“This is not your fault…”
“Peter, they will set you free soon. I have some money on my credit card, and the password is Ellie’s birthday. Take it to cover your medical expenses…”
As Sharon spoke, the loudspeaker announced that the flight to T Nation could be boarded soon. That prompted Sharon to snatch the phone away and hang up.
“I’m not done yet…”
Slap!
Olivia was still talking when Sharon slapped her across her face. The latter even scolded through gritted teeth, “You b*tch. Why are you talking so much? Are you trying to send a secret message?”
“No, I wasn’t,” replied Olivia while crying, “Peter is so injured that he can barely talk, so how am I supposed to send him a secret message? I was simply worried about him being further dragged into this mess.”
Sharon thought about it and agreed, “Oh, you’re right about that. You are willing to betray Charlotte for that man, so there is no way you’d let him risk his life again. Besides, he is so sick that he is on his deathbed. There is no way he can do anything even if you had sent him a message.”
Olivia had her head down and kept crying.
“Come on. Carry the kid and board the plane with me. Hurry!” commanded Sharon.
Olivia stood up with Ellie and obediently followed along.
Two foreign bodyguards were monitoring her, so she couldn’t try anything at all. All she could do was keep her head down.
There was a long queue to the plane, but Sharon got first-class tickets and everyone could cut the line. Hence, everyone was in a separate lane and waiting for the officers to check their tickets.
Olivia turned around to check things out. No one was going after them. That got her nervous. If things keep progressing this way, we will truly end up in T Nation…
At that same moment.
Charlotte led her people and rushed to the airport. They ran to the security’s office as soon as they got out of the car. Jade, on the other hand, was leading her team to look for Sharon and the others.
Morgan was calling the management of Wildefield International Airport and was trying to get them to share the security footage. That would help speed things up.
Unfortunately, they were in such a hurry that they didn’t get a chance to call beforehand or had their identities verified.
Charlotte panicked. She stood at the departure hall and looked around to try to locate her daughter.
