Chapter 1379 Locked in the Cold Storage
Mila glanced at the unconscious woman on the ground, then turned to the two men standing in front of her. "Nice work, guys. You did good."
She pulled out a card from her wallet. "There's $200,000 on this card. You two can split it, $100,000 each, if you spend the night with this woman."
The two men exchanged uneasy glances. Despite their greed, they knew this woman was Elmer's wife. Sleeping with her? That was a death sentence.
"Miss Bailey, we did what you asked and drugged her. But anything beyond that is on you." One of the men took the card. "You never said we had to do anything else to Mrs. Roach. Drugging her was your request, and we did exactly that."
Mila snorted, realizing the men were too scared to go further.
Messing with the Roach family's reputation was no joke. If things went south, it would be a big deal.
These guys weren't dumb.
Mila stepped forward and kicked Rachel hard in the stomach. "Take her to the freezer."
Seeing the men hesitate, Mila shouted, "If anything happens, I'll take the heat!"
She didn't believe Isaac Roach would risk a fallout with the Bailey family over one woman. After all, the entire Redwood Isle depended on the Bailey family for oil.

"So cold."
Rachel groggily opened her eyes. Where was she?
It was freezing.
She had woken up from the cold.
Looking around, Rachel realized she was in a freezer.
How did she end up here?
Rachel remembered seeing Natalie at the banquet hall. She was about to call out to her when someone covered her mouth from behind. The cloth had a sedative on it, and she passed out. Now she was here.
Standing up, Rachel walked to the door and started banging on it.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?" Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and clutched it. What was happening? The pain was intense.
"Hey, is anyone out there?"
The freezer door was covered in frost, and Rachel's palms were turning red from the cold. There was no sound from outside.
Rachel looked around the freezer. There were only some frozen food items. What could she do? There was nothing to keep her warm. Was she really going to freeze to death in here?
Rachel's eyes began to lose focus. She bit herself to stay awake and used some frozen products and nearby tools to bang on the walls, making noise.
Outside, a hotel staff member walked by.
They faintly heard the noise from inside.
The staff member approached, ready to open the door and check.
Suddenly, a voice called out, "What are you doing here? The banquet is starting. Hurry up and serve the food. We're short on staff."
The staff member quickly left, abandoning the idea of checking the door.
Rachel's heart sank. She leaned against the door, her delicate face slowly becoming covered in frost.
Her eyelashes trembled as she kept blowing on her hands, trying to warm them.
At that moment, the feeling of impending death enveloped her.
She thought of Jamie.
This man, he must be happy not seeing her for the past month.
Now, she was going to die.
When he found out, he probably wouldn't be sad.
A tear rolled down Rachel's cheek, freezing before it hit the ground, hanging on her face like an icicle.
Rachel felt her breathing become labored, her eyelids heavy.
She knew that if she fell asleep now, it might be forever.
