The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 1235

Before Kari could even get a word out, Ronald yanked her arm, whispering urgently, "Shh, don't make a peep. Follow me!" Kari snapped her mouth shut and followed Ronald as they ran for it, the sound of footsteps thundering behind them. Suddenly, Kari had an idea. Remembering a secret spot she'd found not too long ago, she urged, "Ron, this way!" They weaved through alleys until they reached a makeshift doggie door, beyond which was a wall.

"Over here," Kari gestured towards the back.

Despite her sweet look, Kari was a master at climbing. Both she and Ronald scaled the wall in no time, landing on the other side, which opened up to a bustling street. They kept their guard up, crossing the busy street to reach an abandoned factory once known as one of the biggest in the area but had fallen into disrepair over the years. "Kari, what is this place?"

"I stumbled upon it a while back," Kari said with a grin. "It's perfectly secluded yet central. We'll be safe here."

Ronald breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did those guys find your place?"

"My mom's gone."

Ronald looked worried. Despite Calista's shortcomings, she was his mother. The thought of something bad happening to her made him uneasy.

Kari gasped, "Ron, I've heard those guys mean trouble. You don't think your mom-"

She was cut off by a massive explosion outside the factory!
