A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 539

"Don't even think about it. By the time your father gets here, you will have already been sold to rich, old perverts." Yilia's eyes burned with contempt, and she snuffed out the last glimmer of hope like a candle.

Her discouraging words forced the girl to helplessly cry out for help, "Dad..."

"No! This cannot be happening," Beryl firmly clenched her tiny fists, "My father will be here soon to save me, and he will also save you. Don't be afraid, Mona!"

"Who is your father? Do you really think he is capable of getting us out of here? Is he a powerful man?" Yillia made no effort to conceal her sarcasm.

Beryl looked at her with intent and replied, "My father is more powerful than any man you will have ever known. His name is Jacob Gu. He'll come for me. You'll see!"

"Jacob Gu?" Yilia shook her head, as if she didn't catch what Beryl had said. "Your father is Jacob Gu? Are you kidding me? I don't believe it!"

"I don't need you to believe me." Beryl held the other girl's hand and sat down on the other side.

Yilia carefully observed the pretty little girl again, and she realized that Beryl did bear a striking resemble to Jacob. All of a sudden, her mind was sent reeling, unable to accept the possibility of the little girl telling the truth.

"Is your father really Jacob, little girl?"

Beryl said nothing in response. She didn't have the patience to sit around trying to win Yilia's acceptance.

"Even though you are Jacob's daughter, you are sitting here with us all just like any other girl. By tomorrow, we will all be sold. Are you sure he will be here on time to get you out of here?"

'If this girl truly is Jacob's daughter, the kidnappers are going to pay for what they've done to her with their lives when Jacob comes to rescue his daughter, ' Yilia mused.

Beryl, however, was lost in deep thought, mulling over what Yilia had said.

Her father did not hear her screaming his name before she got taken away. How would he know that she was in Z country looking for him, let alone the fact that she got kidnapped there?

The more she analyzed it logically, the more unlikely it seemed that her father was coming to save her!

What was she to do? She would have to save herself, without her father's help!

But what could a little girl like her do against those kidnappers?

Beryl looked around, carefully observing the fellow victims in the warehouse. She wondered whether they would stand a chance if all of them fought together?

The moment Yilia noticed Beryl's suspicious behavior, she taunted, "Little girl, what are you up to?"

Beryl hesitated for a moment, but when she considered the fact that adding one more person to their numbers would strengthen them, she decided to speak her mind. "Auntie, I have an idea," said Beryl, under her breath.

Yilia scoffed disapprovingly, "Who are you calling auntie? Do I look like an auntie to you?"

Beryl was irritated by her reaction. After all, this was neither the time nor the place to be arguing about such trivial matters. She rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, fine. Sister, I have an idea..."

Yilia seemed pleased by the change Beryl had made. After hearing out Beryl's idea, she taunted her, "I thought you said you wanted to wait for your father? What now? Have you lost your confidence in your father?"

Beryl shook her head, but she looked determined. "Of course I have confidence in my father, but it's always better to have a plan B. What if you're right and my father doesn't make it here on time. Do you want to get sold to some rich, depraved man? I don't think you'd want to be someone's play thing, would you?"

"For sure." Yilia sat there thinking, her eyes focused on nothing in particular. Having considered everything, she decided to accept Beryl's suggestion. She then turned to discuss it with the other adult women in the warehouse.

At first, some of the women seemed skeptical about Beryl's proposal. However, after watching another woman being dragged out and abused, everyone buried their doubts. The shrill cry of the helpless woman gave them chills.

It was clear to them, that if they didn't fight back, one of them could be the next to go.

The little girls trembled in their arms, and some of them could not stop crying. Everything they had witnessed in the past few days was far beyond their comprehension. Sometimes the world could be a dark place, devoid of light and hope.

Soon, the time to act had presented itself.
