Her body, too, had deteriorated due to neglect.
For Tessa, life had lost its meaning and purpose.
Today, she was prepared to gamble with her life. A win meant escape and riches, while a loss would mean dragging Raegan and Mitchel down with her.
Raegan watched Tessa with alarm. The latter’s behavior was erratic and far removed from sanity.
At this moment, Raegan tried to appeal to Tessa’s remaining reason and advised, “Tessa, don’t make things worse for yourself. Let me go now, and you might still have a chance. But if you cross the line, there will be no turning back.”

“Let you go? Keep dreaming!” Tessa laughed terrifyingly, bringing shiver down Raegan’s spine.
“Oh, I’ll release you. But straight to hell. You and Mitchel can be together there.”
Fear gripped Raegan’s heart. She realized that Tessa was beyond reasoning.
Without another word, Tessa gagged Raegan with a cloth and took out a strange, custom-made phone. Then, she started a video call.
“Now, let’s see where Mr. Dixon is.”
A moment later, the video connected.
Mitchel appeared on the screen. His clothes were untouched, but his hair was slightly disheveled.
Raegan, on the other hand, could not be seen in the video.
Mitchel kicked the bag beside him and said in a cold, business-Like tone, “Tessa, I’m almost at the location you gave me. I’ve brought the money with me.”
“Prompt as ever, Mitchel,” Tessa remarked.
“I deliver the money, you deliver the person. That’s the deal.”

“It’s been a while since I last saw you. I’ve missed you, Mitchel, but…” Tessa laughed maliciously and added, “You’re too formidable, Mitchel. You scare me.”
Mitchel gritted his teeth in frustration.
“What do you want?”
“First, stab yourself twice. Then, I’ll give you the exact Location.
And remember, you go in alone.”
In a defiant gesture, Mitchel drew a woman over and showed her to the screen.
“Do you think the life of your mother and this money are enough leverage, Tessa?”
The screen then revealed Kenia. Her mouth was bleeding and swollen, clearly a victim of abuse.
