The Woman From Hell

Chapter 985

Everyone was rendered speechless and stopped asking her any more questions.

At this moment, Shannon looked at me and said meaningfully, "You seem to have never spoken to us about your past or your family."

I pursed my lips. "I was born an orphan after I was abandoned in a small county by my biological parents. My adoptive mother found me and raised me, but she passed away many years ago. I've been working alone in Riverbank City all these years. I changed jobs a month ago and am not familiar with the company's staff, so no one probably cares now that I've suddenly gone missing.”

Shannon probably was not expecting my life to be so tragic, so she took my hand and said a little guiltily," I’m sorry. I didn’t know."

I smiled slightly. "It's okay."

It seemed that it was only plausible that Nina's parents had contacted the cops here in order to find her.

After learning about what happened, we got ready to leave with the police.

We bade farewell to Harchi and his daughter before getting into the police car.

After a short period of happiness, Shannon said, "I hope we can all get home safely. I guess we're considered sworn friends now. Let's stay in touch after we go home."

Nina nodded with a smile. "That's for sure."

The car drove for about five or six hours before reaching the city, but it did not stop there and drove straight out of the city.

Sensing something amiss, Shannon looked at the man who spoke our language. "Where are you taking us?"

The man glanced indifferently at her and did not answer the question.

All of a sudden, everyone grew nervous. I glanced at the road ahead and asked him, "You're not a cop, are you?"

The man raised his eyebrows. "We're cops, but not the ones who are taking you home."

I suddenly remembered that not all police officers here were real police.

Nina broke down at once and screamed, "Let us out!" i

Holly was timider and started crying, while Dazaray closed her eyes and started praying.

Thaddea's complexion was pale. Her hopes of going home were dashed. She broke down a little but did not scream. She merely glared at the man with resentful

eyes.

I clasped my hands together, barely able to calm myself down. I looked at the man and asked, "Where d o you plan to take us?”

The man looked at me and smirked. "You're Wanda Lane, right?"

I frowned. "You know me?"

The man chuckled. "No, but the gangs in South Peacerton are all searching for you. You seem to be quite valuable."

My heart sank. A certain possibility came to mind.

It was too easy for Theo to find me in Riverbank City. Just because he did not appear in front of me did not mean he did not send anyone to keep an eye on me.

Perhaps Theo learned that I was missing and followed clues to find me here.

However, that was merely my speculation. I did not know if I was right or not.
