Her face turned pale, which appeared guilty to Elder. “Ms. Palmer, you used the name and information of Greyson when you registered at the police station. Why did you lie to me and say it was Steve Parry? Did you fall in love with the man who a*saulted you and want to protect him?”
Taya frowned. She had planned to deny it no matter what, but if she continued to do so, it would be suspicious. Elder would investigate the people around her one by one, so she had to admit it, but in a different way.
Thinking of this, her pale face gradually calmed down, “I lied to you because they were rude and aggressive when they rushed over, without any manners. Why should I tell these people the truth? Who knows if you guys are good or bad people? Besides, this is my privacy, and I have the right to say what I want!”
After hearing her words, Elder bit his lip and lifted his cigar. “You’re
still as eloquent as ever.”
Taya was also proud and looked at Elder. “Mr. Thorin, I’m not just eloquent. I only speak the truth.”
Elder sneered, “Okay, it doesn’t matter if you want to protect him or not, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to know who he is.” have never seen his true face. If you find him, please let me know so that I can take revenge.”
Elder seemed to have anticipated her denial and took another puff of his cigar. “Before my good temper runs out, you’d better
confess…”
As Taya’s logical thinking gradually became clearer, she reached the crux of the matter. “What should I confess? If I really knew who he was, why would I have reported him to the police multiple times? It’s because I don’t know that I reported him.”
After hearing this, Elder was stunned for a few seconds. He looked at Taya through his sungla*ses and no longer had the same disdain and contempt as before. Instead, he showed a hint of admiration. “I didn’t realize before that you’re so clever…”
Taya didn’t respond to his compliment and quickly proposed a plan. “I really don’t know who Greyson is. How about you release me first and let me go back to the city. I’ll arrange to meet him and when he shows up, you can come out and catch him. Then you’ll
know who he is.” Elder’s serious expression gradually turned into a cold sneer. “My experience is way more than yours. Your little tricks won’t fool
me…”
He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. “You have three minutes to decide. If you talk, I’ll let you go. If you don’t, I’m sorry,
But my men won’t be at mercy.”
Taya knew that no matter what she said, Elder would not let her go, but he would not kill her either.
For Elder, if he could find Greyson, he wouldn’t have bothered to kidnap her, a nobody. He must have failed to find him, hence why he was now relying on her. But why did he have to find out who Greyson was?
Within the three minutes, Taya calmed herself down and asked Elder, “Are you also looking for Greyson for revenge?”
The word “also” meant that she chose not to speak.
Elder understood her intention and took the knife from the scarred man’s hand, playing with it as he calmly replied, “It’s not really for revenge. He kidnapped my daughter, and I want to look for him and ask where my daughter is…” Taya’s face turned pale. Griffon kidnapped Tara, but why?
Before she had a chance to ask for the specific reason, the rope that bound her hands and feet was cut by Elder with a knife.
Taya thought Elder would let her go, but she didn’t expect him to suddenly turn the blade and point the sharp tip of the knife at her
neck.
Then, a majestic voice came from above her head, “Your neck is very slender. If I make a cut, it should be able to sever it, right?”
As the cold blade sliced through her skin, Taya’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat that rolled down her face…
But she forced herself to remain calm and lifted her gaze to the middle-aged man above her.
“I don’t know who he is. I really don’t know. Even if you kill me, I won’t be able to tell you. Why bother making things difficult for
me?”
She spoke words of submission, but her eyes revealed a resolute expression. No matter who it was, they couldn’t pry the whereabouts of Greyson from her mouth.
She was determined to protect Gritton and would not let him suffer any harm, even if she was threatened, she had no fear!
Elder realized that she was still being stubborn, and knew that she must have guessed that he wouldn’t kill her, which was why she refused to admit it.
It seemed that she needed to suffer a bit, after all, when people felt desperate, they would naturally choose to survive…
Elder waved his hand and a man with a scar on his face immediately understood. He ordered someone to bring a huge water tank filled with water…
Before Taya could react to what they were doing, someone held the back of her head and pushed her into the water tank.
The feeling of suffocation and lack of oxygen invaded her, making it difficult for her to breathe. In just a short minute, her face turned pale.
However, Elder showed no intention of stopping, and was even interested, smoking a cigar and laughing as he watched her.
“Your lung capacity is not bad. You managed to hold on for so long. Impressive,” said Elder.
Taya couldn’t hear a word he said. All she saw in front of her were bubbles she couldn’t exhale due to the lack of air…
As she struggled with all her might, her hands gradually lost strength. Before she lost consciousness, her life experiences flashed before her eyes…
The tragic, the joyous, the times she was loved, all of it pa*sed quickly.
She had no regrets, except for not being able to fulfill her promise to mate Griffon… Just as she was about to pa*s out from lack of oxygen, the door of the wooden hut was kicked open.
A man appeared outside the door, with a magnificent figure and a noble temperament, like an unreachable star.
However, the star was now shrouded in murderous rage. His breath alone was enough to devour bones and drink blood.
When he saw Taya, who appeared lifeless and submerged in the water tank, his bloodthirsty eyes suddenly ignited with towering anger!
The person guarding the door, seeing him break in, raised an iron rod, intending to knock him out…
As the iron rod was about to strike, his wrist was caught. The sound of bones breaking immediately followed.
The next second, the iron rod in his hand was taken away by the man. With just one strike, the gatekeeper’s eyes Polled back and he completely lost consciousness…
Others noticed and rushed over, but were knocked out one by one by the red-eyed and fierce-looking Griffon!
In just a few tens of seconds, he ran from the entrance to the scar-faced man and broke the hand that was holding Taya’s head with a single strike.
He immediately reached out his long arm, pulling Taya out of the water. When he felt her icy cold body, his heart trembled violently…
He raised his trembling fingers to check her breath, but saw her suddenly coughing and spitting out several mouthfuls of water…
Griffon breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her tightly in his arms, kissing her forehead.
“I’m here, you don’t have to be afraid anymore…” He would make those who hurt her pay a painful price!
