Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Plot Within a Plot (Part 2) 

Olivia lay on the bed with her body temperature rising, and she felt increasingly weak. 

In a panic, she dialed Max's number. 

"Hello," a deep voice answered on the other end. 

"Max, it's me, Olivia. I... I've been drugged at The Grand Plaza Hotel, Room 802. Please, hurry and save me." 

"Olivia, you can call the police or your Uncle Curtis..." 

"No, Max, I need you to save me..." 

Olivia writhed on the bed in intense discomfort. Before she could finish speaking, Max heartlessly hung up the phone. 

Struggling to her feet, she made her way unsteadily to the hotel room door. As she was about to touch the doorknob, she hesitated and retracted. 

"Max, I don't believe you won't come to save me! I'm betting on you!" 

With that, Olivia gritted her teeth and returned to the bed. She smoothed out her beautiful red dress, imagining the moment when Max would kick the door open. A slight smile instinctively played on her lips. 

After all these years, this day had finally come. 

... 

Meanwhile, in the hotel corridor, Adeline caught a glimpse of Jonathan's figure, fleeting like a shadow. 

Intermittent cries of a girl echoed from around the corner. 

"Please." 

"No." 

"Please spare me." 

Those voices were eerily reminiscent of that girl from years ago. 

Without hesitation, Adeline followed the sounds. 

Arriving at the last room at the corner, the door had just closed. 

Adeline knocked on the door, "Jonathan, open the door! If you don't open, I'm calling the police! Open up!" 

Desperate, Adeline turned the doorknob and, to her surprise, it was successfully twisted open. 

She rushed inside and intended to help that girl. 

Just a few steps in, she hesitated and considered calling Curtis to provide him with the address. Unexpectedly, a loud thud struck her head, inflicting pain, and she then lost consciousness as she collapsed to the ground. 

At that moment, Curtis, who was in the private room, felt an unsettling discomfort in his chest. 

He glanced at his watch. It hadn't been long, but Adeline should have been here by now.
