Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 520
Chapter 520: Chapter 520
Rosemary pulled out her phone and hacked into the nearby security cameras, only to find that the footage from the past 15 minutes had been wiped clean. Joyce and Mavis must have been taken during that time.
"Rose, what do we do? Should we call the police?" Mya anxiously asked.
"What if they’re in real danger?"
The other classmates were also uneasy. After all, two people had suddenly disappeared. Could it have been those jerks from Summerfield College?
At this point, Rosemary noticed a flickering blue dot outside the window. Due to the lighting, the blue dot wasn’t very noticeable.
But she realized something and said to the others, "You guys go look around elsewhere."
The fewer people involved, the better.
Only by splitting them up could Rosemary investigate what the blue dot outside was.
"Maybe Mavis just forgot her purse after washing her hands."
"Or perhaps Joyce didn’t notice she dropped her keychain."
"Right, let’s go look elsewhere. Maybe their phones are dead, or there’s no signal where they are. Let’s not scare ourselves."
"Or maybe they went to the auditorium to watch the game. Anyway, let’s split up and look!"
They quickly decided on their routes and then split up to search.
Once they had left, Rosemary easily jumped up to the window ledge and took down the item stuck to the outside. It was a black, crescent-shaped bracelet.
"Wear this. Arrive at the top of North Star Mountain within half an hour. Otherwise, prepare to collect the bodies of your friends."
Rosemary’s eyes darkened. "What’s the achievement in capturing two defenseless girls?"
"If I hadn’t, how else would I have lured you in?" A cold, robotic male voice resonated from the bracelet.
"Those who meddle will pay the price. If you dare to call for help, for each person you bring along, I’ll cut off one of their fingers. I don’t mind reducing them to pieces."
Rosemary’s expression turned grim. She pulled out her phone, and as she was about to unlock the screen, a scream from Mavis could be heard from the other end of the bracelet.
"Stop!" Rosemary commanded sternly.
"I told you no calling for reinforcements. Did you take my words lightly?" the man’s voice carried an air of authority.
Only then did Rosemary notice that the bracelet must have a camera. She calmly lied, "I was just going to tell my classmates not to look for them anymore and to return to school. You heard them earlier, and they wanted to call the police because they couldn’t find anyone."
He clearly didn’t believe her. "Don’t try to play games with me. Wear the device and arrive at the specified location within half an hour."
Rosemary had no choice but to put on the bracelet.
At that moment, she heard a noise from the entrance of the restroom. She looked up to see a frightened Mya.
"Rose." Mya had gone to look for the others but suddenly remembered that Rosemary was still in the restroom. She came back to find Rosemary, only to overhear the conversation.
"Kill her," the man in the bracelet coldly ordered.
Mya became even more scared. What had Rose gotten herself into? It sounded terrifying.
"She’s just in time," Rosemary calmly responded. "Aren’t you worried I’ll leak information and call for help? Then let my classmate deliver the message."
Rosemary glanced at Mya. "Go tell the others not to look anymore. I’ll bring them back. Remember, don’t say anything you shouldn’t."
"Why should I trust her?" the man in the bracelet questioned coldly. "Who knows if she’ll call for reinforcements?"
"What kind of reinforcements could an average student like her possibly bring? Besides, she wouldn’t dare to do anything rash when my life is at stake."
Rosemary spoke as she embraced Mya. "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they all get back safely. Just go back to school and wait for us there."
Mya was visibly shaken, tears welling up in her eyes. The warm embrace brought her back to reality, and she nodded.
"I won’t say a word. Just be careful."
"Okay." Rosemary patted her shoulder. "Go on."
"If you dare to play any tricks, everyone around you, including you, will be in danger," the man in the bracelet warned again, his voice cold as ice.
"I won’t say anything. I always keep my word. I won’t call the cops, and I won’t tell my classmates. Just don’t harm my two classmates, and don’t hurt Rose," Mya insisted.
"You’re not in a position to bargain with me," the man in the bracelet retorted before reminding Rosemary, "You only have 24 minutes left."
"Just go back first." Rosemary waited for Mya to leave before exiting the restroom.
At this moment, Serena was in another restroom, changing into a new dress.
Seeing Rosemary, she quickly approached her.
Rosemary saw her coming and chose to take another path.
But Serena quickly caught up with her. "I need to talk to you."
"I don’t have time to listen."
Seeing Rosemary continue to walk away without even a glance at her, Serena couldn’t help but run in front of her, blocking her path.
"I need to ask you. Do you have two tickets to the concert?"
"What’s it to you?" Rosemary was afraid that if she said too much, the man on the other end of the black bracelet would hear.
If he found out about their relationship, it could jeopardize David and the others.
But Serena persisted. "Are you feeling guilty? So, you do have the tickets to the concert. I need them. Can you give them to me?"
A few question marks popped up in Rosemary’s mind. "Why should I?"
"Just because I always give you the benefit of the doubt. You can go to concerts anytime you want, but my friend is really looking forward to that one. Consider it a good deed and give them to me."
Rosemary was speechless. She walked away without giving Serena a second glance.
"Rosemary!" Serena called after her. "You already have so much! Can’t you even give me two concert tickets?"
Rosemary wanted to lash out at her but then remembered that their conversation would definitely be overheard by the man on the other end of the bracelet. So she ignored Serena and continued walking.
"Stop!" Serena was already upset from her encounter with Alma earlier, and seeing Rosemary’s attitude now only made her angrier.
Why was Rosemary, who had grown up as a low-class person in the Harris family, ignoring her like that?
She reached out to grab Rosemary’s hand.
As Serena approached, Rosemary suddenly smelled something foul. She moved away slightly and raised an eyebrow.
"Just crawl out of a dumpster?"
Serena was taken aback. Was the smell really that strong? She had already changed into a new dress! Was there still a smell?
"Really crawled out of a dumpster?"
Serena sniffed her own arm. There did seem to be a foul smell. It’s weird, she had just washed.
