A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 16

“See it for yourself!” Ian threw his phone at Sage.

She picked it up to see some surveillance footage. It looked like it had been taken in a basement parking lot. Two men in masks and caps were sneakily peering around a corner.

Soon, Ivy arrived at the parking lot. She’d just unlocked the car when the two men charged at her. One of them clamped a hand over her mouth and-” subdued her while the other opened the door. They stuffed her into the back seat before speeding off.

“Where was Ms. Shekdotter taken to? Have you found her yet?”

Ian suppressed his rage when he saw how serious Sage looked. He said, The security guards on duty noticed that something was wrong and stopped the two men after they forced her into the car.”

Sage chuckled. “How interesting. Those two men went all the way there to abduct her, yet chose to wait somewhere where the surveillance cameras would catch them. That would only make it all the more easier for people to notice them, right?”

“What’s with that attitude of yours?” Ian was angry now. “When the

security guards saved Ivy from the car, her mouth had been taped shut, and her limbs were bound. If not for the security guards noticing in time, who knows what could’ve happened?”

Sure enough, there were two men in the photos. They both wore caps, and their figures were similar to the men captured in the surveillance footage. They’d appeared at the store at the same time that she was.

Sage had only gone in there to get something to eat because she’d skipped breakfast. She hadn’t paid attention to her surroundings at all. She never would’ve expected Ivy to use this against her and frame her with a so–called abduction.
