"This is not your fault…"
"Roland, they will set you free soon. I have some money on my credit card, and the password is Venus's birthday. Take it to cover your medical expenses…"
As Shelley spoke, the loudspeaker announced that the flight to T Nation could be boarded soon. That prompted Shelley to snatch the phone away and hang up.
"I'm not done yet…"
Slap!
Diane was still talking when Shelley slapped her across her face. The latter even scolded through gritted teeth, "You b_tch. Why are you talking so much? Are you trying to send a secret message?"
"No, I wasn't, " replied Diane while crying, "Roland is so injured that he can barely talk, so how am I supposed to send him a secret message? I was simply worried about him being further dragged into this mess."
Shelley thought about it and agreed, "Oh, you're right about that. You are willing to betray Carla for that man, so there is no way you'd let him risk his life again. Besides, he is so sick that he is on his deathbed. There is no way he can do anything even if you had sent him a message."
Diane had her head down and kept crying.
"Come on. Carry the kid and board the plane with me. Hurry!" commanded Shelley.
Diane stood up with Venus and obediently followed along.
Two foreign bodyguards were monitoring her, so she couldn't try anything at all. All she could do was keep her head down.
There was a long queue to the plane, but Shelley got first-class tickets and everyone could cut the line. Hence, everyone was in a separate lane and waiting for the officers to check their tickets.
Diane turned around to check things out. No one was going after them. That got her nervous. If things keep progressing this way, we will truly end up in T Nation…
At that same moment.
Carla led her people and rushed to the airport. They ran to the security's office as soon as they got out of the car. Jewel, on the other hand, was leading her team to look for Shelley and the others.
Rogan was calling the management of Wildefield International Airport and was trying to get them to share the security footage. That would help speed things up.
Unfortunately, they were in such a hurry that they didn't get a chance to call beforehand or had their identities verified.
Carla panicked. She stood at the departure hall and looked around to try to locate her daughter.
She was going insane. Venus was gone for some time, and Carla estimated that the kid might be boarding the plane with Shelley at that moment. It would be virtually impossible to find Venus if they didn't even know which country Venus was being taken to.
In her messed-up state, Carla ended up stopping every kid who was about Venus's age. She wanted to see if they were Venus, who was forced to wear a disguise.
To her dismay, none of them were her daughter.
"What the hell? Why are you pulling at my child?"
The parents were so angry that they pushed Carla away.
One parent even called the security guard and informed, "That crazy woman is going around tugging at kids. She frightened my daughter."
"I am looking for my daughter…" replied Carla.
"But this is my kid!"
"Please pardon her. She is probably just panicky because her kid is missing. You're a parent too, so please be understanding."
"What a Lolatic, " grumbled the angry mother before she left with her kid.
Carla was completely lost and didn't know what to do.
Jewel couldn't find anything, and Rogan's contact was telling her that they needed to talk to the supervisors and verify Rogan's identity.
Rogan got so pissed that she howled, "It's f_cking urgent. Every second counts, so can you freaking do as I ask then do the paperwork later?"
"Sorry, but we must follow protocol."
"You…"
"Carla, " called out someone with a familiar voice.
Carla turned around and saw Zayn there. He rushed over and pointed at the specialized lane. "We can enter from there. I've already arranged everything, " informed Zayn.
"Hurry, " ordered Carla to get her people to travel via the specialized lane.
"Have you learned which flight they're taking?" asked Carla as she ran anxiously.
"They're boarding the place to T Nation!"
