Chapter 316 - The Key Card (2/2)

She quickly covered her mouth and shrieked. ”Oh my, you gave me quite a fright,” she said as she blocked the way.

The couple looked at the woman with confusion. Was this corner already taken? They tried to peek behind her to see, but Natalie quickly stood on her tiptoes and stretched her arms. ”Oh, it's getting late, isn't it? Do you have the time?” she asked as she yawned.

The couple furrowed their brows, but the man still checked his watch and answered, ”It's only 9pm.”

Natalie's eyes darted awkwardly. 9pm couldn't be considered as late. Many of the parties on the island hadn't even started yet!

She giggled awkwardly and said, ”Oh, it must be the jet lag...”

The woman looked at the man and whispered, ”I thought there's no time difference between China and the Philippines.”

The man looked at the woman and whispered back, ”Perhaps...she's not from China...”

The woman nodded understandingly.

The man then looked at Natalie and said, ”You should hurry to bed then. It was nice meeting you. Can we please get through?”

Natalie panicked, ”N-N-N....”

She tried to hold the couple back, but they easily walked around her to face the scene in the corner.

Natalie closed her eyes nervously and heard the woman gasp in surprise.

What was going to happen now? Would they be taken to the police station in a foreign country? Even though her three travel companions were officers of the law, they couldn't knock out a person and search them like this. Nowhere in the world was this forgivable.

But, just as she was thinking this, she heard her husband's voice, ”Oh John, I told you not to drink so much...”

She then heard the couple chuckle.

With confusion, she quickly opened her eyes and turned around.

Jackson and Sean were dragging the unconscious man out while Halia followed behind. ”It was all your fault for buying him so many drinks,” Jackson said as he played along.

Even though Natalie knew the real situation, these men were putting on a convincing act. It simply looked like they were dragging their drunk friend out of the bar.

Without any suspicions, the couple simply watched as the group left with the unconscious man.

But, as soon as the trio stepped back into the main part of the bar, they dumped the man on a sofa and left inconspicuously while Natalie followed nervously behind.

Jackson glanced at his wife to check that she was OK and saw her gripping tightly to another key card in her hand. He was a little surprised.

She was right, there really was another one!

But, there was something different about the one in his wife's hand. It looked like it was plated with gold!

How did she know about this key card and what was it used for?
