Cordelia followed behind Yelena. They walked around the hotel building and arrived at the basement car park.

It was dark and quiet around. There was hardly anyone who would come. Also, even if they did come here, they would use the elevator inside the hotel instead of taking the long way like they did.

Cordelia slowed down. She could not help but get suspicious.

“What are you doing?” Yelena, who was walking in front, urged. “Quickly! I parked my car downstairs.”

“Can you find it?”

“Do you think I don’t know where I parked my car? What? Don’t tell me you want me to pick you up with the car?” Yelena scoffed. “Cordelia, if I were to pick you up at the hotel entrance with a fanfare, everyone would see you dressed like this! Are you trying to humiliate our family?”

Cordelia pursed her lips and said nothing more.

The path toward the basement car park was dark. Like a black hole, they could not see the end.

Yelena was almost sprinting in front. It was a little tough for Cordelia to catch up with her. The former was turning here and there—she had no idea where she went. It was dark in the surroundings, and she could not see the way at all.

Cordelia panicked a little bit. There was a damp smell in the area, making her even more uncomfortable.

“Sister…” she said, and the only thing that responded was her echo. “Where is this?”

After some time, Yelena’s shrill and cunning laughter came into the dark.

“This is the place you should be!”

Cordelia’s heart suddenly thumped. A chill coursed through her back to her entire body!

She was pushed by a force before she could react and screamed from the scare. Within the blink of an eye, she fell hard onto the uneven concrete ground. Her knees were hurting!

Subsequently, a noise of a door being shut came.

Cordelia’s head went blank. She struggled to get up from the ground and rushed forward. She heard Yelena saying coldly with a grin through a metal door.

“My dear sister, you won’t be attending the dinner! I’ll tell dad that you didn’t want to come!”
