"OH, NO," Adelaide shook her head, her speech suddenly speeding up, "According to our rules, the money is non-refundable, so Basil asked me to see if you have anyone else you want to kill. I can help you with that."
"Basil isn’t here?" Flossie Wright raised an eyebrow.
"No, he isn’t."
Adelaide replied quickly.
This time, Basil just sent her to handle things, hoping to resolve the matter smoothly to avoid additional complications.
There was no intention of cleaning up the mess herself.
"What if I don’t have anyone else to kill?"
Flossie Wright continued to ask.
"Well..." Adelaide paused slightly, her smile growing deeper on her face, "So many people tailing you, don’t you want to settle that?"
"I’ve already handled it."
With her arms crossed, Flossie Wright replied lazily.
"That’s not necessarily true."
Adelaide said meaningfully.

As long as she wanted, she could easily spread rumors about Flossie Wright, and by then, not only those following Flossie Wright but also those wanting to kill her would be quite numerous.
Of course, the method was a bit shady, but in their line of work, sometimes you have to do what you can, right?
Understanding her "between the lines" implication, Flossie Wright’s gaze turned cold, her mouth twitching slightly.
Indeed, without any friendship, anyone would spare no effort to screw you over.
This bunch—
Enough is enough.
"I’ll think about it."
Flossie Wright said unhurriedly, her lids lifting slightly.
"I hope we can resolve this before you leave," Adelaide smiled radiantly, alluringly.
"Of course."
Matching her smile, Flossie Wright slowly responded.
Adelaide looked at her satisfied, then turned and left without any hesitation.
Simultaneously, Flossie Wright retracted her gaze and looked at the traffic on the Street.
She had lingered here for quite long. Without saying a heads-up and leaving, if Glenn Hutchinson couldn’t find her...
She wouldn’t have the fare to get back.
Her gaze quickly swept over, and in less than two seconds, Flossie Wright spotted the Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside.
It was parked close to where she was.
The car window was open, and she immediately saw Glenn Hutchinson’s silhouette. He had one hand resting on the window, glancing slightly over here, with a seemingly indifferent look, not caring much about Flossie Wright talking to someone on the roadside.
Flossie Wright walked straight over.
She went to the passenger seat, opened the door, and sat down naturally.
"What do you want to eat?"
Glancing sideways at Flossie Wright, Glenn Hutchinson asked in a steady voice.
Being asked this, Flossie Wright realized that they hadn’t had dinner since they went out.
She was indeed a bit hungry.
Thinking about it, Flossie Wright couldn’t come up with something she wanted to eat, so she directly told Glenn Hutchinson, "You decide."
And thus, she tossed the question to Glenn Hutchinson.
Glenn Hutchinson glanced at her.
Then he withdrew his gaze.
From start to finish, he did not ask any questions about Flossie Wright’s sudden departure, disappearance of her tails, or her roadside conversation with a blonde stranger.
Flossie Wright also had no intention of explaining proactively.
Once quiet, she turned her head to look out the car window, her expression cold, as if pondering something.
Glenn Hutchinson continued to drive.
Outside, the sky gradually darkened. The last trace of sunset light disappeared and in the blink of an eye, the sky was pitch-black while the lights on the Street seemingly all flickered on at once.
