Chapter 717 Take You Home

Lysander sat in the chair, gripping the armrests on either side of her. After she escaped the confines of the ropes, this was the only thing she could hold onto.

If the people outside were there for her, she would immediately find a way to make a commotion.

It was clear that the ten million was out of reach. Upon realizing this, the thugs were likely to revert back to Tiffany’s side, putting her in danger once again.

When he heard someone was approaching, the leader’s first instinct was to flee. However, the thought of the money he hadn’t yet secured kept him from panicking entirely. Composing himself, he turned to his subordinates and instructed, “Take this woman along!”

As soon as he said that, Lysander stood up, picked up the chair, and hurled it toward him.

The leader hadn’t expected that this cooperative hostage would suddenly fight back. He was caught off guard and knocked to the ground on the spot.

Lysander turned and ran, heading straight for the staircase furthest from the thugs.

After the thug responsible for keeping watch had left, there was no one left upstairs.

From her observations, she noticed that there was another staircase on the second floor leading outside.

The thugs were completely taken aback by this sudden turn of events. Some of them scrambled to help their leader, while others, a bit more astute, knew that if Lysander managed to escape, none of them would get away. They quickly chased after her.

In the midst of the chaos, the warehouse door was abruptly kicked open from the outside.

Upon discovering that the lock hanging on the door was not tightly fastened, merely loosely latched, Josiah knew he was on the right track. When he heard the chaotic noise emanating from within, he couldn’t even be bothered to wait for the time it would take to pick the lock and open the door. He simply barged in with brute force.

In an instant, the sunlight from outside illuminated the dimly lit warehouse.

Having already escaped to the second floor, Lysander merely lowered her head and unexpectedly came face to face with Josiah. The sudden encounter caused both their hearts to tighten, as they hadn’t anticipated meeting in such a tense moment.
