Chapter 553

Amber Barnes nodded cautiously. But when she turned her head, she saw that Sarah Knight had already opened the window and was ready to jump out. Panicking, she called out to stop her. "Wait! How am I supposed to contact you later? My phone's already gone!" Sarah tilted her chin slightly, gesturing toward the small device left on the table. It barely looked like a phone—more like a tiny square that fit snugly in half the palm. On its surface, there were only two buttons: one green, one red. "Press and hold the green button to call me directly. If there’s an emergency, hold down the red button, and my people will come to protect you," Sarah explained with a faint smile. With that, she grabbed the curtain and leaped out the window. Amber rushed over to the window, clutching the windowsill as she anxiously looked down. She caught a glimpse of a small car in the distance. Its engine hummed low as it melted into the dark of the night, vanishing quickly. Amber couldn’t help but smile softly.
