Estella asked Louis to tighten Arya up and put her in the car. They then drove out of the mansion.
After a long time, they pulled up by a remote beach outside of W City. They carried Arya onto the wooden bridge, under which there was a deep river.
Estella asked Louis to find a stone and tie it to Arya.
After that, Estella splashed some water on Arya to wake her up.
Arya trembled at the cold water on her face. When she woke up, she saw Estella looking down at her. She tried to move but found her body couldn't move a little bit. Only then did she realize that she was tied to a few stones, and her heart beat violently. She felt fear went all over her body when she saw the situation around her. However, she didn't show any panic on her face.
Estella squatted down and patted her face. "How pathetic you are! The person you're looking for is right in front of you, but you don't even know."
After that, Estella laughed smugly. As long as she disposed of Arya, everything would go back to normal.
Harriet would be Xavier's fiancé, the Harrison Family would be a reputable family that many people fawned on, and she would be a noble lady.
Arya stared at Estella and said, "Everyone will die sooner or later. Do you think you are different?"
Estella frowned and snapped, "Say it again!"
"Of course, I dare. You can't escape from death, either." Arya's tried to stay calm and not display the fear on her face. She finally understood that Estella wanted her to die.
She wouldn't stop until she reached her goal.
Estella suddenly felt flustered.
'Die? But I will die after Arya!'
"Arya, your mother couldn't beat me. You can't either!" Estella ordered Louis loudly, "Push her down!"
Arya was pushed into the water before she could feel the fear. There was a loud bang with a huge splash of water.
Arya wanted to grab something, but her hands were tied. She couldn't move at all. Her body began to sink slowly. Suffocation made her brain lack oxygen, and she couldn't think straight. All she could feel now was fear, and the only person she worried about was Ryan.
Ryan…
She opened her eyes in the water but couldn't see anything clearly. She exhaled desperately, but all she breathed in was water. She felt it hard to breathe as if someone was strangling her.
Before she lost consciousness, she saw Xavier in a trance who was looking at her.
It was not clear whether it was the water or Arya's tears on her face.
"Will you miss me if I die?"
***
At the same time, Xavier left right after Arya. He went straight to the place where Jacob imprisoned the former butler of the Harrison Family.
Jacob didn't expect Xavier would come so early.
"Where is he?" Xavier walked in a haste.
He really wanted to know all about Arya.
