Chapter 170: CH: 169 Pursuit
{Chapter: 169 Pursuit}
"You are a person who says one thing but means another." Ada joked beside him, her lips curving into a teasing smile. "You have to say you don't like it."
"I think so too, Jill is too arrogant." Terry said with a grin, but deep inside, an uneasy feeling gnawed at him. Seeing William and Jill embracing each other stirred something unpleasant within him. Yet, since Jill had insisted she didn't mind, he had no choice but to maintain a friendly expression and act as though it didn't bother him at all.
Jill suddenly pushed William away, her face twisting in frustration as she shouted, "No!"
"No, no, no. Time is running out. We have to leave here quickly and meet up with the commandos." Ada glanced at the smart watch strapped to her wrist, her expression sharp and focused.
"The Red Queen won't just let us walk out of here. She's going to throw everything she has at us to stop our escape." Jill said coolly, her voice laced with certainty.
"That artificial intelligence is terrifying..." Terry muttered, still shaken from his previous ordeal. For far too long, he had been a puppet under the Red Queen's control, and the mere thought of it made his skin crawl.
"No matter what, we have to move fast." Ada took the lead, striding forward with purpose.
William chuckled and followed. "Madam, let's go too," he said with a smirk.
Jill shot him a glare. "Call your wife, Terry. Hmph." She quickened her pace, refusing to acknowledge William's usual antics.
Terry leaned in toward William and whispered, "You know, anyone with half a brain can see that Jill actually likes you. But her pride is getting in the way. You just have to break it."
