Chapter 236
Harrison's shadow was impossible to shake.
But there was no time to dwell on such emotional matters.
At this very moment, Dino was already shoving his pants down, approaching her with a lecherous look
on his face.
"So, Roxanne, you think you're capable, huh? You want to expose my secrets online, is that it? Today,
I'm going to film you being fucked.We’ll see who the real loser is."
Dino's primary worry was the potential exposure of his compromising video by Roxanne, which could
spell the end of his political career.
That was why he resorted such a despicable method.
He wanted to fucked Roxanne while also completely destroying her.
Then, Roxanne wouldn't dare to threaten him by any longer.
His gnarled hands reached towards Roxanne's chest, intend on tearing her clothes and molesting her.
The man, stood by with his phone was recording the horrifying scene. He chuckled lewdly.
Chloe, who was bound to a chair, could only watch helplessly.
She couldn’t do anything to save Roxanne. She wept in despair.
Roxanne tried to move and resist, but her body felt completely devoid of strength. She felt as if she was
a piece of meat on a butcher's block, unable to do anything but watch as he approached.
Just as he was about to pounce, the lantern nearby suddenly went dark.
The entire desolate floor plunged into darkness.
Not a trace of light.
It was a terrifying darkness.
Chloe cried out, "Anne, are you okay? Anne? Annep?"
Roxanne weakly responded, "Chloe, I'm okay."
The already cold space became even colder suddenly .
This coldness was different from the usual cold. It was bone-chilling and sent shivers down one’s spine.
"Boss, hold off on dealing with this bitch for a second. I'll go fix the light."
"Damn, what the fuck is going on."
The man cursed and tried to fix the broken lantern.
As he was doing so, Roxanne felt a chilling breeze blow past her, heading in his direction.
In no time, he managed to fix the lantern.
The dark room regained its illumination.
But at this moment, Dino and the other man had mysteriously vanished.
"Boss, where did you go? Where are you guys?"
He was searing for them, temporarily ignoring Roxanne and Chloe.
Chloe, with her chair still bound to her, slowly moved closer to Roxanne.
"Anne, are you okay?"
"Why did they suddenly disappear?"
"I didn't see clearly."
The voices of them echoed through the empty floor.
Chloe glanced around the creepy environment, didn’t dare breathe too loudly.
"Anne, don’t you think this place might actually be ghosts here?"
"There are no ghosts in this world."
Roxanne, not having the time to think about it, was afraid that the man and his boss might come back.
She struggled to shift her body and said, "Chloe, come closer and face away from me. I still have a bit
of strength left. I'll untie your ropes."
Her hands were bound.
She had no choice but to use her teeth to painstakingly gnaw at the knot on Chloe's wrists slowly.
After over ten minutes, Chloe finally felt the ropes loosen a bit. She quickly untied wriggled free and Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
proceeded to untie the ropes on Roxanne.
"Anne, are you okay? Can you walk?"
"Yes."
Roxanne felt weak, but she could still slowly move, taking one step at a time.
Chloe quickly supported her as they left that eerie place.
Strangely, Dino and his man never returned.
Once they walked out of the unfinished building, they hailed a taxi and left.
Inside the taxi, Chloe called Amelia, inquired about her children, and told Amelia she wouldn't be
coming back tonight. She asked Amelia to look after the children.
She didn't mention anything about the kidnapping, fearing that Amelia would told it to the children.
Roxanne felt more energetic as the effects of the drug wearing of.
She looked at Chloe with guilt, "Chloe, I'm sorry for getting you involved. I almost let them harm you."
"They just tied me up and they didn't do anything to me. You’re Dino’s target, Anne. I was really scared
back then. I thought he would really harm you."
It was indeed strange.
The lights were working fine, and then they suddenly went out.
By the time the man fixed them, Dino had vanished, which was baffling.
The events of this evening were too unexpected and mysterious.
Roxanne and Chloe has just returned to East Adjacent Estates when they received a call from the
State Police Department.
They were told they were involved in a criminal case and were asked to come in to provide statement.
At the police department, they saw the man, who seemed disoriented, mumbling to himself. He
appeared to be in a bad mental state.
The officers brought them into separate offices.
After some questioning, Roxanne learned that Dino and his henchman had been found dead in the
unfinished building.
He was the one who reported it to the police.
Roxanne and Chloe were separately taken into interrogation rooms to be questioned.
They told the police anything they knew, didn’t dare to hide a single detail.
Then they were held in the interrogation room.
The head officer brought various documents to the senior officer.
"Sir, the statements of the two women and the man are consistent. There's no discrepancy."
"I've also conducted an investigation. The two women and the man didn't know each other before, so
there's no motive for them to murder Dino."
"Furthermore, the video on his phone matches with their statements. They passed the lie detector test.
The two women had some disputes with Dino, but it’s clear they didn’t kill him."
"This case is strange."
The senior officer pondered for a moment, "Keep them in custody for another twenty-four hours. If
there's no progress, release them."
By the time Roxanne and Chloe were released, it was already three days later.
Both of them were exhausted.
Roxanne, in particular, looked quite pale.
They walked out of the interrogation room and headed outside.
"Anne, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just a bit tired. What about you?"
"I'm okay, too. The officer returned my phone, and I saw the news. The police announced that Dino's
cause of death was suicide by jumping off the building. Isn't that weird?"
On the topic of Dino's cause of death, Roxanne remained silent.
The end of science was metaphysics, an enigma that no one can truly understand.
"He got what he deserved!"
"Roxanne, let's go back and take a shower. We haven't had one in two days, and I smell like a rotting
fish."
Roxanne sniffed herself and agreed. She did smell terrible.
Their clothes were dirty and they both looked a mess.
As they were about to leave the police station, an officer stopped them and told them to leave through
the back door.
It seemed that the State Police Department was preparing to receive someone influential as there was
a red carpet outside, and two rows of officers were maintaining order.
Chloe's attention was drawn to the man walking down the red carpet.
She nudged Roxanne, saying "Anne, isn't that Harrison?"
Yes, it was Harrison.
Harrison was being escorted by senior officers and walked in with an imposing presence, followed by a
couple of bodyguard.
Roxanne quickly pulled Chloe away and exited through the back door.
"Anne, why didn't you go greet him? At least tell Harrison what happened the other night. Maybe he
could put in a good word for us with the police, and we won't need to be questioned again."
Roxanne tried to suppress the turmoil in her heart, saying with a bitter smile, "I don’t need to greet him.
I already went to him to seek help, but he refused to see me. There's no point in approaching him
again, and we have no connection anymore."
