Chapter 492 Getting Closer
As the door was about to close, Rosie held the small bell and shook it without hesitation.
Elias suddenly stopped, experiencing dizziness as the door ahead blurred into multiple images.
He vigorously shook his head, attempting to clear his mind, but it only intensified his disorientation.
Persistently, the sound of the bell echoed in his ears, at a time near and far, as though beckoning his thoughts.
Elias slowly turned around and saw Rosie sitting innocently, seemingly unaware of anything.
“Eli, what’s wrong with you?” Rosie inquired.
“Did you… hear the bell ring?” he asked.
Rosie shook her head. “No, I don’t hear anything. Eli, are you experiencing auditory hallucinations?”
Elias fell silent, momentarily forgetting his intentions. He looked at the door before him and asked, “What was I about to do?”
“Oh, Eli, you mentioned wanting to urge the waiter to take our order. Don’t worry, they’ll be here soon. I’m not hungry. We can wait,” Rosie reassured him.
He completely forgot his intentions and returned to his seat, but something still felt amiss.
“Eli, are you okay?” She frowned and asked.
Elias replied indifferently, “Nothing, but I feel like there’s something else I need to do.”
The sound of a bell ringing continued echoing in his ears, near and far, as if only he could
hear it.
“It’s okay. We can think about it while we eat. I’ll help you figure it out, Rosie reassured with
a smile
Elias didn’t say anything else. When the waiter came with the menu, he absentmindedly ordered a few dishes and handed the menu to Rosie.
He felt like he had forgotten something, but he couldn’t recall it

Meanwhile, outside the Dream Nightclub, the bodyguard anxiously awaited Elias‘ arrival, expecting they would enter together. However, there was still no sign of him after a two–hour
wait.
One of them questioned, “What’s happening with Mr. Winters? Wasn’t he supposed to join us. immediately? Why hasn’t he shown up yet?”
Another bodyguard suggested, “Maybe something delayed him? Should we give him a call?”
“I’d rather not. Mr. Winters has been in a bad mood lately. I’d rather not risk getting scolded.” A third bodyguard hesitated.
So, they continued to wait in uncertainty, unsure of when Elias would arrive.
After dinner, the driver chauffeured Rosie back to the Momsey Residence. However, Rosie didn’t wish to return home.
“Eli, would you mind going for a walk with me? There are so many beautiful flowers blooming near my house,” she requested.
Elias Winters contemplated refusing, but his thoughts led him to reply, “Sure, it’s your call.”
Thus, the two of them strolled around the Momsey Residence, with only the sound of their footsteps breaking the silence. The surroundings exuded tranquility, and the fragrance of flowers permeated the air.
“Looking for someone.” Elias retrieved his phone, his expression devoid of emotion, and showed the manager a photo of Amanda, “Have you seen this woman?”
The manager glanced at the woman in the photo and was surprised. Isn’t she one of the recent hustlers? Could she be related to Mr. Winters?
The manager hesitated briefly, then forced a fake smile and replied, “I haven’t seen her, and we have a constant influx of visitors here daily. It’s challenging to remember them all. Let met ask the staff; perhaps they might recall something.”
With that, the manager turned and left.
At that very moment, Amanda and Moon hid in the restroom, quietly discussing their next
move.
They knew they couldn’t escape tonight and had to accompany those men. However, Amanda was determined not to participate in their illicit activities. They needed to find a way to protect themselves.

“What should we do? It’s come to this point, and there’s no way we can escape,” Moon lamented.
She was terrified and clung to the hope that Amanda could somehow rescue them from the impending fate that awaited them in those men’s beds. With time running out, they needed an escape plan.
“Stop crying,” Amanda whispered urgently. “When the time comes, tell that man you want to be with me. No matter what, we have to stick together.”
“Huh? Is that okay?” Moon looked skeptical, uncertainty in her eyes.
Amanda gently patted her shoulder and reassured her, “If you trust me, do as I say. There’s simply no way out at this point.”
“Okay…”
“What are you two doing in there? Come out immediately! I’m getting impatient. There’s still a lot of work left to be done!” A gruff male voice boomed from outside the restroom, shattering the brief moment of respite.
