After eliminating the rooms where people couldn't possibly be hidden, they were opened one by one for inspection.
As they reached the top, Nicole Serene's heart pounded nonstop, fearing something might indeed go wrong.
Nicole was sure that Deano Zell was taken away by Helena Zell, if no one had helped him halfway through, he probably couldn't have run away by himself. Nicole was now convinced that Helena had spiked the drinks she offered.
The Door opened one by one, and with each opening, Nicole's heart trembled fiercely, her palm and back already clammy with sweat as if just fished out from water.
Only the last room suspected remained unopened; Deano Zell was nowhere to be seen in the previous rooms.
So, it was very likely he was in that last room.
Standing in front of the door, Nicole held Matilda Jenkins's hand tightly.
The Manager said, "There's only this last room left, should we... check?"
Nicole glanced at Scarlett Glenn and, gritting her teeth, said, "Open it..."
