Chapter 317: The plan
Betty’s gaze was dead, "you want to go after Hope." Abrielle said as a matter of fact. Betty’s hands clenched her lips sealed she didn’t have to say it for Abrielle to know she was right
"But you know that is risky. I don’t think Hope would want you going after her. If you manage to escape, it would lead to both of your deaths." Abrielle explained, her eyes staring straight at Betty.
"I don’t care, Hope doesn’t deserve to die. I was the one who met Lawrence and accepted his offer to go to Vitalis after our parents warned us against the guide. Hope warned me not to, but I insisted. She followed with the hope of getting me to change my mind, but in the end, Lawrence turned out to be a slave trade agent."
Guilt was eating Betty up. The type she would never be able to live with unless she saved Hope. She might not be able to face her parents ever again even if there is a slight chance.
"What are the chances that when we leave here she will be alive? Your parents deserve to see at least one child alive even if they might not like your decision." Abrielle explained.
"That is for me to decide." Hope stated. "So what is the plan?" She repeated.
"First, we need Intel to know what lies beyond the gates," Abrielle stated.
"How are we going to do that?" Another girl asked, and then everyone was pushed into their thoughts. The cellar was quiet, even the sounds of water dripping off the walls echoed. They whispered among themselves.
"I know a way to get the information. Most of us do." An older slave announced she was in the cell before Abrielle’s cell close to the metal door. Abrielle walked up to the bars to catch a glimpse of the girl.
