Chapter 183
“If we dare to kidnap you, do you really think we’d be scared of you calling the cops?” The man
sneered, hanging up the phone. This time they didn’t just tape up Cornelia’s mouth, but also covered
her head with a black cloth, extinguishing all hope for her.
These people were not even afraid of the police. They must be some desperadoes who have
committed serious crimes Such desperadoes might not be afraid of legal sanctions, but they would be
afraid of people who are more ruthless than them. The only person Cornelia knew that could fit that bill
was Marcus.
Her call with him had still been ongoing when she was kidnapped, would he have noticed something
was off?

Cornelia had no idea!
All she knew was that even if Marcus was willing to save her, it would take him a while to find her

Blinded by the cloth, Cornelia could only rely on the movement of the car to guess where they were
heading
The van sped along the roads, darting through one street after another, finally pulling into an
underground parking lot.
On the way, the car made one left turn and one right turn and then went straight ahead.
During the ride they encountered about eight traffic lights, slowed down slightly three times, and

died on the spot.
After that, many tenants moved out. The place was then taken over by a mysterious person and the
whole building was transformed into an entertainment venue.
Cornelia remembered the date of the girl’s incident very clearly, as it was the day she officially joined

There were a dozen or so men and women in the room, all crazily twisting their bodies, shouting and
screaming like a bunch of wild animals.
As soon as Cornelia was pushed in, the room fell silent. All eyes were on her.
The man behind her ripped off the tape from her mouth and gave her a hard shove.
She almost lost her balance and fell, but luckily she managed to steady herself on a coffee table in
front of her.
Everyone crowded around her. The man in the middle took off his baseball cap and face mask,
revealing an annoying face, “Cornelia, you remember me, right?”
