Chapter 1174

They led her inside the main building. The walls were fashioned from corrugated iron sheet, held up

with bars of steel on the inside. There were machines and bins of various types. Even without the men

around, it was a bit imposing.

Debbie looked warily around as she walked inside. She found what she was looking for fairly quickly.

Kasie was suspended from a rope, her mouth taped, her limbs tied.

When Kasie saw Debbie, she shook her head violently, trying to warn her. But gagged like she was, all

she could do was make muffled, incomprehensible noises.

Debbie gave her a comforting smile, then hardened her expression as she shifted her gaze to the men.

“I’m the one you want. Let her go.”

Just then, a man in a pink suit walked out. He’d been hanging back. He held a knife that glinted

strangely in the gloom. Debbie didn’t know these men. Why were they targeting her? Especially this

a woman’s.

“Ivan?’ Debbie wondered. ‘Is he…”

“How?” she asked further.

Aldrich looked at her and said, “Divorce him. Leave him forever

Debbie smiled again.

“Will you let my friend go if I agree to it?”

“By all means.”

“Okay, let her go. I’ll leave him,” Debbie promised immediately.

Something about her tone irritated Aldrich. He expected her to put up a fight. But he didn’t realize he’d

be doing Debbie a favor. He slapped the table hard and asked in a venomous tone, “Do I look like an

idiot to you? She stays till you bring me signed divorce papers. Tell anyone else, and…”

Debbie took two more steps forward. Aldrich was alarmed. He waved his hand, and three of his men

emerged from the shadows, flanking him. She might take him down, but he wasn’t going to make it
