Seeing Ambrose's struggle, the man fiercely lashed him twice with a whip! He then used a camera to capture Ambrose's pitiful condition.
Blood trickled down Ambrose's pale body. The shattered beauty of pure white, laced with profound malice, was somehow more captivating than taking drugs.
The burly man swallowed, finally giving the camera a lecherous grin as he spoke. “I'm only giving you half an hour. If you're not at Catfish Harbor in that time, he's done for! Rest assured, I'll make sure to record his pitiful state for you to see! When the time comes, you can go fish his body out of the water! Remember, you only have half an hour!”
After he finished speaking, the screen flickered and then went dark.
Calista sat on the edge of the bed, her hand clutching the phone was trembling! How dare they? How could they dare to touch someone as innocent and pure as Ambrose?
A storm of malice swirled within her shadowy eyes. She was suddenly reminded of Ambrose's untarnished smile each time he saw her. Yet, just as quickly, she was confronted by the image of him ensnared in darkness and subjected to torment. Her fingers trembled slightly. Her hand hadn't fully healed, but at that moment, she was overcome with the desire to wring someone's neck!
Just at that moment, Quintus barged in with his men. Seeing that Calista was still there, he let out a long sigh of relief. “Ms. Calista, it's good that you're at home. Kiefer has shown up, and the authorities have already dispatched people. However, it's extremely dangerous outside right now, so you mustn't leave!”
However, just as he finished speaking, Calista suddenly stood up and walked toward the desk.
“Ms. Calista?” Quintus stared at her in shock and saw her pull a gun out of the drawer!
That was a custom firearm given to Calista by Kallum for self-defense, something she had never used before.
A sense of foreboding rose within Quintus' heart. “Are you heading out?”
Calista gave him a cold glance, methodically loading bullets one by one. Simultaneously, she inquired, “How many people did you bring?”
Upon hearing Calista's words, Quintus tensed up, instinctively replying, “Ten Parker Guards and fifteen Ludlow Guards.”
The bodyguards, all trained by the Fairchild family, had been put to work ensuring her safety. Kallum had certainly gone to great lengths for her.
Calista's lips slightly curled into a smile. “Great, let's go somewhere.”
Quintus desperately wanted to stop her. Horington was in utter chaos at the moment, so it was far too dangerous to venture out! However, there was an intimidating aura about Calista that made Quintus swallow his words bit by bit. “What are you planning to do?”
Calista firmly secured the magazine, narrowing her eyes as she spoke harshly. “I'm going to murder someone!”
