Chapter 1215:
Margo wanted nothing more than to tear his filthy hands off her, but she forced herself to breathe and stay calm.
She had to hold it together. She needed time—because she believed someone had to be looking for her by now.
With that in mind, Margo let out a small snort and looked at Joziah with an innocent expression, as if she were giving in. “Wait a moment p>
Hearing that, Joziah—already intent on stripping her—initially assumed she was still resisting and didn’t pay attention. He wanted her, and he wanted her now.
Margo hurried to add, “Can you ask them to leave the room, Joziah? There are too many people here. It’s… overwhelming p>
At Margo’s request, Joziah glanced at the men in the room, a faint shift of emotion crossing his face.
“Please. Just the two of us. It would be more convenient, wouldn’t it?” Margo suggested.
Joziah nodded and ordered, “All of you, go stand guard outside p>
The bodyguards exchanged knowing looks before filing out. In an instant, only Joziah and Margo remained in the room.
“Then let’s continue,” Joziah said, closing the distance between them.
Margo’s pupils tightened. Forcing a smile, she pleaded, “Wait—just a little longer p>
Impatience flashed across Joziah’s face. He frowned. “What else do you want p>
“Can you untie me? It hurts,” Margo said, looking down at her bound wrists and ankles.
Seeing his hesitation, Margo pressed on quickly. “There are guards right outside. There’s no way I can escape. Besides, if I’m tied up, it’ll ruin the whole experience for you. Don’t you agree p>
It was as if she had read his mind.
After a brief pause, Joziah reached out and untied her hands and feet.

Margo stayed on the bed, rubbing her bruised wrists as she discreetly scanned the room.
Back at the lakeside—
“He’s waking up p>
Dunn slowly regained his hearing. He coughed up water and sucked in a sharp breath.
The chaos from moments earlier slammed back into his mind.
Where was Margo?
The instant he woke, he tried to find her—but there was no sign of her anywhere.
“Where is the woman who was with me? Have you seen her?” Dunn demanded, looking up at the restaurant staff in panic.
“We only found you in the water—no one else,” the restaurant manager replied, unease creeping into her expression. She immediately ordered the staff to search the lake again.
Dunn’s face turned ice-cold. He tossed aside the towel draped over him and stood up abruptly.
“Give me your phone,” he demanded.
