Chapter 573

Briony pulled out her phone and booked a flight.

Once her ticket was confirmed, she made two quick calls to tie up some loose ends at work.

When she finally looked up again, she realized the driver had taken a wrong turn.

"Excuse me, are you sure this is the right way?" she asked.

The driver didn't respond.

A jolt of unease shot through her. Briony immediately opened her ride-hailing app.

The map made it clear-they were headed in the opposite direction from the airport.

She reached for her phone to call the police, but suddenly a harsh, chemical odor filled the car.

Her vision blurred, and darkness claimed her almost instantly.

The driver glanced at her unconscious form in the back seat, then dialed a number. "She's out. I'll bring her over now."

Briony's eyes snapped open to find Ferdinand's anxious face hovering above her.

She jerked upright and scanned the unfamiliar room.
