Chapter 459 Mistaken


The look in the woman's eyes sent a shiver through Rose. It made her wonder if Yvonne had hoped for someone to save her that night. She felt a deep sense of guilt toward Yvonne, who thought only of her safety, even in danger. Rose couldn't help but think that if she had been quicker or had noticed something was amiss earlier, perhaps Yvonne wouldn't have suffered such a terrible fate.

As she closed the closet door, she stared into the woman's eyes and firmly stated, "I will save you!"

Rose vowed to save the woman, but first, she had to deal with Jack.

Using her phone's light, she searched the room for anything useful. Her eyes fell on the bedside table, where a collection of adult toys lay. Her expression hardened with disgust, for she knew Jack intended to use these on the woman. Rose picked up a pair of handcuffs and a heavy iron tool from the table before sitting on the bed. The light on her phone went out, and darkness enveloped the room once again.

She waited silently for Jack's arrival.

Not long after, the sound of the door opening echoed, and a sliver of light from the hallway illuminated the room before the closed door blocked it out again. Footsteps approached, steady and deliberate.

As Jack moved closer, his heart pounded with an uncharacteristic intensity. He realized that he was treating "Daisy" as a stand-in for Yvonne. Unlike the other women, she had been given spiked water under his orders. "How are you feeling?" Jack asked, peering into the shadows where Rose's silhouette sat.

Remembering the celebration party, he felt a complete sense of control and superiority. He took out a necklace and handed it to the figure at the head of the bed.

"Put this on," he said.

Rose frowned. She couldn't see what Jack was offering her, but her body stiffened when she reached out and touched it. It was a necklace. She took it without hesitation and gripped it tightly in her hand. "You're quite obedient today." Jack had completely regarded the woman before him as Yvonne's substitute. The corners of his lips curved up in satisfaction.
