A Close Death Encounter


    When I saw Trinity at the Vanderberg Pce, I could not figure out why she was soposed.


    Now, it all made sense.


    She never intended for Ivanna to survive.


    Trinity was trying to kill her by putting her in such a hostile environment, isted and abandoned.


    Trinity couldn''t be bothered to face her at all.


    It was a deliberate decision to leave Ivanna there to fend for herself.


    Who would have guessed she''d lock her in that hellish iron tank? No one would’ve thought about it if


    not for Jared.


    Jared appeared toprehend Trinity''s ruthlessness.


    That was why she seemed so calmst night alongside Ste.


    I feltpelled to call Grayson and ask him to monitor Ste.


    Jared''s phone rang, and he stepped out to take the call.


    When he returned, he approached Ivanna''s bedside and gently said, "I''ll be back soon." Ivanna looked


    reluctant but nodded.


    "Mm." Once Jared left, I asked Ivanna to exin what happened.


    She gripped our hands and slowly recounted the entire ordeal.


    She said she had no idea what had happened.


    She got a call from the hotel''s front desk, asking her toe back for something that had been left in


    their private room.


    As she hung up the phone and turned the car around, the power went out.


    When she tried to start her car, she discovered it was stuck.


    Then someone knocked on her window.


    As soon as she rolled it down, arge hand covered her mouth and nose.


    She had no idea what happened after that.


    It was pitch ck when she awoke.


    She was gagged and bound, sitting in foul-smelling water.


    Ivanna choked up as she recounted it, her face turning even paler.


    She trembled and said, "Chlo...


    it was so terrifying.


    I couldn''t move at all...


    The water kept rising, and it was pitch ck everywhere..." I quickly grabbed her hand.


    "Don''t be afraid.


    It''s all over now.


    You''re safe.


    None of us will let anything happen to you." Lauren nodded.


    "That''s right, Ivanna.


    Stop thinking about it.


    At least something was brought to light.


    It might even be a good thing.” I knew that Lauren''s remark held a deeper meaning.


    She was referring to the revtion of Ivanna and Jared''s rtionship.


    1 Jared would certainly be honest with Ivanna this time.


    After all, Trinity was aware of their rtionship and had acted on it.


    The two of usforted her, and she seemed to be in slightly better spirits.


    Ivanna soon fell asleep again.


    asionally, she’d wake up screaming in terror.


    It was a pitiful sight.


    This reminded me of Ava.


    I had no idea how she was doing right now.


    I quietly left the room to call my parents, who were still on Celestis Ind.


    Before I could say much, I heard Ava''s excitedughter on the other end of the line.


    I was a bit surprised.


    "Why are you so happy?" My mom sighed.

    "It''s all thanks to Mr.


    As.


    He sent a nanny over, and she brought her granddaughter, who''s two years older than Ava.


    The two of them are getting along really well." I felt reassured.


    As was genuinely caring for Ava.


    He had thought of everything, even from afar.


    It was quite an impressive move.


    "He also called Avast night and spoke with her for a long time.


    He said that if the nanny’s granddaughter gets along with Ava, they can go to school together." I didn''t


    even know when he found the time to call Ava.


    ''''Well, that sounds great! Ava needs a friend." My mom was genuinely worried about Ivanna.


    "Is Ivanna okay? Mr.


    As told us she''d been found.


    Thank goodness.


    Can you believe how audacious people in the big city can be? They just kidnap people for no reason?"
