Chapter 346 Traitor
“Why would I lie to you?” Lauren looked at Gizem unhappily. She was feeling a little guilty.
Gizem chuckled coldly. “You’ve really regressed over the years.”
Lauren froze.
“The people from my organization told me that you are an expert at black magic. As it turns out, apart from the lovebug you cast on Samuel and Yareli, you’re not good at much else,” Gizem said with a half-smile.
“Don’t you dare look down on me. I’m much better than you!” Lauren glared at her angrily.
However, Gizem merely responded with a smirk.
She was better, but she wasn’t useful to the organization.
Gizem found it funny.
At this point, Lauren’s anger was rising.
Gizem took a look at the time and realized it was almost time.
She beckoned for Lauren to come over.
Lauren frowned. “What?”
“You said you would cooperate with me, right? Come over,” replied Gizem with a faint smile.
Lauren hesitated for a moment before walking over. She murmured, “What are you up to?”
As she went over, Gizem ordered, “Turn around.”
Lauren was shocked. In a displeased tone, she asked, “Are you f*cking with me?”
“Hurry up!” Gizem barked coldly.
Lauren was unhappy, but she still did as she was told.
She wrapped her arms around her elbows. “I don’t know what you’re trying to do. If you were on your own, perhaps you could escape. However, you’re carrying a child now, so there’s no way—”
Before she could finish speaking, Gizem slammed a flower vase into Lauren’s head.
“Ouch!” Lauren yelled and fell to the floor.
Gizem threw the vase in her hand onto the floor. “Finally, some peace and quiet.”
She was extremely annoyed.
Lauren wasn’t usually this chatty.
Beside her, Desi clapped her hands. “Mommy, that was great!”
Gizem smiled. “Cool, huh? I’ll teach you next time.”
Desi nodded vigorously.
Then, Gizem squatted down and searched Lauren’s body. She took out the key to the speedboat.
After that, she picked up Desi and ran outside.
They ran to the back of the kitchen.
There was a pickup truck stopped there.
It was mainly used to transport goods.
Gizem sat Desi down in the front passenger seat.
Then, she got into the car too.
However, there were no keys in the truck.
Left with no choice, Gizem had to revert to the old-school technique of hot-wiring the truck.
Eventually, the engine started to turn on.
She drove the truck out of the mansion.
Bang!
Suddenly, Gizem heard a gunshot behind her.
There was no time for her to think. She could only slam her foot on the gas pedal and sped up their pace.
Up ahead, there were people blocking them as well.
However, they seemed to be shocked by the speed of the truck and didn’t dare to come too close.
Just like that, Gizem sped along to the port.
As expected, there was a white speedboat parked there.
Gizem parked the truck right in front of the boat.
She carried Desi down and got onto the boat.
Meanwhile, Theodore and the others were acting quickly as well.
Gizem hurriedly started the speedboat.
This was her first time operating something like this, and she had no experience whatsoever. As soon as she started the engine, the speedboat launched forward.
Bang! Bang!
More gunshots sounded from behind them.
Gizem told Desi to crouch down and not come up until told otherwise.
Bang!
Gizem groaned.
She reached up to touch her shoulder.
That was when she realized she had been shot.
Regardless, she knew she couldn’t stop.
If she did, they would be captured again.
Gizem knew that both she and Desi would suffer horrible consequences if they were recaptured.
Desi could see that Gizem was injured. Her beige coat was dyed red by the blood.
The sight of it scared Desi so much that she burst into tears.
Gizem comforted her by saying, “Desi, be good. Don’t be afraid. Close your eyes. We’ll be safe soon.”
Desi nodded and shut her eyes tightly. However, she still couldn’t help but keep crying.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of the gunshots was getting nearer to them.
Gizem could see that multiple speedboats were surrounding them from all directions.
They were trapped in the center.
Theodore was on one of the speedboats as well.
When Gizem realized that she couldn’t escape, she had no choice but to stop the boat.
Theodore hopped onto her boat.
He was holding a gun. Without hesitation, he shot Gizem in the leg.
Gizem gritted her teeth but made not a single sound, shielding Desi behind her.
Meanwhile, Theodore was furious. “You dare to betray me?”
In response, Gizem sneered. “Betray? I was never your apprentice. How can this be a betrayal?”
Theodore paused for a moment as his gaze turned icy. “You got your memory back?”
Gizem shook her head. “Thanks to you, I merely became more suspicious about what’s been happening around me.”
Theodore was shocked. “What do you mean?”
“For example, you rarely use silver needles. You’re also an expert at poison. On the other hand, I am more skilled at saving lives.” As she spoke, her gaze was sharp.
“Hah! Even when you’ve lost your memories, I still can’t fool you.” Theodore snorted.
Gizem tore off the hyper-realistic face mask that she was wearing. “Back then, you told me that I underwent plastic surgery because I was disfigured. You claimed you chose to model me after that woman, Kathleen, because you thought she was pretty. Later on, another doctor told me that my face wasn’t that badly burnt at all. You lied to me because you didn’t want me to get suspicious about my identity.”
“You even went to see a doctor?”
Theodore was surprised, as prior to this, everything Gizem did was in the palm of his hands.
Right now, it was getting harder and harder for Gizem to stand upright.
She squatted down with her back leaning to the side. With a cold laugh, she said, “Master, your glory days are over. Do you have any idea how many traitors you have by your side?”
Theodore was stunned silent.
Gizem continued to look coldly at him. “I want to know the reason why.”
After a pause, Theodore smirked. “I will never tell you.”
“Haha. Then you will never know who the traitors in your organization are.”
“I’ll investigate it on my own. Oh, Gizem. It’s such a pity. You are so smart. If only you were my apprentice. It’s unfortunate that another man is your master.”
“What man are you referring to?” Gizem asked puzzledly.
The murderous intent in Theodore’s eyes surged. “Why don’t you ask Satan when you get to hell?”
Gizem bit her lip and shut her eyes.
She had done all she could.
Bang!
A gunshot sounded.
Beside her ear, Gizem could hear Desi screaming.
Gizem thought that she was dead.
However, she didn’t feel any pain.
She opened her eyes and saw two people holding onto Theodore, who had taken a bullet to the chest.
However, the bullet hole was nowhere near his heart.
“Take me away!” ordered Theodore.
The men immediately helped Theodore back to the speedboat beside them and sped off.
The other speedboats started to retreat as well.
Gizem had no idea who was here.
She kept her gaze fixed on the deck of the speedboat.
Soon enough, a tall figure leaped onto the boat.
When he saw Gizem, his entire body froze.
“Desi, your daddy is here.” At this point, Gizem was starting to lose consciousness.
“Mommy, don’t die!” Desi held onto her and sobbed.
“Kate!” Samuel walked over.
Gizem stared at him dazedly. She whispered, “Your daughter is fine.”
After that, she passed out.
Samuel held her in his arms. Pain flooded his handsome face.
She still hasn’t recovered her memories.
“Daddy, is Mommy going to die?” Desi was sobbing uncontrollably.
Samuel held onto Kathleen tightly. “No.”
