章節 49: Hunters

The car came to a halt near an empty sidewalk. Liora clenched her teeth as she dialed Cassie's number again, her knuckles trembling as she gripped her phone.

The line was silent, and after a few beeps, the call dropped. She glared at the phone, her eyes flashing with fury.

"Blocked again?" Marcus, asked, his voice tired as he glanced sideways at her.

Liora's lips were a tight line.

"She's blocked us. She must be keeping Eratz away from us on purpose, I knew it."

She threw the phone onto the dashboard, a frustrated growl escaping her lips.

Marcus sighed, rubbing his temples.

"We'll find him, Liora. We just have to keep trying."

Liora scoffed, crossing her arms.

"She's playing games, Marcus, but we won't stop. We need to know what's going on with that boy. We need him back. Without him, Kian and Lila won't get an opportunity to get into Genova Academy... Cassie is ruining everything."
