Chapter 91 The Mysterious Man's Idea

"What you're doing is illegal, sir!" Amelia protested. She scanned the place where the strange men took her but wouldn't go forward for fear of what she'd find in the dark. She stubbornly sat down on the ground, signaling to the men that she was going to stay put.

This didn't do much as the men easily lifted her and pushed her inside the abandoned house.

"Ah!" Amelia screamed when the door clicked and swung open. The whole place was dead silent.

Amelia knelt on the floor. She didn't dare move, fearing what would happen next.

"Are you Amelia?" A voice came out of the darkness. It was loud and reverberated in the room, making it sound weird and frightful for Amelia.

Despite her nerves, Amelia answered, "Yes. Who are you?"

She helplessly tried to make out figures in the darkness, searching for the man whose voice she was hearing. Amelia's heart was thumping loudly, but she tried her best to appear calm.

"It doesn't matter who I am. All you need to know is that I'm here to help you." Amelia could tell that the voice was coming from a man, but that was all she could tell about the person she was talking to. His voice sounded mysterious and cold.

"Help me?" Amelia asked, looking around in confusion. But whoever abducted her seemed like he had no intention of revealing himself. Only a stretch of darkness laid in front of her. "Stop playing mysterious and show yourself!" Amelia snapped.

A million possibilities of what might happen ran in her head. The threat to her safety had never felt more real. She could feel herself sweating bullets.

"Don't be afraid. I promise that we

or and was shocked. It was Jonny. "How did you know I was here?" she asked.

Jonny was wearing a pinstripe suit. He answered with a gentle smile, "This hotel belongs to An Group. I've been asking for information on you, so as soon as you checked in, I knew that you were here."

"Oh..." Amelia smiled, happy to see Jonny. "I'm just going to clean myself up a bit."

"Okay. I'll wait for you at the hotel restaurant," Jonny replied.

Not wanting to make the situation any more awkward, Amelia nodded in agreement.

It took Amelia about ten minutes to freshen up. When she went downstairs, she found Jonny sitting at the bar, enjoying his cup of coffee. Seeing Amelia, he stood up and waved at her.

"You have to try their shrimp porridge. It's delicious! It's especially good for your stomach," Jonny said, pushing a bowl of hot porridge in front of her as soon as she sat down.

Amelia could only smile and accept.

"Amelia, I know that your life is your business, and I'd never want to intrude. But I've been your schoolmate for years and I've always thought of you as a little sister. I hope you know I'm here for you, especially in times of difficulty," Jonny said with a gentle smile. His eyes were full of concern.

Amelia took a spoonful of porridge. As she ate, she couldn't help but remember the mysterious man's advice to her last night. Seeing Jonny's charming smile, Amelia blushed and lowered her head.

She didn't want to make matters more complicated than they already were. Amelia was tired of thinking. For the first time in a long while, her mind was clear and she felt ashamed for it.
