Chapter 739 Waking Up in a Strange Place
There were accidents, electric shocks, robberies, and even drownings; each
method of death seemed ordinary, as if accidents like these happened in the
world every day.
However, upon closer examination, it became chillingly apparent that every
person involved in the construction of the underwater palace had experienced
some form of accident within a month of completing the project.
It was like the Grim Reaper had paid a visit.
“And not only that but large sums of money were deposited into their accounts,”
explained the blonde assistant. “The funds were transferred into the accounts of

these individuals by a man named Bill. However, our investigation revealed that
this man had been deceased for a while, clearly indicating that someone had
stolen his identity.”

Joe’s face turned frighteningly dark. Such meticulous and cruel methods were
being employed in the abduction of Charlotte.
What could the perpetrators possibly be aiming for? What did they intend to do
to her?
Meanwhile, in a villa in a certain country, Charlotte woke up, her senses slowly
returning.
She abruptly opened her eyes, and the images of what had happened before
the attack flashed in her mind.
At that moment, she had been in the waiting room, patiently allowing the
makeup artist to touch up her makeup. Suddenly, she heard a series of faint
noises coming from the room.
Before she could react, a strange and pungent odor filled the air.
Charlotte’s reflexes were quick. She grabbed a damp handkerchief from the
table and covered her nose and mouth. She was about to rush to the door for
help when several burly men burst out of a hole in the wall and seized her.
She tried to resist, but how could her agility compare to the mercenaries who
danced on the edge of death?
In just a moment, Charlotte was knocked unconscious by them, losing all
awareness.
As she recollected the moments before passing out, she kept herself lying still
for a while, discreetly scanning her surroundings.
She found herself lying on a rather uncomfortable bed, still dressed in her
wedding gown. There was no one watching over her in the vicinity.
“Is anyone here?” Charlotte tentatively called out.
As expected, there was no response.
Assured that no one would suddenly rush out, Charlotte slowly sat up.
She hurried to the door and gave it a strong push, and to her surprise, the door
swung open!
Charlotte’s face lit up with joy. She quickly rushed outside but was astounded to

find herself trapped within a villa.
The villa was not very large, with only two floors.
All the windows were sealed with metal bars, rendering her impossible to open.
Aside from the room door, the villa’s main entrance was also welded shut, and
all the furniture was securely fastened in place, making it impossible to move.
No wonder her captors felt comfortable leaving her alone here. Given the
condition of this villa, she had absolutely no possibility of escaping.
Realizing the burden of the wedding gown she was wearing, Charlotte returned
to the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and began searching.
Sure enough, she found a set of short-sleeved clothing.
Without much hesitation, Charlotte retreated to the bathroom and changed into
her new clothes. Once done, she headed downstairs to try again.
This time, she meticulously checked every room, ensuring that they were all
sealed shut before temporarily giving up and sitting on the sofa.
Had her captors gone through all this trouble just to lock her up in a villa?
That would be utterly insane!
Thinking about how worried Joe and her family must be right now, Charlotte’s
brow furrowed, and her gaze started to roam the ceiling.
