Chapter 754
The urgency in Nathan’s eyes was unmistakable, and their chemistry was palpable.
But out of the corner of her eye, Kari noticed something. In a split second, she pushed Nathan away, fumbled with
the car door, and stumbled out.
“Kari…”
Nathan, in the midst of his excitement, was taken aback. He straightened his clothes and got out of the car.
Kari hurried to a corner where a mobile phone lay discarded. She recognized it in an instant. Because it belonged to
Brittany.
Having consumed quite a bit of alcohol, her hands were shaking.
“Whose phone is this?”
In that moment, Kari instantly sobered up. She picked up the phone, examined it closely, then looked up as her face
became incredibly pale. “It’s Brittany’s. Nathan, something’s happened to Brittany.”

The lingering ether made her feel nauseous, and it made her head pound. She couldn’t see anything around her.
Brittany slowly got up from the ground and leaned against the wall for support.
The temperature was low. So low, in fact, that Brittany could feel the cold seeping into her bones. She groped
everything around her, trying to get a sense of her surroundings. She was in a freezer. She curled up as best as she
could to conserve her energy.
After what felt like an eternity, Brittany was almost frozen stiff.
BANG!
The door opened.
Natalie walked in with a look of disdain on her face as she spotted Brittany huddled against the wall.
She strode over and slapped Brittany across the face. “You bitch!”
How dare she expose her secrets during the finals! Natalie was interrogated at the police station for hours and
nearly landed behind bars. This was all Brittany’s fault!
Brittany’s head spun from the impact. However, she shook her head, trying to stay alert. “I didn’t expose anything.”
It was Natalie who had initially done wrong. What right did she have to demand justice?
Natalie scoffed. “Brittany, you think you’re innocent? Regardless of who did it, you’re involved. You’ve embarrassed
me and tarnished my reputation. Did you really think I’d let you live your days in peace?!”
Brittany was running out of energy.
Natalie looked down at her as she said, “In less than three hours, you’ll freeze to death in here. Enjoy your final
moments.”
After Natalie left, the door to the freezer closed.
The temperature kept decreasing. Brittany felt numb to the cold. She even felt a bit hot. It was as though she was
being dragged into a burning inferno, which was slowly consuming her sanity.
The moment before she passed out, an image flashed in her mind. But before she could process it, she lost
consciousness.
Kari contacted Isaac immediately. “Mr. Salter, something’s happened to Brittany.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter hearing this, Isaac jumped up. He demanded their location and drove off without a second thought.
When he arrived at the venue, Kari was all sobered up, and Nathan’s coat was draped over her.
She held Brittany’s phone tightly with tears in her eyes. “Mr. Salter, can you locate Brittany?”
Brittany’s disappearance was too strange and sudden.
Other than the Palmers, she couldn’t think of anyone else who’d dare kidnap Brittany.
Nathan had already checked the surveillance footage and confirmed that Brittany was taken from the parking lot.
Isaac gestured for Kari to remain calm as he began to track Brittany’s whereabouts.
With no traces of Brittany found, each passing moment filled the air with tension.
The last known location of the car was in the western part of the city.
The police found the car, but Brittany was long gone.
The area was filled with warehouses and factories. Even if they were to search every single one, it would take more
than a dozen hours.
Isaac’s frustration was evident. He painstakingly reviewed all the surveillance footage and had his men search each
building, one by one.
But things didn’t seem promising.
Tears filled Kari’s eyes; she couldn’t help but blame herself. “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t told Brittany I was in trouble,
she wouldn’t have crossed the Palmers.”
