    Scarlett drove with a tense expression on her icy face.

    Her seemingly calm eyes hid an uncontroble anger.

    In the back seat, Tiana was tied up, looking every bit like a “kidnap” victim. No matter how much she struggled, she

    couldn’t move.

    However, Scarlett had left her mouth free, so Tiana was able to vent her frustration the entire drive.

    b“/bScarlett, where are you taking me?”

    “Say something! Where are you taking me?”

    “Do you realize this is kidnapping?”

    “Let me go, Scarlett! What are you trying to do?”

    From the start, Tiana’s emotions gradually unraveled.

    b“/bScarlett, I’m telling you, you took me from the bar. If anything happens to me, you won’t get away with it!”

    “Scarlett, are you even listening to me?”

    “Arghhh!”

    No matter what Tiana yelled from the back, Scarlett kept driving, unfazed, like a robot.

    Finally, in a fit of desperation, Tiana shouted, “Scarlett, you’re insane, a total lunatic! I’m telling you, I’ll call the cops on

    you!”

    Speaking of which, Scarlett nced up, catching a glimpse of Tiana in the rearview mirror.

    Tiana noticed this subtle gesture, thinking she had made an impact, and continued, “If you let me go now, I might

    consider not pressing charges. We can pretend nothing happened!”

    Tiana thought she was negotiating with Scarlett by offering a “deal.”

    However, Scarlett merely curled her lips into a cold smile and continued to elerate.

    Seeing Scarlett’s silence, Tiana frowned, “Scarlett, what do you mean?”

    “Scarlett, say something, damn it!”

    Tiana was so desperate she started swearing, but Scarlett remained calm andposed, driving steadily without a word.

    Watching Tiana’s emotions unravel from the start to now was precisely why Scarlett kept quiet.

    She wanted to see her lose it, to see her go mad.

    After all, people are most terrified and tormented when facing the unknown.

    Just then, Scarlett’s phone rang.

    Seeing it was Hugo calling, she hesitated for a moment.

    But as the phone kept ringing, she finally answered and put it on speaker.

    “Scarlett, where are you?” Hugo asked directly.

    “In the car!”

    “I know you’re in the car. Where are you taking her?b” /b

    Scarlett remained silent.

    Hugo’s voice grew more urgent, “Scarlett, bjust /btell me where you are. I’lle over right now. No matter what happens,

    we’ll face bit /btogether!”

    Just as Scarlett finished speaking and was about to hang up, Tiana seized the moment and shouted into the phone,

    “Hugo, help me! Scarlett’s gone crazy, I don’t know what she’s going to do to me. Please, Hugob, /bsave me…”

    Listening to Tiana’s desperate cries for help, Scarlett didn’t rush to hang up, giving her a few seconds to speak.

    “If anything happens to me, it’s Scarlett’s doing!” Tiana continued.

    “Are you done?” Scarlett asked calmly.

    Tiana shot her a nce and kept yelling, “This woman is heartless. She’s definitely nning something against me. Hugo,

    you need to see her true colors. Even if I die, it’ll be worth it!”

    Hugo heard Tiana’s words loud and clear.

    “Where are you guys right now?” he asked.

    Hearing a response, Tiana nced out the window, “I… I’m not sure where we are. It looks like…”

    Before she could finish, Scarlett abruptly ended the call.

    Tiana was stunned, feeling as if herst shred of hope had been snuffed out. She red at Scarlett and couldn’t help but

    shout, “Scarlett, what the heck are you trying to do? I’m telling you, if I die, you won’t get away with it!”

    “I’ll haunt you even as a ghost!”

    Scarlett lifted her gaze, looking at the nearly hysterical Tiana in the back. “You want to be a ghostb?/b”

    This was the first thing Scarlett had said to her since getting in the car, leaving Tiana momentarily speechless and

    confused.

    “What do you meanb?/bb” /bTiana asked.

    Scarlett fell silent again.

    Tiana erupted into another round of curses.

    The car stopped by the riverbank.

    Scarlett looked out at the endless deep blue, opened the car door, and stepped out.

    Seeing this, Tiana immediately asked, “Where are you going?”

    Scarlett nced at her but didn’t respond.

    Once out of the car, Scarlett walked to the edge, scanning the area. Her eyes lit up when she spotted a yacht floating not

    far from the riverbank.

    At this moment, Scarlett walked away, leaving Tiana sitting in the car, watching her every move.

    Tiana had no idea what Scarlett was nning, and she feltpletely in the dark.

    As she watched, Scarlett’s figure disappeared from her line of sight.

    Without being able to see Scarlett, Tiana’s panic grew. She knew she had to find a way to escape.

    She started to struggle against the ropes binding her, but no matter how hard she tried, they didn’t budge, showing bno /b

    sign of loosening.
