"Mercy!""Mercy, Mr. Mark!"Several times, the muffled cry from the mouth of the old hulking man begged Mark, holding Bobby's back, to stay prone on the road.Aileen had already arrived, standing next to Mark, clutching her chest as her breathing raced.It had been a long time since she had run as fast as she had just done. Oh my! Her heart and lungs felt like they were going to burst with nervousness and exertion."Where are you going, Mr. Bobby?" asked Mark, who then grabbed both of the man's hands with a single jerk and pulled them behind him to give the impression that he could not move.Several people who had been watching the running scene looked over curiously. What was going on? Had a chicken thief been caught? Several guesses surfaced, forcing them to crowd around Aileen and Mark, who seemed to be holding a helpless man.Aileen immediately called the police and asked for help in catching the criminal."Mr. Bobby, just admit what you did. The law will take care of everything.

"What?""Are you serious?"Lucas was shocked by the report he had just heard from Mark."I'll talk to Dad later. Don't tell him. You're too heartless to care about Dad's heart condition!" Mark warned Lucas.He reported his latest progress to Lucas."And I'm asking for a little more time to catch them all. Once all four are arrested. You won't have any reason to close the branch office, will you?"Mark said what he was told, and Aileen waited anxiously beside him. She listened to every word they said because, this time, Mark was deliberately speaking into the loudspeaker.Occasionally, Mark squeezed Aileen's fingers in front of him. The look on Aileen's face really touched him. Maybe it was the same as when he was so afraid that the orphanage he grew up in would be evicted.Yes, at that time, he had also been adopted by Mr. Alex Howard. However, he was still reluctant because the place was still the most comfortable home for most of his siblings in the orphanage. It was a reluctant fee
Between Love and Scandal 26. Permission To Search
"We need to search William's private residence. There must be records of his cash flow. I'm sure we'll find that the destination of the money flow is Mr. Leigner's account." Mark said as the two of them walked quickly back to the parking lot."The police are taking too long. In the name of procedure, evidence can disappear before it can be found. Damn it!" Mark chirped again.Aileen followed Mark's long strides. She still did not feel well. But her stomach was already screaming for food. Mark was completely insensitive. The man forgot to eat and drink while working on something."Is that the sound of your stomach?"Mark stopped spontaneously and looked closely into Aileen's eyes.Aileen just scowled."I haven't eaten yet, I've been running around after that, using up all my energy. I'm hungry!""Cih! Let's eat outside later!" Mark walked all the way to where his bike was parked.But he turned into a restaurant a short time into the ride."Eat a lot. We have a lot of work to do!" Mark
Between Love and Scandal 27. The Search For Laura
Meanwhile, Laura, who was also on the run, struggled with the search team led by Mr. Ben.A black car appeared on the street and tried to break through the traffic jam. Inside, a ponytailed Laura, dressed in a bright black blouse, was terrified. Her heart was pounding as a train passed in front of her.She couldn't wait to get away from this place. This place had become a scourge for her, not only because of being chased by several people but also because of an incident that dragged her name as a suspect.The girl's eyes occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror, hoping that a car that looked like a fairly large van was not following her. She was relieved when she didn't see the car in the mirror.But when the train passed, the girl named Laura didn't want to waste any time. She stepped on the accelerator as hard as possible and drove through the streets leading to the port.She ignored the street children cleaning her car with their duster, the vendors offering unique toys, the beg
Between Love and Scandal 28. Hiding
Just as they had expected. The black car pulled into the harbor. As they had planned, as soon as Laura was on the deck, Evan and David ran to the car and knocked on Laura's window.Laura didn't move. She took a breath and let it out roughly. Her plan to escape failed as she was caught by the men of her company. But Laura needed ideas.Her eyes scanned the area again. Laura was deliberately buying time so that she could run free without being caught. Then she smiled mischievously. Suddenly, she had an idea of how to escape. She opened the window."Hey, you! Excuse me, can I open my door? I hope you can walk a little behind or in front of me. Can you?"David complied. He immediately stepped forward and let her open the door. Once the door was open, Laura quickly ran past the cars that were starting to park in the lot. Meanwhile, David picked up his HT and reported that the target was about to escape.The men immediately gathered. They split up when they saw Laura already in the middle o

Meanwhile, Mark and Aileen returned to Mark's apartment. They plopped down on the long sofa in the front room where no one but Aileen had ever sat."Oh my! This is so hard to handle! If I were Mrs. Liana--""No way! You can't say that without actually being her." Mark cut off Aileen's naive words."Laura always thinks that way. She's so sure that if she does this, she'll do that. Ish, but it's not necessarily the case that if she experienced it herself, she would be able to behave the way she talks about!"Aileen, feeling cornered, made a face."Geez, why don't you just listen to me? You're just blaming me for being human! Ish!""What the hell? Am I wrong? That's the truth!""Yes, but there's no need to clarify it either. I didn't mean what I said either," Aileen said defensively."Well, admit it, right! If you didn't mean it, why did you say it? You're forcing me to listen anyway! It's better if what you hear are facts. This is just a baseless characterization!" Mark continued to acc
Between Love and Scandal 30. Sneaking
The night was falling. The sky was reddened with darkness, and the clouds were hanging as if they were about to rain down on the earth. The fan sounded even louder in a room that was just a little smaller. But that didn't stop Laura from falling asleep in her dreams.Her body felt so tired after a long day of avoiding the pursuit of big men. Her eyes were so sleepy that she could not keep them open.During her exhaustion, she dreamed that the men had captured her and taken her to a dark torture chamber. There, she was tied to a chair with a rope, and the men began to surround and abuse her.Laura screamed that night, broke out in a cold sweat, and was very frightened. Soon, Laura woke up. Her mother, who had helped her, was hugging her."Did you have a nightmare, child?""Yes, Mom.""Be patient, child."The kind, fairy-like mother took a glass and filled it with water. A moment later, she handed it to Laura."Drink first, child. Tell me about your dream and what you're afraid of."Lau
Between Love and Scandal 31. Compulsion
The atmosphere of The Plaza was becoming increasingly crowded with shoppers, most of whom were Laura. The sounds of people haggling over prices, the mix of pop music, and the voices of several vendors passing by and offering their wares made the place even more crowded.Three men who hadn't finished their glass of iced tea were forced to chase after the girl wearing a green shirt and black and white striped pants. They left the iced tea with the vendor and resumed their pursuit.Realizing she was being chased, Laura immediately sought a safe hiding place. She finally found a hidden wall that the clothing vendors used to come and go. From there, Laura could walk slowly toward the exit to escape.Sure enough, as soon as a man was lifting heavy objects, Laura hid behind him and walked with him, unseen by Mr. Ben's team. Laura made it safely to the exit.However, her body immediately froze, and her eyes bulged slightly when she realized someone in the car was looking at her. They were now
