Chapter 375
After two days of journey, Michael, Mai, and Kate finally entered Michigan. They slept in two motels on the road because sleeping in a hotel might cause Marlon’s men to discover their route.
They also strictly used cash for every transaction. They basically acted like fugitives. But this was to protect their safety because Marlon was just too dangerous, and once they were discovered, that would be a death sentence.
Once they entered Michigan, Michael called Dahlia with a new number, asking for the exact location of her villa so they could finally finish this grueling trip from California to Michigan.
Once Dahlia shared the location, Michael pressed the gas pedal, and they went straight to Dahlia’s villa.
"Wow, this place is fantastic. I never knew Madam Grant had such a beautiful villa hidden in the woods," Mai commented as the car turned and entered the villa’s gate.
Kate also looked around and noticed the lake right next to the villa. This place looked hidden and serene. There weren’t many villas around the area. Even if there were a few, Kate could see that most of them were empty.
So, it was a perfect hiding place.
Dahlia stood in front of the main door with Howard, her new henchman and cook, and a bodyguard. She was wearing a long skirt and a warm sweater. She was also wearing a warm scarf, indicating she wasn’t good with cold.
Nevertheless, her smile widened when Michael’s car parked in front of her.
Kate was the first to open the car door, and Dahlia opened her arms immediately while walking towards her future daughter-in-law, "Welcome to my villa, dear. It must’ve been a difficult day for you. I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you against Marlon’s men."
Kate hugged the old woman back and replied, "It’s fine. At least we’re all here, safe and secure, right? Besides, you should’ve cared more about your body. Escaping from his grasp must’ve been difficult."
