Chapter 721 Inside the Trunk She gestured to Charlotte and quietly moved to the rear of the car. On the other hand, Charlotte held onto Mr. River, and the two retreated in silence. It wasn’t until they had moved to a safe distance that Mandy abruptly opened the trunk. A woman curled up inside the trunk appeared before everyone. “It’s Zoey!” Based on the photos she had seen earlier, Mandy quickly recognized the woman in the trunk as Zoey, the one Sharon had been searching for a long time. Enter title…
Zoey hadn’t expected to be discovered, and she took advantage of a moment to try to escape. However, Mandy grabbed her right away. “You want to run away? How dare you to hide in my car! I think you’re tired of
living!” Mandy yelled angrily. Seeing Zoey in person, Charlotte realized that she was even smaller and more fragile than she had appeared in the videos. Her skin was deathly pale, and her long bangs almost covered her eyes. Her stark black-and-white eyes were locked onto Charlotte as if she wanted to etch her into her mind. Charlotte gazed back at her dispassionately. Upon seeing her in person, she no longer felt the disgust and fear she had experienced earlier. “How did you get into the car?” Mandy snapped at her, not holding back. If she hadn’t been so frail and fragile, Mandy would have given her a good slap to teach her a lesson.
Zoey finally glanced at Mandy and mumbled something. Unfortunately, her voice was too soft, and even though Mandy was standing right next to her, she couldn’t make out what she was saying. Charlotte noticed that she was tightly gripping her pen, and her brow furrowed. “Why did you steal my pen? What were you planning by hiding in the trunk?” Charlotte couldn’t believe someone had silently hidden in the trunk, and she had even gone back with her, separated by just one seat. The creepy feeling swept over her whole body again. Upon hearing Charlotte speaking to her, Zoey’s eyes lit up, and she kept muttering, “Miss Clinton is talking to me! She’s talking to me! The distance between us has gotten closer!” She was completely immersed in her own world, paying no attention to anyone else. Charlotte frowned, suspecting that Zoey might not be entirely normal. Mandy had lost her patience, giving a firm slap on her head. “Don’t think your craziness will save you. I’m calling the police right now.” Even after being slapped, Zoey showed no reaction and instead gazed even more obsessively at Charlotte. Even Mr. River, who did not know about what was happening, sensed something was amiss and silently positioned himself in front of Charlotte. Unable to see Charlotte, Zoey suddenly became agitated and rushed towards her as if wanting to hug her. Before she could reach Charlotte, Mandy grabbed her by the collar, preventing her from getting any closer. “Ignore me? You’re the first,” Mandy coldly huffed and pulled Zoey off balance, simultaneously taking the pen from her hand. This action drove Zoey into a frenzy.
She produced a dagger from somewhere and viciously thrust it toward Mandy. Mandy deftly twisted her wrist, causing Zoey to fall to the ground. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Mandy’s eyes. “I don’t care if you’re genuinely insane or faking it. Right now, you’re going to the police station!” A piercing scream came from nearby before Mandy could lay a hand on Zoey. “No, don’t!”
