“Okay, I’ll wait here!” said Lennie, “But you have to get me something good!”
“Of course!” Carson vouched for it.
After 10 minutes, his men were still nowhere to be seen. Lennie was getting impatient! “Carson, where are your men!? Callum, let’s go in and take a look!”
“Lennie! They are coming!” said Carson as he stood in front of them.
“Carson, are you hiding some treasures in the warehouse? Treasures that you cannot let us know about??” Lennie teased.
“No way!” Carson denied.
“Save me…” Suddenly, someone was yelling for help!
Callum’s ears twitched!
Carson was taken aback, he quickly said loudly, “Lennie, are you thirsty? Let’s go have some tea! We may need to wait a bit longer since those are really heavy and it may take quite some time for them!”
“Save me…” The voice was so familiar!
Callum could tell that it was Leila!
He frowned and wanted to listen to it closer, but there was no more noise.
He looked at Carson and Lennie puzzledly, “Did you guys hear someone yelling for help?”
Lennie was busy talking and didn’t hear anything, she shook her head, “How could it be? It must be something else.”
“Yeah, how could someone be yelling for help?” Carson smiled, but he had an odd expression on his face.
Callum looked at him suspiciously. He tried to listen more closely, but he really couldn’t hear anything. And then, a few people walked out with a few boxes of firework in their hands. Lennie was excited and Callum was distracted.
Lennie was very excited as she finally got the fireworks she wanted, she was so pleased, “Carson, thank you. We’ll be taking our leave!”
“Yeah, just call me if you need more. I’ll get someone to send some over, no need for you to come over since it’s far,” Carson said in a relief.
“But it’s fun getting them yourself!!”
“Alright! You can just come to get some when you want to!”
“Bye!” Lennie waved her hand and got into the car.
Callum looked around suspiciously while driving back and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary. He was a bit out of it on the way home because he thought that he heard Leila’s voice. But why didn’t Lennie and Carson hear anything? Was it really something else?
In front of the warehouse.
Carson frowned and was listening to his subordinate’s report, “Vincent seemed to realize that the body they found didn’t belong to Leila. He increased the manpower on the search team. Carson, what should we do next…”
“The cargo ship is only reaching in the night. Don’t worry, he won’t be able to find her within 7 hours! And when they get here, the ladies will already be sold to Southeast Asia for prostitution!” Carson’s face turned dark.
In the warehouse, Leila was tied to a pole!
“No use yelling for help!” Pippa scoffed, “Nobody will save you!”
Leila tried to calm down, it was only two of them now. She tried her best to calm her nerves and looked at Pippa who was walking towards her calmly.
Pippa said, “If you’re cooperative, you won’t be tied up. Look at me, I’m free to walk around!”
Leila shook her head calmly; she was really speechless. She sympathized and felt sorry for Pippa, and she didn’t even know how to be mad at her because she was just too pitiful!
Pippa smirked, and her beautiful face turned hideous from her twisted and vile expressions, “I’m waiting for that ugly guy to rape you.”
Leila sighed; she was really speechless.
How could she be so relaxed? Pippa stood afar and looked at Leila’s calm face, she felt a bit angry. She walked over and slapped Leila on the face.
Leila was shocked for a moment, her face started to burn and not long after a handprint could be seen. But she quickly remained calm and looked at Pippa’s vicious face. That soft and pretty face was now evil and wintry, she wasn’t as pretty as before anymore.
“I’m going to kill you! I’m going to be the winner; nobody can get things that I cannot!” She was the winner, only her. Pippa grimaced deeply, her eyes filled with poison and bitterness.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
