A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 539 Did We Make It

"Don't even think about it. By the time your father gets here, you will have already been sold to rich, old perverts." Yilia's eyes burned with contempt, and she snuffed out the last glimmer of hope like a candle.

Her discouraging words forced the girl to helplessly cry out for help, "Dad..."

"No! This cannot be happening," Beryl firmly clenched her tiny fists, "My father will be here soon to save me, and he will also save you. Don't be afraid, Mona!"

"Who is your father? Do you really think he is capable of getting us out of here? Is he a powerful man?" Yillia made no effort to conceal her sarcasm.

Beryl looked at her with intent and replied, "My father is more powerful than any man you will have ever known. His name is Jacob Gu. He'll come for me. You'll see!"

"Jacob Gu?" Yilia shook her head, as if she didn't catch what Beryl had said. "Your father is Jacob Gu? Are you kidding me? I don't believe it!"

"I don't need you to believe me." Beryl held the other girl's hand and sat down on the other side.

Yilia carefully observed the pretty little girl again, and she realized that Beryl did bear a striking resemble to Jacob. All of a sudden, her mind was sent reeling, unable to accept the possibility of the little girl telling the truth.

"Is your father really Jacob, little girl?"

Beryl said nothing in response. She didn't have the patience to sit around trying to win Yilia's acceptance.

"Even though you are Jacob's daughter, you are sitting here with us all just like any other girl. By tomorrow, we will all be sold. Are you sure he will be here on time to get you out of here?"

'If this girl truly is Jacob's daughter, the kidnappers are going to pay for what they've done to her with their lives when Jacob comes to rescue his daughter, ' Yilia mused.

Beryl, however, was lost in deep thought, mulling over what Yilia had said.

Her father did not hear her screaming his name before she got taken away. How would he know that she was in Z country looking for him, let alone the fact that she got kidnapped there?

The more she analyzed it logically, the more unlikely it seemed that her father was coming to save her!

What was she to do? She would have to save herself, without her father's help!

But what could a little girl like her do against those kidnappers?

Beryl looked around, carefully observing the fellow victims in the warehouse. She wondered whether they would stand a chance if all of them fought together?

The moment Yilia noticed Beryl's suspicious behavior, she taunted, "Little girl, what are you up to?"

Beryl hesitated for a moment, but when she considered the fact that adding one more person to their numbers would strengthen them, she decided to speak her mind. "Auntie, I have an idea," said Beryl, under her breath.

Yilia scoffed disapprovingly, "Who are you calling auntie? Do I look like an auntie to you?"

Beryl was irritated by her reaction. After all, this was neither the time nor the place to be arguing about such trivial matters. She rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, fine. Sister, I have an idea..."

Yilia seemed pleased by the change Beryl had made. After hearing out Beryl's idea, she taunted her, "I thought you said you wanted to wait for your father? What now? Have you lost your confidence in your father?"

Beryl shook her head, but she looked determined. "Of course I have confidence in my father, but it's always better to have a plan B. What if you're right and my father doesn't make it here on time. Do you want to get sold to some rich, depraved man? I don't think you'd want to be someone's play thing, would you?"

"For sure." Yilia sat there thinking, her eyes focused on nothing in particular. Having considered everything, she decided to accept Beryl's suggestion. She then turned to discuss it with the other adult women in the warehouse.

At first, some of the women seemed skeptical about Beryl's proposal. However, after watching another woman being dragged out and abused, everyone buried their doubts. The shrill cry of the helpless woman gave them chills.

It was clear to them, that if they didn't fight back, one of them could be the next to go.

The little girls trembled in their arms, and some of them could not stop crying. Everything they had witnessed in the past few days was far beyond their comprehension. Sometimes the world could be a dark place, devoid of light and hope. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Soon, the time to act had presented itself.

When the woman guarding them came to check in on them, all the girls swallowed nervously and looked at each other for a few seconds, before they started crying out in pain.

"Ahh! My stomach hurts..."

"My head feels like it's going to split open..."

"I feel like my insides are burning like fire..."

As expected, the children's acting skills weren't very convincing. The female guard watched them squirming on the floor with a straight face and burst out laughing. She picked up the first little girl in front of her and sneered, "Why are you putting on such a bad performance? I'm amazed you still have the guts to act in front of me! Little girl, are you so naive to believe that I would be fooled by your little tricks?"

Unfortunately, the girl she picked up was Beryl.

Without a moment's hesitation, Beryl sunk her teeth into the guard's arm and clung to her like a baby wolf, almost tearing off a piece of her arm.

A spasm of pain contorted the woman's face and she wanted to tear Beryl to shreds!

However, a group of women rushed up to her and took her down quickly. Immediately, they put a piece of cloth in her mouth to keep her from screaming and then pinned her hands and feet to the floor. Some of them reached forward and kicked her in the stomach mercilessly...

They took out all the pain and grievances they had suffered in the past few days on this woman.

The most vicious of them all was Yilia. She sunk her nails into their woman's face and almost scratched her face off.

They would have killed the woman if they weren't interrupted by someone trying to open the door from the outside.

The female guard writhed on the floor in a serpentine fashion, unable to bear the pain. With each footstep closing in from the outside, one step at a time, the fear in girls' heart spread out like a deadly infection.

Beryl was worried as well but she tried to calm everybody down. "Don't worry! Let's stick to the plan. We have already taken down one of the guards. We can't look back now. We have to move forward!"

Beryl's words spoke volumes about her character, and it made sense to everyone. They had almost beaten one of their captors to death. If they turned back now, the punishment they would receive would be unimaginable. There was no turning back!

'The only way we will succeed is if we try!' All the girls were united under the same thought.

"Hello! Is there anyone out there? This auntie has fainted! I think she is sick! Someone! Please help!" Beryl shouted at the top of her voice, and her child-like voice showed no traces of falsehood.

Soon, a man pushed the door open and walked in. But as soon as he stepped in, he tripped on a wire and fell to the ground! Before he knew it, the women inside surrounded him and gagged his mouth with a cloth. They repeated the same process they previously applied on the female guard.

Yilia reached for the man's cell phone and called the police.

The man was completely and utterly incapacitated by the women. They quickly tied his hands and feet with ropes they had made from their clothes.

The entire ordeal had left all of them breathless, sweating profusely.

"Did we make it?"

"Of course we did."

Out of sheer joy, the little girls all gave a muffled shout.

Meanwhile, Yilia kept her eyes on Beryl the whole time. Blood dripped from the corner of her lips as she smiled faintly. Although, it wasn't visible on the surface, there was an eerie aura about her that

lingered deep inside of her.

'It wasn't a flawless plan, but wasn't it too clever for a five-year-old kid to come up with? And she was almost fearless in the face of danger!

Perhaps it is because of the blood of Jacob that runs in her veins, ' Yilia wondered, baffled by Beryl's courage and tenacity.

There were several watchmen playing cards outside. By the time they realized that two of their men had not come back for a long time, it was already too late.

The police stormed in and arrested all of the kidnappers in a very short time. They rescued all the abductees and brought them to safety in time.

Having been through a lot in one day, Beryl was so tired that she fell asleep in the patrol wagon. However, carefully observing Beryl's face, Yilia, suddenly had a bold idea in her head.
