Ashley pulled Sonya up the iron staircase on the side of the restaurant. Once they reached the second floor, Ashley ignored Sonya and instead focused on eavesdropping at the staircase entrance.
Tsk. now she started crying.” She not only listened herself, but also relayed it to Sonya in real time.
Sonya shook her head and smiled, then she went to the living room and intended to pour herself a glass of water to drink.
There was a water dispenser next to a glass cabinet, which contained many photos. She glanced at them and stopped at the one in the front. The woman in the photo had long hair blown by the sea breeze, and it was her. She was sitting on the same stone he had once sat on, looking at the sunset in the distance at that beach in San Francisco.
In the photo, she was deep in thought, and in fact, she was indeed wondering where Henry was and what he was thinking when he sat here facing the sea.
But she waited for a long time by the seaside, and he never showed up.
She had always thought that he had left there, but it turned out that he was still there, just hiding from her. He had also taken this photo, developed it, and placed it here.
“Oh my, she’s still smashing things! Who spoils her with such a bad temper?” Ashley broadcasted
Sonya poured herself a glass of water, sat on the sofa, and drank it sip by sip.
again.
“If my brother were still here, how dare he bully me like this! And you, have you forgotten how my brother instructed you to take care of me? But what about you, you actually help’outsiders instead of helping me!”
Sonya heard Zoey’s loud noise even in the small living room.
“We have been trying our best to take care of you, Henry as well, but, but look
at what you have done…”
“I was young at that time and indeed made a mistake, but why couldn’t he forgive me? And all of you, how could you also think that I couldn’t be forgiven!”
“Zoey, some things can be forgiven, and some things cannot!”
“I don’t care, anyway I came back, he had to love me, marry me, and all of you must stand by me!”
“Who gave her the audacity to show her face?” Ashley sneered.
After a while of rumbling and noise, it finally became quiet. Then Jasmine came upstairs, she touched her forehead and let out a heavy sigh.
“Henry didn’t tell her about his business trip, and she came to find Henry.”
“She couldn’t call him?” Ashley raised an eyebrow.
“Henry blocked her.”
Ashley clicked her tongue and said, “Henry’s attitude is SO obvious, and yet she still wants to pester him?”
“That’s called a karmic debt. If she had died back then… Ah, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s pack up and leave.”
Ashley went downstairs to find Jay, and Jasmine walked over and asked Sonya how she had been doing lately.
“The clinic opened, and it has been quite busy lately,” Sonya said as she stood up.

She hadn’t come for a long time, and there was no other reason, just that she wanted to fade out from Henry’s circle. But Simon and Jasmine were really nice to her, so she was quite reluctant.
Before going downstairs, Sonya took another look at her own photo.
“Can you give me this photo?” Sonya asked.

Jasmine glanced at it and said with a smile, “It’s your photo, of course you can take it.”
Jasmine tidied up the room, while Sonya took out a photo frame from the cabinet, glanced at it, and then put it into her own bag.
Because Jay’s house was empty, and they were going to stay there for two or three days, they needed to bring a lot of things. Simon packed two vans, and he and Jay took the first one and left, letting Jasmine and the others ride in the second
Sonya said she could drive her own car, with Jasmine and Ashley, but Jasmine said she didn’t feel comfortable putting things in the van. In that case, Sonya had no choice but to ride in the van with Jasmine and Ashley.
one.
The car drove onto the highway, and Jasmine and Ashley fell asleep drowsily. Sonya couldn’t sleep, so she closed her eyes to rest.
The car stopped at this moment, and she opened her eyes to see that they had actually exited the highway.

But that’s not right, Jasmine said that she would drive on the highway overnight and only exit in the morning tomorrow.
*Master, did you take the wrong way?”
“That’s right, if you exit the highway here, take a mountain road for a while, and then get back on the highway, you can save a lot of time.”
Is it?
Sonya glanced at the driver, who was wearing a duckbill cap with the brim pressed down low, making it impossible to see his face.
“Mr. Ella, they also took this road, so you can rest assured.”
The Mr. Ella he mentioned should be Jay.
Sonya still felt uneasy, so she quietly took out her phone and checked the map. It was clear that continuing on the same highway would lead directly to Jay’s hometown, and there was no need to change highways at all.
And the road we are currently taking leads to the mountains, getting more and more remote as we go, there is no longer a highway.

This jolt woke up both Jasmine and Ashley.
Jasmine exclaimed, “The highway was bumpy too?”
“He got off the highway,” Sonya whispered.
“Get off the highway? No, that’s not right. You can’t get off the highway, you…”
Jasmine hadn’t finished speaking when the car suddenly stopped.
The driver took off his hat, revealing his bald head. He then pulled out an iron rod from below and turned around. Seeing Sonya holding a cellphone to call the police, he reached out and snatched it away.
“Hey, who, who are you?” Jasmine exclaimed in fear.
“Shut up!”
The bald driver stuck a stick in front of Jasmine.
“Don’t play this game with me. I have also seen the world, you…”
Seeing the driver raise the iron rod in his hand, Sonya quickly protected Jasmine, preventing her from continuing to speak. Ashley was just dozing off, but now she is awake.
She glanced at Sonya and immediately took out her phone to call the police, but as soon as she came out, the driver snatched it threatened her not to move with an iron rod.

Ashley shivered and leaned towards Jasmine, “I think we just encountered a robber.”
Jasmine’s face turned pale with fear, “This Simon, he was never reliable. He actually handed us over to the robbers by chartering a car.” Sonya took a deep breath. Compared to Jasmine and Ashley, she remained relatively calm.

Two masked men stood outside, each holding an iron rod. One of them took a step forward and pointed the iron rod at the three of them.
