Female Novel
Chapter 2999
Hearing the manager say that, the attendant who initially considered calling the police had secondthoughts. After all, guests staying in their rooms had to cough up a hefty deposit, and once theirexpenses ran dry, they would be notified to replenish the deposit.
Therefore, when that guy got taken away, the hotel would not lose any money.
"If that guy doesn't come back by tomorrow, just go ahead and check him out," instructed the manager.
"Yes, sir." The attendant nodded, jotting down the manager's words.
After being forcibly placed in the car, Silas was terrified.
He was sandwiched between two men in the back seat. There were also people in the driver's andpassenger seats, but he did not recognize any of them.
Silas was utterly horrified. He never expected his first time riding in a luxury car to turn out like this. Heeven forgot to scream.
Moreover, the car had excellent soundproofing. He knew even if he screamed, no one would come tohis rescue.
Silas regretted not letting those people continue to protect him during this period. At least he would notbe taken away like this by unknown people.
"Who are you? Why are you kidnapping me?" Silas asked in fear, his frail body trembling.
No one answered his question.
Silas could feel the tightness around his hands. Only then did he realize that the man on his right hadtied his hands!
He struggled for a while but could not break free.
"Do you know who's behind me? Let me go. If you guys let me go, I won't hold you responsible. Myfamily has connections with the police station!" Silas, in a moment of desperation, tried to make themfear him.
The four men in the car burst into laughter when they heard him.
The man on his left patted his head. "Connections? We don't know how much influence you have.Behave yourself. Stop making noise, or else..."
The man's eyes darkened as he bent down. He took off his shoes and socks.
"What the heck? Why are you taking off your shoes?" The man on Silas' right immediately covered hisnose.
"To stuff this guy's mouth with it," replied the man. He ominously warned Silas, "If you utter anotherword, I'll stuff this sock into your mouth."
Silas shuddered. He caught a whiff of a strange smell, similar to the odor of his clothes before.
If it were his own clothes, he could tolerate it. However, when it came to someone else's socks, hefound them smelly, and he could not bring himself to utter another word.
The man snorted, putting his socks and shoes back on to avoid disturbing the others in the car."Consider yourself lucky. You're being taken to see our boss now. It's about half an hour's drive, so shutup while we're on the way.
"Otherwise, I'll personally deal with you when we get there!"
The man was not foolish. He refrained from doing anything in the car, considering it was a sedan.Traffic surveillance could capture the scenes inside the car.
In case Silas sought revenge later, having those videos as evidence would not be ideal.
Silas wanted to ask who their boss was, but he hesitated.
At the thought of the stench of the socks, he clenched his teeth and endured it. He nervously watchedthe car move forward.
Half an hour later, the sedan stopped in front of a standalone villa.
Silas widened his eyes when he saw the villa. He originally thought he would be taken to anabandoned warehouse or a run-down building, but it turned out these people brought him to a villa.
Suddenly, he became more convinced of his own thoughts.
"Is your boss Karen Ruiz?" Silas asked with a trembling voice when he was pushed out of the car.
The two men standing behind him exchanged glances with each other. They shared the same thought.This guy might not be that dumb after all if he knew who was causing trouble for him.novelbin
"Why all the fuss? Get in!" The man shoved him.
Silas, who was caught off guard, stumbled and nearly fell.
However, he was secretly thrilled.
He suspected that Karen wanted to cause trouble for him, and that was why she sent people to kidnaphim.
However, he changed his mind when he saw the villa in front of him.
Perhaps it was not about making things difficult for him?
Who would bring him to a villa like this if they wanted to look for trouble with him? Maybe this wasKaren's residence. Did she bring him here for a reunion?
After all, Karen loved him passionately back then. She was willing to give herself to him even beforemarriage, and she agreed to elope with him as well.
Even though some unexpected events happened after that, Silas believed that Karen still loved him.
That was why she had him brought to this villa.
Unable to contain his excitement, Silas began to regret it. If he had known Karen wanted to see him, hewould have dressed better to look more handsome. He was just wearing a hotel bathrobe now...
He had already started fantasizing about the scene when he would meet Karen again.
The two men exchanged another glance with each other, wondering why he had that mysterious smileon his face.
They watched him stand there with a silly smile on his face as he stared at the villa. One of the mencould not help but kick him. "What are you staring at? Get inside!"
Then, the door to the villa swung open.
Silas' mind was now filled with thoughts of Karen.
His romantic relationship with her was the most successful aspect of his life. Thus, he had beenflaunting it for decades. Even though the others did not believe him, he repeated the story over andover, reliving the memories.
Furthermore, he heard that since Karen's man cheated on her and had an affair with another woman,she had not divorced or remarried. It seemed like there had not been any other man in her life, and shehad remained chaste.
She had been keeping herself pure for him, right?
Hence, the rough behavior of the two men behind him did not bother him at all.
With these thoughts in mind, Silas walked inside with his head held high.
Even though it was the Mallory family's second estate, there were always professional gardeners andcaretakers tending to the villa. The front yard boasted blooming flowers and meticulously shaped trees.
Silas could not help but secretly exclaim that this was a wealthy person's home, indeed.
He had this illusion that he could move into a place like this right away. Hence, he briskly walkedforward, not even caring about his bound hands.
The two men behind him exchanged glances with each other, mocking him in disbelief.
He was about to get a beating. How could he still be all cheerful and excited?
Could it be a misunderstanding?
"I take back what I thought about him being smart just now." One of the men could not help butcomment. This guy was gearing up for a beating, yet he was looking all cheerful. It was trulyperplexing.
Could it be that he thought their boss would go easy on him? Their boss would prefer tearing this guyinto pieces if given the chance!
"Same here. Is this guy out of his mind or what?" replied the other man. He quickened his pace tocatch up with him.
