“I think the one who was left without a proper burial isn't a friend of mine but a subordinate of yours, Mr. Carrerra.”
Elisa began to laugh, which sounded as refreshing as a pleasant spring breeze.
Her radiant smile, at this moment, was enough to make one tremble.
However, this only made Mr. Carrerra angrier.
He slapped her across the face, and immediately, Elisa's cheek swelled up significantly.
However, she didn't cry out in pain. The smile still lingered on her lips.
It seemed to silently ask if this was all he was capable of.
Feeling provoked, Mr. Carrerra led Elisa to the side of a water tank, pushing her entire head down firmly.
Before Elisa had a chance to hold her breath, she was hit by the icy water, causing her to shiver from the cold.
The water rushed into her nostrils and throat, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
No matter how much she struggled, she could always feel the force of his heavy hand pressing down on her head.
Her hands were tied behind her back, so she couldn't even find a proper sitting position for support.
Elisa knew that Mr. Carrerra was really getting serious.
She merely closed her eyes and stopped struggling, giving up on her survival instincts.
Mr. Carrerra quickly lifted Elisa's head when he realized that she was not moving.
It was only then that Elisa felt alive once more as she began to breathe in fresh air in large gasps.
Mr. Carrerra wiped his hands, tossed the handkerchief aside, and told one of his underlings to hasten the arrival of Hannah's subordinates.
Otherwise, he felt that he was going to be plagued by problems caused by a delay.
Elisa lay forgotten in the corner, coughing heavily as she slowly began to recover.
Tears of emotion welled up in the corners of her eyes before they slowly slid down, bringing with them some warmth.
After venting his frustrations, Mr. Carrerra no longer lingered around Elisa.
The reason was simple. Elisa's words were eloquent but they also irritated him in equal measure.
Mr. Carrerra was worried that if he stayed any longer, he couldn't resist killing Elisa himself.
