### Chapter 0098

“They’re still out?” one of the guys asked, leaning in to look inside the cage.

“Looks that way,” another guy replied. “It’s late; we might as well just do this.”

“Tomorrow,” he said.

“He wanted it done tonight,” the other rogue whispered.

“Yeah, but he made it clear that he wanted her to be awake and understand why she was being killed. He wants it recorded so he…”

“That could be our evidence,” he told his friend.

“What about the other one?” his buddy asked.

“We’ll just call it a bonus,” the rogue laughed. “Let’s get some sleep and come back here tomorrow.”

With that, they walked away once more.

Once the door was closed, I opened my eyes and let out a shaky breath.

I looked down at Irene and saw that she was still asleep. I started counting the minutes until she would wake up. I felt her hand twitch beside me, and I knew she was starting to stir.

I let out a sigh of relief. She was finally waking up. I wouldn’t be alone anymore, and together we could figure out what to do next.

Gently, I pulled her head onto my lap as she started to wake. It took some time, and there were many moments of silence as she slowly came to.

I heard a soft groan, and I guessed she was feeling a bit hungover too. After a moment, her eyes slowly opened and locked onto mine.

“Judy?” she whispered softly.

“What… what happened?” she asked, confusion in her voice.

“I don’t want you to worry,” I replied.

“I don’t want you to freak out,” I said softly, but I could tell my worried tone made her uneasy. She lifted her head, and as soon as she felt the burning sensation of the silver around her wrists, she yelped in surprise.

She quickly looked at her wrists and then back at me, fear in her eyes.

Her eyes were wide with fear.

“W…wh…” she began to stutter, panic clear on her face.

“I told you not to freak out,” I reminded her.

She looked around, realizing we were in a strange situation.

Irene felt trapped in a cage, tears streaming down her face.

“What’s going on?” she whispered, her voice shaking with fear.

“It’s going to be okay, Irene,” I said gently. “We’re going to figure this out and get out of here.”

I wasn’t sure how we were going to handle this. “But I think we were kidnapped…”

Her whole body shook as she sat there, tears filling her eyes.

“H… how?” she stammered.

She asked, “I don’t understand. Why??”

“I don’t have any of the answers,” I replied, pressing my knees to my chest. “But they are waiting until morning.”

“For what?” she asked, her eyes wide with fear.

“I think they want to kill us…”

**Chapter 0098**

Ethan had instructed his subordinate to find some thugs to kidnap Judy and keep her captive.

He thought that if he scared her a little, it might help his plan. His goal was to go in and rescue Judy. Once he saved her, she would be so grateful that she would agree to be his mistress. Then, he could finally have everything he wanted.

Ethan had no idea that his subordinate had other plans. This subordinate, who had never liked Judy, felt resentment towards her because she was always the top student in school. Judy’s perfect grades always overshadowed him, and he felt embarrassed whenever they were paired together for class projects.

Judy’s achievements made him feel small, and he wished he could outshine her just once. But as far as he was concerned, that would never happen.

Ethan found himself growing fond of Carol. They developed a unique friendship, bonding over their shared dislike for Judy. Both wanted Judy out of their lives, and now Ethan had a plan to make that happen.

Judy thought she was safe, but her boss’s subordinate had other plans. He had hired some rogues to kill her and make it look like an accident. He also wanted the whole thing recorded so he could use it as proof if anyone questioned what happened. On top of that, he knew Carol would be involved.

Ethan was eager to see the footage for himself. It was the perfect plan – a way to deal with Judy without getting his hands dirty.

He believed that his subordinate had asked their packmates to handle the task. Little did he know, the rogues were actually involved.

Ethan just learned that the rogues had kidnapped Judy. If he didn’t rescue her by tomorrow evening as planned, she would be dead, and the rogues would be blamed for it.

At the same time, Gavin was waiting for his daughter to come back home. He was worried about her and hoped she would return safely.

Gavin didn’t expect his guards and Leroy to come back without Irene.

“Where’s my daughter?” Gavin demanded, standing up and glaring at his men.

They all exchanged worried looks.

“We thought she took an Uber home,” one of the guards said nervously.

“Or something,” Leroy replied, sounding nervous. “She asked the guards to stay outside the restaurant while she and Miss Judy ate. They never came out.”

“What?!” Gavin growled, making them tremble with fear.

“We went inside after a while to see where they were. The hostess told us they left through the back door. I think they were trying to get away from us. We figured they probably took an Uber home,” said one of the group.

“Did she not return?” Leroy asked, his brow furrowed with worry.

Gavin was filled with rage, seeing nothing but red.

His growl shook the entire villa, echoing for miles around.

“WHERE THE HELL IS MY—”
