Vicky's expression darkened, and she immediately took Cece back to the corridor and said sternly, "They're after me and won't do anything to you. Cece, let's take different ways out."
"But..." Cece muttered worriedly.
"I'm not asking for your opinion," Vicky interrupted her. "If we both get caught, we can't even seek help."
Cece knew that Vicky was right. She clenched her jaw and turned to run in the other direction.
Since Valencia wanted nothing to do with her, Cece had not run into anyone on her way, and she made a sharp turn into the washroom before taking her phone out to make a call.
"Mister Gardner, I'm Cece. I think Vicky is in trouble..." Cece swiftly informed him of her address. "Mister Hart's mother is after Vicky. You need to get Mister Hart to come over right now."
Despite the mysterious man's warning, the venue was relatively small with limited exits. Valencia had come prepared, and Vicky did not get far before they captured her.
An hour later, Vicky was brought to a secluded mansion. Unlike Old Mister Hart's mansion, the mansion's interior was heavily influenced by the European style, occupying a vast area, with meticulously trimmed flowers and plants.
Vicky was led by two black-clad bodyguards to a pavilion within the estate. In the pavilion, a graceful and elegant lady sat opposite a stern-faced middle-aged man.
Although Old Mister Hart had employed some measures to bring her here, he had done so in a courteous manner. However, Vicky felt like a prisoner brought in chains at the moment.
Valencia's lips curled up into a chilling smile as she caught sight of Vicky from afar.
"Ms. Shaw, we agreed to have a private conversation, so why did you leave by yourself? Were you upset that we didn't welcome you with open arms and wanted it to be coaxed and pleaded to come?" she taunted.
