CHAPTER 736: CHAPTER 736: LOCKED IN THE ICE CELLAR

Nora Northwood declined Elaine’s company and went alone to the hot spring.

The feeling of desolation surrounded her, such that even insignificant passersby couldn’t help but glance at her more than once.

Finally, a girl in work attire approached her, "Master Northwood, you’ve been standing here alone for a while now. How about I take you to tour our wine cellar?"

Faced with a young and lovely girl, people often learn to lower their guard and vigilance.

Nora’s feet had indeed grown numb from standing, so she gladly followed the girl to a different place for entertainment.

On the short journey to the wine cellar, the girl kept introducing the culture of the vineyard to Nora.

Nora thought she just wanted to leave a good impression for her boss.

There were people patrolling around the wine cellar.

It seemed like the winery owner treasured this place greatly.

As they were about to enter, the girl thoughtfully asked, "Master Northwood, the wine cellar has been specially treated, and the temperature will be somewhat lower than room temperature. Would you need an extra coat?"

"No need, I’m just taking a look."

With that, the two entered the wine cellar one after the other.

The wine cellar was much prettier than Nora had imagined, more like a large collection room.

The girl reminded again, "The paths inside are quite complex; you’ll need to stick close to me."

Nora’s expression changed slightly but quickly put on a smile, showing her white teeth and bright eyes, responding, "Okay."

She had always been lacking in direction sense.

The paths were indeed winding and convoluted, and before long, Nora suddenly asked, "Who told you to bring me here?"

The girl’s expression remained unchanged, "Master Northwood, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."

"You know my identity very clearly, so you should know the consequences of offending me."

"Heh." The girl let out a cold laugh through her lips and teeth, asking when Nora had figured it out.

"From when near the wine cellar, the security guards patrolled one batch after another, obviously, this place is important and not open for casual tours. And after we entered, we didn’t see another person, confirming my guess; the wine cellar isn’t open to outsiders."

The girl’s gaze was unwavering, saying, "No wonder you could steady the position of Sinclair Family’s mistress; your mind is quite clear. But what does that matter now? You’re already in my hands!"

The wine cellar everywhere was filled with bright, dazzling light, over time, creating an illusionary confusion.

"So, what is your next move?"

"Since you’re good at guessing, why didn’t you leave here the moment you figured it out?"

"From the moment you led me here, until now, no security guard has taken action to stop us, meaning you’ve arranged with them in advance. From the first step I took in here, I couldn’t leave."

The girl stepped closer and blocked the light from above.

A shadow pressed against Nora’s chest, followed by a colder grin, "There’s no need to waste words with someone who is doomed to die; you stay here and await your death."

"It’s not about wasting words; you’re worried about revealing clues to me."

This time, the answer to Nora was the boundless echo.

The girl’s figure vanished from the wine cellar, leaving Nora alone in the hundreds of square meters space.

Unsurprisingly, there was no signal or network reception here.

She could only hope that Elaine would come to save her soon.
