Early in the morning.
Cliffcouls in Aurous Hill.
Carmen, who had lost at least five to seven kilograms, was empty-handed as she walked out from a dark alley.
Five minutes ago, Albert's subordinate had opened her room door and told her that she could leave now.
At that moment, Carmen could only cry bitterly.
She had already had enough of this cold, shabby, dark, and humid place called Cliffcouls in Aurous Hill.
After staying in this tattered place for so many days, there was a cheap and musty smell that was lingering all over her body, and this made her feel sick and disgusted all the time.
In truth, she could have already left this place earlier, but Charlie had delayed her departure date and kept her here for another seven days past the original deadline that they had agreed upon for absolutely no reason at all. 5
In fact, since it was already early in the morning now, this meant that Charlie had kept her here longer than the deadline that they had agreed on once again.
However, Carmen had already learned her lesson, and she knew how to behave herself this time. She did not
dare to yell at Charlie or even the men who had been guarding and keeping watch over her.
So, as soon as she received permission to leave, Carmen did not even think about anything else, and she simply stepped out of the door as soon as she could.
After running out of the house, Carmen suddenly realized that she did not know where else she could g o when it was already so late. 5
She wanted to return to Eastcliff immediately, but there would not be any available flights at this time. If she were to arrange for the Wade family’s private jet to come all the way here from Eastcliff, it would take at least two to three hours to arrive in Aurous Hill. So, where could she go within these two or three hours?
As she thought about this, Carmen immediately called Isaac.
Carmen cried as she said, "Dad! That little b*stard, Charlie has finally released me! However, I have no way to return to Eastcliff now. That b*stard, Isaac Cameron, also turned off his cell phone. Can you hurry up and make the arrangements for one of our private jets to come and pick me up here?” 2
Jeremiah replied, "Oh, is it already the day that Charlie has agreed to let you go? Why don’t you do this, then? Take a taxi to the airport first, and I will arrange for a private jet to go there to pick you up."
Carmen choked up as she said, "Dad! You cannot possibly be asking me to take a taxi to the airport by myself, right? I have never taken a taxi before in my whole life. Those taxis are all so old and broken. The entire car is not even as valuable as the tires on my own car. Furthermore, all sorts of people have sat inside those cars before. It is so dirty!" 7
Jeremiah replied helplessly, "Carmen, you are in a special situation right now. You have already lived in the dirty and messy Cliffcouls for so many days, but you are still afraid of taking a taxi?" 3
Carmen burst into tears as she said, "Dad, I came to Aurous Hill because of your request this time, and I have already faced the worst kind of hardships and difficulties that I have ever experienced in my life because of this..." 3
Jeremiah felt that he was having a headache because of this, and he said, “Alright, alright. You can just speak nicely if you have anything to say. You are already an adult, so you should not be crying whenever something happens to you. Crying will not help you solve any of your problems." 3
After he was done speaking, Jeremiah yawned before he said weakly, "Sigh. I am really very tired and sleepy. I am already a very old man, and if I do not sleep well, it will affect my health and body greatly. S o, I will not continue talking so much with you anymore. You should take a taxi to the airport. I will g o back to bed first." 9
