Chapter 513 How Could It Be Him?!
Only the two of them knew about this matter, so who could have called Serene?
Antonio realized what Sarah was thinking in an instant; he truly felt wronged, "Sarah, she deceived me for so long, so how could I possibly tip her off?"
Antonio instantly became furious, kicked over a flowerpot, and pointed at James as he yelled, "What are you looking at me for? Why aren't you blocking all the city exits? You were supposed to keep an eye on her; is this how you do your job?"
James didn't dare slack off and hurriedly arranged for more people to continue monitoring the city limits; they absolutely couldn't let Serene escape the city...
On the other hand, Serene, who was now out of range of the sirens, slowly let out a sigh of relief.
It was already pitch dark, and there were no streetlights in the wilderness, making it impossible to see anything around her.
Serene knew she couldn’t stop a car on the highway to help her leave, fearing that she would be discovered by Antonio's people. She could only continue to hide in the pile of weeds and fumble forward.
Finally, she found an abandoned tunnel entrance that could shelter her from the wind. After running for an entire day, she was extremely hungry, and coupled with the cold wind, she felt so cold that she was shivering.
Next to the tunnel was a garbage dump, filled with kitchen waste thrown by nearby villagers. Unable to bear the hunger, Serene was reminded of her childhood days when she had to pick up food from the wilderness...
She endured the humiliation and silently searched through the garbage dump. Suddenly, a cold laugh pierced her ears.
Serene jumped up in alert and retreated continuously. She didn't have time to think about where the cold laugh came from and ran away.
Regardless of whether it was someone sent by Antonio, anyone appearing here in the middle of the night must be dangerous.
Just as Serene had only taken two steps, she was grabbed by a strong hand. "Ah! Let go of me, you stinky hooligan! Let go of me! Do you know who I am? Believe it or not, I'll make you pay for this!"
Serene was like a fish fresh out of water; she was thrashing around furiously. "Miss Jerrett, long time no see. How come you've become so disheveled?"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Serene widened her eyes like she'd seen a ghost and turned her head to take a closer look...
It was Asa Donat?!
Serene looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, "How are you here? Aren't you still in prison? How could you be here?! Antonio couldn't have let you out this early! How did you get out?"
Asa looked at Serene with a smirk, "How I got out isn't important; what's important is, how did you end up like this? — Picking food from a garbage can, huh? You're just like a stray dog. Our high and mighty Miss Jerrett; how did you fall so low? Hahaha..."
Faced with Asa's undisguised mockery, Serene’s entire being filled with a furious indignation, and she pushed Asa Donat away forcefully, "What right does a rapist like you have to mock me? It doesn't matter if Antonio catches me, but it's different for you, isn't it? Have you forgotten how badly he beat you?"
After hearing Antonio's name, Asa gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear this man apart and eat his flesh.
Asa immediately tightened his grip on Serene's neck, pouring all his hatred for Antonio into this action, "Serene, do you have a death wish??"
Serene was starving right now; how could she have the strength to fight back against Asa’s grip?
Just when she thought she was going to die at Asa's hands, she heard the sound of footsteps slowly approaching.
The sound slowly came from behind Asa and finally stopped beside them. "Asa, let go."
Hearing this voice, Asa immediately let go of his hand and took a step back, bowing respectfully to the man, "Sir."
Serene knelt on the ground, coughing several times as a cold sweat broke out on her back.
The man slowly approached, " Miss Jerrett, it seems you've had a rough time."
It was a middle-aged man's voice. His voice was magnetic and carried an irresistible authority.
Serene was still kneeling on the ground, and in the faint light, she could see the leather shoes the man was wearing, which were made of the same high-quality leather as Antonio's usual shoes.
Asa said, "Serene, it was this gentleman who saved me from prison. It was also thanks to this gentleman's help that the bed photo that initially caused a rift between Antonio and Sarah could be completed. Today, this gentleman has come here to save you, so you better get up quickly!"
Asa referred to the middle-aged man as 'gentleman' with every sentence, showing an unusual level of respect.
This made Serene even more curious... Who on earth was this man?
She slowly lifted her head, her gaze moving gradually up from the man's leather shoes.
The sky was too dark, so she could only see that the man's hands were covered with a pair of black leather gloves, which were particularly noticeable in such an environment.
"Miss Jerrett, stand up. A lady shouldn't be so disheveled."
The man extended his hand towards Serene, clearly intending to help her up.
Asa saw this and wanted to help, but the man refused him.
Serene was somewhat frightened, but under such circumstances, she had no room to refuse.
She held the man's hand and stood up.
She then realized that the man was very tall, with her 5 foot ’5 height, she just reached his shoulder.
"Thank you."
Serene pretended to be gracious and lifted her head, finally getting a clear view of the man's face.
This glance, however, left her utterly shocked!
How... how could this be?!
The man obviously anticipated her reaction, and showed no sign of offense, instead, he smiled slightly in a self-satisfied manner, and opened his mouth to Serene like a ghost—
"I'll give you a chance to kill Sarah once again, but this time, Miss Jerrett, you can't be soft-hearted."
