, Isla had just hung up the phone with Vera. Seeing a shadow flash before her, she looked up in confusion. Before she could discern what was happening, Kris Cooper had already swiped her cell phone.
