In that fateful moment, Brenda's voice echoed hauntingly in Sadie's ears, "Miss, stay...alive."

Simultaneously, the innocent cries of children pierced through the curtain of rain.

"Mommy, Mommy, we're waiting for you to come home."

Slowly, Sadie opened her eyes, her gaze meeting the spectral image of her father. He seemed to be looking down at her from the heavens, his silent plea resonating in her heart, "Sadie, you must live well." These three voices melded together, forming a potent force that propelled Sadie forward.

She blinked, her frail and limp hand gradually clenching into a determined fist.

Her desperate eyes reignited with a spark, a spark of undying hatred.

They wanted her dead, but she refused to succumb!

She was resolute in her decision to survive and make those who conspired against her pay dearly!

With an unyielding will to live, Sadie forced herself to crawl, inch by painstaking inch, to the right.

Amelia had left behind a cell phone, its screen still flashing ominously.

Struggling, Sadie crawled, leaving behind a crimson trail. Her once pristine wedding gown was now sullied with blood and mud...

But she paid it no mind. Nothing could quell her fierce determination to survive.

Finally, Sadie reached her destination. With a trembling, blood-stained hand, she picked up the phone that had been seared into her memory. She dialed the number!

Her father had once told her, when all hope seemed lost, to dial this number. The person on the other end would swoop in like a guardian angel. From then on, her life would take a new turn. A few busy tones echoed in her ears.

Finally, a low, masculine voice answered from the other end of the line, "Hello!"

"I, I am Eleanor's daughter; I'm in Chiang Mai. Save me, save me, save me!!"

With the last vestiges of her strength, Sadie managed to utter these words before her head fell heavily to the ground...

"There!" Jimmy rushed over with a doctor, "Sadie, Sadie, pull yourself together!"

The phone screen continued to flash until the ambulance ran over it, severing the connection.

The mobile screen shattered into a spider's web of cracks, completely destroyed.

The relentless rain continued to pour, the sky dark and foreboding, as if mirroring the unpredictability of life.

Inside the ambulance, Jimmy anxiously questioned the doctor in Thai, "How is she? Is she dead?"

"She's not dead yet, but her condition is critical. And the fat lady, she has no chance of survival."

Upon hearing this, Jimmy's face hardened, and he quickly made a phone call to relay the day's events.

The recipient of the call was shocked and immediately sought out Silas.

At that moment, Silas was engrossed in a discussion with Mr. Clemens Senior in the study, a cup of freshly brewed coffee in hand. A bodyguard rushed in, breathless, and reported, "Miss Roth is in trouble!"

"What?" Silas inquired anxiously, "What happened to her?"

"She was attacked, and Brenda was shot and killed; Miss Roth is critically injured, her life hanging by a thread."

The coffee cup in Mr. Clemens Senior's hand slipped, crashing to the ground. He urgently asked, "How did this happen? Who did it?"

"I don't know. Our informant, Jimmy, said it was an American woman, but we don't know her identity."

"Quickly." Mr. Clemens Senior immediately ordered Silas, "First, notify our people in Thailand to protect Sadie, then head to Thailand yourself."

"Yes!" Silas promptly set off to execute the orders.

Just then, another follower rushed in with more news, "Sir, Mr. Clemens has escaped and is now en route to the airport. He likely already knows about Miss Roth's situation." "What? How could this happen?" Silas' face paled.

"Didn't I have him drugged and locked in the basement? How did he escape?" Mr. Clemens Senior was on the verge of panic,"Quick, get to the airport immediately!" "Yes, Sir!"
