Chapter 276

Inside a villa located in Whispering Pines, a suburb in the south, a woman dressed in a white T-shirt and high-waisted denim shorts sat on a bed in the bedroom. The room was spacious with only a solitary bed, devoid of any other furniture. The windows were designed with burglar bars, making escape impossible.

The bed was adorned with two pillows and a grey blanket, while a dark blue coat lay next to it. A pair of white canvas shoes were placed by the bedside.

The bedroom door swung open, and a tall man, nearing six-foot-three, pushed a food cart into the room.

The woman turned swiftly at the sound. Her blonde hair fell over her shoulders, her blue eyes pure and clear, and her skin was fair and smooth. Her doll-like eyes glanced at the food cart before sweeping over the bodyguard outside the door.

“Hey!” she said in a slightly accented English, addressing the man pushing the food cart. “How many of you guys are there?”

“You won’t be able to escape, so don’t even try,” the man said.

She chuckled, “So, how long do you plan on keeping me here?”

“That depends on my boss. Just sit tight, we won’t mistreat you,” the man replied.

“But I’m so bored, there’s no one to talk to all day,” she complained, looking at the man. “Can you tell me who your boss is? Do you know why you guys kidnapped

me?”

The man evaded her questions, placing the food on the table and gesturing to it. “Please eat.”

Reluctantly, she sat on the edge of the bed and started eating.

“I’ve been kidnapped for quite some time now. Even if you don’t tell me who your boss is, can you request him to give me a tablet to play with? I won’t go online, I just want to play some offline games…”

She kept bringing up this matter while eating. Eventually, the man, seemingly annoyed, made a call, presumably to his superior. He switched off the room’s Wi-Fi and handed her a tablet pre-loaded with games.

She immediately grabbed the tablet and started playing, obediently sitting on the bed.

The man exited the room, locking the door behind him.

Suddenly, there was a loud crash from downstairs.

The two bodyguards at the door exchanged glances. The tall one spoke into the walkie-talkie, “Scar, what’s happening?”

The walkie-talkie emitted a buzzing sound, but there was no reply from Scar.

“Stay here, I’ll go check it out,” the tall man told the other bodyguard. He pulled out a gun from behind him and made his way downstairs.

At the front door, he found Scar and another colleague writhing on the floor, a woman standing between them, her foot on their hands.
