Chapter 327: Settling the Score

Half an hour later, Tina arrived at her destination. The area was desolate and silent, with not a soul in sight, surrounded by steel bars and bricks. She quickly found Zackary in the corner of the warehouse, his hands and feet bound, eyes covered, trembling.

"Zackary," Tina approached him and untied him. "It's alright now, don't be afraid."

Zackary, who had been shaking with fear, finally relaxed upon hearing her voice. Once freed, he couldn't hold back his tears and threw himself into her arms. "Sister!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Tina comforted him softly.

"Sister, she... she wanted to hurt me..." Zackary sobbed uncontrollably, his face flushed red.

Tina suppressed her anger and asked gently, "Who was it?"

Zackary stammered out the name. Tina scoffed. As expected, there was an insider in the Reed family; otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. The only way someone could bypass all the Reed family's security systems was if there was a problem from within.

"Let's go," she said, patting Zackary on the back and holding his hand. "We're going home."

"But sister..." Zackary was still shaken from the ordeal and spoke timidly, "I'm scared..."

"You have nothing to fear," Tina's eyes were fierce as she spoke each word with determination. "I will get justice for you."

At one in the morning, Tina returned to the Reed family estate with Zackary. The entire place was brightly lit; everyone was waiting for them.

"Tina! Zackary!" Annabelle exclaimed with a mix of surprise and relief as she rushed forward to embrace them. "I was so worried! You were gone for so long without any news; I didn't know what to do!"

"I'm fine, and Zackary is safe too," Tina reassured her calmly. "It just took some time."
