“Mr. Scott, not only is Mrs. Scott’s daughter missing, but Germaine was kidnapped as well when she went to search for her.”
Benjamin ran into the fast food restaurant as fast as he could and spoke quickly to Credence and Dorothy.
“Germaine is kidnapped as well?”
The fork and spoon in Dorothy’s hands fell on the table and made a loud noise. Her eyes were burning red and her lips were even paler. She was even more worried about Belle and Germaine now.
She took a deep breath and reached out to grab Credence’s sleeve. Her lips trembled as she said, “Credence, I’m begging you, please help me save them, I’m begging you.”
“I will help even if you didn’t beg me.”
A cold light flashed in Credence’s eyes. He suddenly stood up, asked Benjamin to pay the bill, took Dorothy’s small hand, and strode to the place where the accident happened.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Dorothy did not shrug off the man’s big hand. Instead, she let him lead the way to the female bathroom on the east side of the amusement park.
Uniformed policemen could be seen all over the place. A yellow warning line was set up to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering at will. Tampering with the crime scene would only bring unnecessary trouble to the detectives.
Dorothy glanced around and saw that Ivana was also there. She was wearing a black uniform and long pants, she looked calm and heroic too, but her brows were tight. It was obvious that this was a difficult kidnapping case.
Dorothy had always been grateful to Ivana for taking care of her in prison. Just as she was about to go over and greet her, Credence threw a cigarette into the trash can and walked towards Ivana. He straightforwardly asked her in a deep voice, “How much evidence have you found?”
Ivana turned around and recognized the two of them. She was surprised at the intimacy between the two of them. However, she felt the sharp aura surrounding the man, so she only nodded and smiled at Dorothy. She immediately put away her smile, looked at the cold-faced man in front of her, and told him everything she knew.
“Mr. Scott, I got a call saying Miss Fisher’s daughter was in trouble, so I immediately came to the scene. Sorry, but we haven’t gotten much useful information yet.”
“We only know that there were two cleaners who acted strangely had entered the bathroom at that time. After that, the child disappeared.”
When Ivana wanted to say more, the man quickly walked past her and entered the female bathroom.
Dorothy stayed behind and said a few words to Ivana in a daze. Suddenly, the phone in her leather bag rang.
She pulled out her phone and smiled apologetically at Ivana. “I’m sorry, I have to answer a call first.”
After that, she went to a remote corner and glanced at the strange number that was constantly flashing on the screen. She took a slight breath and pressed the answer button.
She had a feeling that Rosalie was the one making this phone call.
Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, Rosalie’s cold and smug laughter could be heard from the other end. “Dorothy, you and Credence’s precious daughter are already in my hands. Oh, and Germaine too. She was in my way. Now, the two of them, an adult and a child, are both tied up and shivering under me!”
“Tell me, do you want me to find a gang of pedophiles to break your precious daughter’s body first, or do you want Germaine to be gang-raped first?”
“One is your daughter, and the other is your best friend. Dorothy, you have to make a choice. Will you choose your family over friendship?”
“If you chose your family, then you will lose your friendship. However, if you chose friendship, you will lose your family!”
“Remember, from this moment on, you only have five seconds to make a choice! One, two, three, four…”
“Rosalie Fisher, you’ve lost all conscience, you’re an inhumane madman!”
Listening to the ridiculous choices Rosalie had given her, Dorothy trembled with anger and interrupted her in a hurry. She felt an immensely painful feeling in her heart as she shouted in a hoarse and low voice, “Let Belle and Germaine go. Come at me if you want your revenge, I’m not afraid of you! I wasn’t scared a decade ago, and I won’t be now!”
“Our parents are dead. Who else can help you apart from yourself?”
“Rosalie, I would advise you to be kinder. Don’t be so evil! If you force me to a dead end, I will do that to you too. If anything, I’ll give a life for a life. I’m not afraid of you!”
“Dorothy, you are quite arrogant. When you were in the Fisher family, you were a gentle, tolerant, and considerate older sister. What, now that you’re hooking up with Credence again, you have his support so you don’t want to pretend to be gentle anymore?”
“Haha, I’ll take your life sooner or later. Not just yours, but Credence’s too. I want the two of you to bury alongside my parents.”
“Now, the game has officially begun. Let me ask you again. Do you choose your precious daughter or Germaine? If you don’t make a choice, I will make it for you.”
“I have decided to separate your daughter and Germaine into different rooms. I’ll tell your daughter that you have abandoned her and chose to protect Germaine.”
“After that, I will tell Germaine that her so-called best friend had given up on her and chose to protect her daughter.”
“What do you think, Dorothy? Isn’t this game fun?”
“Shut up. Shut your d*mned mouth!”
It felt like her heart was being stabbed, Dorothy was in extreme panic. She shook her head desperately, and her right hand that was holding the phone, trembled, “I am the one you want. I beg you, let them go.”
“I am the one you want. I am the one who owes you and the Fisher family! Let them go and I will come to find you. You can do whatever you want with me!”
“Killing you is a matter of sooner or later! But now, I think it’s not bad to play this game with you.” Rosalie sneered on the phone, “Dorothy, the game has officially begun. Listen, isn’t the sound of your daughter crying terribly from being played with by p*dophiles pleasant to hear?”
Upon hearing this, Dorothy’s heart sank. The next second, she didn’t know what Rosalie had done, soon she heard Belle’s hoarse and shrill shrieks.
“You bad uncles, go away, mommy, save me… mommy, where are you?”
The soft and thin screams of the little girl broke Dorothy’s heart.
Every time her daughter called for mommy, a knife stabbed into her heart.
Dorothy’s eyes were filled with painful tears, “Rosalie, please, let go of my baby. She is still a child. She is not even six yet!”
On the other end of the phone, Rosalie seemed to have met with a situation, she did not answer her. Instead, she lowered her voice and talked to someone else. Dorothy could vaguely hear the words, “Rawland Lodge”.
Suddenly, the phone was cut off, and only a busy buzzing tone could be heard.
Dorothy’s mind went blank. Only the words “Rawland Lodge” kept repeating in her mind.
She suddenly realized that Belle and Germaine must have been locked up in that place. Even if they weren’t, they should be near.
“Mrs. Scott, where are you going?”
After Benjamin paid the bill, he rushed towards the crime scene. Halfway there, he saw Dorothy running in a hurry. Her pale face was streaked with tears, and she did not notice him calling her. She quickly ran out of the amusement park, entered a taxi, and left quickly.
He had a bad feeling in his heart and called Credence in a hurry.
