Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 48

When Elise woke up again, she noticed that her surroundings were pitch black. She slowly sat up and realized that her hands were tied with ropes, so she couldn’t move.

“Is anyone there?!” Elise shouted hoarsely to her surroundings, yet the only answer she got was her own echo.

Roughly guessing the situation she was currently in, she struggled with all her might. Not even hesitating to jerk her wrists so violently that the ropes cut against them, she managed to break free in the end.

Already adapted to the darkness, she looked around and found that it was a shabby hut. Then, she got up and walked to the door to open it. As the frosty wind of the dark night whistled by and froze her cheeks, accompanied by the howling of some wild animals coming from afar, Elise’s heart sank. “When I find out who did this, I’ll kill them!”

Suddenly, she saw two tall men coming toward her, so she hurriedly closed the door and retreated, feigning that she was still tied up.

“It’s tough to stay on this mountain even for a few days.”

“It’s okay. When we finish this, we can take a good rest for a while. Hold on a little longer; it’s only two or three days more. It will soon pass.”

Elise listened to their conversation, which got louder as they got closer to the hut. Then, the door was opened, and as the harsh light hit Elise, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to shield.

“You’re awake.” One of the men spoke, then threw a cold bun he brought in front of Elise.

“Eat it; don’t starve to death.”

Elise did not look at the bun on the ground but raised her eyes to look at the two men and said, “Why did you kidnap me here?”

The man did not answer her words but just said, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. We only did it for the money, so we don’t know anything else.”

Elise lowered her eyes and said, “If you let me go now, I can give you a large sum of money.”
