Chapter 687 Make Your Escape
Lincoln looked at Stephen grimly. “What do you mean?” “So please, give me a chance to protect her. All you need to do is get her out safely.”
How could Lincoln not understand the implication behind Stephen’s words? Lincoln frowned slightly. “You’re forgetting one thing. She’s my girl.’ “Exactly. That’s why I want you to give me this chance. I’m her brother.” Lincoln furrowed his brows silently.
“Lincoln, Zayla cares deeply for you. I envy you. “But more than envy, I hope for Zayla’s happiness.” These two statements originated from the depths of Stephen’s heart.
Even though Stephen had once thought Lincoln disrupted Zayla’s peaceful life, and Lincoln was no different from Simon. But Zayla had chosen.
Stephen knew when to push and when to yield. He knew, with great certainty, that above all else, he wished to ensure Zayla’s happiness rather than claim her for himself.
And so he had made his choice. When they reached the theater entrance, they exchanged a glance. Then Stephen called out, “Archie, we’re here for our appointment!”
The door creaked open a crack, just wide enough to slip through sideways. Come in one at a time.” Lincoln was about to enter sideways, but Stephen stopped him. “Me first.” They entered the theater, one after the other. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
The moment they did, Archie yanked tight the rope in his hands! A resounding “thud” echoed! The theater door slammed shut!
Archie wasn’t about to give the outside world a glimpse of the inside. He was cunning enough to outwit Clarence, so he certainly wasn’t brainless. Today was his final gamble, his last desperate play.
He couldn’t stand to be belittled like this, so he would use his pathetic life to get revenge! Pop. The lights came on!
Lincoln and Stephen saw the iron cage in the distance! Zayla was huddled in the middle of the cage, hugging herself.
Upon hearing the noise, she slowly raised her head, recognizing the two of them. Lincoln… Stephen… They had come after all. Zayla blinked, looking exhausted and frail.
“Zayla,” Lincoln called to her, “don’t be afraid.” “Zayla, I’m here,” Stephen said immediately
Zayla’s eyes instantly filled with tears. Not because they had come, but because… Why did they come! She had seen with her own eyes how Archie had planted bombs all around the cage!
Archie intended to destroy everyone in this place, including himself! Coming to the appointment was as good as committing suicide! Zayla kept shaking her head. Her lips moved, but no sound emerged…
She could only hope they could understand her lip movements! “Go! “Make your escape! “There are bombs! Go!” But the distance between them was too great.
Rows and rows of seats separated them! The room was dark, the lighting dim. They couldn’t clearly see her mouth movements at all.
And in this situation, there was no time to decipher her lip-reading… She was so anxious she didn’t know what to do, yet she didn’t even have the strength to get up!
“You all saw it, didn’t you? She’s still alive.” As he spoke, Archie threw two pairs of handcuffs in front of them.
“Put them on yourself.” Lincoln and Stephen bent down to pick them up and handcuffed themselves. Seeing them move without hesitation, Archie suddenly laughed.
“I never imagined that Zayla would have such an influence. She can make Prince Lincoln and the CEO of the Vargas Group obediently obey. Truly remarkable!”
Lincoln’s expression was cold. “Enough talk. Next step.
