Chapter 637
Jamie did not argue, merely explaining, “Ms. Lawson, it’s your first visit to Kyafa, and you’re unfamiliar with the area. Mr. Lance is just concerned about your safety.”
Sheena had no plans to go out anyway; she was not interested in exploring the local culture of
Laubabwe.
Instead, she was more concerned about Nathaniel’s appearance, asking, “When does he intend to see me?”
“I reckon Mr. Lance will arrive after you finish lunch,” Jamie replied.
After that, he signaled to the other two bodyguards behind him, and they immediately approached, intending to search Lionel.
Lionel was wary. “What’s going on?”
Sheena stepped forward, blocking Lionel, and questioned, “What does he mean by this? Does he not trust me, or is he afraid I might pose a threat to Laubabwe?”
Jamie explained, “Ms. Lawson, I hope you and your bodyguard can be cooperative. Since you’re in Laubabwe, checking for controlled weapons and firearms is necessary.”
“They already checked those before we boarded the plane. There’s no need for this extra step,”
Sheena sneered.
“My apologies, but please cooperate with our work,” Jamie said without further explanation.
Then, the other two bodyguards quickly stepped forward to conduct a search.
Given that Sheena was a woman, they did not dare touch her and called a servant to inspect her. As expected, they found nothing.
Jamie then had the luggage opened.
Inside Sheena’s suitcase was a delicate small plane that caught Jamie’s attention. He was about to bend down and examine it closely when Sheena stopped him.
“Careful! That’s a little toy my own brother gave me. It’s quite expensive, and if you damage it, event your boss, Mr. Lance, can’t afford it, let alone you!”
Jamie was taken aback and stopped checking the plane.
After confirming there were no dangerous items, he instructed the bodyguards to take away all communication devices from the suitcase–a laptop, Bluetooth earphones, and a pen with a recording function. Finally, he requested Sheena and Lionel to surrender their phones, even confiscating Lionel’s electronic watch.
That was the last straw!

Sheena’s gaze turnest cold, saying, “Being without a phone in this day and age is like losing a sense of security Isn’t he going too far with this?”
This time, Jamie remained unmoved. After bowing deeply, he said, “Ms. Lawson, please forgive us.
e’re just following orders. When Mr. Lance arrives, you can ask him about this.”
“Get out. I want to rest.”
If there was no room for negotiation, there was no need to put on a good front. Hence, she directly had Lionel usher everyone out.
Lionel forcefully closed the door.
The two stood behind the thin white curtains, silently watching.
Outside the small apartment, Jamie left in the Bentley, leaving the two bodyguards to guard the entrance. In addition to the two bodyguards, there was also a servant cleaning the yard.
While Sheena observed the situation outside, Lionel was not idle. He expertly checked under the tables, in the corners of the beds, on the ceiling lights, and even inside the vases of all the rooms.
In the end, he found three small listening devices and placed them on the coffee table.
Once she was done observing outside, Sheena closed the windows, locked them, and then sat on the sota, picking up one of the listening devices.
“He’s quite sneaky! I can’t believe he even wants to monitor a woman’s bedroom. What a pervert, scum!”
With that, she ruthlessly threw the listening device.
Lionel caught it steadily in his hands.
“Don’t throw them. I remember where he placed the devices. Once we finish talking, I’ll put them. back. Nathaniel is both cumming and suspicious. Even if you confront him about this, he may agree on the surface but find other ways to monitor you in secret.”
Sheena nodded and calmly organized her thoughts.
“Open the suitcase. Let’s check how much they confiscated.”
Lionel immediately pushed the suitcase over.
The group
was cautious and searched her luggage thoroughly, leaving only Corey’s small plane he had given Sheena a long time ago.
Sheena did not understand the significance of this toy until a few days ago. It turned out to be a new type of small bomb, requiring unique operations to detonate. Moreover, the casing of the small plane was made of a special material that could not be detected by any security checks.
nese were simple tricks for Corey, the world’s top pilot.
heena tapped the emerald ring on her right hand, deep in thought.
