“My request is to see you or Mason in pain!” Daniel said with a strange smile.
Veronica frowned and suddenly stood up. “You didn’t come here to talk properly at all.”
“What do you mean it’s not? As long as I can see you in pain, I won’t withdraw my lawsuit!” Daniel said.
This guy is definitely not normal! Veronica said, “Well, then you’ll be disappointed. Since you’re not planning to talk properly, I’m leaving!”
As she spoke, she walked towards the door, but when her hand was about to touch the doorknob, her other hand pressed against the door to prevent her from opening it.
“Daniel, you–” Veronica was about to turn around and scold him, but Daniel’s other hand held a square handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose.
This is… Veronica was shocked and struggled desperately.
However, Daniel firmly held the handkerchief over her mouth and nose and refused to let go.
Veronica felt her strength gradually fading and her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred. Finally, her vision went black and she fainted.
It was only at this moment that Daniel let go of her and looked at the unconscious Veronica, twistedly saying, “The real show is just beginning! Veronica, how desperate will you be when you realize that
Mason has abandoned you?!”
When Veronica woke up, her eyes were covered with a black cloth. Even if she opened her eyes, everything around her was pitch black.
She instinctively tried to move her body, but then realized that she was tied up like a dumpling and couldn’t move at all.
What’s going on? How did this happen? Where am I now?!
A series of questions exploded in her mind. Then, she suddenly remembered that before she passed out, she was at Daniel’s house and was trying to leave when he covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. After that…she couldn’t remember anything.
“Daniel?” Veronica spoke up. Although she was bound and blindfolded, her mouth was not covered and she could still speak.
“Here,” Daniel’s voice echoed in the air.
Veronica pursed her lips. Even if she was slow, she could understand that she had been kidnapped by
Daniel.
“You never really wanted to talk about dropping the lawsuit with me, did you?” Veronica asked.
Daniel suddenly chuckled, “Your reaction is quite unexpected. I thought you would scream and cry, but
I didn’t expect you to have the leisure to ask me this.”
“If screaming and crying won’t make you release me, why waste the effort?” Veronica said.
“Since you’re so smart, why don’t you guess what I want to do?” Daniel taunted.
Veronica knew that Daniel, at this moment, was not normal in terms of cognition and mental state.
She used to think that Daniel was just too stubborn, but now it seemed that he was a bit paranoid and delusional.
“You’re not trying to use me to threaten Mason, are you?” Veronica said. She figured that Daniel hated
Mason the most, so it wasn’t hard to guess his motive for kidnapping her.
“You’re right. I want to see how good your relationship with Mason really is!” Daniel’s voice was sinister and close to Veronica. She felt like he was standing right in front of her.
“If you’re trying to test my relationship with him, then you’ll be disappointed,” Veronica said. “We’ve already broken up. Even if he knows I’ve been kidnapped, he’ll only help me report to the police. He won’t risk his life for me.”
“Break up?” This answer clearly surprised Daniel. The next moment, Veronica felt a sharp pain on her scalp as Daniel yanked her hair down, forcing her to tilt her chin up. “Are you trying to lie to me?”
“I’m not lying to you,” Veronica gritted her teeth against the pain. “I broke up with him after you were hospitalized. So what you’re doing now is pointless. If you release me, I won’t report to the police. We can pretend this never happened…”
Before Veronica could finish her sentence, Daniel slapped her hard. Her whole body tilted to one side, and one side of her face burned with pain.
“Break up? How could you break up? He went to such great lengths to make us break up, and now you and him broke up so soon? Are you playing games with me?” Daniel yelled while kicking Veronica with force.
Veronica was tied up and couldn’t resist, she could only take the kicks like a punching bag.
Her body was in pain, and her bones felt like they were about to break.
After a while, Daniel finally stopped kicking and gasped, “Even if you really broke up, I won’t let you go.
Let’s make a bet, let’s see if Mason will come to save you. If he doesn’t come, I’ll throw you into the sea and see if he regrets it for the rest of his life!”
Veronica spat out bloody saliva, “Why… why do you have to do this? You’re only ruining your own life!”
“My life has already been ruined!” Daniel said irritably.
“You still have parents, don’t you care about them? What will they do if something happens to you?”
Veronica said.
“Them? I’ve already made arrangements. Anyway, I’ll have a lot of money, and I’ll start my new life abroad! As for you, whether you can survive or not depends on what Mason will do.” Daniel said.
Veronica suddenly froze, what did Daniel mean by that? What was the big sum of money he was talking about? Did someone pay him to do this?
And what was the purpose of the man who paid him?
Then, Veronica heard the sound of a phone taking pictures. Was Daniel taking pictures?
What was he doing, and where was she now? She couldn’t move and couldn’t see what was happening around her. She couldn’t do anything!
It seemed that all she could do now was wait!
Come to think of it, this wasn’t the first time she had been kidnapped. She was once kidnapped because of her half-brother.
It was only that one time when she was kidnapped with Jasper, and later, the Reed family mobilized a lot of people, with Mason even coming to rescue her personally.
At that time, she was still wearing the necklace that Mason gave her, which had a locator device that allowed Mason to know her exact location.
But what about this time? This time she was kidnapped alone, would the Reed family still go to great lengths to find her? Although Auntie Grace and Uncle Reed were good to her, she was not part of the
Reed family after all.
What would Mason think when he found out she was kidnapped again? This time, she wasn’t wearing anything he gave her, and there was no locator device either.
And the reason why Daniel kidnapped her might be more complicated than she originally thought. He probably had someone behind him!
“Are you…are you really sure you’ll have a lot of money?” Veronica gritted her teeth and spoke, despite the pain in her body. “Maybe…that person is just joking with you?”
“No, that person is not just anyone. Since he’s willing to give me he will definitely give it to me, and he will also help me arrange everything for going abroad.” Daniel said.
money,
Veronica said, “If this person is so powerful, why didn’t he kidnap me himself? Why did he have to use you to kidnap me? Besides, I don’t remember offending such a capable person.”
“It’s not you who offended him, it’s–” Daniel paused suddenly and didn’t say anything more.
“Could it be that Mason offended him?” Veronica guessed.
“Anyway, it’s not something you need to know! Right now, all you have to do is wait for Mason to come and save you. Of course…if he wants to save you, be prepared to risk your life!”
There was a clear malice in Daniel’s voice. “Veronica, since you insist on stepping on me, I will also use you as a stepping stone. This is only natural, isn’t it?”
As time passed, Daniel seemed to want to vent his anger and kicked her a few times. Finally, she passed out.
When she woke up, she found that her blindfold had been removed, her body was tied to a large pillar, and her mouth was taped shut, making it impossible for her to make any sound!
What was going on? What did Daniel want to do?!
She looked around nervously, but didn’t see Daniel’s voice at all. Instead, the surroundings gave her a familiar feeling.
It was like… the auditorium of her old school!
Right, it was her high school’s auditorium!
Even on the mottled walls, there were still the names of her old high school.
This is… their high school?!
Veronica remembered that she had seen news that her old high school was going to be relocated and the original site was going to be used to build a large shopping mall.
So, the place where she was trapped now was a place that could be demolished at any time?!
But why did Daniel tie her up here? And where is Daniel?!
Daniel wanted to use her to lure Mason and harm him. What was Daniel planning to do?!
Various speculations filled her mind for a moment!
But now, there was only her here, and Daniel had disappeared.
She tried to struggle and break free from the ropes, but she couldn’t and there were no tools to use. At the moment, she seemed to be able to do nothing but wait.
This was a place that was about to be demolished, and there should be no one coming here normally.
But she remembered seeing news not long ago that this building was going to be demolished soon…
Suddenly, Veronica shuddered. Demolished? What date was it on the news? And what date was she kidnapped by Daniel?!
She tried hard to recall the date in her mind. It was dark outside now, and she didn’t know what time it was, but judging by her current level of hunger, it shouldn’t have been more than a day.
So… if she remembers correctly, tomorrow is the day when this place will be demolished?
Did Daniel tie her up here to…?!
When the construction site is demolished, her body will be mixed in with this pile of abandoned building debris. Even if someone discovers it, it’s very likely to be considered an accident caused by her mistakenly entering here.
Moreover, this place used to be her alma mater. It’s believable that she snuck in to take a look because she missed her soon-to-be demolished school!
And is Daniel planning to lure Mason here? Then he can make Mason’s death look like an accident too?!
Thinking of this, Veronica breaks out in a cold sweat. If it’s really like this, then Daniel is truly terrifying.
He’s become so extreme that he doesn’t even value human life anymore!
Although she used to have some pity and sympathy for Daniel, now she has none left.
She only regrets not letting Mason beat up Daniel that day. She should have made sure Daniel was hospitalized for a year or two!
