"You're not thinking of using my mom for a deal again, are you?" Jones Ellie guessed.
Bai Xue nodded.
"Bai Xue, one deal per condition is enough. I'm capable of killing you now, do you think you're still entitled to negotiate with me? I'm not letting you die now, which means I'm giving you a chance. What you promise me can't be void. I believe you're a person of your word. If there's anyone you should blame, it's yourself. Blame your soft heart. You gave your only chance to your rival!" And so, she would have to suffer this pain!
Hearing this, Bai Xue started to regret. In her precarious situation, she shouldn't have used her trump card to repay a favor!
"I'll give you two choices. First, let me carve you up a bit with this knife. Second, let this guy have his way with you!" Jones Ellie kindly offered her the choices.
All Bai Xue could do was curse Jones Ellie as a freak in her mind.
However, given the choice between the two, she naturally chose the former.
"You choose the knife?" Jones Ellie saw her gaze resting on the knife and guessed.
Bai Xue nodded.
"Even if I scar your face and disfigure you?" she approached Bai Xue, brandishing the knife.
Bai Xue continued to nod. She chose the knife because, although it would hurt, at least it was merciful. A few cuts wouldn't harm the baby. But that brute would certainly be rough.
"You chose the knife, so I'll give you the brute!" Jones Ellie laughed mockingly.
Bai Xue just rolled her eyes. This woman was definitely insane!
"N-no…" She violently shook her head, her face full of terror. Her fearful appearance was even worse than Bai Wanrou's.
As the brute approached, Bai Xue grew even more terrified.
This pleased Jones Ellie. That's more like it! This is how a captive should behave!
Just as the brute was about to lay his hands on her, Jones Ellie had him stop. She just wanted to see Bai Xue's fear, not actually abuse her. For her, Bai Xue was pitiful enough without the maltreatment!
Bai Xue lowered her head and sighed quietly in relief. It seemed she had bet right, Jones Ellie just wanted to see her frightened and satisfy her twisted desires.
She continued to act terrified. From this point onwards, she would be as timid as a mouse, living in fear!
She replayed Bai Wanrou's terrified actions in her mind, imitating them.
In her entire life, there was only one thing that had truly frightened Bai Xue. It was when she had to go to the morgue to identify her mother's body. At that time, she was so scared that she'd rather die herself. After that, she was never scared of anything again. She was neglected by her father after her mother died, and she was frequently bullied. Being the Mistress of Bai Family made her a popular target among kidnappers. Kidnapping had become a common occurrence and she never felt fear or pleaded for mercy.
The biggest impression people had of Bai Xue was her haughty demeanor. She was naturally a person who would rather die than surrender, valuing her dignity as much as her life.
But for her child, she was willing to let go of everything!
She never expected to care so much about this child or to feel such an intense maternal love, she would do anything to protect this child.
After Bai Wanrou woke up, she was beaten again, several times throughout the night until she was too afraid to wake up again.
The next day, they were dragged onto a helicopter.
Jones Ellie was in high spirits. Bai Xue figured they were going to see Su Yan.
Bai Wanrou regained consciousness on the plane.
