Lisa was more than terrified.
Was the woman in the video her elegant, wise mother?
Adam Huo waved his hand
And the two bodyguards turned off the video and went out of the room.
The door was slammed shut and the lights were turned off, leaving the room in pitch-darkness.
Adam disliked light. Only darkness made him feel safe.
"Now you know who I am."
Lisa, filled with fear, struggled and shouted: "Who the hell are you? Let go of me, you freak! What is going on between you and my mother?! You must have drugged her! ! She must have been forced to do that! ! !"
"Forced?"Adam Huo's narrow and deep eyes glanced at Lisa, who was handcuffed on the mattress.
It seemed that he was satisfied about her.
"I knew it! You'd better let go of me, or I will call the police!"
Adam stood up from the big sofa, took the dog chain and walked slowly towards Lisa.
His pale hand suddenly reached out and locked her chin tightly, Making Lisa hurt.
"At first, the master will scold the misbehaved pet. But if it kept acting up, there is no need to keep it. You name is Lisa Xia, right? From now on, your name is changed to what you saw on the door. Did you see it just now?"
Said Adam in his usual pleasant voice... ...
But his words sent a thrill through her body. She did remember what he said over the phone and she did saw the name on the door, which was not her real name. She wondered what that name had to do with her? She just thought it was a mistake.
Now it's all clear.
"Here, You have two choices. For one, I send you back to Charles. Just imagine what will happen if Charles were to find out that you drugged your sister? What will happen to you?
Adam showed the photos one by one to Lisa, which recorded the whole process of her drugging Linda.
No way... She could never ever return! If she were to fall into Linda's hands, then who could save her mother?
"So... what's the other option?" Lisa held down her fear and asked in a trembling tone.
"The second option is to stay here as my pet. I can help you with your vengeance. You are trying to kill Linda Xia, aren't you?"
A trace of coldness flashed in Lisa's eyes. When she thought of Charles, her eyes was full of hatred.
"Pet..." Lisa frowned and murmured. She was wavering between the two choices. She didn't want to go back, but neither did she want to be other people's pet. She used to be a lady! !
Adam noticed her hesitation. He sneered, opened the box beside him, and took out a syringe and a bottle of fluid.
"What is this? Please stop..."
"It's a nice thing. Take it easy. It's not aphrodisiac... Have you heard of drug?"
The man said in such a gentle voice as if he were whispering to his beloved girl. But the voice sent a big thrill of fear down her spine.
Lisa felt a sting as he injected that syringe full of drug into her arm.
Adam showed no hurry at all. He uncuffed her and sat back onto the sofa.
Lisa's first instinct was to escape.
She staggered to the door, but she simply couldn't open it.
"Take your time, you have a whole day to think." Then the two bodyguards in black pushed the door open, and dragged Lisa, who was trying to escape, into the room and threw her onto the mattress.
Adam strode out the room and the door slammed shut again.
Linda woke up at about 8 p.m. She groped about, finding that, as expected, Charles had already gotten up.
Waking up at this hour meant she was probably going to stay up during the night.
"Bun, I'm starving! !" Linda called out loud.
Bun opened the door, saying: "My Lady, do you have a nice sleep? Dinner is ready."
Upon hearing that, Linda drooled.
Actually, she was woken by her empty stomach.
She didn't eat much at lunch and when she returned home she was a bit upset and only took a few bites.
But she was much better now.
After washing up, Linda went to the living room for dinner. All the dishes served were her favorites, just the same as what were served at lunch but with fresh ingredients. While enjoying her dinner, she asked: "Where is Young Master?"
"Young Master has just left for the company. I saw that Paul was with him."
"He's so hard-working that he doesn't even take a break at night. Such a busy guy..." She didn't know what she was upset about.
But she knew it must have something to do with Charles.
People falling deep in love always wanted to be around their beloved ones. Linda was one of them now and so she could relate to that feeling.
It had dawned on her that she could not stay at home all the time after getting married.
That would be unbearably boring.
She got a bachelor degree in chemistry and also minored in psychology.
She had wanted to be a high school chemistry teacher, but the plan had been delayed because people from the Xia clan came knocking.
She wanted to go to work after her engagement. She wanted an ordinary life.
She know nothing about business and didn't want to trouble Charles.
But she didn't want to idle about.
She remembered one of her senior school mates had once told her that people in love must give each other space, otherwise the one with more time at hand would soon get bored and started thinking too much.
Charles was always busy with works in the company. He couldn't stay with her from day to night, could he?
Linda was enjoying her drumsticks and pondering on her future career when Bun's mockery came up:
"Well, My Lady. It's only been an hour and you are missing him already!"
