NovelXXXChapter 853 Chapter 853: Seeing Kristopher's indifference, the man smirked and turned back to Camille. "Sweetheart, if you were hoping for a knight in shining armor, you picked the wrong one. That guy's heart is colder than mine. He wouldn't spare you a second glance, let alone save you." As he spoke, he reached out and ran a finger along Camille's cheek, his touch slow and deliberate, his smile dripping with sleaze.
Camille's heart pounded as she watched Kristopher disappear down the hall, her last hope fading with every step he took. Her throat tightened with frustration, but there was no tto curse his cruelty. She already knew what was coming next. All she could do now was pray-pray that Carrie would find her soon.
Meanwhile, Carrie was being dragged into the villa by several men. Though she hadn't resisted, the bodyguards still treated her like a captive, their grips firm and unrelenting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Marina had mentioned the Webster family earlier, it hadn't worked-so Carrie knew bringing up the Morrison family would be useless as well. None of the Morrisons were in Isonridge at the moment. If these people decided to retaliate against the Morrison family's businesses, there wouldn't be anyone around to make quick decisions. She had no choice but to remain calm. She had to think of how to negotiate with the manager. And silently hope that Kyson would arrive soon.
It was ironic-in her most desperate moment, Kyson, a friend she hadn't known for very long, was the only one she could count on.

The sound cfrom the end of the hallway-loud, desperate. Then, just as quickly, it was cut off by the slam of a door. Immediately after, only silence remained in the corridor.
A cold dread settled in Carrie's chest. That voice-she knew that voice. Camille.
Without thinking, she struggled violently against the hands holding her. "That was my friend's scream! You said this place runs a legitimate business, but she's clearly in danger!" Two men who had exited the elevator ahead of them turned toward the source of the scream.
They recognized the private room-and more importantly, they recognized the man inside. A regular. A man no one wanted to cross. A few months ago, a new bodyguard had accidentally offended that man. He had been dragged into that very sroom and beaten so badly that he never returned to work. A few days later, word spread that he had gone on a fishing trip-except he never cback.
How could he have gone fishing in his battered state? No one believed it was an accident. But the man responsible still roamed free, enjoying his nights at the club without consequence.

One of them immediately hardened his expression and barked, "Don't talk nonsense. What scream?” Carrie's patience snapped. “Are you deaf?! We all heard it! That was Camille!"
The bodyguard scoffed. "Could've been someone who drank too much. Maybe someone watching a horror NO movie. It was just a short cry-how can you even be sure it was her? Miss, you're overreacting.”
"Letcheck. Just one moment, please." She inhaled sharply, them stepped backy/softening her voice as she pleaded.
