Chapter 164
Let s see if we can climb out Winifred said glancing around to check their surroundings
Amber shook her head. “It’s way too deep and slippery, and it’s still raining. There’s no way we’re getting out of here.”
Don t bother trying You re not getting out of here just wait here to die Soon you ll hear a loud boom and that ll be Sienna dying before you With a laugh Jocelyn s voice echoed from above dripping with malice
Winifred clenched her fists furious She dragged Sienna into this too Why Why did she have to pull her in God damn Jocelyn Turner she thought her heart burning with anger
So Are you excited Thrilled I m sending you three sisters to reunite in the underworld Too bad Vivian slipped away and ran off abroad Jocelyn taunted her voice full of mockery
Before Jocelyn could finish her crazed rant Amber screamed again There was a loud bang Winifred raised her gun and shot Jocelyn right in the head as she poked her head out
You you killed her Amber stammered She couldn t see what happened but with Jocelyn s voice suddenly gone she knew for sure Jocelyn was
dead.
Jocelyn had gambled everything, brazenly stealing money from the criminal underworld and hatching this insane plan. Even if she survived Winifred, there was no way she’d escape the mob’s blade. And anyway, Sienna never intended for her to walk away alive.
“If I didn’t kill her, what–wait around for her to kill you instead?” Winifred retorted.
Winifred’s words left Amber completely at a loss. She ducked her head, anxiety gnawing at her. ‘She wouldn’t actually kill me, too… right?‘ she fretted, her heart thumping wildly.
Winifred could see right through her Seriously Does she just have to show her mind on her face What an idiot she thought
What are you sneaking glances for I have zero interest in morons Killing you would just stain my gun Stay away from me Winifred snapped
Hey Amber fumed stomping her foot in anger only then did she notice the water in the pit was rising fast Panic flickered across her face Is this really how I m going to die she thought her heart pounding
Get on my shoulders and see if you can reach the edge Winifred said
Amber glanced up at the distance and shook her head No way It s too far I already measured even if we stack up we still can t reach
Winifred snapped Just get on my shoulders Hurry up
Amber grudgingly stepped on to Winifred s shoulders letting her support her weight I told you it wouldn t work but you wouldn t listen Look there s still a huge gap up there How are we supposed to get out
Winifred handed her a small knife. “Dig out the dirt and make yourself some steps to climb on.”
Amber hesitated But
No but s If you want to live just do as I say Once you re out pull me up too Winifred said
Winifred shouted over the pouring rain. If this kept up, neither of them would make it out alive. They had to find a way to escape before the pit filled up
with water
Amber finally nodded Alright
Amber had only just started digging when she suddenly felt Winifred wobble beneath her–her footing almost gave out as Winifred staggered.

Chapter 164
Are you okay Amber asked a hint of worry in her voice
Winifred gritted her teeth. “I’m fine. This can’t kill me.”
One of her legs had gotten caught in a trap but luckily she was quick enough to keep it from snapping her bone
I ll stay down here and you dig Amber suggested
But before she could even finish Winifred cut her off No You re way too scrawny to hold me up
Amber bristled crouched down and slid along the pit wall Who are you calling scrawny Come on get on my shoulders
Amber quit talking crazy We don t have time for this the rain s coming down even harder Winifred snapped urgency in her voice
45%
I m not the one talking crazy here you are Amber shot back It s obvious you re way more skilled than I am If you stand on my shoulders and dig we ll get out of here way faster I don t have the strength so I ll stay down here
Winifred had nothing to say to that she had to admit Amber was right
“Just hold steady , I’m going up,” Winifred said.
Amber nodded Go ahead step on me I didn t finish a whole big pizza for lunch for nothing
Winifred snorted For someone so tiny you sure can pack it away
Oh will you shut up already You re the one who can pack it away Amber shot back
Winifred was speechless Is that seriously all you know what to say in a fight
She thought helplessly What an idiot
