Chapter 144 A Long-Lost Friend

• Not long after Alan entered the room, he shifted his eyes to Yvonne, who was standing on the outside. “It’s safe in here, Young Mistress Kingston.” Therefore, Yvonne entered the room and was instantly shocked by the first thing she saw. While there was no sign of any other armed bandit in the room, she saw a few ladies who were bound and gagged. The sight of that soon reminded Yvonne of what the few men were saying earlier. Now, I know what they’re up to. These men are human traffickers whose targets are women; no wonder they wanted to sell me for a good price. After that, she quickly unbound the victims as they only cried sympathetically. Then, she asked, “Are there others like you?”
• One of the girls, who seemed barely in her twenties, cried, “My classmates and I got kidnapped together. I-I think she should also be here too…” Upon hearing that, Yvonne started looking around for the other victims with Alan’s help. Soon, they found another two more victims in the next room who looked even prettier than the first girl they found. In that instant, Yvonne understood that the victims were separately sold according to their looks. Despite her disgust, she moved onto the next room to locate the rest of the victims. Not long after, they had completed their search in all the rooms except the last one.
• Alan led the way and entered the room while Yvonne followed right behind him. Like the rest of the rooms, there was no sign of any human trafficker, but they saw a lady who had been tied up. When Yvonne looked closer, she was stunned, whereupon she quickly approached the victim to unbind her and remove the gag from her mouth. As the lady’s face was fully revealed, Yvonne’s pulse was beating like crazy. Meanwhile, the victim was also as surprised as she was, asking with a trembling voice, “A-Are you Yvonne?”
