After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Chapter 285 Escape

Chapter 285 Escape

"Why do you have to make it so difficult? If you had spoken up earlier, we could have avoided all this

stress."

The guy was still trying to persuade Jeff when he suddenly looked towards the door.

"Who are you?!"

He was fully alert when he saw a stranger woman coming.

Nevaeh smiled at him. "I am Sion's fiancée, you have been working here all along and probably haven't

seen me before."

"Fiancée?"

The guy remembered his boss's highly publicized wedding reception and felt a bit relieved. But he

didn't immediately believe her identity.

"Why hasn't Mr Carroll come with you?"

"He has been very busy lately, so he asked me to come and check on things."

The guy scrutinized her with his eyes, looking up and down while recalling at the same time. He did feel

that she looked quite similar to the woman in the news. With this in mind, his attitude improved a bit.

"Miss Burns, right? They still don't want to say anything."

As he spoke, he glanced at the three people who were tied up, with an impatient expression.

When Jeff and Tan looked up and saw Nevaeh, their hearts were filled with excitement. After waiting for

so long, they thought she finally came to save them.

Nevaeh glanced at the guy and slowly moved her feet.

"For such a long time... haven't they said anything?"

"I don't know why they're so stubborn, they didn't even say a word!"

"Um." Nevaeh's gaze lingered on the guy's face, and when it drifted to his rough neck, a fleeting

bloodthirsty glint flashed in her eyes. "Why don't you think of a solution?"

"I've tried many ways, but they..."

The guy's voice stopped.

Nevaeh stabbed a piece of glass into his neck the instant she passed him. The next second, blood kept

oozing out from his neck, staining the four of them.

Jeff was completely stunned by that. He always knew Nevaeh was ruthless, but he never thought she

would dare to kill someone. It was even more brutal than them.

The guy fell to the ground, convulsing all over, while Nevaeh simply ignore him and the blood on her

clothes. She quickly squatted down to untie them.

"How could you be caught here?!"

As she asked, her anger was evident. "I put in so much effort..."

But Jeff and the other two hadn't been killed by now.

Jeff, Hulk and Tan broke free from their restraints.

"Let's get out of here first!"

Nevaeh glanced at them. Then she turned to Jeff and said, "Make a mess here! Otherwise, if the police

come looking for you later, they'll find your tracks!"

The more chaotic it was, the better, and the more likely the police would think that Jeff and his partners

killed the bodyguard and ran away. And it would have nothing to do with her.

After a loud noise rang out, Nevaeh led them all out through a small door she had found when she first

arrived. They didn't go through the main entrance.

The warehouse was quiet now with only bloodstains on the ground as evidence of what had happened

there.

The police arrived quickly but by then everyone inside had already disappeared without a trace. The

edges of the bloodstains were starting to turn black; it was an unbearable sight.

When Aurora and Cameron returned later on, there was already a police cordon in place around the

warehouse. Aurora took one look inside at all that gore and felt blank in her head.

Cameron's face looked equally grim; he hadn't expected things to take such an ugly turn so soon after

leaving earlier. He stepped forward to pull Aurora back gently, "Don't look."

He covered her eyes with his hand, "Don't worry, I'm here."

This kind of murder scene was too terrifying; just one glance at all that blood made even someone like

Aurora who'd experienced murder before feel uneasy and regretful.

"He escaped on his own?" Aurora took a deep breath before removing Cameron's hand from over her

eyes while frowning slightly. "I'm fine... it's just that he dared kill someone so openly like this... I'm

worried."

"Based on what we see here, it seems likely," Cameron replied softly.

It looked like it had been ransacked violently during some kind of struggle or fight between people. But

until after forensic investigators had finished their work in detail, they wouldn't know anything for sure

yet. Right now any speculation would be premature.

"Given how violent things are inside." he continued thoughtfully, "Those thugs must have also suffered

injuries themselves. I'm sure police are already chasing after them though, he shouldn't be able to run

far."

Aurora nodded silently in agreement with him.

The only thing they could do now was to wait.

The other guys who watched Jeff there before were all shocked at the sight of the body. They had been

questioned by the police. Later, all of them were taken to the police station for investigation.

"Mr Carroll, there's an accident at the warehouse."

David quickly reported all the details of the matter.

Sion frowned and asked, "What about the three of them?"

"The police are searching the nearby mountains, they have not found any trace of them yet."David

paused before continuing, "But I suspect they have returned to downtown."

According to the cunning mind of the gangsters, they might have predicted that the police would search

the nearby mountains first, since the terrain on the mountain was complex, making it the best place to

hide from people. Thus, returning to the city would be a safe choice for them.

"Mhm." Sion took a leisurely sip of coffee and said, "Escape? It's just what I want."

His expression was fierce as he was thinking about something. He wanted to see where their ultimate

destination was.

David didn't appear surprised at Sion's words. "Then I'll have someone follow the progress of the

police."

With that said, David took out his phone and walked aside to give orders. Sion watched his movements

with a fixed gaze. This time, he would catch the mastermind behind the scenes.

Just a few days ago, Sion went to see Jeff at the warehouse of the Highland Resort.

Jeff had been beaten all over and there was no intact skin on his body.

"Say something." Sion threatened.

Jeff let out a low gasp of pain and gritted his teeth to glare at him.

He still had hope for Nevaeh to save them before they told Sion anything. He knew that if he confessed

to it, their end would be even worse than now, so he was willing to endure the pain while refusing to

speak.

Sion snorted coldly, "You have backbone."

"What about you?"

He turned to Hulk and Tan on the other side, his face calm and even with a hint of warmth in his voice, Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

as if he were casually asking what dish they wanted for dinner tonight.

Hulk and Tan trembled unconsciously. But what Jeff said was right. They had already endured for so

long. Speaking up now would be like undoing all their previous efforts.

So they gritted their teeth, avoiding eye contact with him.

Sion saw that they were still being stubborn. His fingers were slightly red from the earlier activity. He

stood up and said, "Find a doctor to treat their wounds."

He gave David a look before striding out of the warehouse.
