With a splitting headache, Eliana opened her eyes and slowly realized that she was inside an abandoned warehouse filled with a variety of broken and tattered items.

She was lying sideways on the cold floor. As she struggled to regain her senses, an alarmed look flashed across Eliana’s face when she noticed that her arms and legs were tied up. She couldn’t move at all.

Her eyes suddenly darted to a familiar figure standing nearby. With her mobile phone in his hand, Ethan stared at her with cold-blooded intent in his eyes.

He had kidnapped her.

‘What a bastard!’

Now Eliana was fully aware of her dire situation, and her heart sank. Cold sweat began to form all over her body, and her brain went haywire.

“You’re finally awake.”

Ethan walked over with a sinister smile and looked down at Eliana, his eyes full of malice.

Eliana propped herself up and glared at him. “Are you out of your mind?”

“Shut up. You’re in no position to insult me. If you hadn’t hurt my father and used Maurice’s influence to cover up your crime, then I wouldn’t have resorted to taking you captive. This is all your fault!” Ethan snarled in contempt.

How could he be so sure that it was her who had hurt Hodge? It didn’t make sense.

With her eyes wide open in fear, Eliana made a guess.

It seemed that someone framed her and Maurice for a crime they didn’t commit.
