Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Distress Signal

They never expected her to say such a thing out loud.
It took them a while before they finally took a few steps back.
“Alright, we’ll step back, and you come out.”
Seeing that they had finally compromised, Suri Drew knew that the situation was likely as she had guessed.
Their current behavior was probably just to get her out so they could torment her and her husband more effectively. But no matter what, she would never let them succeed.
So, at this moment, she took a deep breath and went over the plan in her head one more time.
She also smashed a wine glass on the floor.
Then, she collected the shards of glass into her pocket.
If anyone tried to get close later, she would quickly take out the glass shards.
Having some means of self-defense was better than having none at all.
After all, in the bedroom, she really couldn’t find any other items she could use.
Having this was already not easy for her.
Yigol Novak didn’t know what his wife was thinking, but when he heard her planning to come out, he became very anxious.
So he kept talking without stopping.
“Honey, can you please behave? Don’t come out. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me. Stay inside, they can’t get in.”
“Alright, alright. Don’t worry about me. I’m really fine. Please don’t come out, alright? Promise me.”
He was really panicking, and his speech sped up without him even realizing it, hoping Suri could take his words to heart.
But how could Suri really stay inside the whole time?
The situation was no longer as simple as they had imagined. From the very beginning, she had called for her bodyguards.
But now she guessed that the bodyguards must have encountered something on their way.
Otherwise, after such a long time, they would have arrived here already. Something must have happened on their way.
And if nothing had happened at the hotel, the bodyguards would have been able to get in with no problem.
So she deduced that something had already happened at the hotel.
Moreover, from the very beginning, her husband had sensed that something was off with the hotel. She didn’t think it was a big deal back then, but now that she considered it, it was indeed suspicious that there were so many people missing today.
It felt like this had been a trap from the start, and she just hadn’t thought about it that much.
If she had known this, she would have been more careful at the beginning.
She should have listened to her husband and been more sensitive to her surroundings. That way, none of this would have happened.
But talking about it now was already pointless.
She had done what she could, but the rescuers simply couldn’t make it, and now she couldn’t even send messages with her phone nor ask for help from others.
So she couldn’t just watch her husband being beaten by them the entire time.
No matter what, she had to do something.
As she prepared to go out, a thought suddenly popped into her head.
If they rushed out so recklessly and the entire hotel was under control, they might not be able to escape at all.
So at this moment, she had to find a way to ask for help from the outside world.
Since her phone was no longer usable, there was only one solution she could think of.
Luckily, their bedroom had a glass window.
Not only that, it was a floor-to-ceiling window.
And the floor they were on wasn’t very high.
If she put some help signals on the glass, other people might be able to see them.
Passers-by would likely be somewhat sensitive to these signals.
Doing so might ensure their safety and prevent anything from happening to them.
So at this moment, she immediately began searching for a way to write on the glass window.
After some searching, she finally found something.
There was a marker on a cabinet nearby, along with a few sheets of paper.
These items seemed to be for note-taking purposes only.
But thankfully there was a marker, so she could use that to write a help message on the glass window.
So Suri then grabbed the marker and wrote three letters on the glass window.
The international distress signal, SOS.
Not only that, but the letters she wrote were huge, almost filling the entire glass surface.
After completing all this, she immediately grabbed a lighter and the sheets of paper she had found.
She did this to prepare to ignite the room later.
All of her plans had been clearly formulated in her mind.
No matter what, she wouldn’t allow any mistakes to be made, as her husband was inside and in great danger.
Once she had everything ready, she went to the door.
People outside had grown impatient, wondering what was taking her so long, and what she was playing at.
So at this moment, they once again came to the door and yelled loudly.
“What are you doing in there, dawdling? Didn’t you say you were coming out? Come out quickly!”
“If you don’t come out soon, we’ll kick the door down!”
The two of them sounded extremely angry.
And Suri knew that it would not be good to provoke them further now.
So, no matter what, she had to stay calm and carry out her plan.
Then she addressed the people outside the door.
“But you’re still so close to me now. I can tell from your voices. Didn’t you say you’d step back?”
After hearing this, the two of them were very unhappy. But thinking about how they could torment the couple more thoroughly later, they eventually compromised and dragged themselves several steps back.
“We’ve already stepped back quite a bit. Can you come out now?”
Suri could tell from their voices that they had indeed obediently moved back several steps.
So, at this moment, she took a deep breath, nodded, and said.
“Alright, I understand. I’m coming out now. Just don’t go back on your word.”
At this moment, she held the lighter in one hand and the sheets of paper in the other.
