Frederick didn't move right away. He strode over to Sadie, his tone icy. "Call her again, and put it on speaker."
"Okay!"
Sadie immediately dialed Marguerite's number. After a brief pause, the call started ringing.
The call actually went through!
Sadie looked at Frederick, puzzled, only to see his worried expression suddenly gloomy.
"This..." Sadie seemed a bit nervous.
"Didn't the call get through? Don't make a mountain out of a molehill." He turned away, his face cold. "Get out."
Sadie looked at her phone screen, then at Frederick, and left with apprehension.
"How could this happen? It was out of service just now, how could it suddenly get through..."
Sadie muttered under her breath, but Frederick didn't care.
He was convinced that Marguerite was just throwing a fit and refusing to come home. Little did he know what she was going through right now.
...
After being shoved into a bag, Marguerite was driven by Ablett to Marina Shores Village and dumped in a warehouse there.
The warehouse was not far from the house that had been burnt down, only about a three-minute walk.
He found a local mad beggar to watch Marguerite, and paid him a hefty sum.
Ablett had already planned that once Marguerite died, even if the police got involved, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to him.
After all, who would believe the babblings of a madman?
After Ablett left, Marguerite gradually regained some consciousness.
The intense pain in her body caused her to slow down. When she woke up, she found herself tied up and stuffed into a large, dark bag, unable to move.
She had no idea where she was, and the cold wind and eerie silence filled her with fear.
Marguerite yelled in panic, "Is anyone there? Can anyone help me?"
The mad beggar hit the iron bars of the window with a rod, stuttering, "You... shut up! Just die already... once you starve to death, my... my mission will be complete!"
The Lockwood family was really ruthless. They not only tied her up and put her in a plastic bag, but also planned to let her starve to death?
Marguerite was filled with hatred!
She hated the Lockwood family for treating her life so cruelly!
She also hated herself for being so stupid and falling into their trap again.
As the night deepened, the cold seeped into every part of Marguerite's body. She curled up, helpless.
She felt her eyelids getting heavier and sleepiness creeping in.
No! She couldn't sleep! Absolutely not!
If she fell asleep, she might never wake up again!
Marguerite, you must hold on!
Just think about the Lockwood family's hatred for you. Think about your grandmother still in the hospital.
You have to survive, get out of here alive, and then fight back...
