"How many times do I have to tell you? You don''t deserve him!"


    "Why didn''t you believe me?"


    She covered her mouth andughed, pinching my cheeks hard. Leaning in, she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really think I''m going to let you be a stumbling block to getting into the Frost family? Do you think I''m like Jessica, who couldn''t even deal with someone like you?"


    "Charlotte, I''ve never failed to get what I wanted since child."


    "If I can''t have it, my mom won''t just sit back and do nothing as I be upset. You''re so weak. Why do you get topete with me?"


    She said this while ncing at a tattooed gangster nearby. "Call Ryan."


    "Okay." *


    The tattooed man responded and immediately went to make the call.


    I frowned and looked at Bethany. "You and Zack are working together. What do you want?"


    "What do I want?"


    She smiled and pped her hands as she stood up, looking down on me. "Are you still worried that I''ll hurt Ryan? Don''t worry. He''s my carefully chosen husband. Instead of worrying about him, you''d better worry about yourself."


    ''looked up and asked, "What do you want to do?"Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    "Tell me..." Bethany ced her hands behind her back, leaned in, and stared at me, speaking slowly, "If I were kidnapped along with you and he could only save one of us, who do you think he''d choose?" I was stunned.


    He had told me this morning to trust him.


    He said that no matter what happened, I should trust him.


    I clenched my fists. "I don''t know."


    After all, thest time there was a choice to be made, Ryan didn''t even look at me,


    Also, I was afraid that if I angered Bethany, she might do something even crazier.


    With the Shaw family backing her, even if she killed me here today, she probably wouldn''t face any consequences.


    "Don''t know, huh?" Bethany smiled cruelly and said, "Then let''s just wait and see today. Charlotte, you need to face reality. Only by doing so will you realize that people like you, a peasant, don''t deserve to be in the upper circles!"


    At this moment, the tattooed man returned and casually said, "Miss Shaw, I''ve made the call. I told Ryan that you and Charlotte have been kidnapped and that he shoulde personally to save the two of you."

    p!


    Bethany suddenly pped him across the face. "You call him Mr. Frost, not Ryan!"


    The tattooed man was irritated but, seeing Zack sitting casually with his legs crossed, quickly repeated," I''ve already told Mr. Frost as you instructed." "What did he say?"


    "Mr. Frost is very anxious and is on his way,"


    "Good."


    Bethany nodded in satisfaction and signaled to the other two people. "Tie this bitch up."


    Zack''s men were all experienced with violence, and their actions were both fierce and swift.


    In no time, I was tied to a post.


    There was no way to resist!


    Just as I was secured, Bethany nced at the stool under my feet and cocked her brows. "Kick the stool away. It''s more interesting when you''re suspended."


    The tattooed man kicked the stool away, and I suddenly lost my bnce, hanging in mid-air and slowly sliding down.


    The rough rope tightened painfully against my skin, creating a burning sensation wherever it touched.


    The lower I slid, the tighter the rope became. Soon, I could barely breathe, and my chest felt like it was, going to explode from the pressure.


    It was so tight and suffocating...
