Chapter 344 Willingly Oblige
She squinted and scouted her surroundings. When she saw the landmark at the entrance, she nearly spoke up and alerted the person in front of her. Isn’t this the Adler Residence? He’s got guts, doesn’t he? After going around in circles, I can’t believe he brought me back home again!
With a loud slam, the door was opened. Elspeth hurriedly pretended to be unconscious, and she was lifted by two people and carried away.
As the path gradually became darker, Elspeth secretly opened her eyes, only to see that they took her to a small door. She didn’t know when or how, but there were people waiting at the small door by the time they arrived. And it was only when she entered the inner room and saw the dimly lit and depressing interior that she realized it seemed different from the last time she came. This isn’t the path to the hall. In that case, where is Rayan taking me?
Just as she was shrouded in doubts, Elspeth was brought into an even tinier door. Without looking closely, it was impossible to even notice that it was a door. Suddenly, she was hit by an ominous feeling, and sure enough, when she squinted at the environment inside, she realized that it was a basement.
Due to her shock, Elspeth momentarily lost focus, and Rayan had walked to her side before she returned to her senses. He suddenly patted her face and let out a hideous laugh. “Okay, stop pretending if you’re awake. The drug stops working the moment you stop inhaling it!”
Elspeth’s heart skipped a beat. Knowing there was no point to keep pretending, she slowly opened her eyes.
“Miss Lynwood, do you know why I didn’t search your body?” Seeing Elspeth’s dumbfounded face, Rayan revealed a ravenous smile.
“Why?” Elspeth deliberately looked at him with an overwhelmed and frightened expression.
Her show of weakness pleased Rayan, and he said, “Because I installed a signal jammer, plus this is the basement, so of course no one will know.”
“So, what are you planning to do?”
Although Elspeth looked fearful on the surface, she inwardly detested this cunning man.
“Since we’ve come to this, I won’t pretend anymore. Return my scimitar, Miss Lynwood. Then… if you agree to sleep with me for one night, I’ll let you go. What about it?”
When Rayan ordered her to sleep with him, his perverse smile was glued onto Elspeth the entire time, as disgusting as a chewed-up piece of gum.
Scimitar? Elspeth’s thoughts drifted at that word. She recalled that she had left the scimitar at the store before she left and did not retrieve it.
“I… don’t know where the scimitar is either. I really can’t remember where I left it.”
Elspeth could only play dumb until the end, pretending not to know anything.
“Stop pretending. I heard everything; you’re planning to give my scimitar to Mr. Logan, right?” Rayan did not beat around the bush either and asked bluntly.
“Yes, I did say that, but I didn’t say it was your scimitar. It isn’t with me, remember? Did you forget that your father has already given it to someone else?”
