770  Chapter 769

Erin immediately turned to her. “What’s wrong?”

Keira suddenly glanced back at Darien and said, “He really did call Ellie at random, but there’s someone who can influence him!”

Keira stepped closer to Darien, asking, “The day you called Ellie, was Mollie with you?”

Darien paused, “Yeah, we’re practically together every day…”

Keira looked up at Erin.

Erin suddenly understood, “You mean… Mollie is the mastermind behind this?”

“Exactly! Where did she go?” Keira shot a glance at Ellie and Ryan.

Ryan immediately turned to the manager, who had just left with Mollie. The manager said, “We locked her in another room; I’ll go get her…”

They all followed the manager to the door of the room where Mollie was supposed to be. Ryan kicked the door open.

A thick cloud of smoke billowed out…

Everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses. Lewis even stepped in front of Keira, warily scanning the room.

Inside, it was a mess.

Two girls who had been with Mollie were unconscious, but Mollie was nowhere to be found!

The window was open, and as they waved the smoke away, Keira spotted several footprints outside.

Without hesitation, Keira leaped out the window, determined to chase after her!

There was still a chance to catch up!

As soon as she moved, Erin wanted to follow, but Lewis was faster, leaping out first.

The window was too small for more than one person at a time.

Once Lewis was gone, Erin tried to jump after him, but Ryan had already followed suit!

Erin thought, “Really?!”

By the time she got out, the two of them were already far ahead!

Frustrated, Erin stamped her foot! Seriously, can’t they let her be the sidekick to Keira?

Keira was running as fast as she could.

She could just make out Mollie’s silhouette ahead.

The bar was right by the road, and behind it was a row of small alleys—perfect for Mollie to escape into without being noticed.

Keira pushed herself harder to catch up.

But she was falling behind…

This alley had twists and turns, and Mollie could easily lose her.

At a crossroads, Keira saw Mollie’s form vanish from sight.

Just as she hesitated, Lewis and Ryan caught up to her.

Ryan, who looked like he rarely got involved in anything, was surprisingly keeping pace with Lewis, his face showing no signs of fatigue after all that running.

Keira quickly pointed to two of the three paths ahead. “You two, go that way! I’ll take this one!”

They split up; that should increase their chances of finding her.

Lewis said nothing but pulled something from his pocket and handed it to her before taking off in another direction!

Keira looked down to see it was a small, sleek gun!

She panicked and quickly tucked it away, not wanting to draw attention.

Just as she was about to chase after Mollie, Ryan suddenly called out, “Keira.”

Keira turned, puzzled. “You’re not coming?”

Ryan didn’t know what to say. How could he say no? He stepped forward and handed her something as well!

Looking down again, she found another compact, elegant gun. She blinked in surprise, but Ryan was already running in a different direction.

He called back, “I was raised with strict military training. Stay safe, Keira.”

With that, he disappeared down the path.

Keira was speechless.

She glanced at the two guns in her pockets, then took off running!

She couldn’t lose Mollie!

She might just hold the key to unraveling the South family’s secrets!

With determination fueling her, she sped up, and after three more streets, she caught sight of Mollie again!

Finally closing in!

Keira’s eyes lit up as she charged forward, grabbing Mollie’s shoulder!
