Chapter 951

In a dimly lit room, Endora Melford was unceremoniously thrown in by one of Parker Doonan's men.

The woman landed on the filthy, damp floor, surrounded by an eerie atmosphere. Endora looked up, taking in the chaotic environment and the nearly dark lighting, with bizarre metal racks beside her, a shiver running down her spine. From the moment she was bound and brought here, Parker hadn't uttered a single word to her.

Endora had some inkling that this was Parker's way of avoiding a public confrontation at the police station.

She was adept at playing the victim and feigning ignorance, never admitting to anything until absolutely necessary.

Groaning, Endora picked herself up from the ground, only to find Parker's towering figure standing in front of her, blocking the only source of light from the ceiling.

The harsh light illuminated his chiseled features, casting a sinister shadow that made the already formidable man seem even more menacing.

Endora shuddered inwardly, her eyes feigning innocence, "Parker, I don't understand what you're talking about? Kidnapping Cherry...?"
