Chapter 1334
“They've found our location, and they are targeting me,” Marcus explained.
“Tomorrow morning, I'll need you to inspect beneath my car.”
“Of course, sir,” Trenton replied, his resolve hardening.
Clenching his fists with determination, he continued, “Mr. Thomas, please try to
get some rest now. I'll stand guard at the door, daring them to return. I want them
to come back so I can apply what I learned in military school.”
Back in his room, Marcus securely latched the window once more, then reclined
on the bed, his gaze directed upwards at the ceiling. It was becoming
increasingly evident that this visit to Peach Town would not be characterized by
serenity.
He reached for his phone and uncovered a photograph of Millie, taken during
their previous resort trip. In the image, she stood amidst a field of vibrant flowers,
her head tilted and a victory sign held high, an image of youthful energy. As he
gazed at the photo, a subtle, wistful smile graced his Lips.
The following morning, the members of the Thomas Group gathered in the
canteen for breakfast.
Lily nibbled on her bread, her attention drawn to Shera, who was sporting a skirt
and a bandage on her knee.
“Shera, did you hurt your knee last night?” Lily inquired.
Shera responded with an air of indifference, “Yes, I had a little accident.”
Intriguingly, her gaze darted toward Marcus, a prominent presence even when he
was apparently doing nothing.

Shera had not expected Marcus's unreactive demeanor upon glimpsing the
intimate photos of Millie with another man.
The emotional blow was palpable, and it left her in a state of disconcerted
uncertainty.
Amidst the breakfast chatter, Lily suddenly posed a personal question.
“Shera, may I ask you something?”
Shera, savoring a mouthful of porridge, replied casually, “Sure, what is it?”
Lily's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
“Do you have a boyfriend? You're incredibly beautiful, so I imagine you must
have a boyfriend.”
Shera’s response was concise.
“No, I don't.”
