"We made a deal on the plane that if her place goes dark, that's our cue to swoop in and save her. She can use the blackout as a chance to hide in a corner, and once we've taken out all the bad guys, we can rescue her. If we don't mess with their power grid and cause some chaos, they'll definitely use her as a hostage against us."
......
In the villa.
The video call ended, and Violette's voice disappeared. She stopped struggling and screaming, which seemed to take the fun out of it for Silver King.
He was doing all this to make her his own. Only if she became his woman, would she be willing to stay. The reason he video-called Elijah was because he found out that Elijah was her boyfriend. He wanted Elijah to see her being humiliated, then surely Elijah wouldn't want her anymore.
"Why are you so quiet now? Do you really think that man will come to save you?" Silver King laughingly slapped her cold cheek. "Do you know how many soldiers are hidden in the woods below my villa? No one can enter my villa without my permission."
"How long has your daughter been dead?" Violette asked coldly, staring at him.
Elijah's voice kept echoing in her mind. Even though she didn't see him in the video, she heard his choked voice. She had planned to end her life after being humiliated, but now, she changed her mind.
Silver King didn't expect her to ask that question. He thought for a moment, then replied, "Including this year, thirteen years."
"I can bring her back to life," she said calmly, staring at him. "I have a unique remedy that might be worth a shot. I can't guarantee it will work, but there's a good chance."
Silver King intuitively knew she was lying, and his face turned both surprised and angry. "That's not what you said this morning."
"What are you afraid of? Even if Elijah comes, it's suicide for him, right?. Were all the things you said earlier just big talk?" She taunted. "If I can't revive your daughter, I'll spend the rest of my life with you."
