Chapter 508 The chartered plane was flying directly to Dawton City and was due to arrive soon. However, the plane suddenly experienced violent turbulence.
With a loud bang, everyone in the cabin was thrown off balance.
Isabella and Jeanne protected the two children while Philip got up to check the situation.
In the cockpit, the mood was somber. When the two pilots saw Philip cin, one of them exclaimed, "Sir, it's an attack!" Philip turned pale when he saw through the surveillance camera that the plane’s tail wing was on fire.
In the distance, several helicopters were aiming shells at them.
The fact that their tail wing was on fire meant they couldn't continue flying under any circumstances.
'Sir, we have no choice but to make a landing. As it happens, there is a civilian parking lot below." Philip narrowed his eyes and said, 'This coincidental?" The captain was stunned for a moment before he reacted. What were the chances of this happening? The other party was forcing them to land.
Philip's expression was grave. "Let's land first." As the plane descended onto the parking space, the armed helicopters hovering in the distance flew over with several gun barrels pointed at them.
A heavily armed team disembarked from one of the helicopters. When Isabella and the others got off the plane, they saw the armed personnel charging in their direction.
At the stime, rounds of smoke bombs were ejected from the gun barrels above.
When the smoke bombs exploded at ground level, even Isabella couldn't help but inhale a decent amount of smoke.

Suddenly, a darkness overtook them, and they had no tto react. They lost consciousness in an instant.
When Isabella regained consciousness, a musty and damp smell lingered in her nose, along with chaotic breathing and sobbing around her.
She didn't open her eyes immediately but listened for a while with her eyes closed. She only opened her eyes when she didn't hear anything suspicious.
She found herself lying in a dimly lit and cramped place with several other women around her.
She propped herself up and sat up slowly.
' Hey, are you awake?" The person closest to her was a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. She reached out to help Isabella up.
She looked around and realized that almost all the women here were young girls.
The oldest of them was probably not more than thirty years old.
Isabella had excellent eyesight and her eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness. She looked at the girl beside her.
Where are we?" The girl replied, "We're on a liner, and we're probably going to be sold." Isabella widened her eyes in horror. "Sold?" She was at a loss for words. If her memory served her right, those armed men on the helicopters worked for the President.
What was the President up to? How dare he sell her? The girl said, "The ones who kidnapped us seem to be a syndicate from Southeast Aelinne. They seem to specialize in this kind of business, and if my guess is correct, we will soon be sold to Southeast Aelinne." ‘Southeast Aelinne..." It was instantly clear to Isabella what was happening. Someone didn't want her to return to Dawton City and deliberately sent her to Southeast Aelinne! If that's the case, then what can she do about it? 'Stop talking... Please...* The sound was coming from a girl sobbing in despair, obviously unable to bear it any longer.
Isabella looked over. She was a young Asian girl, probably around twenty years old, wearing a pink embroidered wrap dress and speaking the Yuvilian.
The girl was clearly a spoiled little girl who was still in a state of denial.
'What's the use of crying? Are you that weak? My nis Ellen, and | am the young lady of the Macy family. You may not be too familiar with us, but I think everyone knows the Rutherford family, right? The Macy and Rutherford families are relatives by marriage.
' Everyone introduce yourselves. We need to get to know one another to find a way to get help. Also, in case anyone manages to escape, they can inform their respective families." The person who spoke was the girl beside Isabella.
Although Isabella maintained her composure, she inwardly admired the girl's level-headedness.
Even if they couldn't escape, exchanging names was harmless and beneficial.
There was a moment of silence in the room as no one seemed to have expected this suggestion.
Seeing that no one spoke up, Ellen nudged Isabella and asked, "Why don't you go first? You don't seem like an ordinary person.’ As she spoke, she glanced at Isabella's attire.
Isabella's clothes were obviously not your average brand.
People with discerning eyes would not look past this.
Isabella said, "My nis Ganyra Josephina, a Lucsian. My husband, whose last nis also Josephina, is a businessman. | am a housewife." If there were any acquaintances present, hearing Isabella Thompson say this would surely make their jaws drop.
A housewife! Ellen said, Wow. You really are a housewife? You even took your husband's last name!" Ellen glanced at Isabella sympathetically, then looked at others.

Just then, a rather dignified woman's voice sounded, ' My nis Zoey. | am an orphan and work for the corporation under the Barclays family." Isabella was stupefied and couldn't help but look at the woman. She was blonde and probably about twenty- seven or twenty-eight years old. Judging by her attire, she should have still been at work when she was abducted. She was still in her pantsuit. Although her situation was miserable, she exuded a competent and mature aura. She also seemed bright and confident.
The person who spoke after Zoey was actually the girl from Yuvilia."l-I'm Keiko Sakurai. Have you heard of the Sakurai family?" The Sakurai family's status in Yuvilia was equivalent to the Lockwood family in Lucsia. Isabella was in disbelief.
She suspected that the people who kidnapped them weren't simple. Moreover, there must be sinexplicable reason behind their kidnapping.
She couldn't help but ask, "How did you all get kidnapped?’ "To make a long story short, I, unfortunately, fainted during lunch break at the cafeteria and woke up here," Zoey said.
Ellen added, "I fainted in the fitting room of a department store." "It happened when | was at an art exhibition..." said Keiko.
The other girls then introduced themselves and shared their own stories.
Among them were two other Lucsian girls named Ivory Zarra and Megan Stevenson. Both were ordinary university students.
Perhaps because Isabella is also Lucsian, they approached her after speaking.
Isabella thought to herself that, except for Ellen, Zoey, and Keiko, the others here were just ordinary people.
Just as Isabella was in deep thought, footsteps approached from the outside. The group of girls becnervous, and seven started crying.
Keiko curled up in the corner, shivering and weeping while covering her mouth tightly.
Her beautiful big eyes were fixed on the direction of the metal door.
The heavy sound of the door opening was heard, and several men with Southeast Aelinne features walked in.
