Chapter 2196


    "And you guys who are working for Charlie! You are not letting me go, right? I will surely settle the


    score with all of you, one by one when I get out!"


    "Do you really think that I, Carmen Wade, am someone that you can just toy with?! Hurry up and let


    me go now!!!"


    The more Carmen scolded and cursed, the more agitated she felt. At this time, she could not stop


    coughing. "Cough, cough, cough... Cough, cough, cough ... If you refuse to let me go, I will turn


    around, throw all of you into the Yaak River, and feed you to the fishes there! I am going to kill each


    and every one of you one by one! I will kill you and make sure that you can never be reincarnated!"


    It was no wonder Carmen was acting so hysterically at this point. After all, she had been living in


    this kind of ce where the lowest ss poption lived.


    Therefore, she was already on the verge of copsing.


    Also, this ce in Aurous Hill was located toward the south of the Yaak River. The weather was


    humid during winter, and the rental house that Carmen was living in did not have any air


    conditioning or heater. Therefore, she could only wrap herself in a damp quilt as she wiped her


    tears on the bed every day.


    She had been looking forward to the end of the seventh day where she could finally make her


    escape ever since the first second she had moved into this house.


    However, she would never have thought that Albert would refuse to let her go even after she had


    endured and made it through the seven days with many difficulties.


    Carmen did not only feel anger and frustration, but she also felt sheer terror and exasperation.


    She was afraid that Charlie would suddenly go back o n his words. She was afraid that he would


    invalidate the seven days and continue putting her under house arrest without giving her a clear


    date for her subsequent release. 3


    Therefore, she had decided to start screaming like a crazy woman every day just so that she could


    attract the attention of the neighbors around her as well as the attention of the police. She wanted to


    put pressure on Charlie and his subordinates so that they would release her as soon as possible.


    However, Carmen did not know that Albert had already moved all of the neighbors living around her


    away yesterday.


    There were about thirty residents in this residential building, including thendlord. At this time,


    aside from Carmen, everyone else was enjoying a free stay a t a five-star hotel.


    Therefore, even if Carmen continued yelling and shouting, there was no one paying any attention to


    her


    at all.


    No one paid any attention to her even after she had already screamed until her voice was hoarse.


    Not a single neighbor or police officer came by to ask any questions at all.


    Carmen, who felt extremely depressed, immediately took out her cell phone and requested a video


    call with her father, Jeremiah Wade, who was far away in Eastcliff.


    When the video call was finally connected, Carmen cried as she yelled, "Dad! Hurry up and ask that


    b* stard, Charlie, to let me go... I really cannot take this anymore... If he refuses to let me go now, I


    would rather die here, then... sob, sob, sob..." 3


    Jeremiah could only sigh helplessly on the other end o f the video call.


    He understood Carmen''s character very well, and he knew by all means that Carmen couldn''t


    possiblymit suicide or take any actions to inflict selfharm. So, he said seriously, "Carmen! You


    should not b e so anxious! Just calm down! You should be patient. I’m sure Charlie will not keep you


    locked up. He will probably let you go in a few days.”


    Carmen continued crying as she said, "Dad! You don''t know what I have gone through over these


    past nine days! Dad, when have I ever suffered such a huge grievance in this life?! If you do not


    look for that b* stard, Charlie, and ask him to let me go now, he might not even release me


    tomorrow! What will I do if he


    intends to keep me locked up here, then?!"


    As she spoke, Carmen pleaded again, "Dad, I beg you. Please just give him a call and ask him to


    let me go!"


    Jeremiah replied seriously, "Carmen, I finally got Yule t o persuade Charlie toe home and


    participate in the ancestor worship ceremony during the uing Tomb Sweeping Festival. This


    matter is extremely important to the Wade family. Therefore, there cannot be any mistakes in this


    matter. If Charlie changes his mind because of you, it will definitely be a great loss t o the Wade


    family!" 3

    Carmen finally understood now.


    It turned out that the reason why Lord Wade was unwilling to put any pressure on Charlie was


    mainly because he was unwilling to offend Charlie for her sake!


    When she thought about the fact that she could not even rely on her own father, Carmen felt very


    sad and depressed. She cried as she said, "Dad! What if Charlie refuses to let me go and continues


    keeping me locked up? What should I do then?!" 3


    Lord Wade hurriedly replied, "Oh, Carmen! If Charlie has not let you go even after the Tomb


    Sweeping Festival, I will certainly ask him for an exnation, then."


    Carmen was on the verge of copse when she heard this. "Dad! The Tomb Sweeping Festival is in


    April! That is almost two months away!"
