Chapter 809:
The only escape route was through the main entrance. Though it promised a tight security blanket, it still seemed her best bet for a clean break.
As Allison descended the stairs, her phone lit up. It was a number from Vrining she didnât recognize. Maybe it was one of Verrucktâs guys?
Before she could respond, a familiar voice surged through the speaker.
âAllison, itâs me,â Colton said, his words tumbling out in haste. âDonât hang up. I need to tell you something crucial.â
Apprehensive that she might hang up immediately, Colton plunged ahead without pausing for breath. âLook, Iâve pieced together everything from five years ago, Allison. Iâm truly sorry.â
He drew in a deep, sorrowful breath. âHad I known soonerââ
Allison cut him off, no hesitation in her voice. âMr. Colton, save your sob story. Iâm not buying it.â
She nearly ended the call, but a sudden thought stopped her. With a skeptical squint, she challenged him. âIf you really are sorry, why not show some actual sincerity?â
Colton, caught off guard yet hopeful, realized this might be his chance to mend the rift. âTell me what to do. Iâll make things right.â
âIâm currently at the White Stallion Club, an infamous spot known for its tight security. Itâs mayhem here.â

âIâm here too!â His face lit up. He didnât even realize that her presence here was strange. âI can help you escape.â
Relieved by his prompt response, Allison gave him clear instructions. âHead to the main entrance on the first floor.â
âGot it.â Colton moved toward the entrance, eyeing the situation. His brow furrowed in concern. âThereâs a crowd watching. Sneaking out this way looks tough.â The place was crawling with security.
âI can only use the main entrance; the other exits are swamped,â Allison explained. She paused, thinking. âCan you distract the guards at the main entrance? Maybe smash something or fake a drunken scene. Just divert their attention for a minute.â
Colton hesitated, then set his jaw firmly. âAlright, Iâll do it.â
He was determined to prove to Allison that she would never be ignored by him again.
After ending her call, Allison hurried out of the fire escape. As she descended past the fifth floor, she heard footsteps approaching from the corridor. Ignoring them, she pressed on, racing down to the ground floor.
Outside, she found Colton causing quite a scene at the entrance.
âLet me in!â he bellowed, feigning the tone of a rowdy drunk. âCall your boss out here! Youâve got no right to throw me out!â
