Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 551

The very next second, something slick and scaly began slithering slowly up her bare leg.

A snake!

"Ahhh! Get off! Get off!"

Lilith's trembling voice broke into panicked sobs.

"Miles! Let me out of here!"

"Miles!"

"Summer, you bitch! As long as I draw breath, I will never let you go! Just wait! I will make sure you suffer in hell!"

"Ahhh!"

Inside the basement, the wailing sounded like a tortured ghost, but the thick walls trapped every ounce of sound.

Lilith screamed until her throat was completely raw, yet no one came to her rescue.

Right outside, in the adjacent surveillance room.

Miles stepped in and immediately spotted Summer. He hurried over to her side. "Summer."

Summer's gaze was ice-cold as she watched the monitors. On screen, Lilith was screaming like a lunatic, her face covered in snot and tears. "Don't listen to a word she says. It's not your fault Tessa was taken."

Miles stood tall beside her. "I know. Try not to worry too much. Lilith has been terrified of bugs and snakes since she was little. Once her psychological defenses completely crumble, she'll tell us everything."

Swarms of insects crawled up Lilith's legs and arms. Strapped tightly to the chair, no amount of frantic thrashing could shake off the horrifying creatures.

Deathly pale and shaking violently from the sheer terror, Lilith sobbed, "Summer! You bitch!"

"I'll talk! I'll tell you!"

"Just let me out of here!"

"I know you're watching out there!"

"If you don't let me out right now, Tessa's in danger! Do you think the men who grabbed her are gentlemen? They're bloodthirsty thugs! If they don't get their money, they'll assault her and dump her body!"

Bang! The heavy steel door finally flew open.
