Chapter 590
One of the vagrants whispered. “Did you see that woman just now? She just tossed away her phone after spending
1,000 dollars to make a call. This is just too extravagant.”
The other vagabond nodded repeatedly. “With such a lavish spending, she surely must be carrying a lot of cash on
her.”
“Looks like our golden opportunity has arrived…”
With these words, the two men exchanged knowing looks.
With greed on the edge of their courage, they decided to rob Joanna.
Observing that Joanna had left the overpass, they hastily got up and stealthily trailed her.
Joanna exited the overpass.
It was already past ten in the morning, she’presumed Bruce would arrive shortly.
“I can’t stay here, I need to leave now.”
Joanna was about to hail a taxi to escape from there.
Unfortunately, this was a commercial district and taxis were scarce.
Joanna tried to hail more than ten cars in a row, but all of them were occupied.
“Forget it, let’s go to the next intersection and try there!” Joanna didn’t want to waste any more time and swiftly
headed to
the next intersection
After walking for five minutes, Joanna felt an unsettling sensation, a feeling that someone was railing her.
Joanna’s heart skipped a beat, she tightly held the canvas bag under her arm, and quickened her pace.
Simultaneously, she stealthily reached into her pocket and pulled out her stun gun.
“Look at that bulging bag she carries, it surely must hold something valuable.”
The pair noticed Joanna picking up her pace, they realized if they didn’t act now it would be too late. Once they

The pair decided not to wait any longer, readying themselves for a bold snatch and grab.
Consequently, they increased their pace to catch up with her.
One of the vagrants lunged to snatch Joanna’s canvas bag.
Joanna spun around and recognized him as the vagrant from before.
“What are you doing?”
The two vagrants didn’t respond, they just desperately tugged at her bag.
Joanna could no longer tolerate this, she swiftly pulled out her stun gun from her pocket, aimed it at the vagrant’s
hand, and pulled the trigger.
“ZAPI”
“Ah…” The powerful current instantly brought the vagrant down. He screamed as he fell flat on the ground.
Seeing this, the other vagrant was taken aback.
But blinded by greed, he gathered his courage and lunged to snatch the bag.
“ZAP! Joanna shocked the other vagrant.
“Ah. Both the vagrants writhed on the ground in agony.

a wave of revulsion, she went up to them and retrieved her 1,000 dollars from one of the vagrant’s clothes.
She turned around and left.
He was really biting off more than she could chew, for giving him 1,000 dollars for a shoddy phone, yet he still
wanted to
rob her.
This kind of person was not deserving of sympathy. She was determined to get her money back. Quickly, more than
ten luxury cars arrived, roaring beneath the overpass.
More than ten luxury cars roared under the overpass.
Bruce got out of the car angrily. Dozens of bodyguards in suits also got out of the car hurriedly.

The homeless folks under the overpass, had they ever seen such a display?
They were all terrified.
“Have you seen this person?”
“Um, no, no.”
“Speak up. There will be a hefty reward.”
“Oh, oh, I think I just saw this woman. She went that way!” A female beggar stuttered.
Bruce’s brows furrowed. “Which direction did she go?”
The female beggar pointed to the exit of the overpass, “She went that way.”
“Chase after her, now.”
As he spoke, Bruce instructed his bodyguards to give the female beggar a 2000-dollar reward.
Joanna had just reached the next intersection and was about to hail a cab.
She could vaguely see a few men in black suits standing across the street, searching for something?
A sense of panic overtook Joanna, she no longer cared about hailing a cab, she immediately darted into the nearby
women’s
restroom.
“Mr. Everett, we still haven’t found her. However, according to surveillance, she should be in this area.”
“Joanna, no matter where you run to, I will find you.”
“Block these streets immediately, find her!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYes, Mr. Everett!”
The bodyguards split up again and began a systematic search, street by street.
Joanna hid in the ladies’ room for half an hour. Once she estimated that the bodyguards had left, she cautiously
exited.
Beside her was a large shopping mall.
As she rode the elevator, she saw the bodyguards who had brushed past her again.
Fortunately, she was wearing a hat and a mask, and her clothes were very casual, so the bodyguards did not
recognize her at
first.
Joanna’s heart pounded wildly, and she hastily walked away in fear.
Seeing that she was about to run into another group of bodyguards, Joanna had no choice but to duck into a
women’s clothing store.
“Welcome!”
“Miss, do you want to buy clothes?”
“We have the latest styles here, feel free to look around.”
Joanna quickly grabbed a piece of clothing from the rack and darted into the fitting room.
“Miss, you have good taste. This is one of our new arrivals. The saleswoman enthusiastically introduced.
Joanna carefully opened the door of the fitting room and said to the saleswoman, “Yes, I’m quite satisfied with this
piece. Could you please pick out a few more for me?”
“Oh, of course! I’ll go pick some for you right now!”
“Wait, could I borrow a phone, please?”
Sure. The saleswoman smiled sweetly and enthusiastically handed the phone to Joanna.
Joanna took the phone and returned to the fitting room.
After pondering for a while, she couldn’t resist calling Jaydon.
She didn’t want to trouble Jaydon again, but she couldn’t find anyone else who could help her at this point.
If she was caught and brought back by Bruce, her fate would surely be dire
