Chapter 897 Taylor felt as if they had been stuck in their small town for ages, completely oblivious to the wonders and technological advancements of the outside world.
"Clark, look at this necklace. The heart pendant has some weird symbols on it; Arabella said, handing over the piece she'd discovered.

Clark was secretly thrilled at that discovery. Initially, he thought finding Carol would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, but at that moment there seemed to be some hope. If they could somehow decipher those symbols, they might be able to find her soon! "Do these symbols resemble the ones we've seen on their cellphones?” Clark speculated, "Carol must have sensed danger a long time ago. She probably left these clues for us in case something happened to her." "| think Carol might have known she was in danger and left these items behind. These could be bargaining chips against the organization,” Arabella suggested. If they had leverage, they had a chance to negotiate.
At that moment, Taylor unwrapped the scarf and found a thick strand of yarn with something hidden inside it.
"What's this?" She cut it open to find a small silver key. It was about the size of a fingertip and its function was unclear to them at that point.
"What on earth did Carol get herself involved in?" Taylor felt a growing sense of unease.
"Carol must have had something on that organization, which is why they're so desperate to find her; Arabella guessed, "When those guys came to your house a few months ago, they didn't harm you. That might have been because Carol had something they badly wanted. They clearly knew that if anything happened to you guys, Carol wouldn't hesitate to bring them down with her." Hearing that, Taylor felt a lump in her throat. What else was Carol hiding from them? Was she safe? Arabella's phone vibrated just at that moment. It was a call from Romeo.

“Bella,” Romeo's gentle voice came through the phone, "Are you alright?" "I'm fine; Arabella smiled as she teased, "Didn't your guy send you a picture?" Romen fell silent for a moment. He really didn't expect his man to be so careless. He quickly changed the subject, "I have something to tell you." "Go ahead,” Arabella turned back and saw Taylor quietly wiping her tears while Clark and Logan tried to comfort her.
"Before | tell you, you have to promise me that I'll be part of your next move,” Romeo began to negotiate with her.
Arabella immediately guessed that he must have found some important clue, so she agreed without any hesitation, "Okay." "| found out the last place Carol was seen which was about a month ago in the triangular zone." "Are you absolutely sure about that?" "Yes," Romeo correctly guessed Arabella's next move and said, "Take me with you." Arabella didn’t expect Carol to be in the triangular zone, but it made quite sense. It was a lawless region, the most dangerous and yet the safest place.
"Then, have your people take Taylor, Logan and Clark back home.
Find a safe place for them to stay. Tomorrow, meet us directly in the triangular zone,” Arabella instructed.
Perhaps surprised by Arabella's swift agreement, Romeo simply responded, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
