    As I slowly began to suffocate, my consciousness became somewhat blurred.


    I felt so ufortable...


    So ufortable that I wanted to die.


    Originally, I no longer wished to have any ties with Ryan, but in this situation, he was the only one I could think of.


    ''Ryan... please hurry... save me..."


    Just as I was about to lose consciousness, when a bucket of cold water was suddenly thrown over my head.


    The cold wind was already sweeping through the basement, and now this, not only brought me back to some level of consciousness but also made me shiver uncontrobly. The icy water streamed down my face, sliding into my cor and neck.


    The cold was bone-chilling.


    I barely opened my eyes and noticed that Bethany was also tied up to a post nearby.


    In fact, she had two red handprints on her face and her clothes were dirty, looking quite disheveled. However, she was standing calmly on a chair beneath her feet.


    I gave a cold smile, my voice a bit weak, "It seems you''re quite the actress too."


    "Does it matter if I''m an actress or not?"


    Bethany spoke with confidence, "You just need to know who he''ll choose!"


    At the same time, the sound of a car engine came from outside.


    Bethany kicked the chair from under her feet and nced at me, her tone lofty. "Charlotte, don''t me me. You can only me yourself for having such a low status. You''re just a pawn for me to manipte." Soon, a familiar figure walked in against the light, his posture upright, still in the same tailored suit from the morning.


    His gaze immediately fell on me, his pupils narrowing, and the next second, he was blocked several meters away by someone.


    Zack smiled and lit a cigar. "Mr. Frost, it''s really not easy to see you."


    Ryan''s face was dark and stern as he red at him. "Release them."


    "Today, I originally wanted to discuss business with Mrs. Frost."


    Zack sat in a chair. "However, my men suddenly told me that this Miss Shaw is also involved with you in a questionable way. So, I wasn''t sure whom to kidnap, so I brought both." "Speak, what are your conditions?"


    Ryan spoke impatiently.


    Zackughed. "I don''t want to talk about conditions now. I just want to see who Mr. Frost... wants to save.


    Ryan''s eyes narrowed dangerously. "What are you trying to do?"


    A handgun was ced in front of him.


    Zack said perversely, "There''s only one bullet left in this gun. Mr. Frost, you can choose anyone to use it on, and the rest is up to you."


    In other words, the gun had to be aimed at either me or Bethany.


    Ryan''s jaw was tightly clenched. He was too far away for me to clearly see his expression.


    My breathing involuntarily slowed.


    Ryan''s voice was icy and spine-chilling. "Are you sure?"


    "Well, Mr. Frost, do you care about two women at the same time? Killing someone insignificant doesn''t matter, right?" Zack clearly didn''t value lives. Ryan held the gun but did not act immediately.


    Zack suddenly took another gun from his men, pointing it first at me, then shifting it to Bethany, swaying it back and forth.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    My heart instantly began to race!


    No one was fearless.


    I was no exception.


    Bethany looked at Ryan desperately. "Ryan, save me!"


    "Still not made up your mind yet?"


    Zack skillfully chambered his gun. "I''ll count to three. If Mr. Frost hasn''t decided, I''ll have to make the choice for you!"
