SWNOVELS Chapter 35
ble.
The terror of the darkness made her feel as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, struggling in vain to escape.
It wasn’t until this moment that she realized she had bumped into an even bigger and more troublesome jerk than Josef!
Scared out of her wits, she broke out in cold sweat, and her legs went weak.
With her eyes covered and hands tied, she had completely lost the initiative!
The only thing she could do now was to calm down and try to communicate with him.
“Sir,” she clenched her teeth and asked with a trembling voice, “what the hell are you trying to do?”
The man didn’t answer, but instead lifted her up.
Eleanor felt herself being lifted into the air, and then thrown onto a soft bed.
She thought the man would violate her, but he didn’t lay a finger on her. Instead, he sat next to her.
Feeling the bed sinking nearby, Eleanor guessed she was lying right in the middle.
She remembered hiding a dagger behind the pillow. As long as she managed to move towards the pillow, she could get the
dagger and cut the ropes.
She immediately used the strength of her legs to move her body upwards.
Just as her head was about to touch the pillow, the man suddenly pressed her down.
She felt his weight on top of her, and then his hoa rse voice sounded in her ears.
“You invited Josef to the hotel and drugged his drink. What’s the meaning of this?”
Eleanor froze.
Wasn’t he supposed to be carrying out a perfect crime? Why was he asking something that had nothing to do with him?
Could it be that Josef saw through her plan and sent this man to probe her intentions?
No way!
Considering Josef’s personality, if he had known she wanted to kill him, he would’ve probably chopped her up and fed her to the
dogs long ago.
“It’s just a stimulant.”
She forced herself to appear calm.
She had no idea who this man was, and there was no way she’d tell him the truth.
He seemed to sneer, “Role–playing and drugging – seems like you guys have some pretty wild fun.”
Seeing that he believed her, Eleanor immediately pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Her silence seemed to infuriate him, and her chin was suddenly grabbed by an ice–cold hand.
Just as Eleanor wondered if he was trying to crush her jaw, the phone rang...
The eerily quiet atmosphere was instantly shattered.
He released her chin and picked up her cellphone instead.
Sensing that he wanted to answer the call, Eleanor hurriedly pleaded, “It’s Mr. Caporal’s call, he needs me urgently. Can I please
take it?”
Seeing her panicked expression, his hoa rse voice suddenly turned cold, “Are you worried he’ll find out about your cheating?”
“No!”
Desperate inside, Eleanor still tried to control her emotions, “Please, just let me answer this call. If I don’t, my friend will be in
trouble. After this call, I’ll do whatever you want!”
Her constant pleading made the man slightly relax.
Eleanor thought he would untie her, but instead, he only answered the call and turned on the speaker.
Before she could say anything, Josef’s cursing came through loud and clear from the other side.
“Eleanor, you da mn bi tch, how dare you deceive me! You better believe me when I say I’ll make sure your friend and her
husband die on, their wedding night!”
His voice, filled with rage and resentment, seemed eager to tear her apart.
Terrified, her heart pounding, yet concerned about Hailey and Austin, Eleanor quickly composed herself and politely spoke, Mr.
Caporal, I was just about to give you the address. You called right when I was about to. I’m at Jade Bay Hotel, room 2088,
waiting for you. Please hurry.”
Furious, Josef gritted his teeth, “I’ve already sent someone to Hailey’s wedding room. If I don’t see the contract when I arrive at
the hotel, I’ll have them deal with them immediately have the woman raped then killed, and the man cut into pieces. Is that
clear?”
