In Love, Never Say Never

Nora frowned slightly and asked the man, “Are you not a police officer?”

All of us tensed up at the question and the man scoffed. “We are indeed the police, but we are not the police who will send all of you home. Don’t you know that there are different types of police in Venria?”

Upon hearing his confession, Tabitha shrieked in fear, “Let us go!”

Meanwhile, Laurel was so terrified that she started to shake uncontrollably, and Tessa began mumbling philosophical quotes.

Nora turned pale as her hope of returning home vanished in an instant.

She was so upset that she could not even speak. Glaring at him with her blazing eyes, she looked as if she was going to murder the man.

I clasped my hands tightly and took a deep breath to compose myself. Then, I looked at the man with a steady gaze. “So, where are you guys bringing us?”

He turned towards me and smiled. “Oh, you must be Scarlett Stovall.”

I frowned. “Do you know me?”

He gave me a nonchalant shrug and replied, “Nope, I don’t know who you are, but I’ve heard of you. The police in Marsingfill are looking for you now. You seem to be worth a lot of money.”

The police wouldn’t be finding me without a reason. Perhaps Ashton has known that I’m in Venria, so he contacted the police there.

When he saw the baffled look on me, he continued, “Don’t worry, Ms. Stovall. I can’t guarantee the safety of the ladies here, but I can definitely guarantee yours. As long as you cooperate with us, you can go back to your country safe and sound after we receive the ransom.”

“You think you all can get the money?” I scoffed. “If the police are really searching for me, it’d be better if you send me to the police in Marsingfill and tell them that you’re the ones who rescue me. They might give you a large sum of money as a token of appreciation.”

His brows furrowed as he pondered the option. After a while, he narrowed his eyes and said, “I can consider bringing you there, but not them.”

“Why?” I raised my voice. “As long as you send us back, I can give you the money, as much as you want.”

He let out a scoff. “Ah, you’re indeed different, no wonder Mr. Murphy is interested in you. But he is only looking for you, Ms. Stovall. Him spending money on you doesn’t mean that he would fork out for the others. These women are too mediocre. I don’t think he would like any of them, so there’s no use in sending them to him.”

Offended by his words, the girls gritted their teeth and glared at him.

Nora, who had a pretty complexion with porcelain skin, got especially mad at him.

She shot him a disdainful look. “Did you not see yourself? You’re the ugliest one here. With your pig nose and small eyes, even plastic surgery can’t fix your looks.”

I laughed inwardly. This might be the best retaliation I’ve ever heard.

On the other hand, the man was so angry that he almost burst a blood vessel. He was about to slap Nora when the driver turned around and said something to him.

Then, the man dropped his hand.

Seeing his reaction, Nora rolled her eyes and continued to rebuke, “Stop acting like you’re some kind of big shot. You’re just a traitor who betrayed the country for money.”

“You…” The man had nothing to say to her accusation.

Glaring at Nora, he looked like he was going to tear her apart. But he eventually calmed down and sneered all of a sudden. “Look at you, you can be smug all you want. Don’t you know that all of you are going to meet your end soon? Once we reach Eastsummer, you would know what a living hell is.”

Nora wanted to talk back, but I stopped her and looked at the man. “Since you know who Mr. Murphy is, you should know that the Murphys had plenty of money to spare. Besides, if you send all of us back, not only the Murphys will give you money, even the Fullers, the Moores, and the Stovalls will give you a fortune. You just need to bring us back safely to the police, and you can live an easy life in K City. It’s very simple.”

He gaped and asked disbelievingly, “What did you say? Even the Fullers, the Moores, and the Stovalls will give me money, too?”

I nodded. Realizing that the girls were staring at me as well, I hesitated for a while before saying, “Yes. If you don’t believe me, give me your phone and let me call Ashton Fuller. I’ll turn on the speaker.”

He looked at me doubtfully. “How did you know him?”

I pursed my lips and told him the truth. “Not only do I know Ashton Fuller, but also John Stovall and Zachary Moore. I believe you know who they are.”

He paled instantly. After a long while, he finally responded, “Who are you? Why are you human trafficked to Venria to be a mule?”

I was stunned. I did not expect that they abducted us for smuggling purposes.

In love, never say never chapter 647

The others froze as well. After wandering around without a roof over our heads, we had known that we were human trafficked, but we never had the slightest idea on why we were brought here.

Now that we finally got the answer from him, we were shocked beyond words.

If we did not run away at that time, we would be mules by now. I could not help but feel relieved at the thought. I said to the man, “I can only tell you that I came here by accident. So, can you please let us go? I can give you whatever you want.”

It was an earnest request from me.

He hesitated for a while and went to discuss with the driver.

The driver glanced at me with a flicker of doubt in his eyes. He then said something to the man and went back to driving.

After they finished discussing, the man looked over to me and said, “We will consider sending you to Marsingfill but not the others.”

As soon as he spoke, the car came to a stop. Before we could say anything, several people tape our mouths shut and dragged us out of the car.

We were then brought into a beachfront villa. It was heavily guarded.

Initially, I thought that the five of us would be locked up together, but we were immediately separated after entering the villa.

I was brought into a clean room on the second floor.

Closing the door, the man motioned the driver just now to untie the rope on me. Then, he looked at me and said, “Ms. Stovall, rest for a few days here and we will ask people to come and send you to Marsingfill.”

It took me a second to understand what had said. “How about my friends?”

He gave me a shrug and frowned. “Ms. Stovall, you should stop thinking about them. Save yourself first. Their fate is not in your hand.”

At that, he turned and left.

For the next few days, I was locked in my room, and a middle-aged woman would come and bring me food every day. To my dismay, I did not get any information from her due to the language barrier.

My room had a balcony. Standing on the balcony, I could see the vast ocean nearby and the scenery outside the villa.

However, every night in the wee hours, I could hear ear-splitting screams rang out in the villa as the waves rolled and crashed against the rocks. I was not sure if it was just my illusion.

And whenever I woke up to check on those voices, they would vanish again.
