Chapter 416 Strip
Chloe’s pupils contracted in sudden terror, her face filled with fear.
Vanya firmly grasped her shoulder, exerting an immense pressure that rendered her immobile with practiced ease.
“Don’t do anything stupid. Are you not worried about your friend?” she remarked, clapping her hands. At that
moment, Icarus was brought in, bound and gagged, with a gun pressed against the back of his head.
Chloe took a sharp breath, and cold sweat formed on her forehead. “What do you want?” she asked, her voice
trembling.
“Strip.” Vanya’s eyes gleamed mischievously. “I want you to take off all your clothes.”
She bit her lip, unable to hesitate in the face of life and death. With trembling hands, she slowly removed her coat
and shirt. However, when it came to her underwear, the overwhelming sense of shame overwhelmed her, freezing

Icarus’ heart ached as if being torn apart. He struggled and said, “Don’t force her. Take me instead!”
Impatience flashed through Vanya’s eyes. ‘What an idiot.’
“So, you’re willing to stand up for her? Strip then.”
Icarus was reluctant to do it, but the man with the gun moved in, and in a matter of moments, Icarus’ clothes were
stripped away, leaving him with only his underwear.
Like a mischievous child, Vanya pushed Chloe toward Icarus, causing the two of them to sit together in a suggestive
position. To any unsuspecting onlooker, it would seem as if they were not having a meal, but rather in a hotel room.
Vanya took out a camera and snapped a few pictures. Chloe’s body remained stiff as if she were a puppet whose
soul had been sucked out, allowing Vanya to manipulate her at will.
She consoled herself, reminding herself that Vanya was just taking pictures. As long as she did not cross the final
line, she should not fight back. After all, staying alive was the most important thing.
Icarus had a bitter feeling in his heart, silently vowing that once they were reunited in the future, he would treat
Chloe better.
Just as Vanya was admiring the photos, a sudden blare of sirens could be heard from downstairs.
Chloe’s spirits lifted, and she desperately ran to the window, calling for help at the top of her lungs.
“Help! Help us!”
Vanya cast a fleeting glance at her subordinate. After that, she feigned panic as she swiftly made her escape.
Chloe’s nerves were on edge and she collapsed on the ground, her trembling hand pressed against her stomach.
Her gaze fixated on Vanya’s retreating bare feet, noticing a black snake tattoo coiled around her ankle.
Icarus approached her, his eyes filled with anguish as he tried to console her. “Chloe, are you okay…?”
“Don’t come any closer. Hurry up and put on your clothes.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay.”
The two of them hastily dressed, but there was still no sign of the police arriving. Chloe leaned against the window,
her heart sinking as she noticed the police car had long since departed without stopping.
With determination in her voice, she declared, “Let’s go to the station right now.”
Since the masked woman had only recently fled, the police would surely be able to gather evidence by retrieving
surveillance footage from the surrounding area.
Icarus’ face flickered with guilt. “Don’t go. It wouldn’t be good for you if those photos were leaked.”
Chloe froze and she hesitated for a moment. After a while, she became even more determined to report to the
police as she said, “The police will keep it confidential. If they spread the photos around, it’ll be too late for regrets.”
Icarus had no choice. If he continued to refuse, it would raise suspicions. Reluctantly, he agreed.
At the station, Tyson listened to the general situation and his body trembled upon hearing about the tattoo on
Vanya’s ankle. “Are you sure about this?”
“Yes, it was a black snake,” Chloe replied with certainty.
Taking a deep drag from his cigarette, Tyson said in a serious manner, “This is an important clue.”
Chloe was stunned. “How is it important?”
