Chapter 33
Chapter 33 There was no one around , the streets were empty , and the pharmacy was still some distance away Maggie was calculating in her mind when she noticed the strong smell of blood in the car .
She paused , started the engine , and askril .
Where to ? Straight ahead , to Santa Pier .
He added , Ill tell you how to get there .
No peed , I know the way .
Maggie replied and started driving .
She concentrated on driving , and the man didnt speak again , so the car became quiet .
Santa Pier was about half an hour away .
Along the way , Maggies expression remained calm , and her driving was steady and precise .
She didnt make a single wrong turn .
holding the gun , gradually changed the way he looked at her .
But Maggie didnt notice .
A little while later , the man said , Park under the banyan tree ahead .
Maggie , Okay .
The car stopped smoothly by the side of the road , and the man still kept the gun aimed at her .
As he got out of the car , she took her bag back and calmly started rifling through it .
I have some first aid supplies here .
In the half hour drive , the smell of blood in the car grew stronger .
She knew the man was probably injured .
The man paused but didnt respond , instead getting out of the car and disappearing quickly into the darkness .
Since he had refused her offer , Maggie didnt insist .
She turned the wheel and drove away .
A few minutes later , the man got on a boat that was waiting for him , and he took off his hat and mask His phone rang , and as he had someone tend to his injuries , he answered the call .
Before he could speak , Levi hurriedly asked , Harry , are you alright ? My people said they didnt pick you up .
Where are you ? dat There was an accident .
Im already at the pier .
Thats good .
How did this happen ? You scared me half to death ! After a moment , the call ended .
He gazed at the tall tree in the distance, lost in thought .
Maggie returned to Jessicas place half an hour later .
Jessica had taken the medicine and had some porridge .
She was feeling a little better but furrowed her brows .
Why dp 1 spell 16.28 Mr.
CEC , Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Lone Time blood ? Mag , are you hurt ? No.
The man was injured .
When he took her phone and bag , his blood had stained them .
She had wiped them when she got back , but it seemed she hadnt cleaned them thoroughly .
The next day , after Jessica had fully recovered from her fever , Maggie returned home .
She still hadnt prepared the gown for the banquet the following evening .
In the afternoon , Maggie went out for a while .
She arrived at a high end boutique where the manager and several salespeople were adjusting a gown .
It wasnt until Mazzie walked closer that they noticed her , I Sorry , miss .
How can I help you ? the manager asked politely .
I just have a look.
Maggie replied .
Of course .
Though she had married into the Wilson family , Maggie hadnt attended many banquets over the years .
After all , even when Franklin and the others had formal events to attend , they never brought her along .
As for Old Madam Wilson , she had stepped back from the spotlight long ago and no longer cared for such occasions .
Maggie didnt have much experience with high end fashion , but since Jessica worked in luxury apparel , she had picked up a basia sense of aesthetics .
There were so many beautiful gowns in the store that it was overwhelming .
Maggie didnt intend to be too picky .
As long as the gown was decent , she was fine with it .
As she was thinking this , she noticed the gown that the salespeople had been adjusting .
It was a light purple , semi sheer chiffon gown with a cinched waist , adorned with intricate flower details .
The design was exquisite , and the models neck was draped with an elegant , high end necklace .
The gown combined lightness and luxury perfectly .
Maggie couldnt help but walk over to it .
Just as she was about to touch the fabric and feel its texture , the manager suddenly grabbed her hand firmly .
Maggie winced , frowning in pain .
The manager quickly released her grip .

I didnt mean to hurt you .
Its just that this gown is a custom design for our VIP client .
