Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 139: Having Doubts

"We can't get there. Security's too tight," Luna said, her worry as evident as Kesha's. "What about you, F?" "Same here. Too many guards downstairs."

I closed my eyes for a moment, shutting out their voices. I needed to think of a way out. There had to be a way. I couldn't let them bring me down. There were seven of them, all armed. I suspected three of them carried extra guns at their waists; their uniforms were different from the others. And now that I thought about it, there were no residents or other people on this top floor except for me.

This was a trap.

"They hacked my computer. Damn fuckers," Kesha said, confirming my suspicion.

Now I understood why she hadn't detected anything unusual earlier, despite being our tech expert.

Someone had set us up. Was my father aware of this?

The thought made my chest tighten. Every time I tried to make a plan, this person was always a step ahead.

They weren't just beating me-they were stomping on my pride, and I was starting to hate it.

"We'll find a way, S," Finnick said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Just hold on a little longer. I'll get to you."

"Right," I muttered absentmindedly, suddenly remembering I had my team.

I wasn't alone in this battle. Why did I always try to solve everything by myself when I had a team willing to help, especially in moments like this? They couldn't reach me directly, but they could help from the outside. That thought sparked an idea.

"Can you distract the helicopter for me, F?" I asked Finnick.

"Yes," he replied without hesitation.

"L and R, set up a mini-trampoline outside. I'll tell you when to open it so you won't draw attention," I instructed Luna and Rain.

If I wasn't mistaken, they had a mini trampoline in the car earlier. We rarely used it because our plans typically went smoothly.

It was one of Tanner's inventions, a gift from Evangeline for product testing. I never thought it would be useful until now.

"Kesha, try to hack the hacker," I commanded. "It might be someone I've been searching for."

"Copy."
