Two years ago, he and his wife had boarded the train to Istra with their young son, full of hope for a new life.


    Now, two yearster, he was returning home alone.


    Yvonne and Sandra watched the car carrying Howard drive away. As they were about to leave, they unexpectedly ran into Bet at the station.


    He seemed to be seeing a friend off. He was standing with several other tall men, talking in low voices, and hadn''t noticed Yvonne and Sandra.


    But his aide, Simon, had sharp eyes. He spotted Yvonne at once and even gave her a friendly wave.


    "Ms. Jones!"


    Being called out, Yvonne could only smile in response. "Mr. James, what a coincidence."


    Hearing her name, Bet looked up in Yvonne''s direction.


    Yvonne thought he would ignore her, but to her surprise, after saying a few words to the men he was with, he strode towards her.


    Bet stopped in front of Yvonne, his gaze calm yet deep as it rested on her.


    “This morning, during his transfer to prison, Oscar was in a serious car ident. His current whereabouts are unknown. The news is being kept under wraps for now," Bet said.


    Yvonne looked at him in shock. "Was it an ident, or was it deliberate?"


    Bet replied, "I believe it was thetter."


    Although the news of Oscar''s escape hadn''t been made public yet, it was easy for someone in Bet''s position to get inside information.


    The vehicle that caused the ident had rammed straight into the police transport van without any sign of braking. The angle of impact was carefully chosen, hitting the side where the armed guard was sitting. Of the two escorting officers, one was seriously injured, and the other died on the spot.


    After the crash, the vehicle quickly fled the scene, and Oscar vanished.


    It was clearly a well-nned and premeditated prison break.


    Oscar had been sentenced to death with a reprieve, meaning he would likely spend the rest of his life in prison. It was unlikely he would have epted that fate.


    "The authorities are currently implementing a lockdown and


    manhunt. It should be difficult for


    him to leave Istra. Be careful when


    you go out these


    and take


    Fake


    more bodyguards with you.


    Bet added a word of caution.


    With Oscar''s vindictive nature, no one knew if he would try to take revenge on Yvonne.


    Yvonne''s beautiful brow furrowed slightly as she nodded. "I will."


    "Did you drive here? I''ll have Simon take you back,” Bet said again.


    He didn''t give Yvonne a chance to refuse, directly instructing Simon to drive her and Sandra home.


    Yvonne didn''t decline Bet''s kind offer. The station was crowded, and she hadn''t brought any bodyguards with her today. It was indeed unsafe.


    "Thank you," Yvonne said softly.


    Bet didn''t reply, just gave her a brief nce before turning back to his friends and resuming their quiet conversation, appearing to be quite busy.


    Simon drove Yvonne and Sandra back to their apartment.


    For the next several weeks, Yvonne rarely went out except for necessary work engagements. Even when she did she was surrounded by more than a dozen bodyguards


    There were even faint rumors online about a certain actress being a diva on set,


    with an ridiculouslyrge entourage of bodyguards.


    However,pared to her personal safety, Yvonne didn''t care about the online gossip.


    At the end of the month, Yvonne had to attend a business g.


    Sandra had prepared a gown and jewelry for her in advance.


    At Yvonne''s current level of fame, her outfits and jewelry for events were all sponsored by brands.


    Tonight, she was wearing a ck strapless gown, paired with aplete set of high-end luxury jewelry.


    This jewelry brand was her newest endorsement, and the set she was


    tonight was the brand''s new


    luxury collection, making its debut at this business g.
