After hanging up the phone, Carmen's heart sank even more.
Edgar promised to help Leo, but he'd been fired from the Xia's Group. He was already infamous and divorcing Adela.
What could he do without the help of both the Lin family and the Xia family?
"Mom, what did he say?"
"He said he'd find a way. Renee, get your stuff. We gotta get out of here." Carmen believed in Edgar. He wouldn't joke with her about this.
Adela became so arrogant because she was the only daughter of the Lin family. Now that she was injured, she was gonna get even.
"What? Mom, why should we leave?" Renee didn't know what was going on.
"Why? Your brother hurt Adela and was arrested. Do you think the Lin family will let us go? If you don't want to die, get the hell out of here." Carmen was not joking. She knew how important Adela was to the Lin family.
"Oh, I see." Renee thought of how Adela broke in with her bodyguards. Carmen was not fit to fight now, so they had to leave!
Renee packed her bags in less than ten minutes.
She didn't even put on makeup. She and Carmen dragged their suitcases to the elevator.
Seeing the elevator going up, Carmen grabbed Renee's hand. For some reason, she felt very uneasy.
"Let's take the stairs."
Renee believed her and walked to the stairs with her. At this time, the elevator just opened.
A group of bodyguards in black came out. "So this is it, huh?"
"Yes, I came here not long ago. Remember, We can do whatever we want as long as we don't kill them."
"That woman is really shameless. She cheated on Ben and tricked him into raising her kids. Poor dumb*ss."
"Maybe this is how the upper class works. Everyone looks gorgeous, but behind the scenes they do countless unethical things. Carmen's daughter got famous when she was a teenager. Like mother, like daughter."
"Boss, I haven't f*cked a woman in a long time. Can I..."
"Sure. Just remember to keep them alive."
Hearing that, Carmen and Renee felt cold all over.
What happened at the warehouse came to Renee's mind. Tears poured down her face. Carmen quickly covered her mouth to stop her from making a sound.
When the bodyguards were walking toward the apartment, Carmen quickly pulled her away.
She was glad that her intuition just told her not to take the elevator.
They took the stairs and left. They did not dare to imagine what would happen if they stayed there.
Carmen did not dare to go to the big hotels. She checked into a motel.
On one hand, she could afford it. On the other hand, they could avoid being discovered.
Renee burst into tears as soon as she entered the room. "Mom, how did we get here? Even the rats are freer than us."
Carmen was finally relieved. She hugged Renee tightly. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. This is all because I got greedy.
I thought about not having you, but the doctor told me I was carrying a pair of lovely twins, and my uterus was thin.
"Little bunny, I want you." Adam pressed her on the seat. This man was thinking about car sex.
"Adam, knock it off."
"It's not the first time, right? Little bunny, I can't help it." Adam rolled up the windows.
Tracey tried to push him away, but she couldn't. In the end, she compromised.
The atmosphere in the car was getting ambiguous...
Sean stood by the window like a statue. He had been conflicted during the past two days. When he saw how close Tracey and Adam were, he suddenly wanted to give up.
But something within him told him that he couldn't give up on her.
He stood still in a trance. No matter who she was with, he only wanted to look at her.
He didn't know what happened to her last night. He called her not long ago, and she was on her way to the hospital.
He was really happy when he thought that he was about to see her soon. He got out of bed and stood by the window, because he wanted to see her as soon as she arrived.
"Sean, let it go. She's Adam's woman now. It's not gonna work out between you two." Rachel knew what he was thinking.
"Let it go? Then why don't you give up on me?" Sean replied indifferently.
"We are already married. You'll always be my husband." Rachel looked somewhat stubborn.
Sean didn't answer her. When he saw Adam's car, his eyes lit up.
The car door opened and the driver got off. But he didn't see Adam and Tracey. The doors and the windows were closed. What were they doing inside?
