Chapter 1035 Worried and Confused
After a moment of thought, Clarissa felt that Emmeline's suggestion would work.
Therefore, she agreed.
"Okay. After the sketch is completed, send it directly to my phone."
"Sure, no problem."
After the phone conversation, Clarissa never thought of Coby anymore.
That morning, Clarissa and the others went to visit other places in Oyraka. For the whole time, Sierra was with them. As for Robert, he did not come along because he was too busy in the lab.
After enjoying their trip until eight o'clock in the evening, they returned home with satisfaction.
Just then, Clarissa received a phone call from Emmeline.
"Clarissa, I've sent the portrait to your cell phone. Have a look."
"Alright."
Clarissa hung up, opened the text message, and saw the sketch sent by Emmeline.
This sketch was drawn by a professional painter based on Emmeline's description.
As the painter had a good foundation, the man in the portrait looked real. Upon seeing that, Clarissa was puzzled.
It didn't occur to her that there would be such a coincidence in the world.
Although the person in the portrait was not a hundred percent similar to Coby—whom they met last night—he was eighty percent similar to it.
After all, it was a sketch based on Emmeline's description.
Therefore, it was normal to have slight differences.
Even so, this sketch was enough to make Clarissa's jaw drop.
Surprised, she immediately showed the portrait to Anderson.
After Anderson saw that, he was also bewildered.
It never crossed his mind that his conjecture would be right.
Why was Coby Marsh here?
Thinking from another perspective, although they didn't know Coby, according to his shrewdness, he would investigate all the people around Emmeline and Jara.
Therefore, it was normal that he recognized Clarissa and Anderson.
Previously, he had always been in the dark while Jara and the rest were in the open.
In fact, he was like a mysterious shadow that surrounded everyone.
Even if they wanted to find trouble with him, they wouldn't know where he was.
But now, he suddenly appeared on his own.
Why was that so?
Clarissa and Anderson were both at a loss.
Moreover, why did he pretend not to know Clarissa and Anderson and approach them as a photographer last night?
At this moment, Clarissa and Anderson no longer believed that their encounter last night was a coincidence.
After all, there wouldn't be so many coincidences in the world.
They were sworn enemies, and yet, they ran into each other in another country.
Judging from that, Coby must have planned it and deliberately approached them.
But why?
After thinking about it for a long time, Clarissa and Anderson still couldn't figure it out. In the end, they decided to call Emmeline and discuss with her.
In fact, they didn't let Sierra and Robert know about this so that Sierra and Robert wouldn't think too much and worry about them.
When the sky turned dark, everyone went back to their rooms and rest. Then, Anderson and Clarissa called Emmeline.
As they were making a video call, Emmeline and Jara appeared on the screen once the call was connected.
Emmeline looked happy, but judging from the background, it seemed that she was in a hotel. Most probably, they were not in Blink City.
Clarissa remembered that Anderson had given them some clues about Trikstin, and she guessed because of that, they might be in Trikstin now. So, she didn't ask anything.
As soon as the call was connected, Emmeline smiled. "Have you received Coby's portrait?"
"Yes, I received it." Clarissa nodded.
"Why do you want his portrait?"
Hearing that, Clarissa pursed her lips for a while before she revealed, "This sounds absurd, but we met him here."
"What?"
On the other side, Jara and Emmeline were puzzled.
After all, their encounter with Coby itself was abnormal.
Sure enough, Emmeline frowned.
"Didn't you go to the desert? What is he doing there?"
"Who knows?" Clarissa sneered. "Besides, he pretended as a photographer and talked to us last night. At that time, his car broke down and stopped on the side of the road. Since he helped Anne, we offered to drive him home. Now that I think about it, there might be nothing wrong with his car. Perhaps, he deliberately stopped there to wait for us, but how did he know that we would pass through that road?"
As soon as Emmeline heard that, her face changed.
"Do you mean that he has investigated you?"
"Yes, that's right."
Before this, Clarissa and Anderson had thought of this possibility.
In a low voice, Clarissa added, "He must have investigated us before he came here and knew where we lived. So, he deliberately stopped at the road we would take to go back at night. However, the strange thing is, he didn't do anything after getting in the car. He just left his number to Anne and got off the car. Until now, I still can't figure out his motive for doing this."
Once again, Emmeline's brows puckered.
Just then, Jara asked, "Did he say anything unusual to you?"
For a moment, Clarissa contemplated before she looked at Anderson. "Did he say anything unusual?"
Anderson shook his head.
With that, Clarissa answered, "We don't remember he did. Most probably, he disguised himself as a photographer because he doesn't want us to identify him. However, he didn't expect that I would contact you and ask you for a portrait. So, he probably doesn't know that we already know his identity."
"What are you going to do then?"
Jara asked.
At once, Clarissa fell silent.
Actually, she didn't even know Coby's purpose. How would she know what to do?
As Anderson's thoughts were similar to hers, both of them shook their heads.
"He hasn't made his move yet, so we don't know his motive. The only thing we can do now is to lay low and deal with whatever he throws at us."
"Alright."
As Emmeline spoke, she sounded worry.
"But I'm worried that he approached both of you with an ulterior motive. What if he attacks you?"
Upon hearing this, Anderson scoffed.
"That will be better. Do you think I'll be afraid of him?"
Right after hearing what he said, Emmeline laughed.
As she was too worried and confused, she nearly forgot Anderson's identity.
After all, he was a man who could make anyone lose their nerves. So, why would he afraid of Coby?
Moreover, Clarissa's mother was in Oyraka, and Robert was also a big shot there. Thus, Clarissa and Anderson wouldn't have to worry even if they were unfamiliar with Oyraka.
