Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1041

Chapter 1041

She didn’t hesitate and raised her leg to kick the door, but Craig yanked her back. She didn’t see it coming. Stumbled back and her kick only had about 20% of its intended force. The door shook violently but didn’t budge.

Craig didn’t mean to, but he just couldn’t hold on anymore.

Estelle was jerked back by him, losing her breath for a moment and inhaling a lungful of smoke. Her head started buzzing instantly, and she couldn’t control her breathing. She knew she was in a pickle and tried to kick the door again, but it was too late. The inhaled smoke, whatever it was, was numbing her senses quickly. She felt like she’d been shot with an anesthetic, her mind fuzzy and her body weak.

She kept trying to kick the door, but it wouldn’t budge.

Outside, Estelle’s first kick had everyone holding their breath in shock..

Mr. Kress frowned at Gwen, “What the hell are you up to?”

Gwen had all the waitresses leave the room, leaving just her, Mr: Kress, and Clarice.

Under the dim light, Gwen smiled, not her usual innocent and gentle smile but something more sinister, “Haven’t you always wanted Estelle, Mr. Kress? Well, she’s all yours tonight!”

Mr. Kress‘ eyes flickered, “How did you get her to cooperate?”

Gwen smirked at Clarice, “Thanks to Lily’s help.”

The black room was originally used to punish people who lost games, with mechanisms on all four walls that could spray pepper water and mustard smoke. Clarice knew a manager at Blue Oasis and had easily replaced the mustard smoke with something else.

Clarice grinned, “I did you a huge favor, think of it as compensation for the $30,000 you lost before. Worth it?”

Mr. Kress was still a little worried, “Nothing’s gonna go wrong, right?”

He liked Estelle, sure, but he didn’t want to get in any trouble because of her.

“Don’t worry, it’s just the three of us. Who’s gonna squeal? And when Estelle wakes up, she’s certainly not gonna spill the beans!” Gwen raised an eyebrow at Mr. Kress, “You’re not getting cold feet, are you?”

In the past, whenever she asked Estelle for contact info of people like Carson, Estelle always dodged the question and made up excuses.

Estelle was definitely worried that she’d find a rich boyfriend too. Then Estelle wouldn’t feel superior in front of her anymore.

So it wasn’t her who betrayed Estelle, Estelle never really considered her a friend in the first place.

But starting today, Estelle would have nothing.

She might not even be able to stay in J City anymore.

At the thought of that, Gwen was bursting with excitement and could hardly keep her hands and feet from trembling.

“Should we bounce?” asked Clarice.
