“It’s the GW Group again.” The thought of them gave me goosebumps. If Ashton had been more adamant with Sean back then, I’d be the one missing now.
Marcus’ head was still hanging low. “I’ve been searching for them in M Country for the past two weeks but to no avail. I wonder how they’re doing now…”
I was lost for words. The GW group must’ve kidnapped Camelia and her child as leverage. It was just a matter of time till they get in touch with Marcus. And by then, Marcus could only yield to them.
What Ashton said was true. The GW group was callous and brutal.
Seeing how Marcus was mentally disheveled, I decided to let him mull over a bit. I got up and went to the kitchen.
“Have some water. You have to take good care of yourself in order to get them back.” I handed him the cup.
Instead of taking a sip, he plonked it on the table and grabbed my wrist in a flash. I quickly waved my other hand towards the bodyguards to show them that it was alright.
“Scarlett.” Marcus looked earnestly at me in despair. “I’ve never ever begged you for anything. Could you help me out this time?”
“Yes, Marcus. I’ll send someone to look for them. Camelia is just like a sister to me. If the situation permits, I’ll look for them myself!” I’d do anything for Camelia, my bestie.
Marcus seemed disappointed with my offer and turned his head away. “That’s not what I’m talking about.”
“Then, what do you want?” Right, Marcus could obtain a bigger search team with a phone call and needn’t come here personally. It must’ve been something else for him to risk his life. The bodyguards almost locked him up in the basement, assuming that he was a hitman.
