Now we've offended them, which means we've offended Mr. Jardin of the Jardin Corporation. If he seeks retribution, we have no way out. You're pushing us into a pit of fire!” Cecilia was indifferent to their plight. “Where are the items | asked for? Why haven't you found them yet?” The items you want? We've turned the place upside down and found nothing. We're going to lay low for a while. You should find someone else for your tasks,” the caller said before hurriedly ending the call.

If | don’t return by morning, call the police and ask to be taken to Southern Haven Villas. Fred's men will protect you there.

I'll come get you once | finish handling the matter.” Peering through the peephole, Blake saw two men dressed like plumbers in the hallway. But their menacing eyes gave them away. Blake believed they were not here with good intentions.
Blake covered her mouth to stifle any sound. She leaned against the wall in the silent darkness, her heart pounding wildly.
One of the men outside remarked, “Maybe there’s no one home.” “That's impossible. I've been watching all day. She’s definitely inside “Let's pick the lock and check.”
