BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 - 74: Enna, save me…
Enna Clark didn’t quite understand but honestly answered, “It’s the pair of pearl earrings we bought together.”
Pleased by her inclusion of ‘together,’ combined with the satisfying meal they just had, Baron Lawrence relented easily. “Go ahead, but come back early.” “Okay.”
“Don’t turn off your phone, don’t ignore my calls, and reply to me immediately when I text you…”
Seeing that he had more to say, Enna quickly agreed for fear that she wouldn’t get to go if he continued. “I got it, I’m going to change.”
Then, without giving him another chance to speak, she ran into the bedroom.
In no time, she put on a simple white T-shirt and jeans.
Her hair still in a ponytail, she revealed her clean, flawless face, and her outfit made her look like a college student.
She looked pure and beautiful.
Baron’s eyes darkened, pulling her over for a kiss before letting her go. Before she left, he threatened, “Enna, remember not to turn off your phone and don’t let me lose track of you. Or else…”
“I won’t turn it off, don’t worry. I have to go.”
Once she left Bauhinia Garden, Enna felt like the air was fresher.
She only had $1.5 on her, just enough for one bus ride. She walked half an hour to a bus stop two stations away from Bauhinia Garden, not noticing that a black Land Rover followed her all the way from the neighborhood entrance before driving away silently…
40 minutes later, Enna arrived at the café where she agreed to meet with Olivia Lewis.
Though it was called a café, it was just a small drink shop outside the school. It was during class time, so there were barely any customers.
“Welcome, what would you like to drink?” The clerk asked with a sweet smile.
Enna scanned the room but didn’t see Olivia Lewis. She turned to the clerk and asked, “My friend isn’t here yet. Can I find a seat and wait for her?”
“Of course.” The store was empty anyway, so the clerk didn’t mind.
Enna sat down in a corner and took out her phone, intending to call Olivia and ask where she was and why she hadn’t come.
The phone vibrated as soon as she picked it up.
Assuming that it was Olivia calling, she answered without checking the caller
ID, “Hello, I’m already here. Have you left yet?”
From the other line, a panicked scream was followed by a clattering noise, and then a desperate cry for help. “Enna, save me… Hurry…” That voice…
Enna abruptly stood up, “Auntie, where are you?”
“I’m at…” Michelle quickly reported the location. It seemed as if she was being threatened by someone, and hastily added, “Don’t call the police; they said they’d kill me if you do.”
“Save me… Enna, save me…”
There was another clang followed by Michelle’s scream before the call was cut off.
Enna’s face turned pale as she grabbed her bag and ran out. Before leaving, she asked the store clerk to lend her $20. She then wrote down the address Michelle had just told her on a piece of paper and gave it to the clerk, asking her to give it to Olivia when she arrived.
Without time to explain, Enna hailed a taxi on the roadside and got in..
