Chapter 1559 Busted
Just as she was trying to figure out how she could alert her captors that she was about to escape, a man’s deep baritone voice rang out from behind.
“Sally!”
It was Steven. He was boiling with rage.
Sally’s heart leapt into her throat.
On the other hand, Nicole felt relieved and secretly delighted that they had been busted. She could now justify herself for staying behind.
The both of them turned around and saw Steven standing not far off. He was glaring at them with a furious look on his face.
“Sally, how dare you? I’ve warned you not to get close to her. How could you turn a deaf ear to my warnings?”
Sally immediately explained herself. “I-I just wanted to take her out for a walk, Daddy.”
Steven obviously wasn’t buying into her lies. “Take her back to the hideout and assign more men to watch over her. Do not let Ms. Maupay go anywhere near her,” Steven instructed his bodyguard.
“Yes, Mr. Maupay!”
Sally watched on anxiously as Nicole was brought back into the hideout. She turned to Steven and begged, “Daddy, please just let her go. They will let Skyler off once you release her.”
“I’ve told you before and I’m telling you again, your brother will be fine as long as she’s in our hands,” Steven said impatiently.
“Sally, I’ve planned for more than ten years for this day. It’s now or never. I won’t show you mercy even if you’re my daughter if you ever dare to spoil my plan.”
“Daddy, it’s not what you think. Evan wasn’t the one who hurt Mommy nor the one who chopped off your hand. There’s someone else. Someone out there is impersonating Evan…”
“Shut up!”
Steven bellowed, “You’re my daughter. How could you say such things just to clear the Seets’ name? You’ve been brainwashed by them. Lock her up and do not allow her to step foot out of her room!”
“Yes, Mr. Maupay!”
“Daddy, it’s true. Daddy…”
“This way please, Ms. Maupay.”
Steven turned around and left, whereas Sally was brought back to her room by the bodyguard.
She panicked when the lock slid into place.
Sally had landed herself in trouble instead of busting Nicole out. She quickly whipped her phone out and called Kyle. However, much to her dismay, she couldn’t make any calls because her phone was out of service.
Daddy! It must be him!
Is he trying to restrict my freedom? Am I not allowed to contact anyone anymore?
No, this won’t do. I can’t just sit around and watch this tragedy unfold before my very eyes.
“Please open the door. I want to see my Daddy!”
“Ms. Maupay, Mr. Maupay has instructed for you to rest. It’ll only be for two days. You can go wherever you want after everything has been resolved. Please just bear with it for a bit.”
Sally kept quiet.
Is Daddy going to make his move within these two days?
If Daddy succeeds, the Seets, as well as Kyle, will be doomed…
“Open the door! Open the door…”
Sally was worried sick as she banged on the door fervently. Nevertheless, the bodyguards stationed outside ignored her pleas.
After a few minutes, Sally stopped since her hand was hurting.
This won’t do. How can I escape?
She turned around to examine the window behind her. It was installed with security bars spaced only a few centimeters apart. Hence, the window wasn’t a very plausible escape route. Just then, an idea popped into her head. She started looking for tools she could use to push the bars apart.
Her love for Kyle was so strong that she was willing to go to great lengths for his sake.
She began hacking away at the window with some screws and nuts. A glimmer of hope rose within her as the security bars came loose.
I must get Kyle to a safe place once I get out of here. I should also check to see if Daddy has successfully placed the black box in Imperial Garden. If so, where is it? I should destroy the chip connected to the black box as soon as possible to prevent it from exploding.
