Hearing this, Aveline's face darkened immediately.
Were they really going to force her if she refused to leave?
No way! She couldn't leave!
Someone had already come to rescue her—she just needed to buy some time.
Backing away step by step, her mind raced as she mentally reconstructed the layout of the room.
Her left hand brushed against a table, and her eyes lit up.
Listening carefully to the footsteps approaching, she grabbed the heavy sailboat figurine from the table and hurled it toward the nearest person!
The figurine was large and heavy, almost too much for her to lift, but she managed to throw it.
The two bodyguards, seeing it coming, dodged quickly.
The sailboat hit the ground with a loud thud, the sound reverberating through the room.
The guards looked shaken—if they’d been hit, they’d have been seriously injured!
Aveline was a blind woman, but she reacted so quickly!
Wanda grew more anxious. "Hurry up! They’re almost here!"
Seizing the brief moment of distraction, Aveline continued retreating, feeling her way toward the bathroom.
She remembered—it should be to her right...
As she moved, she grabbed and tossed anything she could behind her to slow them down. At last, her fingers found the bathroom door handle. She darted inside and quickly locked the door.
One of the bodyguards cursed and shouted at Wanda, "Get the spare key!"
"Oh, right! I'll go get it now!" Wanda stammered, finally snapping out of her shock and rushing off to fetch the key.
Aveline heard the commotion outside. They had a spare key—it was only a matter of time before they got in. She couldn't just wait around!
