This was an abandoned factory more than thirty kilometers away from the city. It looked dilapidated and was surrounded by deserted woods. Moreover, it was dark, so one could not help but start to shiver in their heart. Looking at this factory, Selena knew that the other party deliberately dragged the deal on until it was dark. They wanted to exhaust her until she lost her patience before they decided to proceed with the real deal.
"Jojo, stay in the car and don't move. I will go in by myself."
"Mommy, I'll go in with you."
"No!" Selena refused very sternly. She already felt that she made a wrong decision by bringing Joaquin out, so she must not allow her boy to risk his life by going in with her.
"Listen, Jojo, you're too young. I have the ability to protect myself, but you don’t. I know you're worried about Juniper too, but you're still too young, understand? If you get caught by the other party, I will really feel hopeless."
Joaquin lowered his head; he really wanted to grow up right away so that he could protect his sister and mother.
"I understand."
"I’ll give you the car keys." Selena handed over the car keys to Joaquin. "I know that you recognize these buttons, and you know what they do. Our car has a great security system, so if there are bad people coming, you must not open the door. Just hide in the car. Count the time from now on, and if I do not come out in half an hour, you will call the police. Can you remember that?"
Joaquin nodded solemnly. Next, Selena looked at him and smiled gratefully, after which she took the box of money and got ready to head to the location.
"Mommy!" Joaquin suddenly called out to Selena, and as soon as Selena turned her head over, he kissed her on the cheek. "I'll wait for you to come back."
"Okay, I will definitely come back."
