“Think it over,” Mandel Thompson patted Edward Thompson on the shoulder, “I have work to do at the company, so I’m leaving first.”
As soon as Mandel finished speaking, he turned around and left.
The next day.
Viola Thompson arrived at the airport, hurrying to meet up with Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight in Sky Mountain.
At one o’clock in the afternoon, the plane landed punctually at Sky Mountain Airport.
Just as she walked through the arrival gate, she saw Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight waving at her, “Vio!”
“Beautiful Thompson!”
The two of them ran over and hugged Viola.
Suddenly, Viola felt the pleasure of an ancient monarch.
A hug from the left, a hug from the right.
Their first stop was mountain climbing.
The altitude of Sky Mountain is 2013.6 meters.
Mountain climbers, under normal circumstances, would start at 8 p.m., reaching the peak by five or six in the morning the next day.
It would be sunrise then.
The three booked a guesthouse at the foot of Sky Mountain.
They planned to rest well in the afternoon and set off at night.
The guesthouse was very nice, a two-story wooden house with a relaxation area on the ground floor and three rooms upstairs, each with its own large balcony.
A small courtyard was fenced off in front of the wooden house.
The courtyard was filled with flowers and pebble-paved, giving a pastoral illusion.
A gentle breeze blew, carrying the scent of flowers.
It was extremely pleasant.
Diana opened the fence gate and exclaimed in surprise, “This cottage is even prettier than the pictures online! It’s worth it!”
Fiona also seemed surprised, “Vio, look how beautiful this small courtyard is.”
Viola nodded slightly.
She also thought that the small courtyard was good.
The owner of the guest house, smiling, said: “If you three young ladies think our place is good, please give us a good review. And we live next door, so if you need anything just give us a call. Oh, and we only offer breakfast here. Lunch and dinner are also available but there will be an additional fee. Of course, you can eat out. If you walk about 300 meters forward, you’ll find a food street where you can find all kinds of food.”
“Thank you, boss.” Diana thanked.
“You’re welcome.”
After introducing them to the surroundings, the guesthouse owner left.
Diana and Fiona started to choose their rooms.
“Vio, which one do you want?”
Fiona asked from upstairs.
Laughing, Viola looked up, “You two pick first, I’ll take the leftover one.”
Diana smiled and said, “I get it, I get it, Beautiful Thompson just needs her milk tea.”
Viola took out her phone, took a picture of the lovely courtyard, and then sent it to the WhatsApp contact labeled as [Legs-one-meter-eight-fiance].
On the other side.
Compared to the last few days, Rachel Barton’s condition was worse.
Her skin was pale, her eyes were bloodshot.
“Woof woof woof…”
Outside the window, there was a burst of dog barking.
Rachel glanced towards the window, her eyes inadvertently swept across the clock hanging on the wall.
Three in the afternoon.
Suddenly, Rachel seemed to remember something.
Because it was also three o’clock yesterday.
How can a dog bark at the same time every day?
Could it be…
Someone was coming to save her!
At that thought, Rachel’s eyes lit up, she immediately stood up from the floor, and quickly ran to the window.
She opened the window and saw a figure standing in the bamboo forest through the security window.
It was Theresa Winslet!
“Theresa…”Just as she was about to shout out, Rachel quickly covered her own mouth.
She couldn’t let anyone discover her!
Rachel waved at Theresa.
Theresa waved back to her.
Rachel seized the last opportunity, turned around to pick up a pre-written phone number, stuffed the fabric strip into an empty bottle, then threw the empty bottle into the bamboo garden downstairs.
Fortunately, because of the bottle, the fabric strip landed accurately at Theresa’s feet.
Theresa picked up the thrown bottle and quickly dashed back home.
Looking at Theresa’s retreating figure, hope filled Rachel’s eyes.
When she got back home, Theresa handed the bottle to Dolores.
Dolores took the bottle and took out the blood-written number inside.
Seeing the number written by her younger sister in blood,
Dolores’s eyes reddened, she turned to Theresa, “Theresa, remember, you can’t let anyone know about this.”
“Okay, Mom, I understand.”
Dolores took the fabric strip and went to the bedroom. She picked up the landline phone and dialed a number.
Soon, the other side answered.
“Hello.”
It was a beautiful female voice.
Dolores hesitated, a girl, could she help Rachel escape?
However, Dolores immediately responded: “Hello, I’m Geraldine’s sister, are you Geraldine’s friend?”
Geraldine?
Viola was taken aback.
She didn’t seem to have anyone named Geraldine around her, but Viola quickly realized, “Yes, I am. How is she now?”
The “Geraldine” she was referring to must be Rachel.
Dolores tried to keep it brief, “Geraldine has been sold by her parents to a family in the same village as a bride and now she can’t get out, she’s in a very bad situation! I need you to come and get her. But you’d better bring more people. The address is 31 Liu Group, Olsand Village, Rimount City. My name is Dolores, her older sister! If you are coming, call me in advance, I can meet you in the town! Our village is complicated, strangers won’t find it!”
Viola Thompson abruptly put down her Milk Tea, “We will buy the earliest flight ticket to Rimount, do you have a mobile phone? Give me your number so we can stay in constant contact.”
Dolores didn’t have a phone, but Sid Winslet had an old one. “I will call you when I get the phone.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Dolores breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she was in touch with people, that was fine.
Viola had already opened the ticket purchasing webpage on her computer and purchased a plane ticket, then immediately informed Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight.
Upon hearing this news, Fiona Knight and Diana were terrified.
Nobody could have predicted that Rachel, simply by going back to her hometown, would experience such a scenario.
“Vio, let’s go with you!”
“There’s no need, I can go alone.” Viola didn’t even pack her belongings, “You guys go home and wait for me.”
The situation in Rimount City was unclear, it wasn’t suitable to bring Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight along.
Diana frowned slightly, “How can there be such parents in the world! Is Rachel alright now?”
“Considering her big sister’s description, it doesn’t seem to be very good.”
Viola spoke while walking towards the outside of the door.
Both Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight followed her steps, “Beautiful Thompson, Fiona and I will accompany you to the airport.”
The three of them arrived at the airport together.
Just past security, Viola received news of a flight delay.
Viola looked slightly annoyed.
The next flight wouldn’t be until tomorrow morning.
However, Rachel’s situation was currently critical.
Just at this moment, there was a commotion up ahead, buzzing with conversation.
“Damn! So handsome!”
“So cool! Is he some company’s CEO?”
When Diana and Fiona looked up, they saw a tall, elegant figure.
He was wearing a pristine, dust-free white shirt.
His demeanor was restrained but cold as he walked.
Even though he wasn’t doing anything, his aura easily outshone the young fresh blood on TV and movies.
The two of them were slightly taken aback as they watched his side profile.
Just then, the man walked towards them, stopping right in front of Viola, “Where to? I’ll give you a ride.”
