Chapter 209 She was Insane However, her wound still hurt with every step that she took as sweat continued forming around her
forehead. Leila couldn’t help but blame everything on Lyla. She’s insane! It’s fine that she wants to bully
Camila, but dragging Silas into this? Lyla wasn’t seeking death by doing this. Instead, she’s dragging
the entire family to die along with her!
They got up to the third floor using the staircase. There was still a complete room here with a door and
windows. Silas pulled Camila backward before he brought his leg up and kicked the door. However,
they were dumbfounded when they entered the room, for it was already empty. However, there were
eaten lunch boxes as well as ropes used for bonding and some dried bloodstains; all of this pointed to
the fact that they were once here! Camila’s mind started buzzing before going completely blank. Then,
she started searching around the room frantically. Silas was stunned as he stood rooted to the ground.

come to rescue them?
Silas took his phone out and contacted Xavier. “Did you guys rescue the kid?” Xavier’ anxious voice
rang out from the other end of the call. “President Nolan, we haven’t found him yet. However, we’ve
already gotten their location. They’re now in a demolished building in the suburbs.” Silas felt his heart
sink. “We are here, but they’re already gone!” “What? You guys are there already? They’re gone?
Could it be that they’ve already relocated?” Silas was worried about that as well. “Let’s regroup here for
now!” Then, he took Leila’s phone and tried to contact Lyla again. However, this time, the phone was
turned off.
At the same time, Camila had already searched through the entire room. She looked like she was in a
panic. “No. It looks like they went down willingly, and there were many of them. There are many
footprints in the room and on the staircase-there should be at least six of them!” Silas immediately tried
to console Camila. “Don’t be anxious. Let’s head down and see if we can find any leads.” Camila
asked, “What about her phone? Did the call go through?” Silas shook his head. “She turned off her
phone!” Immediately, Camila dashed toward Leila, as if she had gone insane, as she grabbed onto
Leila’s collar and demanded, “Tell me! Where is Lyla? Where is she?!”
Leila’s collar tightened around her neck, and she was struggling to speak. “I really don’t know! I’ve
been with you guys the entire time!” Camila was panicking. This felt so much worse than not being able
to locate them. It was as if she had fallen into an endless hole, and, after spending so much effort to
climb up, she fell back into the hole again. The fear of the unknown was magnified in the dark night.
She was losing her rationality as she tried to think clearly. Could it be that Gael had contacted Lyla and
informed her to get away? If it weren’t so, how could it be so coincidental? – Camila took her phone
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand immediately contacted Gael before asking in a bone-chilling tone, “Did you contact Lyla and told
her to get away?” Gael’s voice rang from the phone. “No, I didn’t!” Camila’s eyes were reddish as tears
threatened to pour out. “If you hadn’t informed her, how did Lyla manage to escape? Gael… y-you’re
really cruel…” Camila’s last sentence was laced with so much pain and helplessness. Silas felt like
someone was slashing his heart as he watched the woman in front of him shake while holding the
phone. Immediately, he went over to her and pulled her into his embrace before he snatched her phone
over and hung up. “It could not have been your father. He wouldn’t dare to pull that off since Leila is in
our hands now. I’ve already warned him about it!”
Camila was horrified. “That insane woman wouldn’t really want to bring South to the depths of hell
along with her, would she?”
Silas patted Camila’s back lightly before he consoled her, “She won’t. No one wants to die. Don’t scare
yourself like that.”
