Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations-Chapter 1097: Stella, Run!
Trevor stopped at the staircase entrance, glanced at the shared location on his phone, and noted Justin Kingston would arrive in five minutes.
He couldn’t help but wonder, does this guy drive his car like it’s a plane? How could he be so fast?
As he walked up the stairs, he sent Justin two text messages—
Use the emergency exit at the back door, turn left on the seventh floor, it’s the first room.
This was what he personally heard John Jennings say in the trunk, although the voice wasn’t loud, it was clear enough.
He held his phone, swiftly sneaking upstairs, stepping several steps at a time, while keenly listening to the surroundings!
Meanwhile, Mia Lane had already walked out of the seventh-floor elevator.
From the moment she entered, she felt the building was eerily quiet, there was always a sense of foreboding.
Except for the two people at the entrance, she surprisingly hadn’t encountered anyone else, but the surroundings looked new and had been cleaned spotlessly.
In the video, John Jennings got into a car, Mia realized he was trying to escape, but she asked nothing.
Eager to rescue her father, she turned left to the first room, the door was open, but inside was empty.
Her heart tightened abruptly, "Are you messing with me?" She frowned at her phone, switched the camera to rear, "There’s no one here! Where’s my dad?!"
John Jennings’ car was speeding up, and through the video, the scenery outside the car window was retreating quickly.
He lit a cigarette and, in Mia’s intolerable waiting, leisurely spoke, "Eighth floor, turn right to the second room."
Mia glared at him, clenched her fist, and turned sharply towards the stairs!
"Why aren’t you taking the elevator?" John Jennings’ voice was icy, suspicious of her actions.
At that moment, at the sixth-floor stair corner, Trevor heard the voice from John Jennings’ video and immediately halted!
He even held his breath!
Carefully, he peeked his head halfway up.
Mia stopped, looked at the screen, and answered truthfully, "When it’s just one floor, I habitually take the stairs."
John Jennings, with perceptive insight, stared coldly at her for a few seconds, feeling she wasn’t lying.
Just as Mia intended to return to the elevator, John Jennings said, "Then take the stairs."
With his permission, Mia stepped upstairs.
What’s going on?
Not on the seventh floor?
Trevor was puzzled and cautiously followed.
At this moment, the Lamborghini had taken a detour, heading to the back of the building to avoid the front entrance.
Justin’s driving style was insane!
Gripping the steering wheel tightly, it was practically racing!
His profound eyes emitted a cold glare, wishing he could tear John Jennings apart!
Plus, with Trevor now accompanying Mia, it felt like he was insignificant, both jealous and angry! And worried about them!
The internal conflict of CEO Kingston was truly intense.
Eighth floor.
Silently trailing behind, Trevor watched Mia as she raised her phone and walked into the fire door.
Could John Jennings still be playing tricks?
He quickly edited two words and sent them to Justin—8th floor.
Nothing else mattered as much, take one step at a time.
This time, John Jennings wasn’t lying to her, just played a small trick earlier, wary of her using other means to disclose the specific location.
Regarding Justin, John Jennings was quite fearful, otherwise he wouldn’t have immediately fled to transfer.
The second room to the right had its door wide open.
"Dad!"
Mia instantly recognized the silhouette by the window, and was immensely ecstatic.
David Dalton turned his gaze upon hearing, saw his daughter arrive, and was immediately stopped, "Stella!!" He was astonished and immensely worried, "Go back! Go back now!!"
"I’ve come to take you home!" Mia’s tone was resolute, "I won’t leave alone!"
She held the Jade Pendant in one hand and raised the camera with the other, showing the Jade Pendant in front of the camera.
She said to John Jennings, "Who’s getting the Jade Pendant? This is what you wanted! I’ve brought it! I came alone!"
Without waiting for John Jennings’ reply, a man, with a cold face, reached out towards her.
Mia looked at John Jennings, aimed the camera at the man’s hand, "I hope you keep your word." Then placed the Jade Pendant in the man’s hand, appearing completely unconcerned.
Mia ended the video call, rushed to seize her father’s hand, "Dad, let’s go!"
Then, the man holding the Jade Pendant received a call, taking a glance at the caller ID and swiftly answered.
