Chapter 1088
You Hit My Heart
Joyce never recovered from the extreme shock. She crouched on the
edge of the bed and she was still weak and feeble.
Three billion!
What did Otis want to do?
Would Justin help him?
God, how was she supposed to stop that?
She heard a "bang" outside, a heavy slamming of the door, followed by
the roar of a car starting up.
Otis seemed to have really gone.
She didn't dare to move and continued to wait for a little while longer.
She focused and listened.
After a long time, there was no more movement inside the villa, and
she was relieved and was sure that Otis had finally left.
Only then did she dare to retrieve the magnetic ball and put it in her
bag.
Fortunately, in order to defend herself, she always carried the magnetic
ball with her, although she did not expect such a day when it would
come in handy.
She felt her strength was coming back little by little, and the effect of
the medicine seemed to be almost over.
Feeling like she could finally move around, she hurriedly stood up and
left the room.
Then she started looking for her cell phone.
Finally, on the coffee table in the living room, she found her cell phone.
When she opened it, the screen was almost full of missed calls. She
frowned and had no time to see who was calling her at the moment.
Her jacket was also thrown on the couch.
She put her clothes back on in a hurry.
The most important thing for her now was to hurry up and get out of the
shackles of Otis and leave this hellhole.
When she was just about to step out of the villa, she suddenly retracted
her feet.
The words Otis said at that time came back to her mind, and she
judged that the evidence that could prove Charlotte's guilt back then
might be hidden inside this villa.
Since she was here today.
Why did she not find out the evidence?
So she began to rummage around the villa, yet there was no safe or
anything like that, and no secret compartments could be found.
Otis was not likely to keep things in plain sight.
Where would it be?
She looked around and looked everywhere, and time was ticking away
quickly.
She knew there was a risk that if Otis did turn back, she would lose her
best chance to escape.
She felt so anxious.
On the wall of the living room, the old wall clock said it was nearly 4:00
am.
She still found nothing. Maybe she was wrong? Was the evidence not
in the villa at all? Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly
had a flash of light in her head.
No, the wall clock in the living room said it was 4:00 am.
And she just passed a room, and the clock in the room said it was still
one o'clock, so the hands in that clock did not move at all.
So, the clock in the room was not working. Did it just happen to run out
of power?
Why? The whole villa was well organized, and Otis was like someone
with severe OCD. All the things here were arranged perfectly, so why
was it that the clock in the room was not working?
Joyce's eyes flashed and she immediately came into the room and took
the clock off the wall.
She opened the back cover, and sure enough, there was a flash drive
hidden inside.
She gave a sigh of relief, and although she couldn't check what was
inside now, she was almost certain that it must have something to do
with Charlotte from back then.
Great!
She hung the clock back up and set it up as it was. The clock looked
like no one had ever touched it.
Then she hurried up and left Otisâ private villa.
When she came out, however, she found that the villa was actually in
the middle of nowhere, and she walked for a long time before she could
get to the main road. It was early in the morning, and there were few
cars on the road.
Luckily, she was lucky enough to meet a cab on the way back to the
Capital...
