CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 Her Fear

She closed her eyes in resignation and chose to compromise.

When she opened her eyes again, she stood up and walked towards the storage room with heavy steps.

The door that was broken last time had been fixed, and it was wide open, beckoning to her like the gaping mouth of a demon, waiting for her to fall into its trap.

She took difficult steps. The moment she stepped into the room, fear engulfed her.

Lilian trembled all over. Driven by fear, she dared not move forward. She turned around to leave, but Nelson closed the door before her.

With a loud bang, the door to the storage room shut tightly, cutting off the last ray of light in her eyes.

Lilian's legs turned weak, and she fell to the ground feebly.

The space was small and narrow. It was suffocating, and fear enveloped her completely.

She sat on the ground, hugged her knees, and closed her eyes, refusing to acknowledge that she was in a small dark room.

She opened her mouth, comforting herself.

Don't be afraid... It was not scary...

Someone had said that to her before. He held her and gently comforted her, saying, "It's okay, Lily. Don't be afraid."

Lilian curled up into a ball, silently speaking to the person in her imagination, "I'm not afraid."

As long as she convinced herself like this, she wouldn't be afraid.

He had once told her that.

......

After Francis left the villa, he went straight to the company.

Nelson followed closely behind him. He caught up to Francis's pace, and they entered the elevator together.

"Mr. Landau, Clyde has been taken away. Once the accounts are checked, he should be sent to prison."
