Chapter 2605
Nicole found some solace, realizing that tending to her well-being equated to bringing comfort to Austin.
Rest was essential for the welfare of both her and her children.
Consequently, she dutifully exited the vehicle, heading home to rest.
Following Jarrod’s directives, four bodyguards were strategically positioned, two at the residential area’s entrance and two at the staircase.
Their vigilance was so thorough that not even a solitary insect could breach their watch.
After Jarrod’s departure, a woman cautiously emerged from a distance.
Cloaked in a discreet bucket hat concealing much of her visage and a mask, her appearance aroused suspicion, drawing the attention of the security personnel.
Approaching, the guard inquired, “Madam, which residence do you belong to? What is your purpose here?”
Startled, the woman hesitated before responding, “ .
I’m seeking someone.
”
“Just passing by?” The guard’s tone betrayed skepticism.
Despite its modest size and lack of luxury, the residential area had recently enlisted the services of a renowned security firm affiliated with the Schultz Group, ensuring elevated safety standards.
Confronted with such dubious individuals, the guards refrained from simply dismissing them, opting instead for a thorough interrogation.
“Madam, which building are you seeking?”
Growing increasingly apprehensive, the woman hastily surveyed the building numbers on the wall before fabricating a response.
“Building 13.
”
“And the unit?” the guard asked.
“603,” the woman blurted out, selecting a number at random.
Assuming that her fabrication would prompt the guard to depart, she was surprised when the guard said, “Allow me to accompany you, Madam.

Quickly waving her hands, the woman declined.
“No, no, I can proceed unaccompanied.
”
Insisting firmly, the guard remarked, “I must insist, Madam.
I need to conduct a check of Building 13 regardless.
”
Growing increasingly frustrated, the woman retorted, “I’ve already said there’s no need.
I can manage on my own.
” With brisk steps, she forged ahead.
Observing the guard’s persistent presence, the woman snapped, “Cease trailing me! How can I discern your intentions? There have been reports of individuals masquerading as guards to lure unsuspecting victims into perilous situations.
Stop following me!”
Attempting to confound the guard, the woman aimed to prompt his departure.
Undeterred, the guard replied, “Our corridors are under constant surveillance.
Rest assured, Madam, I am a certified security officer.
Should I act improperly, you have the right to report me.
”
Unable to shake the guard off, the woman continued on her path, the guard trailing behind.
As the woman reached a narrow lane, the guard said, “Madam, you’re heading in the wrong direction.
Building 13 is that way.
”
Reluctantly, the woman pivoted.
The guard inquired, “Is this your initial visit to your friend’s residence?”
Internally cursing, the woman pondered why the guards here adopted such an interrogative demeanor.
Nonchalantly, she replied, “Indeed, it’s my first time here.
