She hoped that such intuition was purely overthinking on her part.
Deep in the night.
A jeep drove into the depths of the mountain forest.
The surroundings were cliffs and precipices, and far beyond the reach of the high beam headlights lay an empty expanse of darkness.
The vehicle was moving at a steady pace, right in the middle of the road, skillfully navigating each dangerous turn.
Before long, the road became smooth.
There were some bumps.
Inside the car, a phone rang.
Glenn Hutchinson’s brows moved slightly, but he didn’t slow down, casting a glance at the caller ID. After seeing the character [Chu], he picked up the phone.
"Glenn," a serious voice came from the other side.
"Go ahead."
"It’s nothing much, just that..." The voice remained calm, pausing deliberately before continuing, "Mia Lawson had an accident."
"What happened?" Glenn Hutchinson asked coldly.
"She lost two of her fingers." The voice seemed quite helpless.
"Who did it?"
"Unclear. I only found out after Mia Lawson was picked up by the police."
Glenn Hutchinson didn’t respond.
Two fingers cut off?
A typical act of villainy.
Targeting Mia Lawson was naturally because of Flossie Wright. Other than Perry Reed, he couldn’t think of anyone else capable of such a deed.
After a pause with no response, the voice on the phone added, "Mia Lawson has been taken to the hospital, the two fingers aren’t found, supposedly taken away. The police are investigating but given the clean and professional way it was done, they often do this sort of thing, it’s unlikely they will find out who’s behind it."
Glenn Hutchinson frowned and responded flatly.
"Furthermore..."
"Mia Lawson’s actions have already reached her family, and a few of her friends have spilled the news. Should we continue?"
A chill settled in Glenn Hutchinson’s brows.
Scandals were certainly something people would spread.
Mia Lawson’s reputation was ruined.
The very reputation she valued most, she had trampled with her own hands.
And now, with two fingers missing and a lifelong disability, she had learned her lesson.
"You have such a kind heart," the voice said leisurely, with evident interest, "If it were me, I would’ve ruined her life entirely."
Daring to touch his woman, wasn’t that asking for trouble?
He wouldn’t engage in illegal activities, but there were many ways to pressure somebody into a dead end.
He believed Glenn Hutchinson had plenty of methods as well.
Too bad, Glenn Hutchinson was a military man.
That guy, he had his own moral boundaries.
The people?
Such a vicious woman, she too was considered "people."
Glenn Hutchinson carried the responsibility to protect.
Not taking the bait, Glenn Hutchinson hung up the call.
The night was silent.
Glenn Hutchinson drove on, his brow furrowing as he looked ahead, but his thoughts were deep.
He was clearing Flossie Wright.
Given Flossie’s character, she couldn’t possibly have disclosed anything willingly, especially since her phone had been confiscated, leaving her no chance to speak.
Therefore, it was impossible for Flossie to have instructed Perry Reed.
Thinking this, Glenn Hutchinson’s brows gradually relaxed.
As for Perry Reed...
He must keep him away from Flossie Wright!
The Navy Base.
After completing a five-kilometer cross-country run.
Flossie Wright was already adapting.
But seeing Becca Reyes panting for breath, the gravity in Flossie’s brow deepened a bit more.
The upcoming training was only going to increase; there was no chance of it decreasing.
If Becca Reyes continued with this performance, she might be eliminated at any moment.
"Beep—Beep—Beep—"
The assembly whistle sounded promptly.
Flossie Wright helped Becca Reyes to the assembly.
Assemblies were always brief—an exchange of a few words before dismissal.
This time, it lasted longer.
Soon, Austin Shepherd’s stern and powerful voice announced, "Starting tomorrow, we will undergo a seven-day wilderness survival exercise."
