That look seemed to see through the sparse branches and understand everything.
Lizzie subconsciously turned slightly to the side, using her body to block his probing gaze.
Terrence caught her little gesture, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. He couldn’t help but chuckle.
Lizzie still wanted to hide!
“Someone actually dared to come here alone? That’s pretty brave.”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound coming from deep in the woods, mixed with a muffled groan and struggle.
The Frazier family heard the commotion over here and “knocked out” Jasmin and took her away.
Lizzie pursed her lips, stubbornly lowered her gaze, she didn’t respond, nor did she look at him.
Terrence saw her like that, and he stopped asking. Suddenly, he made
a move.
Lizzie’s body tensed up, almost instinctively wanting to stop him, not wanting him to go after “the Frazier family“.
However, Terrence reached out and grabbed Katherine’s arm, then pulled her weak body closer to him, supporting her to stand steady.

Lizzie felt a lightness in her body and looked at Terrence in slight surprise. It wasn’t until Terrence helped Katherine walk a few steps out that she came back to her senses, using crutches to slowly follow along.
Terrence was walking fast with someone, acting all cool and casual.
Lizzie was running frantically, sweating all over, but she couldn’t catch up with him.
They walked out of the woods and saw Jarred pacing back and forth anxiously.
Jarred saw the three of them coming out and immediately hurried over, his face full of urgency. “Commander! You really… How could you leave me alone out here? It’s so remote, what if you encounter any danger?”
Terrence glanced coldly.
Jarred shut up, Terrence was better than him, other people’s bodyguards protect the commander, he was just for driving and running errands.
Suddenly felt very down.
After hearing what Jarred said, Lizzie suddenly turned to look at Terrence, her eyes filled with surprise.
Jarred went in together, and he actually deliberately sent away the bodyguard named Jarred?
Why?
Lizzie felt something in her heart being touched for a moment. Was she afraid of being seen as a scammer by others, so she deliberately pushed Jarred away?

But without giving her a chance to think, Terrence ordered Jarred in a deep voice, “Go into the woods and bring those three people back.”
Jarred took the order and without any hesitation, he quickly disappeared into the woods.
The direction Jarred disappeared in was the same direction Jasmin was taken.
Lizzie’s back tensed up instantly, her body stiffened almost imperceptibly
Terrence looked away from the forest.
He turned around, helped the still slightly weak Katherine into the back seat of the Jeep, and then slammed the door.
Immediately, he turned around and his gaze fell heavily on Lizzie.
Lizzie met his gaze, chin slightly raised, fingers tightening around the
cane.
Lizzie thought Terrence was going to lecture her, so she was on edge. “I didn’t do anything wrong. Being lenient to the enemy is being cruel to oneself,” she said with a stubborn look in her eyes.
This time we didn’t just solve Jasmin in one go, we scared them off, otherwise they would have kept harassing us endlessly!
And Jasmin was actually going to harm Katherine, she brought it upon herself, serves her right!
Terrence’s eyes were calm, just looking at her, watching her pretend to be strong.
His voice was deep, with a hint of subtle sharpness.

“If they didn’t listen to you just now. If they chose to be directly against you, what would you do?”
Lizzie didn’t understand Terrence’s attitude. He kicked Jarred out, probably trying to protect her, but then sent Jarred to catch someone.
She lowered her eyelids, avoiding Terrence’s gaze, “I knew what I was doing, I could guarantee my own safety.”
Terrence’s gaze landed on Lizzie’s guarded little face, and he couldn’t help but chuckle.
He knew Lizzie was crazy. If she wasn’t crazy enough to risk it all, once she snatched someone from the human traffickers, once Brycen and Alvaro came to cause trouble. Whichever girl encountered one of these things, they would either die or be seriously injured.
She wasn’t crazy, she couldn’t escape from those dangers either.
But saving yourself when in danger is one thing, and still charging ahead knowing the danger is another.
Jarred came back at that time.
Lizzie saw only him and breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn’t afraid of the Frazier family being caught and revealing her. She lied to the Frazier family to save Katherine, it was just a temporary solution.
She did hope that the Frazier family actually “pulled it off” and brought Jasmin home.
