Lovers Bay, Bayshore Villa.
Cheyenne didn't expect that they would bring her back to Abbie's residence again, or more accurately, Kelvin's territory. It wasn't exactly Abbie's house but rather Kelvin's property.
They didn't tie her up this time, but the doors and windows of the room were reinforced, and there was a pinhole camera inside, with two men guarding outside.
It was like being trapped behind an impenetrable fortress. She couldn't escape, even if she turned into a fly.
It was time for dinner, and the one who brought her food turned out to be Adrian. He took off his oversized black robe and didn't wear that creepy white featureless mask.
He was dressed in a regular suit, wearing black leather shoes, and his hair was impeccably combed as he walked into the room.
Along with him came the scent of food.
Cheyenne was genuinely hungry. She hadn't eaten anything before attending the banquet last night, just to enjoy a good meal. But in the banquet, all she had was a glass of red wine and half a slice of cake before being kidnapped.
Today, she had been kidnapped, escaped, threatened, and it was quite exhausting.
From the moment he entered, Cheyenne's gaze was glued to the steak he held in his hands. Adrian smiled kindly.
He placed the plate in front of Cheyenne and enticed her, "Grandniece, want to eat? It's an authentic wagyu steak."
"I do."
"If you want it, then be a good girl and write out the final level of the Thirteen Needles. This steak will be yours. Not just the steak, I'll get you whatever you want to eat."
"After all, you're the most exceptional young member of our Edwards family. Even I can't bear to see you die like this."
Nauseated by his hypocritical face, Cheyenne suddenly lost her appetite. She pursed her lips, withdrew her gaze.
She leaned back lazily in the chair, boredly picking at her fingernails, and casually replied, "Forget it, to save energy, I don't want to use my brain to think about anything, let alone write."
Adrian's fingers holding the plate turned white, he blew his mustache and looked at her, suddenly speechless. "Didn't you say you were hungry?"
Cheyenne smirked, "I am hungry, but I watched a show where the female protagonist survived in the rainforest for fourteen days, relying on fasting and sleeping to conserve energy. She only drank water and ate a few fruits during that time."
Fourteen days!
Did she mean she also wanted to endure for fourteen days?
Dream on!
If she still refuses to reveal the final level of the needle technique before three o'clock tomorrow, she will be pushed into the sea to feed the sharks.
"Alright, I'm going to sleep. Granduncle, give me some privacy, after all, there are boundaries between men and women."
After saying this, Cheyenne got up from the bed, walked barefoot to the bedside, pulled up the covers, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Adrian stared at her with a gloomy look for a few seconds, holding back a breath, and angrily threw the steak into the trash can.
"Fine, grandniece, goodnight to you too. Oh, by the way, the steak in the trash can isn't sanitary, just a friendly reminder."
He left haughtily with his hands behind his back.
After Adrian left, Cheyenne couldn't contain her anger and sat up again, grinding her teeth. She never looked for food in the trash can! Her stomach rumbled with anger but she decided to go to sleep.
At this moment, Cheyenne began to miss her grandpa's cotton candy, Benson's delicious cooking, and Reece whose family business could ensure an endless supply of cured meat and sausages.
Speaking of which, he had never brought her any delicious food.
Well, when she got back, she would definitely extort him for a good amount of delicious food.
As night fell, the weather in Akloit began to cool down, and a cold wind howled over the sea. The windows rattled with the gusts.
Cheyenne was hungry and couldn't sleep. She opened her eyes and looked out the window. It was pitch black, with the night and the sea merging into one.
There was a faint white light on the distant sea, shining like a star that had fallen from the heavens onto the water's surface.
Maybe it was her eyes playing tricks, but she felt like that white light was getting closer and closer to her.
It gradually shrank from the distant sea to twenty meters, then ten meters... Finally, a bright white light shone through her window.
A remarkably handsome face, one that should not be here, suddenly appeared in front of her.
The dazzling light made his face indistinct, but his pair of bright eyes imprinted themselves in her mind.
They were more brilliant than the starlight.
