Back in Time: Unshackling From Love

Chapter 16

“You see for yourself!” Jerome tossed the phone to Mikayla.

Mikayla picked it up, and there was surveillance footage on it.

The location looked like a garage, with two men wearing hats and masks lurking in a

corner.

Before long, Kylie, dressed in a suit, arrived at the parking lot.

Just as she unlocked her car, the two men quickly dashed toward her.

Seeing Mikayla looking serious, Jerome held back and said, “After they grabbed Kylie and got her into the car, the security in the surveillance room noticed something was off and intervened in time.”

Mikayla chuckled. “Quite amusing, isn’t it? They went all out to capture her, only to choose a place with surveillance, waiting to be discovered.”

“Mikayla, what’s with this attitude?”

Jerome, frustrated, said, “When the security rescued Kylie from the car, her mouth was taped, hands and feet bound. The consequences would have been unimaginable if they hadn’t discovered it in time.”

With that, Jerome threw out several photos.

In the photos, there were indeed two individuals with hats resembling the men in the surveillance footage, appearing in the same convenience store as Mikayla.
