The crying was coming from the bushes nearby. Yasmine frowned slightly and slowly walked over. Could someone have abandoned a baby here?

As she slowly approached the bushes, the crying grew louder. When she got close and looked, her pupils shrank in shock. There wasn't a baby at all-it was just a tape recorder!

It's such a pity they haven't seen your true colors yet!" Helen scolded.

The creaky sound echoed like an old wooden door being opened, and in walked a man with a mischievous grin on his face. "Wow, this lady's pretty good-looking. I bet you didn't just have me kidnap her for the money, right?" Dalton chuckled. Helen tilted Yasmine's chin up and sneered, "Look at that face. She's nothing but a tramp, a real vixen. Once we get the money, you can do whatever you want with her
