Yvette's expression remained unreadable as she glanced briefly toward a nearby pillar, her hands still casually in her pockets. With a faint smirk, she called out, "Come on out. I'm here, so why keep hiding?"

Both Layla and the group of men in black froze, shocked that Yvette had spotted someone behind the pillar. Winona, realizing her cover was blown, decided there was no point in hiding any longer. Winona had no intention of sparing Yvette, and if Yvette knew who was behind this plot, it wouldn't change the outcome. Only one of them would leave this factory alive.

Winona emerged, clapping slowly, her eyes' cold and menacing as they locked onto Yvette. Seeing Winona step forward, Layla hurried to her side. "Winona, I did everything you asked. I brought her here, so I'll just head out now. This place gives me the creeps," Layla said, shifting uncomfortably.

Layla thought her role was done-that she had merely been the bait to lure Yvette into Winona's trap.

But in the next moment, Winona cast her a look of disdain. She thought, 'Foolish girl. Does Winona really think she'd walk away unscathed? Her purpose here is far more than just leading Yvette into the trap!' Winona motioned to the men in black, and without hesitation, they moved forward and restrained Layla.

Layla stared in horror, struggling against their grip as she shouted at Winona, "Winona, what are you doing? Why are you tying me up? We're good friends, and you should be tying up Yvette! Let me go, let me go!" Winona's gaze shifted from Yvette's calm, detached expression to Layla's frantic, pleading face.
