qFollowing the loud thud, blood began to stream out of Chris' wound.
Chris let out a loud shriek as he collapsed from the sofa.
Immediately, Nancy seized this opportunity to crawl up and escape. She tried to open the door, only to find that it'd
been locked from the outside.
“Who's outside?” Nancy pounded her fists against the door. “Open the door this instance!” she demanded.
“Ms. Nancy, Mr. Gold instructed for you and Mr. Nacht to retire early tonight.” Outside, the maid spun on her heel
and left.
“Open the door!” Nancy screamed angrily. Yet, no one heeded her cries.
“You b*tch. How dare you hit me?” At the same time, Chris managed to regain his bearings.
Although he still had one hand pressed against his bloodied forehead, Chris grabbed Nancy's hair and wrenched the
latter away from the door. Before she could react, he tossed her to the bed and stripped off her clothes.

for his brute force.

intent of revenge.
Chris' erratic movements were akin to that of a wild beast. “Your father locked you in this room with me because he
wanted me to have you. Do you understand?” he hissed lowly in her ear.
In Chris' eyes, Nancy had become a scapegoat for the anger he harbored toward Jesse. The more he thought about
it, the angrier he got. As the fury consumed Chris, he could barely restrain his urge to murder Nancy.

Nevertheless, she brushed it off. I need to find Robbie as soon as possible.
In an attempt to locate Robbie quicker, Bruce and Sean split up to traverse different paths while Charlotte tagged
along with Bruce. They all hoped to find Robbie by three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Yet, the continuous heavy downpour thwarted their plans.
The rain made traveling difficult and further delayed their journey.
As time continued to pass, the sun soon emerged from the horizon.

disappointment.
After missing several nights of sleep, Charlotte was so exhausted that she nearly fainted when she reached the car.
Immediately, Bruce instructed Emma and two of his subordinates to bring Charlotte home for a good night's rest.
After all, she needed to preside over the board meeting tomorrow afternoon.
Despite Bruce's advice, Charlotte refused his help and insisted on staying in Yaleview. She was determined to find

Please pass this information on to Ms. Lindberg when she wakes up,” Lupine said in a rush.
“Okay. I got it.” Emma nodded.

With the phone in hand, Emma returned to the bedroom and prepared to keep watch over Charlotte. At that
moment, someone knocked on the door.
Hurriedly, Emma rushed to open the door. With a hushed voice, she asked, “What's the matter?”
“We found a lead. Robbie is no longer in Yaleview; they've smuggled him to H City. We are going to set off right now.
