Hearing Nelson's words, Monique paused for a moment.
However, she was not a pushover and she soon returned to her usual composed self.
"If you dare to say so, then I'll take your word for it. You have to show your sincerity, though."
Nelson quirked his eyebrow and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
He was already in such a miserable state, so he had nothing more to worry about. As a result, he became quite collected.
Monique asked mischievously, "How about killing Naomi?"
Nelson pulled a long face instantly. Monique laughed out loud at the sight of that while saying, "What? Are you scared? I know that I can't win your heart back, so forget it!"
Nelson was vexed as he said in reply, "What on earth do you want me to do?"
"Didn't I say it already? Kill Naomi!"
Nelson warned her sternly, "You can't do that!"
"Why can't I? Amos forced me into a corner. Can't I kill his daughter for revenge?"
"You're not that kind of person. What you want is freedom, don't you? It's not worth risking your life to kill her."
Monique was like a psychopath at the moment. She might do anything once she was irritated. Amos was powerful indeed, but nonetheless, he couldn't be on guard all the time.
That was why Nelson no longer dared to be too rash. On the contrary, he had to be cautious and patiently analyze the situation with her.
"Worth it? What? I don't care about all that anymore. I have nothing to lose. I'm all alone, so what if I risk my life? After all, there's no one who cares about me."
Nelson frowned for a long time.
He finally spoke in a low voice, "How do you know there's no one who cares about you?"
Monique sneered and asked, "What? Have you changed your mind?"
"It's not that I have changed my mind. I'm just thinking that it's better to live than to die. Besides, haven't you said that you want to make a comeback?"
"Why don't we leave here together? You can start all over again elsewhere."
Monique was dubious about his suggestion. She asked, "Are you helping me or Naomi?"
"Regardless of whom I'm going to help, isn't it still a good thing for you?"
Monique nodded and said, "You're right. It's better to live than to die. What's more, the thought of dying in Rosaville City like this really irritates me a lot. It's just that they were guarding so strictly outside. How do you think we can escape?"
Nelson replied, "I will find a way to contact Patrick and he might be able to help us!"
Monique nodded and replied, "Okay! I'll trust you once again. If you play a trick on me this time, I'll definitely get back at you for it!"
Nelson pursed his lips before he said, "I absolutely won't do anything! I want to leave this place too."
Monique nodded and left the room. Her subordinate, who was following behind her, was a little hesitant.
"Miss Monique, do you really believe him? He changed his attitude so quickly. Be careful as he might pull a fast one on you!"
Monique chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? He has outwitted me too many times. I'm certain he's lying. Don't worry, I'll counter his moves. Come, I need you to help me with something. First, you'll..."
Monique whispered to her subordinate for a while before she turned around and went back to
Nelson.
"Although my place is shabbily furnished, I have prepared all the necessary household products. If you are hungry, you can cook for yourself."
"I'm not hungry. I want to have a rest."
"You can rest over there!" said Monique while pointing in a direction.
Monique was telling the truth. She had prepared this basement some time ago and there were truly a lot of things in it.
The dinner provided on that day was also quite sumptuous. Monique claimed that it served as a warm welcome for him.
After eating and drinking, he laid on the bed. Whenever he closed his eyes, Naomi's disappointed expression would appear in his mind.
Recalling the moment when her tears had fallen down her face, he felt extremely downcast and discouraged.
