Chapter 229 Questions

Annabelle nodded.

Layla was the one who had asked her out for dinner that night, and it was regarding the matter between Christopher and Yuliana. Although Layla did not say it, Annabelle could discern what it was about, and the former’s implication was for Annabelle to no longer disrupt Christopher’s and Yuliana’s lives.

Halfway through the meal, Layla’s phone rang. Layla called out, “Joyce.” Joyce was the person who had called.

Without saying a word, Layla’s expression changed. Silence befell the private room, and although Layla did not turn on the speakerphone, she still vaguely heard something.

Soon after, Layla left the private room and never returned.

Annabelle waited for a while, and when she went out, she heard Layla talking on the phone to Christopher.

Layla said, “I’m sorry, Annabelle. I don’t think I can continue eating dinner with you tonight. So, why don’t you

head home?”

Annabelle asked, “What about you?”

Layla replied, “The police said Yuliana must have been taken to Newcove, and I plan to go there. I’ll also be able to head there immediately if there is any news about Yuliana.”

Annabelle paused briefly and said, “Layla, I’ll go with you. I won’t feel at ease if you’re going alone.”

Layla hesitated for a moment before she nodded in agreement.

After some time had passed, Yuliana finally regained consciousness.

However, Yuliana was still dazed. She lacked consciousness and could not muster any strength whatsoever. Yuliana could barely open her eyes as her eyelids felt heavy, but she knew that she was in a car, which was moving the whole time.

A few minutes later, the sense of paralysis gradually faded, and Yuliana had somewhat regained consciousness. Then, she realized that her eyes had been blindfolded, and her arms and feet had been tied
