"What’s wrong with you?"
Susan Carter waited for what felt like ages and still received no reply. She thought there was sothing odd about July Quinn today.
July Quinn touched her still-flat stomach and sniffled.
"It’s nothing. Check if there’s anything else good to eat in the bag aside from this."
No matter what awaited her in the future, she couldn’t give up so easily now.
"Gum. Do you want so?"
"Give it to ."
So, Susan Carter tossed all the gum to her.
July Quinn tossed a piece of gum into her mouth.
The refreshing mint flavor diluted the nausea, making her feel a bit better.
Her foggy mind started to clear up with so understanding.
"Jennings should be back in about ten minutes."
"I will go now to cut off their power system and get you out."
Susan Carter said as she was about to head out.
"No need."
Amid Susan Carter’s look of confusion, July Quinn asked, "You brought a gun and silencer, didn’t you?"
"I did."
Susan Carter took them out of her backpack.
These were for ergencies.
"Give them all to and then, following my instructions..."
July Quinn shared what she had just thought of with Susan Carter.
After a mont of surprise, Susan Carter complied with July Quinn’s directions and left Newmont Castle.
When Jennings returned to the sealed space, July Quinn was still lying weakly on the ground, just as before.
Seeing this, Jennings breathed a sigh of relief and simultaneously gave a sinister smile.
"July Quinn, everything you’ve taken from The Marsden Family will soon return to my hands."
Seeing no response from July Quinn, he mischievously added, "No, not just everything you’ve taken, but even what you originally owned will be mine. Even you yourself..."
"I’ve told you before about the potion that will make you powerless, and soon it will be in my hands. Once you’re injected, you’ll never be able to resist again, and you’ll have no choice but to stay with in this small world as a long-term couple!"
Yes, this was Jennings’ goal.
From the mont he imprisoned July Quinn in this cage, he made no secret of it.
However, even in this emaciated state, July Quinn’s eyes remained cold, and she refused to let him get close.
So, Jennings thought of the potion from Joseph’s lab.
"Wait until you get the potion. I used to think you were different from your father, but now it seems you really are his son, with the sa vile blood running through your veins."
July Quinn turned away from Jennings, her tone filled with undisguised disdain for Jennings and his father.
Her words deeply stung Jennings: "Your life is in my hands now, yet you’re still so arrogant? Do you believe I won’t kill you right now?"
But this threat seed to not affect July Quinn at all.
"Do as you please."
"July Quinn!"
Jennings, driven to madness, drew his gun.
But after pointing it at July Quinn for quite so ti, he didn’t pull the trigger.
Apart from his reluctance to see her die, Jennings wanted more to tear away all her pretenses and watch her plead on her knees for rcy.
"You’ll see, one day I’ll make you cry and beg for ."
In seething resentnt, Jennings slamd the door and left.
However, he didn’t know that the mont he drew his gun, July Quinn, with her back turned to him, also had a gun in her hand.
Indeed, if it wasn’t absolutely necessary, July Quinn didn’t want to use such an extre thod to escape.
After all, she wasn’t willing to risk her life just yet.
Luckily, Jennings didn’t fire his gun before leaving.
So she still had another option...
