...
Jessica woke up and heard the sound of pouring water.
The back of her neck was so sore that she couldn't even raise her head. Jessica wanted to touch the
back of her neck, but when she reached out, she realized that her hand was tied up.
Jessica remembered what happened at the bookstore's entrance.
She also became sober.
"You are awake." The familiar female voice echoed in the empty room.
Jessica was completely sober. She opened her eyes and looked around. A luxurious crystal chandelier
met her eyes.
She was tied up tightly. Lying on the cold and hard floor, she could not stand up. She only could turn
her head and look around.
"Are you thirsty?"
The familiar female voice sounded again, followed by the sound of high heels stepping on the ground.
Jessica turned her head. After seeing the person clearly, her eyes narrowed and she snorted
disdainfully, "It's you!"
Sivan held a glass of water in one hand and pinched Jessica's chin with the other. She forced Jessica
to look at her, "Look at what you're like now. Are you still proud of yourself now?"
Sivan's eyes were filled with mad hatred, and her voice was extremely cold.
"You dare to kidnap me. What else do I not dare to do?" Jessica said clearly and indifferently, but there
was an indescribable arrogance in her tone.
What Sivan hated the most was Jessica's arrogance.
Her eyes were filled with hatred and jealousy. Her beautiful face also twisted. Her fingers that were
holding Jessica's chin used so much strength that her sharp nails stuck into Jessica's skin and blood
seeped out.
"You're about to die. Why are you so arrogant? Who gave you the confidence? Carl?"
Jessica's expression changed slightly when Sivan mentioned Carl.
Sivan saw her change. She sneered as if she heard an extremely funny joke. "That's right. Carl will
come, but what if he comes?"
Jessica's heart tightened and she realized that something was wrong.
It was impossible for Sivan to capture her by herself. Sivan had a helper, and it was not Jace.
Jace was enslaved to alcohol and lust. He was not agile anymore and didn't have such a quick
reaction.
Rosie was kidnapped by that person then. When Jessica went over, she secretly gathered strength and
wanted to attack him when he released Rosie.
However, that person didn't even give her a chance. He completely suppressed her unilaterally and
grabbed her into the car.
Apparently, he was professional.
But Sivan could not find a professional killer in her current position.
"Looks like you've found a backer." Jessica did not appear her thoughts on her face and she remained
calm.
Sivan hated Jessica's calm and slapped her.
She used great strength. Half of Jessica's face was numb and Jessica's ears were buzzing.
"Carl can't save you!"
Sivan's voice sounded distorted in her ears.
There was a taste of blood in her mouth. Jessica spat out the blood calmly. There was still no panic on
her face that Sivan wanted to see.
"Are your backer so terrific?" Otherwise, Sivan wouldn't be so arrogant.
