Chapter 182 The Insatiable Ingrate
Not a single ray of light permeated the darkness of the pitch-black room. Although the icy cold water was only up till Mandy’s waist, what truly sent shivers up her spine was the unknown slimy objects that she sensed swimming about her feet.
“Ah! What’s in the water? How can it be swimming about like this? Let me out of here at once!” screamed Mandy in fear as she thrashed about in the water in a vain attempt to reach for safety.
Billy shot Mandy a cold glare as he snarled, “So now you’re afraid? You’ve hurt someone that Mr. Bowers cares deeply about! This is just the beginning of what awaits you!”
With that, Billy barked out a few curt instructions to the men watching over Mandy before he turned and took his leave.
Still trapped in this flooded room, Mandy found herself spinning about haphazardly to evade the unidentified creature swimming about and bothering her. In her despair, she wailed, “Don’t leave! Please don’t leave me here all by myself! You can’t treat me like this! I’m from the Watsons family after all!”
Even though Mandy screamed frantically until she had gone hoarse, no one paid her any heed.
After taking his leave earlier, Billy headed back to the Bowers residence and updated Samuel on the current situation.
“Sir, everything has been done as you’ve requested,” stated Billy.
“Excellent! Let’s let this woman stew in the water for some time with those water snakes before we hand her over to the police,” replied Samuel as his lips curled into a faint smile.
“Understood.”
“You may go now,” stated Samuel dismissively.
Just as Billy was about to take his leave, Natalie strolled into the study.
“Hello, Ms. Nichols,” greeted Billy with a formal bow.
Startled by Billy’s sudden gesture, Natalie was about to return the bow when she suddenly felt Samuel hug her tightly from behind. He had such a tight grip that her spine was pressed firmly against his muscular chest with nary a gap between.
They’re too intimate!
