Light footsteps were heard coming from the outside.
Nell bobbed her head. Thinking Lea was back, she cried out, “Lea, I’m not done. Wait on the outside for me!”
With difficulty, she tried to get up for a shower.
Nevertheless, a numbing sensation creeping within her body made her go weak in the knees, almost causing her to tumble.
As color washed off her face, Nell suddenly had a clear head.
It was that familiar feeling. How could she possibly not know what was going on?
Godd*mn it!
How the hell?
She recalled that everything she ate tonight was also consumed by others. The glass of wine could not possibly be the issue.
Could it be...
Her pupils dilated at the sudden realization of a certain glass of warm water fed to her by Lea.
With a cold gleam in her eyes, the raging fury within her threatened an outburst.
These people... were really pushing their luck, thinking she could easily be taken advantage of?
For them to employ such lowly and brainless tactics every single time, they must really think she was such a pushover!
Nell bit the tip of her tongue. The bloody taste unfurling in her mouth granted her momentary consciousness.
She then made use of all four limbs to crawl out of the tub.
...
The footsteps outside drew near and the next second, the door to the bathroom was opened from the outside.
Carrying a boorish smile, Dylan pushed the door in and ecstatically looked around.
However, there was nothing in the bathroom. The steam was still curling up from the bubble bath but there was no sight of the figure that was supposed to be in there.
Surprised, he exclaimed, “Huh?”
Later, his gaze swept past a corner of the room. Underneath the curtains was a pair of slippers. There also seemed to be indistinct movements against the curtains.
Getting the hint, he chortled. Dylan excitedly rubbed his hands together and walked over.
“My dear girlie. Why are you hiding behind the curtains? Come, let me bath with you! After we’re all clean, I’ll accompany you to sleep, what do you say?”
The boorish tone and lewd words were nauseating.
Dylan quickly made it before the curtains. The thought of the gorgeous beauty standing behind here aroused a certain sensation from his core.
Thrilled, he held onto one corner of the curtains and said, “Girlie, here I come!”
The curtain was pulled in a swish.
He was dumbstruck the next minute.
There was nothing behind the curtains, only an opened window with the cold breeze blowing through.
Dylan’s face saw a change of emotions.
“F*ck! How dare she trick me!”
His first thoughts were that Sylvia had played him for a fool. He was about to turn and go get even with her when suddenly... “Wham!”
“You...!”
Dylan stared at the woman standing before him in disbelief. While holding the back of his head, Dylan collapsed.
Gazing at the man lying flat on the ground, Nell breathed a sigh of relief.
With a struggle, she dragged him behind the curtains and tied him up before changing her clothes. She then walked out of the bathroom.
The bedroom door was locked from the outside. She turned the knob and was unable to unlatch it.
It never occurred to her that Sylvia would go this far to prevent her from running away.
Nell’s beautifully arched brows furrowed.
