Joyce never recovered from the extreme shock. She crouched on the edge of the bed and she was still weak and feeble.
Three billion!
What did Otis want to do?
Would Justin help him?
God, how was she supposed to stop that?
She heard a "bang" outside, a heavy slamming of the door, followed by the roar of a car starting up.
Otis seemed to have really gone.
She didn't dare to move and continued to wait for a little while longer. She focused and listened.
After a long time, there was no more movement inside the villa, and she was relieved and was sure that Otis had finally left.
Only then did she dare to retrieve the magnetic ball and put it in her bag.
Fortunately, in order to defend herself, she always carried the magnetic ball with her, although she did not expect such a day when it would come in handy.
She felt her strength was coming back little by little, and the effect of the medicine seemed to be almost over.
Feeling like she could finally move around, she hurriedly stood up and left the room.
Then she started looking for her cell phone.
Finally, on the coffee table in the living room, she found her cell phone. When she opened it, the screen was almost full of missed calls. She frowned and had no time to see who was calling her at the moment.
Her jacket was also thrown on the couch.
She put her clothes back on in a hurry.
The most important thing for her now was to hurry up and get out of the shackles of Otis and leave this hellhole.
When she was just about to step out of the villa, she suddenly retracted her feet.
The words Otis said at that time came back to her mind, and she judged that the evidence that could prove Charlotte's guilt back then might be hidden inside this villa.
Since she was here today.
