Chapter 1001

The man settled on the sofa, crossing his legs.

“Don’t waste your energy. The door will open when I decide to let you go.”

“I want to leave now,” Millie said, forcing herself to stay calm.

He ignored her, sitting quietly, leaving Millie feeling utterly helpless.

“What do you want?” she finally asked.

After a pause, he responded defiantly, “Can I do anything I want?”

Millie, now frightened, swallowed hard before responding kindly, “If you want money, just tell me. My

husband is wealthy.”

The man’s response was a sneer. “Do I look poor?”

At that, Millie fell silent. This man didn’t appear to need money, and the scent he wore smelled like

costly perfume.

But why had he brought her into this room?

They remained silent for an extended period. Millie was so on edge that her body began to chill. How

could she escape from here?

In the darkness, the man’s phone illuminated, and he answered it.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

After ending the call, he looked in Millie’s direction.

“You can leave now.”

Surprised, Millie tried the doorknob again, and this time, it yielded.

She glanced back into the room one more time before leaving, but she still couldn’t discern anything in

the darkness, so she hastened away.

Upon exiting the mall and reaching the square, Millie breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize she had

left her bag in that room.

As much as she wanted to retrieve it, she ultimately decided against it.

Millie hailed a cab and directed it to Thomas Group. During the ride, she replayed every word the man

had said.

He had mentioned that she was not sensitive to voice.

Did that mean she had heard his voice before? Millie pondered for a moment, and then it struck her: his

voice resembled a phone call she had once received from the actual boss of D.S Jewelry.

Her nerves had gotten the best of her in the dark room, and she hadn’t recognized it.

Combined with his previous message, Millie’s hands and feet went numb all of a sudden. What did Mr.

Morgan want?
