There was another man who came back with Allen.
Elaine didn't know who he was.
At first glance, the bad man didn't seem like a nice person either.
"Allen, is this your little fiancee from your hometown?" asked the bald man while eyeing her flirtatiously.
Allen swept a glance at him. "Why? What do you want to do? Don't get any ideas about her, do you hear me?!"
"Haha. Okay. Alright." The bald man giggled.
Turning on the small lamp, Allen smiled at Elaine who was sitting on the bed and walked towards her. "How are you? Are you hungry? See, your brother and I care about you. We bought something for you to eat in case you get hungry."
After saying that, Allen placed the things in his hands on the small table, and then squatted down in front of her. "I'll release you, but don't you run or scream. Can you do that?"
Elaine nodded.
"I like submissive women," commented Allen while giving her an admiring look.
With that, he first tore the tape on her face and took out a knife from his pocket to cut the rope on her wrist and feet.
"Here, eat some," Paul said while closing the door.
Elaine was indeed hungry, so she grabbed the lunchbox on the table without hesitation and started to eat quietly.
She must eat to gain energy in order to escape from here.
Her silence surprised Allen. "Don't you have anything to say to us?"
Glancing at him indifferently, she uttered, "I have nothing to say to you, but I need to talk to Paul. Can you leave us alone, please?"
"What do you want to say to him?" Allen snorted. "Do you want him to let you go? Haha! He won't listen to you, so you might as well give up on that idea."
"Stop making up your little drama. I just want to talk to him in private, that's all."
Allen gave a sinister smile. "Alright. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you room to talk."
With that, he got up and asked the bald man to go out to smoke with him.
At this moment, only Elaine and Paul were left in
the room.
Sitting down beside the bed, Paul asked, "How are you? Do you want some more..."
Slap!
A heavy slap landed on his face before he could finish.
Stunned at first with his swollen face, Paul wanted to slap her back when Elaine glared at him coldly. "Instead of paying attention on your study, you get involved with those punks?! What's wrong with you!"
Paul growled angrily, "It's none of your business!"
"It's none of my business? I paid for your tuition fee! And now you're telling me it's none of my business?!" Elaine sneered, "Okay, I won't mind your business with one condition. Pay me back the money I spent on you all these years and I'll stop minding your business!"
Paul scoffed, "Money! Money! All you can think of is money! Fine, I'll pay you!"
With that, he took out a stack of money from his pocket and threw them at Elaine. "Here!"
Looking at the money, Elaine smirked again. "Do you think this is enough? It's only a few thousand! I spent at least tens of thousands on you. Where is the rest of the money?"
Paul opened his mouth to say something but Elaine interjected, "Besides, is these your money? You stole this! I don't want these stolen money. I want you to pay with clean money!"
