Chapter 196
“Tsk! Why are you such a coward? She’s just an ordinary woman and can’t do anything. You’re
worrying too much.” Louis clicked his tongue a few times and cast a sidelong glance at Wilhem
As they stood guard in the abandoned garage, they engaged in idle chatter while waiting for Abby, all
the while Pearl remained silent. However, Abby still hasn’t shown up, and this worried them.
“Is she okay? What’s taking her so long?”
“Nonsense! Just behave yourself.”
They started to curse under their breath, worried that they’d have kidnapped Pearl in vain if Abby had
suddenly changed her mind, and they’d end up empty-handed.
Suddenly, a rhythmic knock echoed on the door, three long knocks followed by two short ones-clearly
their predetermined
code. Beaming, they eagerly opened the door.
Abby, disguised with glasses and a mask, quickly entered the room. After a quick scan of her
surroundings, she snickered when she found Pearl lying awkwardly on the floor.
“Oh, Pearl. I didn’t expect you’d end up like this one day.”
Pearl, unruffled, couldn’t help but chuckle at Abby’s disheveled appearance. “It’s only been a few days.
Why do you look ten years older, Miss Abby? You’re quite audacious to kidnap me. Aren’t you worried
that Richard might hate you?”
“Hate me? I couldn’t care less about Richard’s thoughts now, Pearl. I’ve come to realize that he doesn’t
love me. He’d rather love you than me. But it’s difficult for me to accept because I fell for him long
before you did, and I love him more. Why does he love you?” Abby’s demeanor seemed unhinged.
“You’re out of your mind, Abby.” Pearl couldn’t be bothered to argue with Abby, but she must say
something to stall for time
and wait for rescue.
“You’re the one who’s gone mad, not me,” Abby retorted, drawing nearer to Pearl and slightly bending
over. Then, her expression changed as she noticed that Pearl’s limbs weren’t bound. “What’s this?
Why haven’t you tied her up? You can’t let her run away.”
Louis, frightened by the sudden shift in Abby’s attitude, stammered, “I didn’t tie her up because she’s
just a young woman and doesn’t seem very threatening…”
A sinister and malicious glint entered Abby’s eyes. “Tie her up now, or she might attempt something.
She’s very cunning.”
And so, Wilhem found an abandoned length of rope in the garage, casually wiped it clean on his b*dy,
and proceeded to bind novelbin
Pearl.
After that, Abby slapped Pearl’s face. “Doesn’t it feel awful to be kidnapped, Pearl? What do you want
now? Do you want to kneel and beg me to spare your life?”
“It’s not too late to stop this, Abby.”
Abby slapped Pearl again, this time with greater force. “Don’t f*cking meddle in my affairs! I wouldn’t be
in this situation if it weren’t for you. I’m not afraid of death, and I want to take you down with me!”
Leaning her head back and laughing, Abby didn’t dream of surviving after kidnapping Pearl.
Pearl’s l*ps started to bleed from the slap. But she chose to remain silent to avoid further enraging the
unstable woman before her.
With her hands behind her back, she discreetly used the ring on her hand to cut the rope.
