As Summer drove, she kept noticing whether Lynn's car had caught up with her.
There was a sharp turn on the way to the abandoned garage.
After Summer turned the corner, she did not see Lynn's car anymore.
She stopped at the entrance of the abandoned garage.
The rusty curtain door of the garage was pulled open and a tall man walked out. Wearing a mask, he looked at Summer gloomily.
"Are you Summer Jarrett?"
"Yes." Summer nodded.
"Have you brought the money?"
Summer said calmly, "I need to see my mother first!"
The man looked around, confirming that she was alone. He turned around and walked inside, "Follow me in."
Summer followed him in.
The abandoned old warehouse was in tatters, with a thick layer of dust on the ground. It was large and messy, with a lot of debris in it.
Summer followed behind him and saw Karen tied to a chair from afar.
Karen's well-groomed hair had already turned into a mess, and her face was pale, showing an old look.
Her bestowed beauty was still defeated by time.
Seeing Summer, Karen was pleasantly surprised. Her voice was hoarse, "Summer, you're finally here!"
"Are you all right?" Summer took two steps closer and looked at her without any expression.
Karen smiled and shook her head, "I'll be fine with you here. Give them the money. They just want the money!"
At this moment, the man who had led her in earlier reached out his hand and stood in front of her, "Alright, where's the money?"
"You didn't give me enough time. I can't get that much cash." Summer said calmly, "Since you know that I am the Mistress of the Emersons, you naturally know that the Emerson Group has the black card. Can I give it to you?"
"Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm an idiot?" The man's expression changed when he heard her words. "If I took this black card, you would have someone freeze it and call the police to arrest us!"
Summer's expression changed slightly. That was indeed her plan!
The attendant behind the man suddenly stepped forward and said something to him.
The masked man reached out to her and said, "I can let this old woman go, but you have to come with me to get the money."
"Sure." Summer did not look at Karen and nodded in agreement.
After they released Karen, Karen looked at Summer and said in panic, "Be careful, Summer."
Then, she quickly ran out.
Summer curled her lips mockingly and didn't say anything.
She took out the black card and gave it to the man, who reached for it.
When his hand reached halfway, he suddenly turned to the back of her head, hacking her neck with a knife.
Before Summer could say anything, she had a blackout. In the instant she fainted, she recalled everything that had happened today like a movie in her mind.
Only then did she suddenly realize that something was wrong, but it was already too late.
...
When Summer woke up, she found that she was in a different place instead of the abandoned garage.
