"What?" Nora was stunned and propped herself up in bed. Once again, Clarissa pushed hard to open the door, but still, the door didn't budge. It was then she knew she was not mistaken—the door was indeed locked from the outside. Frustrated and angry, she turned and walked back to the bed, ranting pensively, "Things are looking bad. I suspect they found out that we are not who we say we are." Nora was equally frustrated and whinged, "Oh no. What should we do?" Before she answered, Clarissa thought for a while. "Let's not rush. Let's see what they are up to first. If it turns out bad, then..." If it turned out bad, then it would be a head-on fight. Even when the situation turned for the worse, Nora and she must not separate at all cost. Suddenly, Clarissa remembered the piece of paper that she hid in the corner of the bed. She took it out and examined the map that she had drawn on the paper. When she was done, she folded it and p
When Uncle Jasper finished talking, he stopped his pacing and thought for a while before he continued talking again, "Well, I'll find a solution. If it doesn't work, then I'll get a car and transport them to town. There are collection syndicates. Although the price is lower, that's not a concern now." His words made Aunt Emma turn pale and tremble with fear. However, she did not dare to face her callous husband, so she bowed her head and kept quiet. The light in the room was only put out in the middle of the night. The next morning, everything went on as usual. Clarissa and Nora did not get much sleep the night before, fearing that something might happen. It appeared that Clarissa was correct in that Uncle Jasper would not make a move as soon even though he found out that they were not who they seemed. But, some things did change. From that day on, they were not allowed to have dinner downstairs. They could not even go downstairs, m
They used wet cloths to cover their noses and mouths. After a while, the smell faded, and followed by the door pushed open from the outside. They quickly removed the wet cloths on their faces and threw them into the corner. A row of lights lit up the room as two men sneaked in. They looked carefully at the girls in bed. Clarissa felt a light shone briefly on her face as well as a draft of breath. A low, hoarse voice sounded, "They passed out. Come on over and inspect them!" As he spoke, the sound of footsteps could be heard. The sound was more than one set of footsteps. Bright lights were trained on their faces, and Clarissa could feel the warmth of the lights on her cheeks. At the same time, her heart went cold. She heard a strange male voice say, "Well, not bad, both of them are good stuff." Uncle Jasper smiled nervously and asked, "Then, the price..." "We'll go with the price you asked! Help me carry her to the
Meanwhile, another man who was smoking gave a smile. When he squinted, there was a familiar glow in his gaze. "What a good deal!" Hearing that, Clarissa looked at him and frowned slightly. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the man in front of her looked somewhat familiar. Clearly, it was a face that she had never seen before, but the gesture of holding a cigarette, the smile on his face when he narrowed his eyes, and... She shook her head to get rid of these thoughts. No, that was impossible! He couldn't be here. Clarissa and Nora were not given a chance to speak. After glancing at them, the two closed the door of the carriage. Then, they went to the front seat and started the engine of the car. As they continued to drive along the rugged mountain roads, Clarissa and Nora kept quiet. Because of that, the two men did not pay much attention to them. Seeing the submissive look on Clarissa and N
"I can't hold it any longer. My stomach really hurts. Is your brother back yet?" The man's impatient voice was heard. "He is back. He is back." As he spoke, he walked to the back of the carriage. Crack—! The door opened. Suddenly, a bright light shone through. Only then did Clarissa and Nora realize that they were still surrounded by a vast desolate field, and they couldn't make out where they were. In front of Clarissa stood the man who had talked to her just now. Looking at the ladies, he asked impatiently, "Who's going to the toilet?" Immediately, Clarissa raised her hand and said, "It's me. I need to go." She looked as if it was urgent. With a beautiful face and a slim figure, she resembled a flower with dewdrops. Previously, it was too dark, plus it was midnight, so the men only had a rough glance at the ladies with a torch. As long as they made sure Clarissa and Nora had no defect, they were fine with it. In fact,
After finishing her sentence, she winked at Nora. The two of them had been together for a very long time. For the past few years, other than when they were at home, Nora would usually stay by her side whenever they went out. Therefore, there was already a tacit understanding between the two of them. With a look in Clarissa's eyes, Nora immediately understood what she meant. What she meant was that it would be better this way. If the men were separated, they would be able to take them down separately as well. It would not be easy for two women to handle two men at the same time due to some disadvantages. Hence, it was best if the two of them were separated. It was because the men looked lecherous, and plus the fact that Clarissa and Nora were both people who had learned how to fight. Even if Clarissa was no match for a man in terms of physical strength, she had one of her most powerful weapons—her beauty. Therefore, she was not afrai
"It's impossible!" As a result, she rejected him without thinking. "I don't want to kiss!" As she spoke, she turned her head to the side. He then sat up and looked at her with cold eyes. Suddenly, he let out a sneer. That sneer sounded like a low growl from a ferocious beast, sending shivers down Clarissa's spine. Somehow, she had a vague feeling that she had heard of it before. After a while, he replied coldly, "You are now mine. Besides, we're in the middle of nowhere. Even if I do something to you here, no one can stop me. Are you sure you want to go against me?" Clarissa's lips quivered as she locked her gaze on him. His eyes were as cold as ice, staring at her motionlessly. That glance in his eyes was strange, yet it was also quite familiar to her. How could this be? Why did he have such a look in his eyes? She recognized this familiar look but hadn't seen it for a long time. That person... N
No one knew how many punches she threw. Finally, Clarissa's wrist was caught. All of a sudden, she felt her waist tighten and was pressed down by him. She was immediately taken aback. Just as she was preparing to counterattack again, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. "Is that all you've got? Did you forget all of the techniques I taught you back then?" Clarissa was stunned. In disbelief, she stared at him. He grasped her wrist. His hair and clothes were all a little messed up from the fight just now. His eyes, on the other hand, were razor-sharp, as if they were about to pierce someone. Seeing this, she couldn't help but shiver. "Who are you?" Only a few people knew she was skilled in martial arts, but she couldn't think of anyone who could be here at this moment. Upon hearing that, he smiled. With a bright glint in his eyes, he then added in a low voice, "You've forgotten about me after not seeing me for a few
