Shane chuckled and pressed her deeper into his arms. "Lottie, it's time to pay me back my interest."

"What is Shane talking about?" Charlotte thought.

Before Charlotte could retort, Shane pressed her down. She could tell that he was being serious this time. She could only mumble some last words of resistance. "Even if you want to, we... we should also take a shower first, right? I feel like I'm starting to stink. I've been in the car for the whole day."

Shane didn't answer. He picked her up and walked to the bathroom.

That night.

Kendall was a little bored alone in the room. Rick had gone with Avery to ask Olive about the childtrafficking matter. She had nothing to do, so she walked around. When she arrived at the buffet restaurant, she saw a very familiar person. She got goosebumps all over her body.

She immediately found a place to hide. When she saw more and more people wearing black uniforms around her, she took out her phone and

sent a message to Rick.

"At this point, we can be sure that the kidnapper is a human trafficker, so it's not surprising that he killed the others." After Rick spoke, he reached out and touched Olive's head. "Don't feel bad. You are also a victim."

"But my parents loved me, right? That's why they're giving me to you guys?" Olive retorted. But she quickly dismissed her own thoughts. "No, that's not right. If they give me to you, won't they be afraid I'll tell you everything? I don't think that's right."

"It's possible that they thought you wouldn't take the initiative to mention any strange things to us once they handed you over. But if they sell you, it's very likely that you'll notice it. After all, you're so smart," Avery said.

"Oh," Olive said. She did not think that she was smart at all. It was just that she had been through a lot of difficulties, which was why she always overthought things out of habit.

Rick was about to ask Olive to think about it carefully when the phone's screen lit up. He picked it up and frowned. "You guys talk. I need to take this call."

"What's wrong?" Avery asked, "I haven't seen you for a long time. It's not easy to get to talk to you, how can you just leave like this?" "Something happened to Kendall. She saw Christopher. Call Shane." Avery was stunned for a while. Then, he nodded seriously. "Hurry up and find her. I'll call Charlotte now. By the way, when you are on the way, you should call Peter and ask him to send your location to our phones."

"Okay. If you don't hear from me in half an hour, call the police."

"Alright."
