Chapter 1606
[ 546 words ]
“The sun hasn’t even set yet. Stop daydreaming.”
“Drake is coming soon. You better go clean yourself up and get ready.”
Yates’s words were a direct order. Refusing meant a one-way trip back to the basement.
Terrified of the dark room, Quinn had no choice but to comply.
However, hope arrived much sooner than she expected.
Stephen showed up.
They came in plain clothes, but their imposing aura instantly gave them away.
Stephen had indeed come.
And he was here to shut the entire operation down.
Cracking this case was effortlessly simple for him.
He rounded up everyone in the salon. With the mountain of evidence he had, even the owner couldn’t run.
Because Drake was scheduled for a ‘special session’ that night, a massive crowd of criminals had gathered. Stephen netted every single one of them.
It was a perfect ambush.
Stephen didn’t earn his reputation as an elite detective for nothing.
His reach and resources were unparalleled.
Quinn knew a lot. Some things she had stumbled upon by accident, and other evidence she had secretly hoarded.
She had done it all in the hopes of one day sending everyone in this hellhole to prison.
Now that her goal was finally achieved, Quinn wept tears of sheer relief.
She asked Stephen to help contact her parents.
When her parents found out she had been lured to the Montara border, they were furious but deeply heartbroken.
They hated her foolishness but ached for her suffering.
Because Quinn had been forced to participate in the scamming, she wasn’t entirely innocent.
Even with her contribution as an informant, she still had to serve time.
Fortunately, her sentence was light-she would be out in six months.
After surviving this nightmare, Quinn would never touch online dating again.
In fact, she was completely traumatized.
For the next ten years, Quinn refused to date at all.
No matter how much her parents pleaded, she treated men like walking plagues.
If her parents pushed too hard, she simply refused to come home.
Left with no other choice, her parents eventually gave up and let her live her life on her own terms.
But that was a story for the future.

Everyone was incredibly curious about Claire’s kidnapping, but she kept her mouth
shut.
Her best friend, Priscilla Hastings, was equally tight-lipped.
No one could pry a single detail out of either of them.
However, Sloane Sterling came looking for her as soon as she heard Claire was back on campus.
As the granddaughter of the Sterling family, Sloane knew some of the inside details.
Moreover, her cousin had gone with Claire to The Aila Highlands.

Sloane sighed. She had finally realized her usual manipulative tactics were
completely useless on Claire.
Claire simply had zero patience for her nonsense.
“I have a question.” Realizing Claire preferred blunt honesty, Sloane dropped the
act.
“You can ask, but I might not answer.”
Claire wasn’t about to indulge her.
Sloane could tell Claire was annoyed, but she genuinely wanted to be friends with her.
“What do you think of my cousin?”
