Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1280

"Yes. They weren't naturally mute. Their tongues had been cut out."

"How cruel!" I couldn't help but exclaim.

"I spent every day looking for an opportunity to escape. I didn't even know where we were or what time it was. But judging from the environment and vegetation, it seemed like we were in Southeast Torado."

"He really put a lot of effort into this." I gritted my teeth in anger.

"But to me, it didn’t matter where I was. What was terrifying was that I didn't know what was happening outside those mountains. I didn’t know if Clark’s words were true.

"I didn't see Clark for a long time. I threatened those two guards later, saying I wanted to see him. I had no choice, so I resorted to a hunger strike. I had to find out what was happening outside.

"If it was true that Louis and Tammy were dead, how had their death been handled? And what about ATL Empire? To be honest, I was more worried about Lucille. I had no idea how she would have reacted to the news of my death. And you two…” My father's lips trembled violently.

"My threats worked. I finally saw Clark after three days of my hunger strike. He brought me all kinds of reports about the incident, including pictures of the plane crash. I felt utterly hopeless, and I wished I were dead.
