At first, Scarface spoke so softly that Elisa couldn't hear what he said.
Then, Mr. Carrerra was heard waving his hand, claiming that something was not possible, and turning his head away. It was clear that he did not want to discuss this matter any further.
Scarface grew impatient and stepped forward, saying, “Boss, after all, your main goal is to humiliate her and Gareth, not to make money. What's the problem?”
Elisa was struck with terror, a sense of foreboding spreading within her heart.
The human trafficker they initially contacted couldn't come for some unknown reason, coupled with the fact that they had previously killed a few of their comrades. Some of them could not hold back anymore and wanted to directly insult both Elisa and Gareth.
Elisa knew that she could not show even an ounce of fear now because showing fear would only excite these beasts even more.
Yet, she absolutely refused to let these things taint her.
The worst outcome was thus a fight to the bitter end, resulting in her death.
Elisa simply could not accept this possibility, having endured so much only to die here.
Fortunately, even though Mr. Carrerra was angry, he knew it wasn't the end of the world. After a moment of contemplation, he rejected Scarface's proposal.
He stroked his chin and said, “You know the rules that Hannah has set. Now that you've crossed her, what if she doesn't let it slide?”
“What about all of us, Mr. Carrerra—”
“All right, there's no need to discuss this any further.” Mr. Carrerra interrupted Scarface before he could finish.
Scarface fell silent, a look of defiance on his face. The gaze he directed toward Elisa was filled with intense malice.
Elisa knew this matter was far from over.
When it was time for the evening meal, it was a scar-faced man who came to deliver it.
He held a porcelain bowl and bore a mischievous grin on his face as he stared at Elisa and said, “Come on. It's time to eat.”
Elisa walked over, but she was immediately hit by the rancid smell of leftovers that had been sitting for a few days.
Elisa did not take the bowl. She just stared straight at Scarface.
Scarface laughed. “What's the matter? You don't like me?”
