Madison and Mia's shopping frenzy levels quickly amazed Westfield,and he seemed to understand why Madison dragged him along.

In just half an hour, he was already carrying more than a dozen large and small bags. From clothes and shoes to cosmetics and handbags,they didn't miss a single counter that women usually enjoyed shopping at.

So,it seemed that his only value was to be a free butler and companion for these two women?

When they were finally tired of shopping, they sat down in a cafe to rest,leaving Westfield a chance to catch his breath.

After this, he swore that he would never accompany a woman to go shopping again!

Of course, Ridgeland was an exception.

At that moment, Westfield noticed something not far away. They were secretly being observed, and it wasn't by just one or two people.He squinted his eyes, thinking about the black car he had seen before.

“Madison,Westfield, you sit here for a moment. I'm going to the restroom!”Mia said to the two of them before heading toward the cafe's restroom.

Westfield looked at Mia's figure and asked, "What does that female classmate of yours do?"

"Her? She's an executive at a travel company in Mountainview, and I heard she's doing well. Why do you want to know?" Madison casually explained, her face slightly suspicious as she stared at him.

Westfield lowered his voice and warned,"What nonsense are you thinking of?We're being followed right now!"

“What?!" Madison looked around in surprise, seemingly trying to locate the suspicious targets. “Don't look around. Just pretend you don't know anything!” Westfield furrowed his brows and hushed her.

Only then did she look at him, seemingly tense as she asked quietly,“Are you serious? Could you be mistaken?”

Westfield said,"I wish I was. But with the three of us here,if we really are being followed, they probably aren't targeting us. Instead, they're probably eyeing your classmate!"

“How could Mia be targeted, right? Could it be that someone from QU Group found out that we're here and sent people to keep an eye on us?"Madison quickly speculated, gradually relaxing from her initial shock. Westfield immediately denied, "It's not QU Group's people. This is a different group!” Christiant was also why he was hesitant to mention it. "So,you suspect that these people are targeting Mia? But she's just a company executive; why would they do that?" Madison's expression changed again. "How do you know they're not from QU Group?" Madison asked in surprise.

"These guys are too amateurish, and it's also because you two were careless and didn't notice them. With a little vigilance, you can easily detect them!" Westfield explained lightly, but he left ou one thing. Even from the airport, Westfield had sensed that someone was watching him,and they even followed him all the way back to the hotel.

From these two groups' behaviors, the first one was more professional,and they also followed them into the mall.

QU Group has no need to send two groups to follow them, especially this obvious second one.

Westfield wasn't surprise if QU Group sent people to follow them. In fact,it'd be weird if they didn't! Westfield didn't respond, but instead look at her in the eye.

Madison then noticed that Mia had returned from the restroom.

With a signal from Westfield, Madison tried to subtly ask Mia about her current situation, but Mia didn't seem to mention anything in her conversations.

“Have you heard anything unusual?"

“Are you still single? Don't you have a boyfriend?" After Madison clarified Mia's personal situation, she shifted the topic to the latter's relationships.

Mia complainedl with a sense of injustice, “Don't even mention it; I did date someone recently. We were in the same industry, wih him working for another travel company. Later on, I accidentally discovered that he was only using my background, so I broke up with him a few days ago.However, he has been pestering me ever since, and it's giving me a headache!”

Westfield's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly gave Madison a thumbs-up.

Madison seemed proud as she blinked at him, then asked with some surprise," "He just has some power, that's all. How can I compare to you? Moreover,I was deceived in my relationship all because of this little power!" Mia sighed in self-mockery, clearly feeling the impact of the situation. "Christiant scumbag's probably not just an ordinary employee of a travel company, no?" Madison continued to dig deeper. Your background? I've known you for so long, but I never knew anything about you! What does your family do?"

Mia explained with a bitter smile, “It's nothing impressive, really. My dad used to work for the government, and most of our classmates know about it. But recently, he got transferredto the city's Tourism Bureau and became a manager in charge of planning and development in tourist areas."

"So,your dad is flourishing in politics, huh?" Madison understood and teased playfully. Mia replied resentfully,"I found out later that he's not an ordinary manager, but rather the son of his company's president! I even overheard his conversation with his father; they were both aiming for my dad's little amount of power!"

Just then, a suited young man approached them with a large rose bouquet in hand.

As soon as Mia saw him, her face instantly darkened.

“John,how dare you come find me? I've made it clear already;don't show up in front of me again! I don't want to see you!" Agitated, she immediately stood up from the couch and pointed at him.

The other customers, as well as the shoppers in the mall, turned their curious gazes toward them.

Westfield and Madison immediately knew this man was definitely the scumbag Mia was talking about, and he was probably the one who sent those amateur spies on Mia!

"Mia, it's all my fault, and I'm really sorry. I just hope you can give me another chance because I really like you! Have you forgotten the promises we made to each other?" John, oblivious to everyone's astonishment,kneeled in front of Mia. He gave the roses with deep affection and begging for forgiveness.

Westfield and Madison exchanged glances, realizing that this scumbag really had some acting skills.
