Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth
Chapter 732 Elevator Horror (3)

Chapter 732 Elevator Horror (3)

Surrounded by darkness, Manuel started thumping the door again. The longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would be.

About ten minutes had passed. Neither of them had any idea if the elevator would start falling again. Susan was frightened by his sudden thump on the door. And she somehow felt like Manuel started to fall into panic. The fear of death outreached her soberness again. She dared not take her hands off, trying to suppress her fear by seeking support from Manuel's back.

But then, both of them seemed to notice a trace of sound coming from the outside. The next second, someone broke the silence outside the elevator, "Anybody inside?"

Manuel hurried to thump on the door to respond.

The guy speaking soon noticed that "Oh, jeez, someone got trapped. Don't panic. I am now calling for help."

It should be one of the security guards. Luckily, the guards working here were responsible. The guard must be coming to see what was going on after he noticed the elevator was suddenly out of work. "Hey, wait!" Manuel shouted.

But the guard didn't seem to notice. Manuel struggled to force the door apart and shouted at the guard through the gap, "Hey, wait!"

Susan also raised her head after noticing the guard's voice from the outside. Then she was surprised by Manuel's great strength to force the door apart.

The guard outside was trying to make a call. However, he was confused about the fact that the reception was terrible here. So he was about to walk somewhere else for a better signal. "Mr Johnson?" the guard soon recognized his voice.

"The reception is terrible here. Hurry out of the building and call Henry first." Said Manuel.

Both Susan and the guard were surprised.

"I'll tell you his number. Mark it down."

The guard hurried to take out his phone.

After telling him the number, Manuel continued, "Tell Henry that both Susan and I got trapped in the elevator."

"Yes, sir."

"Then go to notice the technician team and tell them to hurry over."

"Yes, sir!"

"Make it quick!" huffed Manuel composedly.

Then the guard hurried to run down the stairs. Manuel let go of the door, which gradually closed up again.

Susan forced herself to calm down while she was slightly shivering.

"Are we gonna survive?" she asked. Her voice sounded timid. Now that the guard had found them, it would be likely that they could be rescued, she reckoned. But Manuel didn't respond because he wasn't sure enough. He couldn't tell if Henry was only conspiring against him or both of them. Neither could he tell if Henry was vicious enough to give up on Susan's life. If the worst consequence were to happen, both Susan and he would be destined to die tonight. What was worse, if such being the case, the call made by the guard would only expedite their death.

Nervousness overwhelmed his mind. But meanwhile, Susan was much more relieved as she had no idea about the possible danger. Of course, Manuel didn't intend to let her know. Now that it had happened, there was no need to scare her once again.

The air fell into dead silence. While Susan was waiting for rescue, Manuel was preparing himself for the consequence and choice of Henry.

Actually, Henry left early today. Undoubtedly, he was also aware that Manuel would definitely work overtime as it was his first day to be back in the office. His conspiracy was simple-he only needed to require someone spying on Manuel and then have the elevator manipulated, after which he only had to expect Manuel's death caused by an 'accidentally' plummeting elevator.

At the thought of that, Henry poured himself a glass of wine. After checking his watch, he supposed it was about time. When his phone buzzed, he thought it was the guy who was going to bring him the good news he expected. However, he was surprised to replace that it was a call from a stranger.

After some consideration, he still picked it up, "Hello?"

"Mr Parker, Mr...Mr Johnson and Miss Phillips are trapped inside the elevator." The guards couldn't help stammering out of nervousness.

Henry's face soon turned pale. He jumped up from the couch and asked, "Who? Who are trapped?"

"Mr Johnson and Miss Phillips!" the guard managed to make himself articulate.

Henry's hand couldn't help shivering. No one knew it was out of madness or fear. He still remembered Susan had told him that she planned to visit Hannah tonight.

How came she showed up in the building?

What was worse, she was staying with Manuel alone.

Henry's face went twisted. He felt like he was going to continue his plan and kill both of them. But the next second, his conscience took the upper hand as soon as he thought of Susan's panic and frightened look. As far as he knew about her, Susan had never been independent and tough enough to face danger alone. Now she must be in great panic.

Henry gritted his teeth with his heart writhing in pain. His expression couldn't be more horrible than that.

"Mr Parker, now I am gonna call the technician team."

After that, the guard hung up the phone. Actually, the guard was rather confused about Manuel's request to call Henry first. After the call, he hurried to notice the technician team. When he finished all this, he ran back into the building.

At the same time, Henry was clenching his phone with rage surging up in his eyes. Then his phone rang again. He picked it up.

"We are gonna cut off the last wire." Said the guy on the other side of the line.

He seemed to be asking for Henry's final confirmation.

Mixed feelings flashed across Henry's eyes. Though with viciousness burning, he still gritted to answer, "No."

The guy asked to confirm again, seemingly a bit confused, "You mean don't cut it?"

"That's right. Just stop." Huffed Henry.

"But he was gonna survive."

"I know it! Just leave, right now!" at the edge of a breakdown, Henry bawled crazily.

"Yes, sir."

Henry then smashed the phone on the ground. He turned around to kick over the table, on top of which the glass of wine spilt all over the ground.

Glaring at the mess, Henry was burning with hatred. He couldn't believe he would have let go of such a perfect opportunity. However, whenever he thought about Susan, his heart started aching out of control. Especially when the image of Susan's dead body emerged inside his brain, he felt as if it were something real that he had seen before, which had been carved in his heart for a lifelong time.
