Janet needed a valid reason to explain why she came to Markovia and the basement of the MX.
“Desire, bring me a set of acupuncture needles!” As soon as Janet returned to her senses, she gave an order calmly.
“All right! I’ll go get them now!”
Sitting with her legs crossed on the sofa, Janet observed the followers via the huge monitor. In a playful tone, she mocked, “What a great ambush! They deserve to be one of the Lowry’s!”
When Desire finally passed her the acupuncture needles, Janet took them and left. Watching the disappearing form of the young lady, Desire sighed. Who are those scumbags that dared to follow Janet? In just a moment, they’ll die in such a miserable way.
Black Python and White Python did not let their guards down when they saw Janet leaving the base. Earlier, they were so excited that they had almost called Young Master Mason to report about her whereabouts. But out of their usual work ethic, they wanted to see what she was doing there first. Chasing after her, they lost her when they weren’t paying attention. Not long after that, they caught a glimpse of a slender figure through their peripheral vision.
“Go!” The pair glanced at each other. The other followers also concealed themselves. It wasn’t easy to get rid of people from the Lowry Family. They were all professionally trained, and their ability to ambush was comparable to Desire and Lara.
Janet had left the base for a while now. Although she was far away from them, she felt like someone was following her. She could never expose herself. Not now! If Mason found out that she was one of the members of the MX, and knew that she wanted to station the organization in Sandfort City, he would definitely stop her. But his interference might help pave her way into Sandfort City too. However, she didn’t want herself to become someone who relied on men.
“What a stalker!” As she picked up her pace, she complained.
Black Python and White Python followed closely. Two minutes later, they reached another corner again. Why is there no more sound? Black Python and White Python’s hearts trembled. Is Miss Jackson in danger?
But at this very moment, three pairs of eyes met. One was awkward, one was surprised, and another one was disdainful.
“Miss Jackson! Why did you appear all of a sudden?” Black Python’s face was flushed.
The pair was shocked by Janet who had just sprung out of the corner. Miss Jackson sure is naughty!
“Oh! It’s you guys!” Janet’s voice was lazy and her eyes blinked innocently.
“W-We thought something happened to you, so that’s why we followed you!” Black Python and White Python looked at each other in embarrassment. They had followed others before and had never been found. Yet now, they were tricked by an ordinary girl like this. How embarrassing!
“I was still thinking who was so free to stalk a normal girl like me!” Janet blinked. “Do you guys want to try acupuncture too?” As she was saying this, she waved the bag of needles in her hand.
“N-No. We’re fine.” They then asked uneasily, “Did you go to the base of the MX to give them a treatment?” They heard that Miss Jackson had once saved Old Madam Lowry. They didn’t know they would have the chance to see it by themselves.
“Duh!” Janet rolled her eyes and snorted, “Do you think I’m fooling around? Or, do you think I’m one of the members of the MX?”
“N-No! We’re so sorry for interrupting you, Miss Jackson!” Both Black Python and White Python twitched their lips. They felt as if their brains were caught between a door; otherwise, they should not have been suspecting Miss Jackson as one of the MX’s members. Nothing of her looked like she was one of their members!
Meanwhile, Janet, too, did not want to continue the conversation with them. Or else, they would start getting suspicious. Sneering, she said in displeasure, “Since you guys were just under Mason’s order, let’s just forget it!” If she really wanted to blame someone, that someone should be Mason. He isn’t keeping his promise at all. How dare he send someone to keep an eye on me!
“Stop following me! I’m all grown up already. What dangers could there be?”
