Not long after Credence left, Dorothy woke up as if she had sensed something. She opened her bleary eyes and looked around. She only saw Benjamin making a phone call outside. The man who seemed to have kissed her on her lips had left.
She was worried about Belle and Germaine’s safety so much that she did not fall asleep at all.
However, under Credence’s instruction, the female doctor who was treating her wounds added some components of sedatives to her medicine, and under the influence of the medicine, she fell into a state of drowsiness even if she didn’t want to sleep.
Her movements alerted Benjamin. He quickly put his phone back in his trouser pockets and walked towards her respectfully. “Mrs. Scott, Mr. Scott told me to send you home to wait for the news.”
When Benjamin called her “Mrs. Scott”, Dorothy was filled with mixed feelings. She had tried to stop him from calling her that lots of times, but she could never change the way he addressed her. She could only say helplessly, “We are divorced, his residence is not my home. How about this? Send me back to my apartment first.”
If he sent her back, wouldn’t she meet with Juelz?
Benjamin thought of Credence’s orders to him before he left, and he refused gently, “Sorry, Mrs. Scott, I can’t agree to your request.”
Dorothy could not do anything but to agree to that.
Her right leg was cast, thus she could not walk straight, and every step was filled with pain and difficulty.
However, she did not want Benjamin’s help. She gritted her teeth and walked out of the room and out of the gates of Rawland Lodge. Just as she was about to get on a car, a silver Maserati roared past her.
The sharp wind attracted Dorothy’s attention, she could not help but turn around to have a look. She happened to meet the cold and handsome man who was in the driver’s seat.
It was Jeremy!
Was he in a rush to save Germaine?
Jeremy took off his sunglasses that looked normal, but in actuality had the functions of remote observation. He narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Germaine, that silly woman, risked her life to save your daughter. You, on the other hand, are hiding in Talco City and waiting to see how things end.”
Why should he just quietly accept the bait Credence left him?
Since Credence had used Germaine as bait against him, he could also use Dorothy against Credence. It was only fair, wasn’t it?
His sarcastic words made Dorothy’s face and ears turn red, she felt embarrassed.
When Jeremy drove away, Dorothy got in the car and ordered Benjamin, “He must be heading to save Germaine. Follow him.”
Benjamin was in a dilemma. A conflicted expression appeared on his face. “Mrs. Scott, before Mr. Scott told me I had to keep you safe before he left. What if, what if something were to happen to you? Mr. Scott would rip my head off and kick it like a football.”
“But, Benjamin, if anything happens to Germaine or Belle, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!”
Dorothy closed her eyes slightly, as she felt guilty. “I would rather be the one hurt and kidnapped instead of them, do you understand?”
As a parent, her child’s life was more important than her own.
As for Germaine, she stood in her place and got hurt for her. How could she bear to watch Germaine get hurt while she stayed in Talco City? How could she not do anything?
Benjamin could see the resolute in Dorothy’s eyes and thought for a while. In the end, he agreed to conceal this matter. He did not call Mr. Scott to inform him about this. He would ask for his forgiveness once they reached Mandalay Town.
…
At 7:30 p. m.
A middle-sized bus was driving on the main road in the suburbs of Mongla County
A scarred man was driving, and Rosalie sat in the passenger seat. Her eyes were fierce and a cold expression was on her face. Two men were sitting on both ends of the rear seats by the windows.
Two girls were lying in the middle. A woman and a little girl who was nearly six years old to be precise.
Germaine was disheveled and hands and feet were wrapped tightly with white tape. She was gagged with a dirty and smelly cloth as she glared at Rosalie’s direction. She wished she had a weapon with her so that she could blast that d*mned b*tch’s head off.
Belle was lying next to her. Her face was flushed and her eyes were closed. She was tied up just like her. She wondered if Rosalie had succumbed to her conscience a little or for other reasons, she did not gag Belle with a dirty and smelly cloth too. Instead, she tapped her mouth to prevent her from making a ruckus.
Rosalie turned around and saw Germaine glaring at her angrily as if she wanted to kill her. She smiled and said, “Germaine, you were stupid enough to get implicated, how can you blame me? If I wasn’t sure that Belle was Dorothy’s daughter, I would have thought that she was your illegitimate child instead.”
B*tch… Shameless!
Germaine was so angry that her eyes widened, and her eyes, which used to be as bright as sunshine, were now redder than blood. She cursed from the deepest parts of her throat, but the voice stopped at her lips. She hissed fiercely.
“Are you trying to curse me and say that I am shameless?”
Rosalie smiled calmly and said, “Germaine, I’m not as shameless as that sister of mine. She stole my boyfriend before her marriage, and still went after my fiancé after her divorce.”
“Not only that, I am inferior to you in terms of shamelessness too! Everyone in Talco City knows how many men you have slept with. You change your sleeping partner faster than you can read a book.”
“However, it’s such a pity. You could never sleep with the man you want to sleep with the most. You don’t even have the chance to touch him. Speaking of this, you are more pitiful than I am. What makes you think you have the right to look down on me?”
With this, she looked up at the road ahead and saw the direction they were heading. She knew that Mandalay Town was only an hour away. She glanced at the three stout men in the car with charming eyes. Endless hatred could be seen on her face. “When we arrive, take these two ladies into the room and do whatever you want with them. Remember, we still have important things to do. I will only give you half an hour.”
Half an hour was more than enough time to finish everything that was not completed back in Rawland Lodge.
Had it not been the spy who called and said that Credence was coming over, Dorothy’s daughter and Germaine would have long been f*cked until they were almost dead by these inhumane gangsters.
By that time, she would record Belle’s tragic fate and send it to Credence and Dorothy for them to watch.
It was best if Dorothy could collapse and die from depression, as well as make Credence regret for the rest of his life.
Only then would she consider it as quelling a little bit of her intense hatred for them.
“Thank you, Miss Rosalie.”
Several men looked at each other for a few seconds. They were a little scared of this beautiful woman, who had just sworn the boss as her Godfather.
The bus stopped when they reached a very simple hostel.
Germaine and Belle could not resist at all. They were wrapped up in a huge black bag, and three men carried them into the room near the main door on the first floor.
“Germaine, take your goddaughter with you and enjoy this moment of pleasure.”
Rosalie sneered as she walked out. Following that, the door slammed shut.
The facilities inside were so plain that there were only two small beds in the small room. Germaine had already been removed from the tape on her mouth and body. She held Belle, who had just woken up, in her arms tightly as she stared at those three pairs of fat and greasy hands approaching her. She felt nauseous and wanted to puke, “What are you trying to do?”
She protected Belle and retreated. Suddenly, her bra was pulled away rudely by one of the men. Her curly hair fell on top of her chest but still could not cover that beautiful scene. Germaine screamed loudly, “Don’t come over, no!”
