The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588: West Side

Back in the underground facility, Ransom, Florida, Long, and everyone else stood around the empty bed where the tablet was placed. They watched the situation aboveground through it, almost amazed at how Long had installed these cameras without anyone noticing.

"What are they doing?" one murmured, brows drawn tight as he followed a few feeds at the same time.

Right now, they could see mercenaries running around the area, with some flocking to the bar. Others were checking each manhole—for reasons they already guessed. There was also a feed where they could see Lola running in a different direction while those who came with her were in another area, hiding.

"There are so few of them," another whispered, recognizing some of the men who had stayed behind in Gigante earlier. "How could we even... survive this?"

There were two main problems they had right now.

First, there was only one entrance and exit to the facility. Even if Long reassured them that the entrance couldn’t be easily opened by brute force, they were still stuck underground.

The second problem was the number of enemies. There were just too many of them. They could match the numbers if all of Gigante stood up and fought, but numbers alone weren’t enough. These people were not only armed, but trained.

"I think she’s calling."

Everyone snapped out of their thoughts at Long’s quiet remark. They glanced at him instinctively, only to see him point at one feed. When all eyes fell on the screen, they saw Lola waving her arms wide.

"She’s mouthing something," Florida remarked, narrowing his eyes as he watched her exaggerated lip movements. "I can’t understand it."

Ransom leaned forward slightly, trying to read her lips.

"Donut?" Long guessed, tilting his head. "She wants a donut? Does she know there’s no donut shop here? Or is she talking about the donut stall in Five District?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He paused and frowned deeply. "There’s no donut shop in Five District, even when there are people in it. A pizza parlor, maybe."

Everyone ignored Long’s guess — it made no sense — until one of the townspeople murmured,

"Do not listen."

Everyone turned to him.

"I think..." he continued quietly, "...that’s what she’s saying."

"What does that even mean? Don’t listen to what exactly?" one man asked, and everyone shared the same confusion.

At the same time, Lola pointed at her ear and mouthed the same words again. Still confused, Ransom and Florida suddenly heard her voice.

"Ransom, Florida, I have a plan."

Both men stiffened, Ransom instinctively pressing a hand to his earpiece. He glanced at everyone, who were already watching him.

"I need you and Florida to convince Long to show you the other exit," Lola said. "That guy needs money to start talking or moving. Give him everything you’ve got, then go to the exit. The guys above are trying to open the main entrance. I’ll buy you time—escape to the west side quickly."

Ransom and Florida nodded, eyes fixed on the feed showing Lola.

"Do you understand?" she asked.

"Yes, Madam," Florida answered, and the line clicked off.

Even then, their eyes stayed on Lola. She stared straight at the hidden camera for a moment, nodded, then turned and ran toward a narrow alley—a tight space between two houses.

Florida and Ransom turned to Long.
