"Fiona, what on earth do you want from me?!" When it dawned on Vanessa what Fiona had in mind, Vanessa was suddenly in a panic. She wanted to get up and run away. However, her feet were still numb after being tied up for so long, which impeded her escape.
In fact, she wasn't afraid of being killed by Fiona. She was more terrified that the nightmare a few years ago repeated itself. Vanessa glared at Fiona, saying, "I warn you, you'd better not mess around with me... If not, I'll..."
"What? Don't tell me you still haven't figured out what I'm going to do." Fiona laughed out loud. "You were lucky last time and escaped. This time, I'm going to let you bear another b*stard child, I'll make sure your reputation is completely ruined."
Fiona then took out her cell phone from her bag. "Also, I'm going to take a video of you exactly like your mother's and then send it to Young Master Julien. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited just thinking about it! I'm sure he will be very thrilled to see it too. Seeing his woman lying under another man's body... Ah... Such a scene is enough to make his blood boil."
Vanessa never knew Fiona was not only vicious, but also lunatic. "Fiona, you' re just doing all of these for money. It's not a big deal right now, but that's if you let me go. As long as you let me go now, I'll make sure Julien gives you all the money you want. I'll even ask him to let you off the hook. But if you insist on messing around... I won't make it out alive, but neither would you..."
When it came to such a cold-hearted woman like Fiona, there was no use begging. Vanessa figured by tempting Fiona with money, there might still be room for negotiation. Vanessa told herself to bite the bullet and persevere. Deep down, she kept praying for Julien to come and rescue her as soon as possible.
A few years ago, he was in Chatterton Town while she was in Averland. Yet, he managed to come all the way to save her... This time, she was sure that he would do the same thing as well. He had promised her that he would never let her get hurt again, and that he would protect her forever.
"Julien!"
"I trust you. You would never let me down, right?"
"You would keep your promise, right?" Vanessa thought in her mind.
Vanessa believed that Julien would come to save her. However, he was still nowhere to be seen even after such a long time. Coupled with Fiona's threats, Vanessa's fear grew stronger. It was so overwhelming that her vision started to blur. Also, she could not hear the conversation between Fiona and Patrick clearly.
Suddenly, she heard Fiona saying, "Patrick, I'll leave her to you. Treat Miss Love well. Make sure she has fun."
"No! No way. Don't come over, don't come over..." Vanessa pleaded while crawling backward. However, being injured, she was no match for Patrick. With just two steps, Patrick caught up with her. Looking down at her condescendingly, he said, "Shall we have some fun?"
Vanessa roared, "Fiona, ask him to stop. I'll give you everything you want."
"Vanessa, if you were more sensible earlier, everything would’ve been fine. Now, it's too late. Everything is too late..." Fiona waved a hand and continued, "Patrick, no matter how loud she screams, just do what you have to. Just like what you did to her mother over ten years ago."
"What? Fiona, you..." Vanessa knew that no matter how she pleaded, Fiona was not going to let her go. The only reason she kept talking was to keep herself conscious and to buy some time. However, when she heard Fiona's last sentence, it completely broke her.
Fiona and this man!
How could they...
There was a dawning comprehension on Vanessa's face.
She would never forget what they had done to her mother, Emily.
These two people had better not let themselves be at her mercy.
Vanessa scurried into a corner until there was nowhere else to go. Watching her, Patrick said, "Keep going. Why do you stop?"
