"Alright!" Jones Ellie had agreed to make the deal with Bai Xue.
Bai Xue was right. She only stood to gain from this situation. If she were able to kill all three of them, it would eliminate any follow-up complications. If she couldn't, at the very least, she could guarantee her mother's safety.
She found herself trusting Bai Xue, trusting that she was a woman of her word.
That bitch Bai Wanrou, she wanted to torment her, but compared to her mother's safety, Bai Wanrou was simply insignificant. Besides, if she didn't let anyone defile this bitch, there were still plenty of other ways to torment her!
Bai Wanrou exhaled a breath of relief.
Bai Xue's expression remained unchanged. The debt of gratitude was repaid.
"Thank you, Sister Xue..." Bai Wanrou knew that until Su Yan could save her, she would still have to rely on Bai Xue.
"Don't mention it." Her actions were not for thanks.
Just as Bai Wanrou thought she was safe, she was suddenly lifted up!
"Ah..." She screamed.
"Shut up!" Jones Ellie slapped her across the face.
"You... didn't you promise Sister Xue you wouldn't touch me?" her body trembling. Hadn't that been the agreed-upon arrangement?
"I didn't promise her I wouldn't touch you!"
"Sister Xue..." Bai Wanrou pleaded, turning to Bai Xue for help.
Before Bai Xue could respond, Jones Ellie cut in, "Don't bother speaking up for her, Bai Xue. I must teach this one a lesson!"
Ellie had to admit, Bai Xue was persuasive. It was better not to listen to her sweet talk, so she ordered her men to seal Bai Xue's mouth shut.
Bai Xue closed her eyes, knowing she couldn't stop what was to come.
All she could hear were the agonizing screams and pleas for help.
Bai Wanrou was a delicate woman, never known hardship. Even the smallest bumps and bruises would reduce her to tears. Today's torture, however, was far beyond what she could bear. She soon lost consciousness due to the intense pain.
Jones Ellie kicked her, "Useless bitch!"
Fainting so quickly, that's disappointing.
She looked at Bai Xue.
Bai Xue was meditating with closed eyes. Even though she was a captive, she showed no signs of defeat or discomfort. It was almost as if she was dozing off in her own living room.
This annoyed Jones Ellie tremendously!
She turned around and picked up a knife, then ordered two of her associates to stand before Bai Xue.
Bai Xue frowned slightly.
"Bai Xue, you're here to be punished, not to enjoy leisure! I can't stand your seeming comfort. However, I do admire you. So, how would you like me to inflict some pain on you? To lighten up my mood?" Ellie, who usually had her way, may have had admiration for Bai Xue, but she disliked the high and mighty attitude that permeated from her. Inflicting pain to someone with such a will, seeing a woman who held herself high begging in tears... that was what truly made her happy!
If it had been in the past, Bai Xue wouldn't have flinched, letting the torture happen. As long as she wasn't killed, opportunity for retaliation would always be there!
But now, things were different! She had a baby!
She had things to fear, things she wanted to protect, and that was her weakness!
Fear passed through her eyes.
Seeing this, Jones Ellie mocked her, "So you are a coward! Afraid before the actual physical punishment begins!"
Bai Xue shook her head, her mouth muffled, as if demanding Ellie to tear off the tape; she had something to say.
"Oh no, we can't take off your tape! Who knows what you'd say. That could waver my resolve," Jones Ellie shook her head.
Bai Xue stared back at her.
