Chapter 338
They closed the car door as soon as everybody got inside. Then, the car started.
Trevor frowned and said into the phone, “I have to go. I’ll call you back later. Bye.”
Then, he spoke to Xavier after hanging up. “Followed that car in front of us. Keep a safe distance, and
don’t let them notice us.”
Xavier immediately started the car and followed the black SUV.
That SUV was very cautious. It evaded all the monitored areas and drove into an alley.
Xavier parked the car on the other end of the valley and waited for some time. All they saw was a white
minivan coming out, but not the black SUV.
Xavier frowned. “This isn’t right. That alley is only about half a mile long and there’s no intersection
inside. It’s impossible for that car to travel this long inside.”
Trevor paused and laughed. “She’s escaped,” he said flatly with an amused look on his face.
“How is that possible?” Xavier paused. “Are you saying that she was in that minivan?”
The alley was only wide enough for one car to drive through. The SUV was nowhere to be seen, yet a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhite minivan came out of there. So, the only possibility was that they changed into another vehicle.
Xavier was surprised. “I followed that SUV from so far away. How did she notice?”
Trevor thought for a moment before he said, “I don’t think she did. She was just being smart and
cautious.”
“Mr. Saun, what should we do now?”
The minivan had left more than a few minutes ago. There was just no way that they could catch up.
Trevor tapped at the leather seat of his car before he lifted his gaze and asked, “Which area around here
has a poor surveillance system?”
“The west.”
“Let’s go there.”
Aurora woke up. She opened her eyes, and darkness was all she could see. She was blindfolded, and
her mouth was taped too. All her limbs were tied tightly, and she could not move an inch.
The fear ran wild inside her as she tried to break free. Her mouth was taped, so she could only make a
humming noise from her nose.
Opposite her, Stella stood emotionlessly and happily watched Aurora’s panicked expression. Then,
Stella went forward and tore off the tape over her mouth.
The abrupt pain made Aurora whimper.
Then, she shouted in horror while ignoring the pain. “Who are you?! Why did you kidnap me? Do you
know who I am? My family won’t let you get away with this! Let me go now if—
-ugh-
Stella stuffed a dirty cloth in Aurora’s mouth before she could finish talking. The cloth went so
deep in her mouth that she almost gagged.
Before she could process what was happening, Aurora felt a sharp slap on her face, and her ears
buzzed.
There were tiny rocks wrapped in the dirty cloth. Blood started flowing in her mouth after she was
slapped.
Aurora had never experienced anything like that. She burst out crying.
However, her eyes and mouth were covered. She could not make a sound even though she was crying
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher heart out.
She did not look so tough anymore. She kept shaking her head, hoping to spit out the little rocks. Then,
she could tell her kidnapper that she had a lot of money so that they would stop hurting her.
However, she was not given any chances to do that as she was slapped again and again…
Keegan could not reach Stella, so he called Felicity instead.
However, Felicity did not know where Stella went either, and she could not find her at the Rotona
Pinnacle Hospital.
They looked everywhere they could, but it seemed like Stella just disappeared out of thin air.
The worry in Keegan kept growing.
At the same time, Xavier saw the minivan turning out from an intersection, and he said softly, “Ms. Saun,
it’s here.”
Trevor looked up and saw that minivan parked beside the road. After a while, the door was opened.
Stella got out of the car. She had changed into a gray overcoat.
She stood there for a while after the minivan left. She put her hands into her pockets and went in the
opposite direction after the minivan completely disappeared from her sight.
She was not walking very fast. She bowed her head down as if she was thinking about
something. Then, when a harsh white light shone at her, she lifted her head.
