Chapter 287
Madeline’s heart raced and she was nervous.
From the sound, the men had already reached the door. Madeline had no other options. She needed to act now.
Bracing through the pain of her bleeding hands, Madeline moved an abandoned chair.
The men outside were already tinkling with the lock. After taking a rock from the ground, Madeline stepped on the chair.
“F*ck! Didn’t you open the door just now? How did you lose the key? Look for it, now!” An angry voice rang out from outside the door.
Hearing them, Madeline realized that this was a great opportunity for her.
Staring at the broken window in front of her, she raised the rock to hit it.
Crash!
The glass shattered instantly with a crisp crack.
The people by the door immediately fell silent for a few seconds before someone roared. “F*ck! The chick couldn’t have run off, could she?”
“What? She ran off?” A woman’s infuriated voice drifted over, followed by an order. “Kick the door down! The two of you, look for her outside. She couldn’t have gone far!”
With that, the room door was quickly opened with force.
When they ran in, Meredith and the two men were met with the sight of a bundle of ropes on the ground.
“Vera Quinn!” Meredith clenched her teeth. Lifting her head, she found the small window with its glass broken and its remnants clinging to a small piece of cloth. “I can’t believe she actually ran off! Go, run after her! Either you find her, or I’ll kill you!”
“Let’s go! We’ve got to find her, quick!” The thugs immediately chased after the loose woman cooperatively.
Meredith kicked the pile of rope and ran out in humiliation.
The surroundings grew quiet.
Slowly, Madeline poked her head out of the pile of junk. Her onyx orbs surveyed the room before her gaze fell on Meredith who stood impatiently by the side.
“I was right. It was you, after all, Meredith.”
Madeline was hardly shocked.
She took a deep breath and was glad that she had made the smart choice.
