After making up her mind, Gwendolyn, with her fists clenched, turned and ran toward the tightly shut door on the right while Craig blanked out briefly.
Even Nico was taken aback and could not register what was happening.
“Gwendolyn!”
Craig was the first to react. He immediately raised his gun again and cocked it.
He was so anxious his eyes turned bloodshot as he threatened to pull the trigger at Gwendolyn.
At that critical juncture, a hand grabbed his wrist with so much strength that his aim went astray.
He whipped his head around, only to find that it was Cedrick. The latter was glaring at him with a grim- looking face.
“Mr. Jenson…”
“How dare you aimed the gun at my wife! Are you sick of being the deputy director?”“
As those words fell, the tremendously intimidating Cedrick snatched the gun from Craig’s grip and threw it on the ground.
The overbearing air Craig was exuding earlier faded with Cedrick’s presence.
Seeing Cedrick’s timely appearance, Gwendolyn swiftly turned the door handle, pushed open the door, and dashed into the pitch-black room.
She stumbled her way to turn on the lights amidst the darkness. Astonishment overwhelmed her as soon as she saw the situation inside the room.
Following behind, Nico was also stunned by the sight inside while he stood by the door.
There was no furniture in the room, not even a bed.
A woman with messy black hair lay on her side against the wall.
A weighty iron collar hung around her neck, and metal chains secured around her wrists and ankles stretched all the way to the wall.
