    “If we dare to kidnap you, do you really think we’d be scared of you calling the cops?” The man


    sneered, hanging up the phone. This time they didn’t just tape up Cornelia’s mouth, but also covered


    her head with a ck cloth, extinguishing all hope for her.


    These people were not even afraid of the police. They must be some desperadoes who have


    committed serious crimes Such desperadoes might not be afraid of legal sanctions, but they would be


    afraid of people who are more ruthless than them. The only person Cornelia knew that could fit that bill


    was Marcus.


    Her call with him had still been ongoing when she was kidnapped, would he have noticed something


    was off?


    Would he risk his neck for her, a mere assistant against these ruthless thugs?


    Cornelia had no idea!


    All she knew was that even if Marcus was willing to save her, it would take him a while to find her


    She had to figure out a way to save herself, or at least let him know where she was


    Blinded by the cloth, Cornelia could only rely on the movement of the car to guess where they were


    heading


    The van sped along the roads, darting through one street after another, finally pulling into an


    underground parking lot.


    On the way, the car made one left turn and one right turn and then went straight ahead.


    During the ride they encountered about eight traffic lights, slowed down slightly three times, and


    stopped five times Based on her knowledge of Riverton, if she wasn’t mistaken, they should be at


    Skyline Tower now.


    Skyline Tower was in Fairfort, Riverton. It was a border area between the city center and the suburbs,


    with lots of slums. Skyline Tower was the heart of this area.


    Two years ago, a homicide urred in the building. A young girl jumped from the eighteenth floor and


    died on the spot.


    After that, many tenants moved out. The ce was then taken over by a mysterious person and the


    whole building was transformed into an entertainment venue.


    Cornelia remembered the date of the girl’s incident very clearly, as it was the day she officially joined


    the Hartley Group.


    Before the car had evene to a stop, Cornelia was dragged out and then hauled into an elevator.


    She counted the seconds to calcte which floor they had reached. The elevator ascended floor by


    floor.


    Finally it stopped on the eighteenth. The elevator doors opened, the ck cloth was removed from


    Cornelia’s head, and she was greeted by a carpeted corridor and flickering lights.


    Next, Cornelia was pushed into a room.


    There were a dozen or so men and women in the room, all crazily twisting their bodies, shouting and


    screaming like a bunch of wild animals.


    As soon as Cornelia was pushed in, the room fell silent. All eyes were on her.


    The man behind her ripped off the tape from her mouth and gave her a hard shove.


    She almost lost her bnce and fell, but luckily she managed to steady herself on a coffee table in


    front of her.


    Everyone crowded around her. The man in the middle took off his baseball cap and face mask,


    revealing an annoying face, “Cornelia, you remember me, right?”
