As I was thrown into the coffin , my back slammed hard against the base . The coffin was so narrow I could barely breathe . My field . of vision shrank instantly . Once I calmed myself down , I spotted Ruth standing outside the coffin , looking at me with a triumphant smile . " It's been two minutes . Where are your parents ? If they're really pissed off , shouldn't I at least hear something by now ? What , are they mice ? Only brave enough to squeak from the gutters ? " Just as she spoke , the tracker she had taken from me lit up . Then , Dad's voice came through . " Are you somewhere you can talk , Claudia ? " I gave a grunt of affirmation , and his tone turned serious . " Your location shows you're at the Hartvania Hotel . How many abductors are there ? The police and I are on our way now . Just hang tight and stay put . " Glancing at Ruth's stunned expression , I icily said , " Dad , tell them to come straight to the main hall . My tracker's with the people who abducted me . " Seizing the opportunity , I yanked the tracker out of her hand and quickly explained the situation . " Sebastian said that people so much as exist in Hartvania just because he let them . They're planning to seal me inside a coffin now . " There was a loud bang on the other end , followed by Dad's furious roar . " Where the hell is Sebastian ? Put him on ! " That snapped Ruth out of it . She scoffed icily and snatched the tracker back . " Who do you think you are , you dumb old man ? You don't deserve to talk to Seb ! " Dad was stunned for a second before turning even more livid . " Sebastian Lambert , get your people away from my daughter ! Don't you dare dump that kind of trash around her again ! Or are things going way too well for the Lamberts lately ? " Frustrated at being ignored , Ruth dodged my hand and ordered someone to pin me back down . Her eyes gleamed like a sly , venomous snake , her gaze seemingly piercing through the tracker . " I'm the long - lost daughter of the Schneiders . I'm the one marrying Sebastian instead . As for your broke little daughter , I'll bury both of you together once you're here ! " Dad was puzzled . " Claudia's my only daughter . What do you- " Before he could finish speaking , Ruth smashed the tracker hard onto the ground , and his voice vanished . I heard her speaking coquettishly to Sebastian . " I've taken care of everything , Seb . They'll tear this place down , and we'll hold our wedding somewhere else . " He praised her proudly . " My Ruth's all grown up . You're capable of helping me share the workload now . I'll have my assistant inform the guests of the new location . Change into your gown first . " Their conversation amused me . If angering his biggest investor was considered " sharing the workload , " then Sebastian was even 1/2 +25 Bonus more useless than I thought . As they were about to close the lid on the coffin , I gave my final warning . " Mr. Lambert , you'd better let your grandpa know what went down today . " Just in case he beat Sebastian to death himself . Ruth glared at me upon hearing my words . She slammed the lid shut . " Oh , please , calling for backup now ? Don't you worry . I'm Grandpa's favourite . Even if I do kill you , it's nothing a bit of money can't fix . " His favorite ? Not much for longer . As the darkness consumed me , I found myself smirking . It wasn't long before a blaring alarm shook the entire hall . The coffin lid flew open , and a SWAT team in full gear pulled me out . I looked around . Several sniper lasers had zeroed in through the windows , hovering over Sebastian's and Ruth's faces . Outside , the clatter of guns being loaded rang out , while two helicopters circled overhead .
