With a smile, Allen squatted down. "Are you surprised to see me?"
Calmly, she asked, "Where am I?"
"Now that you're together with a rich man, you really do seem different. You seem so emboldened." Then, Allen directly sat on the ground. "Zoe told me that you had cut ties with your family. I didn't believe it at first, but I believe it now. You really are a different person now. All grown up."
With a frown, she asked, "What do you want from me? Money? Or what?"
Since he had kidnapped her and brought her here, there must have been something that he wanted. Otherwise, he would not have worked together with Zoe to kidnap her.
Nonchalantly, Elaine uttered, "I don't have money, nor anything else that I could give you. I think you know clearly about my family's condition, as well as mine."
"Of course, I know." Slowly, Allen took another sip of beer. "Although you don't have money, you have a pretty face. You have become even prettier these days, and it makes my heart itch."
When he spoke, he stared at her shamelessly with an explicit gaze.
It made her feel so disgusted that she wanted to throw up.
However, when Allen saw the expression on her face, he suddenly had a fit of inexplicable anger. "B*tch, what's there to be aloof about? Are you trying to act aloof just because you hooked up with a rich person? Do you think I'm not up to your taste now?"
Angrily, he scolded, "You b*tch!"
At that moment, she felt as if he was a lunatic, so she decided to shut her mouth, and she refused to look at him.
Then, she started to look around and realized that she was in an empty room. At the corner of the room, there was only a table and a few chairs. Other than that, there was a blackboard on the wall.
For a moment, she was stunned, then she wondered whether she was in an abandoned school.
Just as she was thinking about how to escape, Allen suddenly threw away the bottle in his hand. "Don't even think about escaping. There's no way you could escape!"
Silently, Elaine glanced at him.
"Are you waiting for others to come and save you? Don't even think about it. No one will come." Coldly, Allen looked at her. "Unless, if you cooperate with me, then I will let you go."
"What do you want to do?"
"Record a video and ask Howard to transfer me five million."
"Are you crazy?" Finally, Elaine knew what he was up to. "There's nothing between Dr. Perkins and me. What is the use of blackmailing him?"
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's useful or not."
After that, Allen took out his phone and turned on his camera as he said to her, "Mess up your hair a little. Then, look at the camera and ask Howard to come and save you. Tell him that you have been kidnapped and that he needs to pay five million for ransom!"
However, Elaine didn't even moved an inch.
"Did you hear me?"
Quietly, she sat on the ground and remained in her original position. "Allen, do you think a man who has nothing to do with me will pay five million just to get me out?"
"Well, we would have to try to find that out."
With a frown, she looked at him. "Allen, you will receive your retribution." "Retribution? Never had I believed in retribution!" Then, Allen began to grow impatient. "Are you going to record it or not?"
"Since it would be useless to do so, why should I record it?"
"Well, if that's the case, you want me to do it by force?" Immediately, Allen's hungry gaze fell on her. "You better not regret it by then!"
Since Elaine watched the video that Vincent had shown her, she had already developed some fear toward sex. At that moment, Allen was currently staring at her with such an obscene gaze that it made her feel her scalp become numb.
It would be a lie if she were to say that she was not afraid.
However, she couldn't get Dr. Perkins into trouble.
"If you were to ask Dr. Perkins for money, it would be better for you to ask another man for money." A moment later, Elaine uttered.
