Chapter 1041 Arabella found herself puzzled. She skimmed through their past conversations, but couldn't find any agreed-upon secret code.
Could it be that they had arranged it privately without her knowing? [Please state the code.] The stranger sent another message.
Arabella suspected that they might have sensed her confusion. She handed the photo to Romeo, "Can you figure out where this place is?" "Letsee." Romeo took her phone. The photo captured a lakeside setting, with no other significant clues except for a single pink camellia.
Using andeveloped by his company, he managed to narrow down the location to Summerfield. After he searched for similar sites, a few potential matches appeared on the screen.
“These two locations are too far. From Summerfteld College, it would take at least two hours to reach, so we can rule them out.” Arabella analyzed, “Of the temaining three, two have camellias. Where could Joyce and Mavis be?" It was hard to tell.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"We should get on the plane first." Romeo took her hand, leaving the masked man for Carl to handle.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The henchmen waited but received no code from the masked man.
Suspecting that he might be in danger, they decided to stick to the original plan and brought Joyce and Mavis to the lakeside.
Tied up and dragging stones, the girls struggled to move, constantly stumbling and falling.
With a shaky voice, Mavis pleaded, "Sir, we have no grudges against each other. Why are you doing this? If it's money you want, | can call my family for a ransom of $1,000." Joyce was also scared, "If we're to die, at least let us know why.
“Where have we offended you, or what is it that you want? At least tell us." The masked men ignored them, pulling them up and forcefully pushing them forward each tthey fell.
“Ouch.” Mavis fell again, her knee grazed by the stones. Another masked man roughly pulled her up.
Although her arms and legs were bound, Mavis instinctively clung onto the man's clothes, “Please, tell us the truth before we die" “ls someone ordering you to do this? Who is it? We're about to die, we won't be able to hold anyone accountable, just tell us." No matter how Joyce and Mavis pleaded, the men remained silent.
Mavis was dragged to the lakeside, despite her struggles. "Letgo!" Joyce darted forward and knocked the man aside. "Mavis, don't be scared" "Joyce, | don't want to die." Mavis sobbed, but then a sound echoed from the sky.
The noise startled the masked men. They looked up to see a helicopter.
Could it be a rescue team? The system on the helicopter quickly detected seven or eight figures on the ground, indicating the presence of people.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Could it be someone here to rescue us?" Mavis didn't care anymore and screamed at the top of her lungs, “Help! Please, help us!" Her cries were drowned out by the noise from the helicopter, but it reminded the masked men that they were running out of time.
As the helicopter was about to land, the strong wind forced the men to shield their eyes. The wind was too strong, and the noise was deafening.
One of the masked men picked up Mavis’ stone, ready to throw it into the lake.
"No!" Joyce quickly got up and knocked him down.
He was furious and punched at Joyce, but Mavis saw it and rammed her head into him. “How dare you hit my friend! I'll kill you!" Seeing the girls becmore and more defiant, the masked men threw their stones into the lake.
Mavis and Joyce were immediately dragged into the water by the weight of the stones.
