Chapter 299 - I WONT REPEATE THE QUESTION THIRD TIME (1/2)
Feng Dingxiong's assistant was not aware of her cottage, so he courteously followed after Alice to make sure she reaches safely.
Walking like a zombie, she stumbled a few times while walking towards the cottage but every time holds herself up and keeps on going.
Alice was still in too much of a shock to realize where she was, what she was doing, where she was walking. All she wanted right now was to see the man. Don't know how he will react after knowing that she lost his diamond yet she wanted to see him.
The man's cottage was in the same condition like how she left a few hours ago. Like an absent-minded person, Alice entered inside and shut the door after her as if she had not realized there was even a person behind her assigned the task of dropping her safely to the room.
She slides down against the door, hugged her knees, her body curled into a ball. Inside the pitch dark room, her soft whimpering like a wounded kitten echoed.
”I don't see the diamond. Where is it?”
Alice bolted up from the floor at the familiar voice.
'Click'
The lights at the study table flickered on, revealing the silhouette of a man sitting on the chair
'Click'
With another flicker the lights turned off again.
”S-Sir….” Alice's face becomes sickly pale thinking about the diamond. Until now she wants to see the man to tell him everything, but now she is afraid to reveal whatever happened.
”TELL ME. Where is MY diamond?” The man's voice was oddly cold and unfriendly. It was nothing like how he used to talk to Alice.
”I-I…. Oww….”
Alice had taken a step forward to talk to him but two men came out of nowhere and held her arm harshly, ignoring the cuts and bruises on her skin.
They were dressed in black suits with a lower face covered with a black mask, revealing only eyes.
Alice's eyes vigilantly stared up at those men and she tries to break free from their grip but the more she tried to do so the harsher they gripped her. She finally gave up when the pain in her arm becomes unbearable.
”Ahhh! S-sir can you please ask your men to let go of my hand. I-I'll tell you everything. Please!” She pleaded, tears filling up her eyes. She could feel prickling pain in her chest when the man didn't even bother to look at her once but concentrated on smoking expensive cigar, breathing out smoke in a perfect circle.
”I WON'T REPEATE THE QUESTION THIRD TIME” The man growled like an animal, making Alice tremble in fear. Her eyes become unbelievably wide because he had never used this tone on her.
”D-Diamond… L-lost…. Someone s-snatch it from me…..”
