My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Saving The Girls
Anastasia stood at the entrance of the CCTV room, her heart pounding like a drum in her chest. She clenched her fists, trying to steady her nerves. The dimly lit hallway felt suffocating, and every sound seemed louder than it should have been.

Julian could’ve easily placed one of his men there, but a man with a gun standing guard would’ve raised suspicion. If the buyers got even a hint of something unusual, they’d contact Xander immediately—and that was the last thing they needed.

Anastasia’s mind wandered back to Xander’s look-alike she’d seen just a while ago. Xander had only one lookalike, and that was Xavier. She felt slightly glad that he was there, so their operation was going to be smooth. She hopes.

Her tray was already empty, and she needed to go grab a few more glasses of wine before she brought unnecessary attention to herself.

She tapped on her earbuds and sent a message. After she got her response, she left the area and quickly went back to the kitchen.

Back at where Xavier was, Kace murmured in Xavier’s ears.

“I’ll go upstairs to look for the girls. They should be up there somewhere,” he said.

Xavier nodded in understanding. Kace took a glance around before he sneakily escaped the ground and left for the other rooms.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was in the kitchen when she suddenly received a task from Julian, asking her to go to the room the girls were in and assure them they were all going to be alright and not sold.

Anastasia carried her tray and left the kitchen before the woman from earlier who had questioned her about her purpose in the kitchen would sight her.

Before coming to Fameville, Julian had given her the map around the building, so Anastasia knew where the girls were placed.

Luckily, there was no security stationed on the way there so she didn’t have any questions that needed to be answered.

However, Anastasia’s gaze landed on a man standing in front of a door, his hand lingering on the handle as if he were trying to open it. The moment he noticed her, he quickly turned his back, hiding his face from view. Something about his movements struck her as odd. Was he just another buyer looking for the restroom? Or was there something more to his actions?

Anastasia hesitated, her instincts warning her to be cautious. Before disappearing up another flight of stairs, she threw him one last suspicious glance, her mind already working through the possibilities.

After the waitress had disappeared, Kace heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good she’s gone, now where could the girls have been kept?”

Anastasia hid behind the wall, her heart hammering against her ribcage as she popped her head to monitor the security men who were stationed in front of the room the girls were in, the room she was supposed to go in.

Quickly, she tapped on her earbuds.

“Three armed men are standing in front of the door. You need to send them away,” she informed Julian.

Julian zoomed in on the footage where Anastasia was hiding, while the armed men paced about while exchanging a few words with themselves.

“I completely forgot about them,” he mumbled under his breath. “They are Xander’s men, not mine. He must have sent them to watch things. I’ll send them away immediately.” Then he picked up his phone and made a phone call to one of the men. “There’s something suspicious happening on the first floor, I want all three of you to go take a look at the situation,” he said.

“All three of us?” One of them asked. “Shouldn’t at least one of us stay here and keep an eye out in case any girl tries to escape?”

“The door is locked right?” Without waiting for any of them to answer he continued, “Then you can leave. Check on the situation properly.”

“Yes, sir.”

Then he hung up on the phone.

When Anastasia saw the men heading her way, she quickly climbed back down then pretended to be serving drinks. When they passed her, she sighed in relief before heading back up.

Anastasia scanned around the place to be sure there were no more security guards.

Reaching into her pockets, she brought out the keys she needed and quickly unlocked the door.

The girls inside immediately started to whimper when they heard the door opening. As if there was someplace else to go, they scooted back until the walls were almost like a second skin.

“Please…” A girl said, tears streaming down her eyes uncontrollably. “Please don’t hurt us,” she added.

Anastasia felt a dagger prick her heart and her eyes started to water but now wasn’t the time to get emotional. She recognized a few girls there from the house she’d been caged in with Avery, and her heart wavered. They didn’t recognize her because of her outfit and appearance, but Anastasia knew for sure she wouldn’t want them to recognize her.

“You don’t need to worry. I’m here to save you. You’re not going to be sold to any of those pigs, do you understand me?”

The girls didn’t respond as they were still overwhelmed with shock. She tried taking a step towards them, but they responded by scooting back further, not like there was anywhere else to go.

Then Anastasia heard a voice in her ears.

“The trade will be starting in less than twenty minutes. I’m sending more of my henchmen there now so they can get the girls out of there. There’s a secret door on that same floor, that’s the door you will be using to help them escape, do you understand?” Julian asked and Anastasia nodded.

Realizing he couldn’t see her now, she replied, “I understand.”

Julian zoomed in on a particular figure through the footage.

“He’s also here,” he said looking at Xavier.

“I know.”

“Are you going to save us?” One of the girls asked.

“That’s right. All of you are going to get out of here safe and sound. I’ll make sure that nothing bad happens to either of you,” she assured.
