Realizing he would be arrested by the police, Leslie felt frustrated.
He reluctantly darted at his suitcase in the passenger's seat, which contained all his properties. He had thought he would lead a worry-free life from then on. However, his wish couldn't come true anymore.
"Hurry! Speed up! You cannot escape!" the man outside roared.
Leslie twitched in fear but had to unbuckle the seat belt.
When he opened the door, his mind was blank.
As soon as Leslie put one foot on the ground, a policeman handcuffed him. His time ended.
Ivan wouldn't have pulled in the net so quickly if he hadn't kidnapped Alfie and Diana.
The villa on Platanus Road.
Mrs. Kerry failed to reach Leslie on the phone, so she couldn't inform him about Catherine's status. Also, she had no right to send Catherine to a hospital.
"Eww!"
Catherine still lay prone on the toilet edge, feeling like dying. The feeling was too torturous.
"Excuse me, Ms. Collins."
Mrs. Kerry was the only one helping her. "Let me take you to rest in your room."
"Did you fail to reach Leslie on the phone?" Catherine grabbed her wrist, repressing the discomfort, and looked up. "What happened to him? Is his phone turned off? Or is he ignoring me?"
"I called him several times, but he didn't answer. Later, his phone was out of service..." Mrs. Kerry couldn't do anything. "I called him at least time times. Guess he's busy."
Catherine sucked in her breath and started panting.
Mrs. Kerry helped her stand up, bypassed the living room, and took her to the second floor.
Catherine saw the maids chatting on the sofa, like the villa's owners. Their eyes were full of disdain when they looked at her.
That was human nature.
