Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Enna, save meā¦
Enna Clark didnāt quite understand but honestly answered, āItās the pair of pearl earrings we bought together.ā
Pleased by her inclusion of ātogether,ā combined with the satisfying meal they just had, Baron Lawrence relented easily. āGo ahead, but come back early.ā āOkay.ā
āDonāt turn off your phone, donāt ignore my calls, and reply to me immediately when I text youā¦ā
Seeing that he had more to say, Enna quickly agreed for fear that she wouldnāt get to go if he continued. āI got it, Iām going to change.ā
Then, without giving him another chance to speak, she ran into the bedroom.
In no time, she put on a simple white T-shirt and jeans.
Her hair still in a ponytail, she revealed her clean, flawless face, and her outfit made her look like a college student.
She looked pure and beautiful.
Baronās eyes darkened, pulling her over for a kiss before letting her go. Before she left, he threatened, āEnna, remember not to turn off your phone and donāt let me lose track of you. Or elseā¦ā
āI wonāt turn it off, donāt worry. I have to go.ā
Once she left Bauhinia Garden, Enna felt like the air was fresher.
She only had $1.5 on her, just enough for one bus ride. She walked half an hour to a bus stop two stations away from Bauhinia Garden, not noticing that a black Land Rover followed her all the way from the neighborhood entrance before driving away silentlyā¦
40 minutes later, Enna arrived at the cafƩ where she agreed to meet with Olivia Lewis.
Though it was called a cafƩ, it was just a small drink shop outside the school. It was during class time, so there were barely any customers.
āWelcome, what would you like to drink?ā The clerk asked with a sweet smile.
Enna scanned the room but didnāt see Olivia Lewis. She turned to the clerk and asked, āMy friend isnāt here yet. Can I find a seat and wait for her?ā
āOf course.ā The store was empty anyway, so the clerk didnāt mind.
Enna sat down in a corner and took out her phone, intending to call Olivia and ask where she was and why she hadnāt come.
The phone vibrated as soon as she picked it up.
Assuming that it was Olivia calling, she answered without checking the caller
ID, āHello, Iām already here. Have you left yet?ā
From the other line, a panicked scream was followed by a clattering noise, and then a desperate cry for help. āEnna, save me⦠Hurryā¦ā That voiceā¦
Enna abruptly stood up, āAuntie, where are you?ā
āIām atā¦ā Michelle quickly reported the location. It seemed as if she was being threatened by someone, and hastily added, āDonāt call the police; they said theyād kill me if you do.ā
āSave me⦠Enna, save meā¦ā
There was another clang followed by Michelleās scream before the call was cut off.
Ennaās face turned pale as she grabbed her bag and ran out. Before leaving, she asked the store clerk to lend her $20. She then wrote down the address Michelle had just told her on a piece of paper and gave it to the clerk, asking her to give it to Olivia when she arrived.
Without time to explain, Enna hailed a taxi on the roadside and got in..
