âYes, sir,â K replied respectfully.
Bennett didnât say anything more.
He just stared at Ariana with great interest in his eyes.
At this moment, another subordinate came over and asked, âMr.
Olson, what should we do with her? Should we chop her body and feed it to the dogs?â
As he spoke, he looked at Arianaâs face and said regretfully, âShe is indeed beautiful.
But she shouldnât be so arrogant in your territory.
â
Still, Bennett didnât say a word.
He held Arianaâs chin and turned it left and right.
Then, he stood up, wiped his hands with a cloth, and said calmly, âKeep her for now.
Get a doctor to treat her injuries.
â
After saying this, he turned around and walked away.
The subordinate looked down at Ariana again.
This time, there was a trace of surprise on his face.
He leaned over and whispered to K, âWhat is going on? Mr.
Olson seems interested in this woman.
Whatâs her background?â
He looked at K in confusion, waiting for an answer.
K just stood there playing with his gun, smoking.
He glanced at Ariana without saying a word.
No one knew what he was thinking.
He finished his cigarette and didnât answer the subordinateâs question.
Instead, he crushed the cigarette butt with his shoe and simply said, âLetâs get to work.
â
After a long time, Ariana finally woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying on a giant bed in a luxurious room.
She still felt on edge, and she immediately sat up.
âs
Then, she noticed that the wounds and bruises all over her body had been treated.
There was also an IV hooked onto the back of her hand.
Adriana was overjoyed, thinking she had been rescued.
Maybe Holden had found and saved her.
âHolden?â she called out.
Her voice was hoarse and raspy.
She called Holdenâs name twice, but there was no response.
Ariana thought maybe Holden didnât hear her, so she decided to wait.
But after waiting for a long time, no one came to check on her.
This time, she started to feel uneasy.
If it was Holden who had rescued her, he would definitely stay by her side.
Even if he couldnât be there, he would send Devin, Shawn, or other helpers to watch over her.
It was impossible for him to leave her alone like this.
The more Ariana thought about this, the colder her heart felt.
Her joy gradually faded.
Instead, a sense of alarm surged inside her.
Ariana calmed herself down.
Then, she pulled off the IV needle and cautiously got out of bed to check the door.
To her surprise, the door moved with a gentle push.
It wasnât locked.
Ariana walked out cautiously, only to find herself standing in a stunningly decorated hallway with plush red carpets.
There was dead silence all around.
Even the servants didnât make any sound when they walked.
Ariana grabbed one of the servantsâ arm and asked, âExcuse me, what is this place?â
However, the servant didnât answer Arianaâs question.
She simply broke free from Arianaâs grip and continued with her work.
She ignored Ariana as if Ariana were invisible.
Ariana felt strange.
But she didnât bother the servant anymore.
