Chapter 485 Come Out Here!
The door was kicked open, and a tall, burly man walked in with a lecherous grin. “Honey,
come back home with me. Let’s not make a scene. We were just having a little argument.
Do you really want to run away from home? Let’s go!”
The man forcefully grabbed her wrist and tried to take her

Despite Amanda’s frantic screams, there was no one in sight. It felt as though the entire
city. had been abandoned.
Undeterred, the man forcefully dragged her out of the motel. As they passed the front
desk, the woman on duty seemed unfazed by the situation and remarked, “Keep it down,
folks. Guests are sleeping. If you two want to argue, do it at home.”
“This is the payment for the broken door. Sorry about that. My wife and I just had a little
disagreement, and she’s running away from home. It won’t happen again. Sorry for the
trouble.”
Amanda shook her head frantically. “It’s not like that at all! I don’t even know him! Call the
police, please! He’s a human trafficker! I don’t know him, and I’m not his wife!”
“Fine, I don’t care about your family matters. Just go on your way, and don’t disturb
others. trying to rest.”
And so, the man arrogantly dragged Amanda out of the small motel and onto the street. It
was already 4 a.m., and the streets were deserted.
“What the heck are you going to do? Are you a human trafficker?”
With a face full of stubble, the man couldn’t help but chuckle. “Stop pretending to be
innocent. Anyone staying in a place like that isn’t exactly a model citizen. You’d be better
off coming with me. At least you’ll have a place to sleep.”
“Let
go of me! Get lost!” Amanda fought desperately, attempting to pull her hand back, but
she was no match for a man nearly three times her size.
“You’re just a nobody without even an ID. Who would care if you drop dead? Stop making
a
scene.”

Amanda yelled in desperation, but there was no one around to hear her cries. Besides, this
area was a red-light district with terrible security.

Amanda watched helplessly as she was about to be pulled into the car. She glanced at her
phone and realized Elias would not rescue her.
She dialed 911 directly, but before the call could go through, the man snatched her phone
and attempted to wrest it from her grasp.
Amanda clung to her phone with unwavering determination, resolute in not letting it bet
taken away. She needed it to call Aiden.
“Give me the phone! Are you looking for death?” the man growled in frustration.
Amanda seized the man’s hand and sank her teeth into it as if wishing she could tear off a
piece of his flesh. The man howled in pain and retaliated by kicking her in the stomach,
sending her tumbling roughly a meter away.
“Ah!”
Wincing in pain, she clutched her aching stomach, but there was no time to dwell on the
agony. She seized the opportunity to scramble to her feet and sprinted in the opposite
direction.
However, the man quickly caught on and chased after her. “Stop right there! Don’t you
dare
run!”
Amanda sprinted with all her might, determined not to let him capture her. She couldn’t
afford to be caught.
The man delivered a powerful blow to her neck in the next moment, causing a surge of
dizziness, and she collapsed to the ground.
Elias, at the president’s office of Winters Enterprise, didn’t bother going back home
because he knew sleep wouldn’t come easy. His thoughts were consumed by vivid images
of Amanda standing beside Simon, and the tone of the child’s voice on the phone,
addressing Simon affectionately as if he were their father.
The mere thought of it filled him with fury.
He sat in his office and smoked several packs of cigarettes. The smell of tobacco
permeated
the room.
It wasn’t until close to 4 a.m. when he received that desperate call from Amanda that he
felt like his lungs were about to burst with anxiety.
Then, when a second call came in, Elias began to suspect that something was terribly
amiss. The call abruptly ended, as though a real emergency had occurred.

What could possibly happen to Amanda at Simon’s place?
Could that useless Simon not even protect Amanda?
Elias frowned as he looked at his phone. He attempted to redial, but the call couldn’t
connect
His intuition screamed at him that something had gone terribly wrong.
Quickly extinguishing his cigarette in the ashtray, he snatched his suit jacket and left the
office without a second glance.
He sped all the way to the Nicholson Residence.
After ringing the doorbell, the maid hesitated to open the door and communicated with
him. through the intercom, “Mr. Winters, what brings you here again? Mr. Nicholson isn’t at
home, and Miss Bailey isn’t here either. The people you’re looking for aren’t here; only I’m
at home.”
Only the maid is home? Can something have truly gone wrong?
Elias looked at the video doorbell and asked, “Where did Simon go? Where did Amanda
go? Why aren’t they at home?”
“Miss Bailey was asked to leave by Miss Lynch, and Mr. Nicholson went out to find Miss
Bailey.”
It was a tangled mess of a situation.
Elias grew increasingly impatient. “Who is Miss Lynch? Just explain everything!”
“Miss Lynch is Mr. Nicholson’s blind date. She’s quite fond of Mr. Nicholson, but Mr.
Nicholson-”
Before the maid could finish her sentence, Elias had already pieced together the puzzle.
He turned on his heels and retreated to his car, leaving the premises.
So, now, Amanda has disappeared, and Simon’s clueless about her whereabouts. She was
driven away by Simon’s blind date.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat on earth is happening?

find Amanda first.

Inside the car, Elias made a phone call. “Get me the location of a phone number right now.
I need to know the location immediately.”
“Yes, give me a few minutes.”
After three minutes, a message appeared on Elias’ phone, confirming that the phone’s
location had been successfully determined.
Elias hit the gas and headed toward the location.
The late-night streets were eerily empty, so speeding wasn’t a concern. The usual half-
hour journey only took him a little over ten minutes to reach the pinpointed location.
However, there was no sign of anyone when he got out of the car.
Where could she be?
Elias instantly became furious and dialed the phone again. “Are you absolutely certain the
location is here? I don’t see a soul in sight. What the hell am I supposed to find?”
“Mr. Winters, the phone’s GPS location is undoubtedly here. There is absolutely no
mistake!”
He ended the call and dialed Amanda’s phone number.
Suddenly, a faint ringtone echoed from somewhere nearby.
Frowning, Elias followed the sound and found the phone discarded in a nearby flowerbed.
He picked it up and noticed that his own phone number was displayed on the screen.
To his surprise, it wasn’t a saved contact name but his phone number.
This seemed to be a new phone with no contacts saved. In an instant, he realized Amanda
had memorized his number and used it to call for help.
Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of unease washed over him.
Where could she be now?
With a panicked expression, Elias scanned his surroundi
