Chapter 1318: Restricted Freedom
When Janelle’s mom left the house, Janelle saw her to the living room, waving non-stop, "Be safe on the road, bye-bye!"The mother-daughter relationship suddenly became incredibly good!
Once she left, the door closed, and Janelle’s smile disappeared. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to her bedroom.
She carried her suitcase to the walk-in closet, unzipped it, tossed it on the floor, casually grabbed a few outfits and threw them into the suitcase, also adding a few versatile berets.
Daily skincare products and cosmetics went into the bag, which she also tossed in.
Finally, she pulled out the charger plugged by the bedside.
Thinking it over, there shouldn’t be anything else she needs to bring. Whatever’s missing, she could buy in Riventhal later.
If it weren’t for Trevor and only for Dad, she might not be so eager to go to Riventhal.
Yes, she missed Trevor.
She couldn’t see any updates about him on social media and didn’t know how he was doing.
With her suitcase, she opened the living room entrance door, and as Janelle was stepping out, two burly men blocked her path, almost bumping into their chests!
"Miss, without Sister Sterling’s permission, you cannot go out."
Janelle gave them a glance, stayed silent, and forcefully tried to step out!
But she was stopped and directly carried back!
"Miss, please don’t make things difficult for us."
"..." Janelle was speechless and anxious, she had finally found a chance, couldn’t let it slip, right?
She tried to make another forced attempt to break through, yet the two men carried her back into the living room, "Miss! Please don’t waste your efforts! If you escape, we won’t get paid! If you stay, we can get a large sum!"
"How much? I’ll pay!" Janelle said, hurriedly pulling out her phone, "I’ll double it! Name your price! Open up the payment code! I’ll scan you!"
"We still must follow the rules of the world." the man said as he turned and left, closing the door.
No matter how Janelle tried, the door wouldn’t budge at all.
She mentally collapsed, finding out Sister Sterling had prepared for this! So, escaping this arranged meeting was an incredibly difficult task!
Janelle put down the suitcase, calmly sat on the sofa, and began to ponder, deciding to use a clever approach.
Outside the door, the guarding man picked up the phone and dialed Janelle’s mom’s number, "Sister Sterling, you guessed right. Miss tried to leave."
"Keep a good watch." Carlotta Sterling instructed, "Without my permission, she cannot leave an inch."
"Yes."
In the living room sofa, Janelle held her phone, scrolling through Trevor’s social media.
She almost couldn’t resist the urge to contact him but reconsidered, thinking he must be very busy, right?
What would come of reaching him?
Not knowing what to talk about, she couldn’t just tell him she missed him a bit, right?
Janelle sighed, in a burst of impulse, she sent him a cute emoji, a small girl with flushed cheeks.
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed...
He did not reply.
Janelle kept waiting, but he still didn’t reply.
When she considered retracting it, she found it had already been over two minutes.
In this era of smartphones always in hand, a girl sending a message and a boy not responding is an extremely awkward situation.
Meanwhile, in Riventhal, at The Dalton Group.
In a spacious, bright, and upscale multifunctional conference hall, Trevor in a dark blue tailored suit was in the lead position, explaining the project prospects to the executives.
He spoke eloquently and confidently, embodying a successful entrepreneur.
Behind him, the screen was projecting his phone screen.
In the open messaging app, Janelle’s message jumped to the top.
His phone usually silent, not many people were added on his messaging app, this sudden notification drew everyone’s attention to his messages.
Including Trevor, who picked up his phone from the table.
