Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245 

Hera looked around with a flashlight Their car was parked in the middle of the dirt road, which had no cement paving. No streetlights or surveillance cameras were around. 

The forest was on both sides of the road. As there were many oak trees planted, it was dubbed an oak forest. 

The oak forest covered a large area. They weren’t sure if the fourth tree Isabella mentioned was from the left or right. If they didn’t have a plan and looked for it aimlessly, they might not be able to find the box until dawn. 

“Let’s start from the right and check them one by one. Our current direction is the main road toward the village. Logically speaking, the fourth tree is probably on the right side. 

Stephen used his flashlight to scan the forest on the right. As a local, he was familiar with this area. 

Nathan spread out a map and showed it to Hera. He had asked Stephen to circle the location of the oak forest and mark several major roads on the map before boarding the plane. 

Hera glanced at the markings. Even so, they were in the countryside, and this was just a map. The actual location and number of trees weren’t specified. 

“Is there another road at the end of the forest on both sides?” she asked. 

“Yes, but they’re all small roads. Most people won’t take them unless they re villagers.” 

Stephen took the pen, held the flashlight with his mouth, and marked the locations of the small roads on the map. 

Based on the marked roads, Nathan calculated the spots they would have to search and discovered roughly 20 of them. 

There were only three of them. Even if they searched separately, they would need to cover around six or seven positions each, which would exhaust them. 

“We have no other way. Let’s just do it!” Stephen took the flashlight and pointed at the map. “You two go together and search the area to the left. I’m familiar with the area, so I’ll go to the right side alone” 

As he spoke, he pulled out two walkie–talkies from the car and handed them to Nathan. “You two can take the car. Let’s stay in contact at all times.” 

Hera, who was pondering, suddenly stated, “I have an idea, but I don’t know if it’s feasible.” 

“What’s it?” the two men asked simultaneously. 

Seeing her point to the sky, Nathan and Stephen both looked up. On such a cloudy day, they couldn’t see the moon and only spotted a few stars. 

“What are we looking at?” Stephen turned back and looked at Hera in confusion. 

Hera explained, “I was referring to satellite monitoring 

“Wow, pretty girl! Your ideals quite bold!” Stephen gave her a thumbs- 

s–up.
