But how did she treat him? All his kindness now seemed like a joke.
He turned his back after a brief decision. The bodyguard got the hint and immediately dragged Violette away.
The hall suddenly went deadly quiet. She didn't cry or make a fuss. She disappeared from his sight, just like she quietly left him years ago.
......
Violette was taken to the basement by the bodyguard.
The basement was dimly lit. With the faint light, you could see that the basement was bare. They moved through the concrete and steel, with strange noises echoing every now and then. The air was filled with a rotten, bloody smell that made one want to puke.
After about five minutes in the basement, the bodyguard gave her a hard shove. She fell flat on her face without any warning.
Her fingers touched something sticky, and she picked it up with a shiver...
It was grass, but it was covered in some kind of slime, which smelled disgusting!
She frowned and tossed the grass away.
"Ms. Dennis, look behind you," the bodyguard said.
She turned around to see a giant snake's head. It was a python! A live python!
The python slowly opened its big mouth at her. She suddenly went weak in the knees, her body cold.
"Ms. Dennis, do you know why this python is so healthy?" the bodyguard squatted next to her and chuckled like a demon, "Because it only eats meat..."
Violette gasped, unable to stop herself from shaking.
"Do we need to get a doctor?" The bodyguard was a bit scared, "She's not gonna die, is she?"
Elijah would surely blame them if she was dead before they could get the answer out of her.
Back in the villa's grand hall.
After checking the time for the third time, Elijah's bodyguard said, "Boss, Ms. Dennis’s body is weak. She probably can't handle the basement punishment."
"I want her to admit her fault!" Of course, he knew her body was weak. But she was too stubborn!
"I'm afraid they might be too rough..." The bodyguard continued, "Maybe I should go..."
Before the bodyguard could finish his sentence, Elijah, frowning, walked towards the basement entrance!
