Chapter 1021


    He nodded.


    When I got into the car, I shamelessly asked again, "M r. Fredericks, can I get a month''s advance


    on my sry?"


    I had lost everything. My ID card and bank card needed to be reced. I did not even have a cell


    phone right now. It was not really convenient to be without one.


    Jordan nced at me, not saying anything. He merely took out a white box from the glove


    compartment and handed it to me.


    I took it and unboxed it. It was a cell phone.


    He said tly, "This will be your sry this month."


    I quickly nodded. "Don’t worry, Mr. Fredericks. I''ll work hard."


    After not having a phone for two months, I felt like I was about to turn into an alien.


    I was a little emotional when I switched on the phone.


    However, there was no SIM card in the phone, so I could not use it to do anything.


    I cheerfully told myself to register a SIM card after work.


    The Fredericks owned arge industry in Hommiton City, mainly in jewelry. Its daily shipment


    quantity was astoundingly huge.


    Thepany''s building was located in the city center of Hommiton City, which was always the most


    prosperous part of a city.


    Although I was Jordan''s secretary, I was still not used t o thepany''s environment and general


    workflow. Hence, I spent the morning familiarizing myself with i t.


    During lunch break, I went to the business office to register a SIM card.


    The first thing I did when I was able to make a phone call was to call the police.


    I was not sure if thew firm and those people were still there, but I could not just sit around and do


    nothing just because I was not sure.


    I was lucky enough to escape, but that did not mean that everyone was lucky like me. I did not want


    anyone else to go through the same horrifying ordeal.


    After I logged into the chat software, which was bound to my bank card, I feltpletely grounded.


    After leaving Whaldorf City, I had not replied to people''s messages nor posted a tweet.


    I looked at the notifications that kept popping up, all o f which were messages sent to me by my


    friends in Whaldorf City.


    Theo was the one who sent the most messages. I hesitated for a moment before tapping on it.


    He sent me many photos of him and Munchkin. None of the messages were wordy. He would also


    greet me every day.


    Thest one was sent yesterday. It seemed like he was doing okay.

    After thinking about it, I replied: [I''m doing very well. Don''t worry.]


    I did not know what else to say other than this.


    Later, I sent Cassey and Susan a text as well to tell them that I was safe.


    Two dayster, I made a trip to Riverbank City because I had to collect evidence.


    The moment Horton saw me, the files in his hands fell to the floor. An undisguised look of surprise


    on his face. "You’re alive, Wanda Lane."


    I smiled slightly. "I''m still alive thanks to you."


    As I had given him a call when I was in thew firm, I needed to question him too.


    When I went to thew firm, it was already empty.


    What happened after that was beyond my control. After everything was done, I left.


    Theo gave me a call as soon as I stepped out of the door.


    I was too familiar with his phone number. Even though I did not save his number, I knew it was him


    at a nce.


    It was hard to choose whether to answer it or not.


    It was not until the call was about to end that I made m y choice.


    When I answered, the man''s familiar voice entered my ears. "Where are you?" 2
