Sebastian put the pen in Hendrix's hand and forced Hendrix to sign. I looked at Hendrix and then at Sebastian. I suddenly pulled out the knife from my waist, which had been given to me for protection. I grabbed hold of Sebastian and placed the knife at his throat. "Let us go, or we'll die together!" I called out.
"Do you think you can escape now?" Sebastian asked. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Hendrix, who was on the verge of death on the ground.
I suppressed the fear in my heart and clutched the knife in my hand with more strength. "Ask your people to bring him out of the room. Hurry up!" I ordered,
His insubordinates did not dare to act rashly when they saw this sudden turn of events. Noises came from outside and a group of people rushed in. Seeing Sheridan's familiar face, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Sebastian's men blocked their way. Sheridan raised the gun in his hand and suddenly fired a shot. "Don't move if you don't want to die!" he warned. His voice was particularly loud. Coupled with the gunfire, Sebastian's men did not dare to
make a move.
Sheridan asked his men to bring Hendrix out. After that, he looked at me and said, "Miss Reid, come here!" He pointed the gun at Sebastian and said, "Mr. Milton, sorry to offend you!"
Seeing this, I loosened my hands and walked out of the cold storage room. Sebastian's men did not dare to move because of the gun in Sheridan's hand. After getting out of the room, Sheridan asked his men to take off their clothes for me.
He looked at me and said, "Miss, get out of here. I will deal with them here!"
I looked at the people in the freezer and kept silent for a moment. Then, I looked at Sebastian and spoke, "I have underestimated you. You are willing to go to any lengths to achieve what you want."
Sebastian sneered and said, "Winner takes all. It's all because of money. Arianna, we're just different!"
