Female Novel
Chapter 258
Sage immediately recognized the lanky figure as the man who had covered her face with a cloth. Upon realizing she was awake,he chuckled and called out, "Sir, she's awake."
As he spoke, he inched to the side to make way for someone else. Soon, they heard a flurry of footsteps as a man with a beerbelly and wearing a dark jacket entered the dilapidated room.
Seeing Benjamin walk in surprised Sage. She couldn't help but wonder, "Shouldn't he be under police questioning? Why is hehere?"
Her heart sank. Benjamin harbored a grudge against her and had even gone as far as sending his men to warn her previously.Moreover, lan had taught him a lesson, which likely deepened his animosity toward her. Now that she was in his clutches, sheknew he wouldn't go easy on her.
“Wow, you look even better in person than in photos,” Benjamin remarked with a malicious gleam in his eyes. "Shall | addressyou as Sage or Mrs. Holcomb?"
This was Sage's first time speaking directly to Benjamin. He looked disheveled compared to the last time she saw him at thehotel.
His hair was unkempt, and a bald patch was visible. His jacket was creased and stained at the sleeves. He looked nothing like asuccessful businessman.
After scrutinizing him for a moment, Sage tried to reply calmly, “It doesn't matter. Call me whatever you like."
Upon hearing this, he arrogantly ordered his subordinate, "Help Mrs. Holcomb up. How could you let her speak to me while lyingon the ground?”
The lanky man hurried over and dragged her over, attempting to force her to kneel in front of Benjamin. Feeling humiliated, Sageresisted against the fierce-looking man, who didn't bother to handle her gently. She had no choice but to let herself be thrown infront of Benjamin, falling onto her knees.
The cold, hard concrete floor caused her knees to ache. Her arms were bound behind her back, making it impossible to move.
Benjamin scanned her from head to toe, relishing in her plight as he let out a mocking laugh. "What's so special about lanHolcomb's wife? She's in my grasp in the end.”
"Why have you brought me here, Mr. Xenith?" Sage attempted to conceal her fear.
"Why, you ask? You little bitch—you landed me in this situation! | sent my men to warn you, didn't I? But you ignored my warning,and I'm not going to let that slide!"
Sage was well aware of Benjamin's pariah status in the industry. His reputation had been tarnished beyond repair.
Facing potential imprisonment, he had nothing left to lose. She knew better than to provoke a man at his breaking point.
