The man stared at Elisa like she’s some lesser creature. “Stay good, you’ll know when you need to know. Don’t try to escape, don’t upset us, and don’t blame us if we take you to practice knives!”
He finished his words, then he swung the door loudly and left.
Elisa was relieved that the man had left the lights on. She struggled to get out of bed and moved as carefully as she could to the window. There was nothing but darkness outside the window, and there was still a pile of construction waste in the brightly lit area. Those supplies had been sitting for a long time, as seen by the covering plastic sheets. Seeing it wasn’t going to help her in her current condition.
From a few short words with the unknown man, she could get two messages.
The first was that there were others in the room, and the second was that they had not yet found out how to deal with her. It showed that she was safe until they thought of countermeasures.
And who was the person who caused them to take her captive but didn’t think what to do with her?
Could it be that they were scruples about William’s Group?
Could William find her?
Elisa was very upset. She stood by the window for a long time, thinking about how to deal with it. She didn’t fall asleep until she couldn’t support it any longer.
**
The next day.
A flapping sound woke up Elisa, and her face hurt so much that she wanted to swear.
When the man saw Elisa open her eyes the other night, he pulled up her collar and pulled her up. Elisa was forced to follow his strength and was pulled all the way downstairs.
After her observation, she found that the place where she was at that time was an abandoned villa, and there were no families around.
Besides the man, there were some persons unknown in the yard. She had seen five so far, and she didn’t know how many were out of her sight.
The man pushed Elisa to the floor in the living room and took the door out.
Julia was sitting in the living room, looking at the embarrassed Elisa with bruises.
After Elisa stabilized her body, she also looked back at her calmly.
Julia complained, “Elisa, look at you, why are you still pretending to be cold?”
“I pretend to be cold?” She always thought she was taking the teasing route.
“Do you know what bothers you most? Nothing can compare with me, but I have a face of ‘I am excellent, you are all idiots’ all day long.”
Elisa was speechless for a moment. She didn’t know she owed so much.
Elisa was silent for a moment and asked, “So, what do you want? Do you think you kidnapped me, and you can get away with it?”
“What do I want to get away with? Brandon has already broken up with me. Why should I retreat?”
Elisa looked at Julia in surprise and suddenly smiled. “Isn’t this obvious? I was a living example before. You not only didn’t learn from it but also jumped up.”
“You always treat me like a joke?”
“I have nothing to laugh at. I don’t understand. You are beautiful, have a good family background, and are intelligent. Why do you want to hang yourself in Brandon’s crooked neck? Do you think he dumped me because I wasn’t good enough, so I deserved to be dumped? We all know in our hearts that Brandon uses us as a springboard, first me, then you. Do you think if you kill me today, you can have him back or prove your worth? Prove that you are better and more attractive than me? In this world, the judgment of excellence is artificial, and there will be different interpretations because of different people who watch it. Why would a man as clever as you drill a dead end?”
“You still want to teach me a lesson? What qualifications do you have? If it weren’t for you, Brandon and I would have been married long ago?”
Elisa looked at Julia and saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was haggard. She sighed.
“Then what do you want? Do you think it’s my fault that you and Brandon have come to this point? Do I have such great influence? I am a married woman, and I have the leisure to pick up a man I didn’t want many years ago?! Even if I am not married, I am not going to want it.”
“But he loves you!”
“He only loves himself.”
Elisa looked at Julia helplessly. “Julia, you just lost love at most. Can we not embarrass ourselves? You can’t kidnap your man’s ex-girlfriend just because he broke up with you. Why don’t you kidnap him instead?”
“Do you know what he said when he wanted to tell me to break up? After listening, I wish I could kill you immediately! He said he never loved me and said he was sorry for you. He asked me to let him go and even knelt in front of me. He wanted me to let him go because he wanted to give me all his savings and house over the years!” Julia said that her eyes burst out with strong hatred.
“Elisa, why do you occupy his heart for so many years? Why have I worked hard for so many years, and it is a joke in your eyes and his eyes? Are my feelings and efforts not valid? Why should I be treated like this?! Why?! Elisa, tell me why?”
Elisa noticed Julia’s contorted expression. She could not help but be concerned. That time she was at such a disadvantage that there was no room for resistance.
At present, the most important thing for her to accomplish was to maintain Julia’s mood in control.
Elisa sorted out her thoughts and said, “Do you know why he did this? Do you think he did it for me? He broke up with me for almost seven years, and he didn’t have any contact with me in these seven years. Don’t you think it’s funny to say that he loved me when he broke up with you? How can he, a man so clever, escape revenge from you and your family if he doesn’t try to pass on your anger and hatred to another person?”
“You are sophistry!” Julia had a little reason, but her mood was still unstable.
“What do I have to justify? I had nothing to do with him seven years ago. He provoked my husband at the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular meetings. What kind of danger and blow will he face if he doesn’t take your attention away when breaking up with you? And your reaction just illustrates this point. Brandon knows you very well!”
“I won’t believe you.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is what you want to do. Do you know what kind of punishment kidnapping will face? Do you think William will do anything if he knows I have been kidnapped? Or can you and your family bear the revenge of William?”
“Are you scaring me?!”
“Do you think I still have this leisure to scare you? I just want you to stop before you make a big mistake. You fell out of love, really sad, but you tragically solved the problem, which is you kidnap your ex-boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend. I can’t bear it. Julia, you are young and have a bright future ahead. It is not cost-effective to ruin your future and family for a love rat who doesn’t love you. Of course, if you think you don’t kill me, you will feel that the world is particularly unbeautiful, and I have nothing to say. But after killing me, you can’t live either. We all died. As a result, Brandon was still alive. He continued to cheat other women with his face and sweet words and then married, had children, and lived a good life. Do you like this ending?”
After Elisa finished her words, a loud banging sound interrupted her.
