"Aurora was with another man! They appeared to be intimate." Nevaeh thought to herself.
She had a sudden idea and quickly walked to the roadside to hail a taxi and follow along. She wanted
to see where Aurora and this man were going.
If things were what she thought, everything would be perfect for her. If she caught Aurora cheating,
Sion definitely wouldn't like her as much as before. Thinking about this, Nevaeh felt a burst of
excitement in her heart.
The car drove out of the city, and the surrounding environment became more and more desolate.
Nevaeh couldn't help but become even more excited. "They came to such a remote place for a date,
could it be that they want to..." She was thrilled by her thoughts, believing that she would get some
awesome news today.
Not long after, Aurora and Cameron arrived outside the resort.
"This place is really off the beaten path."
The car was parked quite far from the resort, and the two of them walked leisurely towards it, taking in
their surroundings as they went.
"Their company should continue to optimize the roads. Although this place is remote, it is indeed
suitable for relaxing." Aurora gave an objective evaluation.
The surrounding greenery had been trimmed, which visually left a good impression. The resort was not
yet open to the public, so security guards on patrol were working in shifts.
There was no one at the door, so Aurora and Cameron were able to enter smoothly.
Warehouses were usually located in relatively remote areas. The two of them walked along the corners
and edges for a long time, finally seeing a place that was not as exquisite as the outside decoration.
"It should be here."
Aurora and he exchanged a glance and quickened their pace.
There was no one around the warehouse, and the lock on the door was an old-fashioned iron chain
lock. There was a gap along the edge of the door, through which you could see about half of what was
inside. Aurora gave Cameron a look and unconsciously held her breath as she approached him.
The room was spacious with a chair placed in the centre, and sitting on it were those three criminals.
They were tied on the chairs, with bruises on their faces. They must have had a hard time. Someone
was standing next to them, specifically guarding them.
Aurora was shocked at the sight of the criminals.
But she knew it wasn't the right time yet.
Sion's men were still there, and she couldn't do anything now.
Aurora gritted her teeth, tense all over. Cameron sensed something was wrong and gently pulled her
back, quickly peeking inside before retreating to prepare to lead Aurora away.
Aurora didn't move, bloodshot eyes fixed on the building. The thugs were in there. They had "killed" her
once before and almost harmed her daughter recently too.
How could she not do anything?
Cameron noticed that Aurora was not in the right state of mind and firmly took her away. After walking a
little distance, he spoke calmly, "Aurora, now is not the time for impulsiveness."
"But..."
"Aurora, calm down first." His voice carried a reassuring power. "There are only two of us now.
Whatever we do will alert them to our presence. And you saw how many people are guarding inside."
Aurora fell silent with both hands tightly clenched. Cameron saw that she had restrained herself and
held her hand while calling the police with his other hand. After making the call, he looked at Aurora.
"Don't worry, the police will be here soon. We'll deal with everything after they arrive." He asked
tentatively, "Okay?"
Upon hearing this, Aurora looked at him and then trembled as she said softly, "Okay."
While waiting for the police to arrive, Cameron led Aurora around Highland Resort looking for any
loopholes so they could escape if necessary when they arrived later on.
"In fact," he reassured her in a gentle voice as they walked around, "there shouldn't be any major
problems here even though it's quite deserted, because security is tight, those guys won't be able to
run away easily."
Although what Cameron said made sense, Aurora still couldn't help worrying about what might happen
next.
Nevaeh followed them outside Highland Resort but never expected that they would come here.
She also knew this place belonged to Sion's Company. Why did Aurora bring another man secretly
here?
The more curious Nevaeh became about their actions as she trailed behind them silently.
Until the two of them stopped in front of a warehouse, although Aurora looked excited and angry,
Nevaeh didn't know what they were looking for.
Nevaeh hid behind some greenery and watched their movements through the leaves. After a while, the
two of them walked away talking but not towards the door. It seemed like they were checking
something out.
Nevaeh was getting more confused. She cautiously looked around and tiptoed to the warehouse door.
She could see inside through the wide crack in it. As she focused on what was happening inside, her
eyes widened with disbelief.
She saw Jeff, Hulk and Tan.
"Weren't they all dead already?" she thought to herself.
For a moment, Nevaeh forgot to breathe as shock overwhelmed her. Her heart raced uncontrollably as
panic set in.
She quickly tried to make sense of everything that had happened so far and realized she had been
deceived. She couldn't afford any more confusion or unanswered questions at this point, since that
man with Aurora who made a phone call earlier might have already called for help from law
enforcement agencies.
She couldn't let Aurora turn these people over to the police.
Gritting her teeth, Nevaeh scanned her surroundings before settling on a business car parked some
distance away from where she stood hiding behind some bushes nearby. A sudden idea struck her Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
mind; she found a rock that was light enough for her to lift easily then hurled it at one of its windows
with all force until there was an audible "bang" sound followed by blaring sirens. She quickly sneaked
back to the warehouse through the glass surface area.
As expected, several men came rushing out soon after hearing a loud noise coming from outside. The
gate of the warehouse wasn't fully closed. She took a deep breath and peeked inside before finding
that another guy was staying alert in there, in the face of Jeff.
Nevaeh was thinking hard. She glanced in the direction of the other guys who left earlier and was sure
that they had gone far enough. Looking around, she found there was nothing she could use except for
trees and weeds.
She felt lost and increasingly restless.
Suddenly, something on the ground caught her eye and reflected light in her direction. Nevaeh reached
out to shield her eyes until she could make out what it was. Her gaze brightened as she recognized the
object. She smirked slightly, quickly moving forward to pick up the glass shard and hiding it behind her
back before pushing open the door to the warehouse.
