Chapter 176

In a pitch-black room.

Julie woke up, all muddled up, only to find herself tied to a chair. Her limbs were sore and her head felt like it was about to split up, filled with pain.

Her eyes were covered with a blindfold, and her hands and feet were firmly tied to the chair. The air was filled with a damp, moldy smell that was

nauseating.

In the absence of sight, a person often feels more insecure. Julie was no exception, particularly when she heard the dull sound of chains, which made her get goosebumps.

She tried to break free, but a deep voice came from not too far away, “Babe, if I were you, I’d just sit tight.”

Julie felt like she was suspended in mid-air, and any movement would trigger the sound of chains. She probably figured it out: although she was sitting on a chair, the chair was likely chained up. And the sound of water was probably from beneath her feet.

Julie calmed down, stopped struggling, and tried to maintain balance. Just as she was about to speak, she heard another man’s voice, “It’s such a waste for such a beautiful woman to be tied up…”

“Quit your daydreaming, we’re here for the money, not her. Once our employer pays up, we’re out of here. Don’t get greedy and land us in trouble.

“Don’t you think this woman looks familiar?”

“Familiar? How?”

“You remember Mrs. Hernandez from Simpo Co., the one on the news a while back? Don’t you think she looks like her?”

From the kidnappers’ conversation, Julie was sure they didn’t know she was Mrs. Hernandez. If the kidnappers had known, they would have kidnapped, her for her wealth. But they didn’t know her identity and yet still kidnapped her. What were they after?

They had mentioned there was a real employer. What was their purpose?

According to one of the kidnappers, she was brought here by them. Did that mean there was another group of people also after her?

These questions threw Julie’s thoughts into a whirl.
