In fact, at that time, Lindsey was only able to escape because of Ginny Young's involvement. Ginny followed her fiancé and emigrated to Germany. She did not expect to meet Lindsey by chance at Liam Wilford's house.
Later, after she unintentionally learned of Liam's motives, Ginny helped Lindsey to escape. When Lindsey was chased by the Wilfords’ guards, she hid in a small dark alley.
After Lindsey returned, she only had a few phone calls with Ginny. She wondered if Ginny was still doing well.
"At that time, you seemed to be sleeping and leaning against the wall." Lindsey thought for a moment.
"I was recuperating. I had business to do at night and you ended up stepping on my stomach." Sieben rolled her eyes and added, "It kinda hurts."
Sieben was tied up so tightly, but she did not feel anything. On the contrary, she looked quite relaxed.
"You didn't seem to want to help me at the time." Lindsey carefully recalled. the young girl's indifferent eyes were vividly visible at that time.
Probably because the night of the escape was so thrilling that Lindsey could remember various details clearly.
"Well, it's just too much trouble." Sieben did not hide her indifference at that time. "I could sense the Wilfords’ psychosis from a street away. It would be troublesome to mess with them."
"But you still helped me." Although in the end, Lindsey did not manage to escape.
Sieben looked at the current Lindsey and thought back to the disheveled woman a year ago who had to gasp for breath after a few steps. Back then, Lindsey looked like she was going to fall apart at any moment.
People were chasing after Lindsey and she ran to a dead-end where Sieben was resting.
Looking back now, Sieben only remembered the desperation and desire for survival in Lindsey's eyes at the time. It was probably this look that made her step in to help Lindsey.
"I thought I had run into a dead-end, but I didn't realize that there was a small door hidden over there. People unfamiliar with that place probably wouldn't know about it. She hid me inside and waited until those people had left before letting me go."
At that time, Sieben did not speak to Lindsey. It was only at the end when Lindsey thanked her before leaving that Sieben said a phrase in a foreign language.
Sieben leaned back on the soft sofa and sighed comfortably. "Ahh...this is so comfy!"
"That's Hebrew. Only a few people in the world can speak it. It means wishing you peace." Sieben tilted her head. Her eyes were as calm as a child's.
"Then how do you know it?" Soren listened to the whole story and suddenly looked at Sieben in confusion.
"My adoptive parents spoke Hebrew. They taught it to me." Sieben did not care about his suspicion.
Soren's doubts were still not dispelled.
"I'm hungry." Sieben cried. "You guys went over all of a sudden. Unless the people inside the villa already knew of it and sent me out as bait, then expected me to follow you all the way back smoothly. Otherwise, if you suspect that I’m working for them, that’s just too ridiculous. If I was against you, I would’ve just shouted or revealed your hiding spot. Then, you might not even be alive right now."
Soren was exasperated with this wild child, but he had to admit that what Sieben said made sense. They attacked so suddenly at that time. It was his impromptu decision and he had not told anyone beforehand.
He looked at Lindsey, who nodded and said, "Forget it. Untie her and bring some food over."
"Let me just inform the President."
Zayn answered the phone within one second. His voice was a bit tense as he said, "What's wrong?"
"Young Madam is fine." Soren first reported Lindsey's safety, then briefly explained the situation over here.
"Treat her well, but don't let her near Lindsey," Zayn said.
"Okay."
Sieben was taken down by the maid to get cleaned up. Lindsey hesitated for a moment before asking, "When will Zayn be back?"
"The original plan was four days."
"Oh." Lindsey was thoughtful.
She thought, ‘When Zayn’s back, I’ll just confess everything to him.’
"Madam, Sieben might be very dangerous." After thinking about it, Soren still said to Lindsey uneasily.
Lindsey looked up at him. Her eyes were clear as she said, "Haven't you heard that it’s always better to give people the benefit of the doubt?"
Looking at Soren's speechless face, Lindsey suddenly understood why Sieben would tease him. That was because it seemed quite amusing.
"By the way, how is Wilford Corporation doing these days?" Lindsey thought of Liam Wilford and inevitably thought of Wilford Corporation.
"They’re almost under." Soren was brief and concise.
"Liam is definitely not someone who will just give up so easily. You should remind Zayn to be more careful."
"Okay."
Lindsey was thinking about Zayn, and Zayn was also worried about her. His heart had long flown back to her.
"President, it’s such a large-scale international transaction. Several corporations are very concerned. We actually have more options, so why..."
