Elena regained consciousness on the second day. After she fell into the ocean, she was sure that she would die. Miracles would not happen repeatedly. However, another miracle did turn up for her. She had had so many miracles that one would find it hard to believe it. It seemed like she was not dead. She was alive, but where was she?
She laid in bed with no strength at all, but her consciousness was crystal clear. She had been drugged. She did not know what the drug was, but her limbs were weak, and it was difficult even to lift her finger. Within those two days, two masked women went into the room to feed her plain congee. Earlier that night, they were there to help her to the bathroom for a shower. Then they helped her put on a sexy dress. The dress was almost transparent, and if it were not for the base layer, her body would have been exposed.
“What are you doing? This is… This is illegal imprisonment. I can sue you…”
“Oh, do you know who we are? Sue us?” The two women acted as if they had heard a funny joke, and they broke into a pearl of laughter.
“Forget it. This girl is probably just a child from an ordinary family. She might not even have heard of Paradise Island before this.”
Paradise Island! Elena knew what it was! She knew about that, of course! She had heard Levi mentioned it in her past life when she had lived with Eldest Young Master Williams. The latter had almost been assassinated because he had offended the boss of Paradise Island. She remembered it, vividly!
Paradise Island was a scary existence. They had countless followers who looked no different from ordinary people, but many of them were assassins. The auction in Paradise Island was very famous among the socialites, and only the young masters from affluent families could participate in the sale. The location of their auctions also changed from time to time, so it was difficult to get hold of them!
The most important thing that one should know was that their boss was not just a simple businessman. He was rumored to be connected to many dark forces around the world. If one were to go against the boss of Paradise Island, it was akin to going against the Grim Reaper himself.
Eldest Young Master Williams was a compelling figure in Bentson, but he stood in the light and was an upright businessman. If he offended someone like the boss of Paradise Island, it would be dangerous for him. Why was she at such a place?
“It looks like she has heard of Paradise Island.” One of the women laughed.
One woman squeezed Elena’s chin and studied her face. “I have been in the presence of many young misses of Bentson for so many years, and yet I have never seen a face as beautiful as hers.”
She was even more beautiful than Bentson’s Number One Enchantress, Ava!
“We can forget about her identity. She would just be another toy after tonight.”
“Yes, that’s right!”
“What the hell do you want to do with me?” Elena wanted to get out of bed, but she had no strength. Every move she made was painstaking.
“There is an auction tonight. What do you think we want to do with you?”
“Just let her be. Don’t waste any more time with her. The auction will start soon, so we’ll have to hurry and get ready for it.”
The two left Elena and turned to leave the room. Then they closed the door behind them. Elena took a deep breath and exhausted all her strength to lift her hand. She wanted to pull herself up, but she felt as if she had no energy at all. Those people treated her like an article to be auctioned for those rich people! That was just too much! What could she do? If she failed to leave that night, she would end up as a rich man’s toy.
Elena took another deep breath and finally propped up her upper body, but she could only barely hold herself up. However, her physical strength seemed to have recovered bit by bit, and her fingers gradually gained a little more strength.
Sometime later, the door to the room suddenly opened. Two masked women went into the room with two men.
“Take her,” one of the women ordered. Without another word, the two men grabbed Elena and took her out of the room.
…
Dylan was still bored. The auctions on Paradise Island would typically involve rare merchandise like antiques. There were some excellent and exquisite antiques there that night, but he could not concentrate because he had something on his mind. People from the Harris and Anderson family had managed to bid on some exceptional items as he spaced out. As a result, he became more bored with the auction and had wanted to leave.
He was on an island, and he had been quite absent-minded the moment he arrived. Elena had disappeared at sea, and the island was surrounded by water. He wondered if he would see the ugly girl there just as he was about to leave. Even though the idea was strange and it did not sound possible, he could not stop thinking about it. Dylan could not wait to go, and so he stood up. He wondered if he would find something else in the sea on his way back.
“Second Young Master Williams, are you leaving?” The companion who came with him was a little surprised. “I received the news that the beauty was about to make an appearance.”
Dylan was not in a good mood. What beauty? He had no mood for anyone that night. “Have a seat, it’ll only be a few more minutes.” His companion gently tugged at his sleeve. “Don’t be a joke and let other people say that Williams family’s second young master left because he was angry and can’t afford to lose.”
“What a joke! Why would I care for those antiques?” Would the Williams family want for something?
“If that was the case, why are you leaving so indignantly after those few antiques were taken?” Dylan glanced at him. He was really bored, but he did not want to be called a sore loser, either. Finally, he decided to take a seat. Even though he was not interested in the beauty who was about to appear in the auction, he only needed to be there for a few more minutes. After that, he would be free to leave.
The masked-host suddenly announced, “The next item on auction tonight is also our grand finale—Angel!” Angel was the type of girl that all men yearned. Which men would not seek a woman as beautiful as an angel? However, would they see an angel-like girl that night, and would any men want her at first sight?
Soon, a crystal box was wheeled out. A girl sat in the box with wide-eyes as she looked at the black figures from the stage. There were no lights on the floor, so she could not see their faces. However, the audience could see her very clearly. The girl in the crystal box looked so helpless and innocent as she held onto the walls! Her large, round eyes were full of despair and sadness, and her beautiful face showed an abnormal blush. She looked like an angel who had stumbled into the world. They were right! She was the angel that every man would like to get their hands on!
Dylan was smoking a cigarette. He cast a casual glance toward the so-called angle, but she had taken his breath away. He did not even know it when his cigarette fell from his fingers. The rest of the participants were shocked too, but they were overwhelmed by the amazement that they had felt. No one thought that there would be a girl more beautiful than Ava in Bentson.
Dylan was flabbergasted! The situation was such a shock to him that it was unparalleled! It was almost unbelievable! She was the fairy that she had seen! No, she was his angel! He had searched the entire Garcia household, but he had not been able to find the fairy servant girl! She must have left the Garcia family; that was why he could not find her! He did not expect to see her there that night! He must have that angel that very night!
