Chapter 267 - 274 Helen Wilson’s Thoughts
When James Brown finished, the admiration and obsession on Helen Wilson’s face had vanished without a trace, and she spoke in a careless tone, "I didn’t see that coming, you really have some skills."
James Brown chuckled lightly and said, "This is just a trivial matter, but it’s about our life and death. If by any chance they discover us, we wouldn’t even know how we’d die, so of course I had to be cautious."
Helen Wilson curled her lips, saying, "Coward."
James Brown did not refute Helen Wilson’s remark. He knew well that she always had to contradict him. Even if what he said made sense, Helen Wilson wouldn’t admit it at this moment; therefore, he thought it better not to respond.
After dinner, James Brown and Helen Wilson waited in their room for the call about the delivery. Helen Wilson paced around the room continuously. The young policewoman was finally losing her patience.
"Could you please stop pacing around? It’s making my eyes dizzy," James Brown couldn’t help but remind Helen Wilson.
Helen Wilson stopped walking and asked, "Are you worried they haven’t called yet? Could they have discovered something is wrong with us?"
"No matter if they found out or not, all we can do now is wait," said James Brown. "Please, just sit quietly for a while."
"Alright," Helen Wilson agreed and sat down on the sofa. However, less than five minutes passed before she was up and pacing again, which made James Brown helpless, knowing the enormous pressure she was under. This was her first time cracking such a big case, and knowing the strength and background of the opposition, there was really not much certainty of solving the case. On top of that, she had deceitfully taken the one million dollars left by her parents. If the case couldn’t be solved, it would mean a total loss, and she would have to explain it to her parents.
Another hour passed, and John Smith finally called, saying that a designated car would pick them up in twenty minutes, and he would not be coming over. Helen Wilson calmed down after hearing the call.
James Brown was actually uncomfortable with this sudden silence because Helen Wilson was continuously staring at him.
