Chapter 1731:
A thin trickle of blood already marked her pale skin.
“Nobody moves!” the robber exclaimed, his voice rough. “One step, and | slice her throat!”
Belinda paused immediately.
Her pulse hammered at her temples, and sweat soaked her blouse, chilling her skin.
The robber dragged Carola toward the door slowly.
Carola’s lips quivered, her eyes wide with terror. “Don’t mind me. Just save yourself,” she said to Belinda.
“Let her go!” Belinda’s words cut through the tension, steady despite the storm in her chest.
She edged left, forcing the robber to turn to face her.
She pressed on, her voice firm. “Release her, and take the jewelry. The police are coming. If you stay, you will
end up like your partners, eventually locked behind bars.”
“Quiet!” the robber roared, his grip tightening. The blade bit deeper, and a fresh stream of blood spilled from
Carola’s neck.

“Stop it!” Belinda’s shout rang with fury.

“You!” he bellowed, pointing at Bethany. “Stop, or I'll kill her now!”

“Get back here!” the robber spat, his voice thick with rage. His hand shook, the knife wavering slightly away
from Carola’s throat.

tilted just so by her, flashed a beam onto the robber’s face.
Now was the moment.
“The police are here!” Belinda suddenly shouted.
The robber instinctively turned his head, the light landing in his eyes, making him squint.
In that split second, Belinda acted. She flicked her foot, sending diamonds flying like tiny missiles toward his
wrist.
“Ah!” the robber yelped, the knife falling from his hand and clattering to the floor.
