Laura was taken aback when she realized they were boarding the helicopter to visit Robert.
After twenty minutes of flying, the helicopter landed in a remote location.
Once they got off the helicopter, Laura followed Marco, who was already walking ahead of her, as they approached a black SUV a few meters away.
They headed to the location using a car, and after ten minutes, they arrived at a rusty warehouse that looked like it had not been used for a long time.
Laura was very nervous following Marco inside the rusty warehouse. The vast building was empty, and a few robust men stood in the corner, waiting for them.
Just before Laura wanted to ask, her eyes fell on a familiar figure she met almost every day. The man’s body was stocky, just like Robert, but his face looked unrecognizable and was covered in wounds.
Laura was puzzled.
"Robert!?" She muttered as she continued to approach the man who was sitting on a chair with his body tied to a rope. The man’s eyes looked red, staring back at her.
Her step stopped a few meters from the man and then looked at Marco, who was standing right before her.
"Babe, is this man really my manager?" she asked in a low voice.
Marco nods while smiling at her. And he gestured for one of his people to approach them.
"L-Laura..." A barely audible sound escaped Robert’s lips as soon as he saw Laura. He was happy to see her but frightened at the same time. If Laura and her fiance knew what he did, they might kill him.
Robert sighs silently while trying to endure all the pain that still lingers in his body. His condition now seemed awfully miserable.
Laura didn’t answer Robert immediately but looked at Marco’s people, the long-haired man standing before them. She looked at the man, "You guys hit him?"
The long-haired man shook his head, "No, ma’am. We found him in this condition..."
She didn’t say anything else to the man with long hair but turned her gaze again to Robert. Her hand clenched into a tight fist as she asked, "Who did this to you?"
Robert bitterly smiled, looking at the confusion and anger in Laura’s eyes, enough to make him decide to be honest with her. He was too exhausted now. Either Laura and her fiance would let him live or kill him later; he didn’t care anymore.
"Laura, my suggestion to you..." Robert’s eyes stare into her eyes. "You better run away. You are so daring to offend someone... you should not. If you didn’t run, you would definitely end up just like me. They will capture you and perhaps throw you in jail..."
Instantly, Laura felt her blood running cold, hearing Robert’s warning. Her hands clenched even more tightly.
"Offended who?" She snapped. "What are you trying to say?"
"Tristan Sinclair!"
Laura was utterly shocked to hear that name. Suddenly, countless questions now appeared in her mind: Why does Tristan torture her manager? What’s his motive? Why is Robert saying Tristan will capture her, too? What is going on outside?
She remembered giving up on Tristan Sinclair and made a promise to Tristan’s mother that she would never appear before them again.
