Gwyneth hurriedly walked up to that woman.Her eyebrows furrowed as she asked about her wounds, "Miss, are you hurt?"As she drew nearer, she could see the numerous wounds scattered across her body. These might not have been self-inflicted injuries. Someone was hurting her.The woman was agitated. She yelled repeatedly while appearing to be dodging something, "I…It hurts! It hurts!" Aubrey also squatted down to inquire anxiously, "Where does it hurt? Did you get hit somewhere?"Gwyneth extended her hand to help her stand up.The crazy woman muttered some nonsense. Then, she pushed the two aside and ran away.Aubrey was about to fall to the ground, but Gwyneth steadied herself and caught her.Aubrey rubbed her arm and watched the woman slowly disappear. She grumbled, "What’s wrong with that crazy woman? She wouldn't tell us where it hurts."Gwyneth's gaze turned solemn, and it fixed on the woman's back."This hotel has too many weird things happening," Aubrey said to Gwyneth.
Aubrey was too angry to speak at this point.She struggled to gather her composure and said indignantly, "Let's go! We have to save her. We can't stand by and let her be beaten to death! She probably received those wounds to her body at this cabin. It's a vile crime, no matter how I look at it."She became more anxious as she gave it more thought.She suspected that a bad guy might have taken control of the woman.Aubrey got to her feet and was ready to rush out.Gwyneth quickly grabbed her arms to prevent her from acting rashly. She frowned and said softly, "Don't act hastily!""When that woman is in such a state, we can't just stand by and do nothing," Aubrey argued.Gwyneth drew Aubrey behind a tree and advised, "We can't act rashly."She took a quick look at the cabin before she met Aubrey's eyes."If we act hastily now, we might scare the culprit away and put that woman in greater danger. We don't know who is inside. We can't be sure if we can stop that man or save that w
Gwyneth quickly shifted her attention.There were so many torture tools in the cabin, indicating the horrifying things that happened regularly here.She frowned as she thought of the woman who had scars all over her body and was in a fancy dress."Where is she? Why isn't she here?"Aubrey scanned the room but saw no one. She began to worry about that woman and wondered if the abuser had taken her away.Gwyneth was aware of her feelings. She asked softly, "Is anyone here?"Nobody replied to her question.She heard some noise coming from the bed not far away. She immediately fixed her gaze on the space under the bed.Victims frequently believed that hiding under the bed was the most secure place to hide from their abuser.Gwyneth could picture the woman shaking under the bed.She approached the bed slowly. She was able to see her dress from underneath, and sure enough, the material was the same as what she had seen in the garden.Gwyneth glanced at Aubrey and hinted that the w
Gwyneth approached the woman to get more information from her, but Aubrey panicked and dragged her out of the cabin."We need to leave now and get someone to help us," Aubrey said.Gwyneth creased her brow. She wanted to stay longer but was powerless to go against Aubrey, who was urging her to leave the cabin."Why are you so anxious? I want to pry out more information from her," Gwyneth grumbled as she walked."She's in such bad shape that asking her is pointless. I think we should find someone to help her. "Aubrey said, looking up at the night sky, "I'm worried that that man would show up and hurt us."Gwyneth pursed her lips and she thought to herself, 'She has a point. I'm not afraid of that guy, but I can't drag Aubrey down with me.'The two hurriedly walked away.A figure appeared in front of them out of nowhere when they were about to leave the garden. Aubrey jumped in fright.Gwyneth drew Audrey to her back to protect her because she was on high alert as she observed
"The hotel is completely enclosed. I doubt she could travel very far. Relax, perhaps she just ran away again," Gwyneth reassured her.Even though Aubrey was a little upset, she still nodded in agreement.She explained to Herman, "She was here earlier, but no one is here now. So you didn't see anyone when we asked you here."It did not bother Herman. He said, "If everything is precisely as you describe, I'll have my staff keep an eye on things. Still, we need to look into the reason she is here."Aubrey nodded, prior to departing with Gwyneth.Gwyneth said in a low voice as she passed Herman, "Mr. Newman, that woman is real. I think you need to put in some effort when managing your hotel.""Of course, but nothing is confirmed at this point. We need to back up our claims with evidence," Herman replied with a smile.Gwyneth remained silent as she walked out of the cabin.Herman shut the door after casting a quick glance at the well-organized cabin.He received a call from Hayden
Liam scowled when he sensed there was a problem.Herman sincerely stated, "Since both Luther Corporation and AMC Group's proposals were on par, I've chosen to keep them both."The crowd started to mutter, wondering how the winner would be determined.Subconsciously, Liam glanced at Gwyneth.She did, however, pay close attention to Herman's movements.In anticipation of Herman's response, Liam clenched his hands.Herman suggested, "I would like to propose that these two companies compete in a final round."Gwyneth gave a small chuckle. Things were complicated, as one might expect.Following the end of the event, everyone left in an orderly manner."I have something to say to you," Liam called out to Gwyneth.He received a chilly glance from Gwyneth.Liam said while furrowing his brows, "Herman is up to something. He suggested the final round to intensify our conflict and turn us against each other."Gwyneth found it amusing. She retorted, "Our abilities speak for us in the b
Due to her withdrawal from the project, Gwyneth did not participate in the final round of bidding.When Aubrey learned of this, she knocked on her door and asked bewilderedly, "Why did you withdraw from the bidding?""I've always done things by listening to my heart. I quit because I think your advice made sense," Gwyneth replied calmly as she sipped coffee on the couch."I thought you were really into this project, but you just handed it over to someone else," Aubrey said, shaking her head a little."Do you want me to win this project?" Gwyneth chuckled and rebutted.Aubrey shook her head after giving it some thought. She pretended to be shivering and answered, "There are too many strange things happening in this hotel. I think we should forget it."Gwyneth cracked up when she saw how terrified she seemed."Don't you get bored from staying in your room all day?" Aubrey abruptly asked rhetorically.Gwyneth looked at the nice weather outside. She figured she did not have much
The group held their breath and listened attentively to the sounds in the parking garage.Suddenly, they heard a noise.Aubrey exclaimed, "It's coming from there!"Gwyneth abruptly turned in the direction of the noise. The noise appeared to originate from a door on the floor."The sounds are coming from underground. I think she's down there." Gwyneth calmly analyzed.Before Aubrey could respond, Gwyneth had already made her way down to the basement.Henry guarded Aubrey by staying close by. He also caught up with Gwyneth.The sounds of someone struggling became audible as Gwyneth unlocked the basement door."Over there!" Gwyneth yelled and hurried downstairs.The group went into the dark basement.Henry used his phone to light up a small area.Aubrey's eyes widened in surprise.They saw a woman in front of them. Her mouth was taped, and her hands and feet were bound.A glint of excitement and hope appeared in her eyes as soon as she saw the group. She struggled violently
