at your place first? Then I’ll give my family a call to tell them I’m safe.”“Sure. I’ll take you to my home right away. Those people will want to dry their clothes, too.”Just like that, Winnie followed the lady owner of the boat back home.However, she didn’t plan to leave immediately.That was because she also wanted to take a look at the mentally challenged woman who seemed to have been kidnapped and sold to the island. While she was no different compared to an average person at that moment, the fever she had when she was a kid really did deal tremendous damage to her intelligence.It was thanks to her persistent training and development afterward that she became who she was today.Without the luck she had back then, she would still be a mentally challenged person.Perhaps she would’ve ended up being sold somewhere remote as a sex toy used by social outcasts, like the mentally challenged woman on the island.Winnie pitied the disabled woman, so she was going to stay on the island and help her out if that woman really existed.After borrowing the lady owner’s phone to log in to her WhatsApp, she transferred money to the woman as a token of gratitude.Upon changing into the lady owner’s clothing, she asked for the Briggs family’s address before leaving silently.The Briggs family seemed to have been the family that bought the mentally disabled woman as a wife.Concurrently, Xavier was treating his leg injury.After what happened last night, his reconnected leg bones were dislocated again. So, taking care of that required quite a lot of time.When that was done, he was ready to head to the Briggs residence.

However, no matter what time it is, the ship will usually wait until after ten before leaving.”“We got more than three hours left, then. Let’s head to the Briggs residence first.”Just as he was setting off, Winnie was already in trouble.Half an hour ago, when she tried to sneak into the Briggs residence’s backyard, she came across two suspicious men.She had no idea what those men were doing there, and she definitely didn’t want to alert the Briggs family, so she hid in a dark corner silently.At first, she thought they were just petty thieves. However, after they went in, they started beating people up.Not only that, they dragged a woman out of the building after a while.At first, the woman tried shouting. However, her mouth was soon covered by the men before she was dragged out of the backyard by them clumsily.Winnie had no idea what had happened to the person who was knocked out in the building. No sounds were heard from the inside. Even after the woman was dragged away, no one came out to chase after her.For a moment, Winnie was confused about what was going on. However, she had a feeling the woman who was kidnapped was
