Chapter 404 My Chloe Zoeys timing was so perfect that I couldnt help but wonder if Carter had sent her .
The next second , she glanced my way , winking and furrowing her brows in quick succession .
Alright , she was here for me .
Since Carter couldnt approach me himself , he sent her instead .
Zoey had always been overly friendly , previously clinging to Whitney like theyd been lifelong friends .
As a new person in the circle with no connections , she didnt raise suspicions .
Even if the Carlyn brothers found her suspicious , they couldnt figure out her motives .
To be fair , neither could I.
Still , I had to thank her for the phone she had given Whitney earlier .
Without it , I wouldnt have been able to contact Carter so quickly this time .
Zoey was my lucky star .
Yael greeted her with a casual wave .
Mrs.
Pearson , here to see Whitney again ? Zoey nodded enthusiastically.
Thats right ! Theres a high end fashion show today , and I invited Whitney to come along .
Since shes getting married soon , she might find an even better dress .
Thank you , Mrs.
Pearson , Taylor interjected with a polite smile .
But Whitneys feeling unwell today and wont be able to go .
Of course , Taylor wouldnt let Whitney leave without permission , so he made up an excuse to decline .
Zoey shot back without missing a beat .
Is that so ? Are you her spokesperson ? She hasnt said a word how would you know she doesnt want to go ? I silently gave Zoey a thumbs up in my mind .
Girl , youre amazing ! Taylors usual tactics clearly didnt work on her .
Since her rebirth , Zoey had treated everyone as equals except for me , perhaps .
Even Carter had to give her some respect .
Watching Zoey radiating joy and confidence under the sunlight like a sunflower , I felt both happy and envious .
Even knowing her future held another untimely death , she embraced life to the fullest .
Unlike me , I am constantly weighed down by the past and the future .
Whitneys voice broke through my thoughts .
I want to go .
1/4 14:30 Mon , Dec 30 M Chapter 404 My Chloe She cut him off , meeting his threatening gaze with defiance .
I said , I want to go ! 69 % 1 +3 Pearls Whitney knew Zoey and I were on the same side .
Perhaps my presence had sparked a change in her she was beginning to resist .
The three of us had faced our tragedies , but through our pain , we slowly awakened and began to change .
Zoey , the once melancholy girl , was the first to recover Under Carters care , I was improving too .
Now , Whitney was the priority ..
Not only did I need to rescue her from this nightmare , but I also had to help her return to a normal girls life , to pull her out of the darkness .
Her rebellion against Taylor was a significant first step .
Taylor , accustomed to her compliance , was momentarily stunned by her sudden defiance .

In his brief hesitation , Zoey darted over and grabbed Whitneys hand .
I knew youd say yes ! Lets go ! With the Carlyn brothers watching , Zoey cheerfully led Whitney away without a care in the world .
Lquickly followed .
Whitney .
Zoeys unpredictable methods had completely caught Taylor off guard .
He hurried forward , blocking their path .
Zoey stepped in front of Whitney .
She said shes going Whats it to you ? If you keep this up , youll never find a wife , not even in the most remote village ! I nearly burst out laughing .
Id told her to stop binge reading novels late at night , but here she was , adopting the tone of a nagging grandma .
Could she at least respect the fact that this man had brutally dismembered me ? While I trod carefully around the Carlyns , she barged in , throwing punches left and right .
Clearly , she had yet to experience their brand of terror .
Whitney hesitated , then said softly , Id like to go to the fashion show , please ? Her pitiful demeanor tugged painfully at my heart .
Taylor finally relented .
Fine , Ill go with you .
Zoey wasted no time , dragging Whitney to her car and in one swift motion , pulling me in as well .
We girls will ride together .
You can take another car .
Before Taylor could respond , she shut the door and barked at the driver , Step on it ! Five cars from the Carlyns quickly followed .
Zoeys eves snarkled That was easier than I thought ! Whitney Im getting you out of here 2/4 Chapter 404 My Chloe +8 Pearls I knew it wouldnt be that simple the moment Taylor agreed .
Thoughts of Silas and Sheilas implanted chips crossed my mind .
Whitney had been with him for years .
She knew too much .
There was no way he relied solely on chains to keep her bound .
As I frowned , Whitney murmured , Its no use .
We cant escape .
Theres a chip implanted in me .
Its not just for tracking it can detonate .
Worse , he has planted bombs at the Sander residence .
If I run , my parents and brother will die … No wonder she had avoided getting too close to me despite my efforts .
After narrowly escaping past incidents , Josh and Kate had been turned into bait to control her .
She lived under such threats every day and yet she couldnt die .
She had no choice but to drift through life like a hollow shell .
My fists clenched tightly .
Zoeys smile faltered .
Does the chip have audio surveillance ? Can we talk safely ? Whitney shook her head .
Its an older implant it doesnt have that function .
I held Whitneys hand tightly as my heart ached for her She smiled faintly at me .
Its okay , Chloe .
Just being able to breathe fresh air makes me happy .
I gestured to ask her where the chip was .
She shook her head again .
I dont know .
It was implanted when I was very young .
Zoey , unable to hide her sorrow , cursed under her breath .
These psychos ! Whitney , youre too pitiful ! Then , turning to me , she smirked .
And you , Chloe .
You looked funny with that strangers face .
How could she manage to joke at such times ? Shes really carefree ! The next moment , Zoey called Carter .
Weve got her , but Whitney has a tracking chip .
We cant proceed with the original plan .
Carters calm voice came through the line .
Bring her to the venue .
Got it .
For now , Ill stay put .
Those Carlyns freaks are relentless .
Carters tone softened .
And her ? Is she with you ? She is , but she cant talk .
She looks so pitiful youll see for yourself .
Zoey switched the call to video and handed me the phone .
I mouthed , Carl .
Even without hearing my voice , he understood .
Though wed just seen each other the night before , I felt as if Id been through a lifetime without him .
Chloe dont be afraid Ill find a way to get you all out safely 3/4 14:30 Mon , Dec 30 Chapter 404 My Chloe I nodded .
When we arrived at the show , the Carlyn brothers and their bodyguards followed closely behind .
69 % +8 Pearls Zoey rolled her eyes .
Seriously ? Im not trafficking people here I just bought Whitney out for some fun .
Do you really need to hover this much ? Mrs.
Pearson , my apologies .
My fiancée has a weak heart and fragile health .
Im just protecting her .
We appreciate your kindness .
Whitney , come here , Taylor said .
Zoey clung to Whitneys arm .
Shes sitting with me in the front row .
I didnt buy your ticket , so you can stand in the back ! Taylor was dumbfounded .
I watched anxiously , half expecting Taylor to start imagining a hundred ways to dismember Zoey .
I signed that I needed to use the restroom .
Zoey waved casually .
Ill have someone take you .
She arranged for an escort , with Yael trailing a safe distance behind .
He could only wait for me outside .
Entering the last stall as planned , I pushed open the door and was immediately pulled into a strong embrace .
I crashed into his chest , wrapping my arms tightly around him .
Chloe , my Chloe … 108 In
