She then put on her knee-high boots. Upon noticing that it was just about time to leave, she grabbed a white Hermès from her handbag shelf. She placed the jewelry that she bought for Sharon Lindt as well as her phone into it and prepared to leave.

Right at that moment, footsteps were heard from the room.

She calmly took a glance at the entrance of the cloakroom and then carefully put on her Chanel diamond earrings in front of the dressing mirror which was coated with gold and embedded with diamonds. "Five Batton, why didn't you knock before coming in? Is there any problem?" She asked.

However, there was no response from the outside.

She put on her other earring immediately. She then lifted her head and looked at the entrance.

At that very moment, two women dressed up in tight-fitting wear showed up right in front of her.

The sudden appearance of two strangers made her heart tremble.

She took a step back subconsciously. She was alert, "Who are you? How did you two get in here?"

This villa had an excellent security rating. It would be very difficult to open any of the doors without passwords or keys.

If anyone were to break in with brute force, it would trigger the smart alarm system built in the door and would set off the alarm.

As for the walls, there was also a separate alarm system installed in them. It was basically impossible for an ordinary person to get over them unnoticed.

Therefore, she was certain that these two women, who got in with ease even being unnoticed, were not any ordinary experts.

"Five Batton...Five Batton..." She shouted for help and reached for her mobile phone immediately. She wanted to call the police with her phone.

She was very worried that she might not be able to deal with these two women.

Her heart was beating faster and faster.

The duo looked at each other and snorted coldly. They then attacked her at the same time.

Xyla Quest striked back with all her might. However, she was no match for them and was pinned onto the floor eventually.

"Help...Five Batton..." She shouted out loud.

"We only came in after we made sure that there's no one else in your house," One of them, who was wearing leather tights, told her in an icy tone. The next second, she raised her hand and smacked Xyla on the back of her head.

Xyla blacked out and had no idea of what happened next.

By the time she opened her eyes again, she found out that she was in an extremely dark and small room.

The walls, ceilings and the floor were all made out of concrete. The space was especially narrow, she could not even see the door.

It looked like a secret chamber.

The lights were the most common incandescent lamps. The wattage was very low and the room was dimly lit.

She was tied onto a snowy white chair and right next to her, Georgie Clementine was there as well.

Just like her, Georgie was tied onto a chair as well. She was still unconscious and her head was hanging low.

A few men stood around her. They were all wearing black suits, black shirts and black leather shoes. They even had the same black buzzcut.

Her gut feeling told her that Fred Thomson was the one who targeted Georgie and her today.

"Are you all working for Fred Thomson?" Xyla asked coldly.

Right at that moment, the stone door slowly slid open.

Fred had a toothpick in his mouth and he walked in with a sinister smile, "Miss Xyla, you really are smart..."

After Xyla had an idea of the things that he had done, she gnashed her teeth in hatred when she saw his face at that time.

"Fred, what are you trying to do?" Xyla questioned him coldly.
