Chapter 714

Once she was back in the small room, Nadine looked at Sean, who was still fast asleep. She felt her racing heart begin to settle.

She had no idea what the Hamiltons were going through at that moment, but she couldn't shake the feeling that what that woman said might be true. If the Hamilton family was facing a crisis, how could she get them out of this situation?

The female officer noticed her return and figured that negotiations had fallen through. "Ms. Scott, the other party is wealthy and influential. I suggest you accept their terms and just endure it.

But at that moment, she had no way to escape, no place to hide-she'd just have to tough it out.
