Despite her mouth being gagged with rags, Mabel refused to yield. In a desperate bid to fight back, she jabbed
the man next to her with her shoulder. This provoked a harsh response as he cruelly slapped her.
As the fog of dizziness lifted, the stark reality of her plight becclear to Mabel. She had initially orchestrated
a similar fate for Elyse, but now it appeared she might suffer the same. Would she also be sold? This realization
plunged Mabel into deep despair, and she broke down in tears.
Elyse, on the other hand, was seething over being involuntarily involved in Mabel’s plot. Mabel’s cries only
intensified her irritation. In a burst of frustration, Elyse bumped Mabel’s head hard and barked, “Shut up!”

Mabel, further distressed by Elyse’s harsh treatment, couldn't fathom why she was being treated this way. They
had been driving for about three hours in the darkness. Worn out by the ordeal, Elyse and Mabel eventually fell
asleep, still tied to their seats.

When Elyse woke up, she found they were in a new place. Darkness enveloped them, with only a sliver of
moonlight filtering through a window, creating ominous shadows. A distinct stink hung in the air.
Managing to sit up, Elyse noticed her hands were free from the ropes, but a chain still clanked around her ankle,
securely fastened to a heavy iron pipe. She tugged at it, confirming it wouldn't budge. As she considered her
options for escape, Mabel began to stir, her awakening marked by restless shifting and pained cries.
Unable to hold back her frustration any longer, Elyse snapped at Mabel, “Quiet! Do you want to speed up our
demise?”
Feeling attacked, Mabel retorted, accusing Elyse of being unkind and suggesting that their dire situation might
have been avoided with more compassion. Elyse scoffed, “I'm stuck here because of you. Think | asked for this?”
Mabel fell silent, unable to muster a comeback. Realizing the gravity of their predicament, Elyse scanned the
surroundings for an escape route but found nothing useful. Isolated without their phones, their situation seemed
desperate.
Elyse sighed deeply and settled on the cold ground, her eyes hardening as she fixed a stern gaze on Mabel, who
was still sobbing. “How did you even get involved with these people? What did you promise them? | need to
know everything.”
Mabel’s tears gradually subsided. At that moment, she sensed a strange energy radiating from Elyse, as though
she were confronting someone entirely different from the humble Elyse she was accustomed to. Despite her urge
to dismiss it, Mabel found herself unable to meet Elyse’s piercing gaze. Hesitantly, she stammered, “I was
strapped for cash, so someone recommended | contact a loan shark. But the sum | needed was too large, and
they hesitated to lend directly.”
Elyse narrowed her eyes, pressing on. “What made them reconsider?”
Mabel replied, “They targeted you. They mentioned your high value on the black market. They promised to loan
Elyse paused, steadying her emotions before replying deliberately, “You know, | think I'm more interested in
cutting our sisterly ties than you are.”
Mabel scoffed, “I don’t need a sister as selfish as you. Kaelyn has cared formore than you ever did. It's
Kaelyn who's raising money to help me.”

Initially, Elyse didn’t pay much heed to Mabel’s mention of her adviser. After all, dealing with loan sharks wasn’t
something she approved of. But then it suddenly dawned on Elyse, prompting her to ask, “Who is Kaelyn?”
“Kaelyn Bennett. She's practically a sister to me. Whenever I'm in a tight spot, she’s there to help, unlike you,
who just embarrass me,” Mabel hissed venomously, her eyes overflowing with bitterness.
Elyse felt a chill creep up her spine. Could Kaelyn Bennett truly be orchestrating this ordeal? She had figured out
that the men who kidnapped them weren't simple loan sharks; they looked uncannily like Jayden’s bodyguards
with their imposing physiques. It was clear they were after her. Yet why was Mabel caught up in this mess too?
Was Mabel just collateral to manipulate her?
Engulfed by these disturbing ideas, Elyse wrestled with her thoughts.
Mabel, observing Elyse’s quietude, started to suspect that Elyse might have devised a way out, which slightly
calmed her nerves. Though Elyse seemed detached, Mabel knew she wouldn't just abandon her. She was
convinced Elyse would also plan her escape.
In the meanwhile, Mabel’s mind buzzed with malevolent schemes. Once they managed to escape, she would find
a way to expose Elyse while keeping herself under the radar. If Elyse were caught again, she would undoubtedly
face severe consequences. This could be Mabel’s opportunity to slip away.
