Chapter 208 Go Back To Save Nancy (2)

“That’s impossible,” Puck exclaimed, visibly agitated, as he stared at Nancy in disbelief.

Nancy continued, “But it’s true. Nicholas and I are divorced. Do you think they would leave a small debt like this unresolved? Nicholas’ family is wealthy. That’s why it’s pointless to take me.” Her heart raced. She knew she couldn’t turn back now. If she couldn’t save herself, she would die. She understood that her survival depended on her wit.

Desperately hoping to wear down her captors, she aimed to portray herself as worthless, in the hope that they might release her. She knew the chances of that happening were slim, but she wanted to take a chance.

Panic surged through her. Her only escape route was blocked, and she thought to herself, Am I really going to die here?

The bleeding had stopped, but the pain persisted. Every time the pain flared up, her head felt like it would explode. With each wave of pain, she leaned against the pillar and took deep breaths, trying to alleviate the agony.
