Chapter 842 Why Not Follow Me?
Mary had no clue how much time had passed when she heard the door creak open again. She sat still on the floor, barely breathing.
The footsteps stopped just a few feet away, and she could feel someone staring down at her.
It wasn't Liliana.
With a raspy voice, she asked, "Who are you?"
After a moment, an electronic voice replied, "You skipped dinner, and so did Nora. If you don't drink water, she won't either."
Mary's breath caught, and she snapped, "That's a joke. You think you can threaten me like that? My biggest regret right now is getting involved because of her!"
The person didn't respond.
The silence was suffocating.
After a long pause, Mary slowly stood up, feeling around for something.
"What are you doing?" the electronic voice asked, grabbing her arm.
Mary replied hoarsely, "I need to use the bathroom."
The person guided her, and she didn't resist. When they reached the door, she said, "If you want to be kind, fix my eyes and let me go."
The person said nothing and released her arm.
Mary let out a bitter laugh, entered the bathroom, locked the door, and began to familiarize herself with the surroundings.
After a long struggle, she found the toilet, her face pale and grim.
How did she end up in this mess?
Who was this person?
She swore that if she ever found out, she wouldn't let them off the hook!
Mary spent nearly an hour in the bathroom before coming out. She had familiarized herself with the environment and began to move around the room.
Everything was pitch black, and she couldn't adjust.
All that remained was endless fear.
"You don't care about Nora, but what about Matthew?"
The electronic voice spoke again.
Mary froze, "What are you planning?"
The voice said, "If you don't eat properly, I'll have people target him, suppress him within the Montagu Group, and make his life miserable."
Mary pressed her lips together, "Go ahead. We're not involved anymore."
The person fell into an eerie silence.
Mary ignored them and continued to feel around.
Her leg bumped into a table, and she felt the items on it. It was a display table with a model ship on it.
She continued to explore.
"Do you really not care about him anymore?"
After a long while, just when Mary thought the person had left, the electronic voice spoke again.
This time, the voice was right behind her ear.
Mary jumped in fright, quickly turning to push them away, "If you want to talk, do it from a distance!"
The person laughed, the sound processed and strange.
"I was just thinking, if you don't care about him anymore, why not come with me?" the person said, grabbing Mary's hand and pulling her in a direction.
"What are you doing? Let go of me!"
Mary panicked and began to struggle!
But soon, she was thrown onto a bed, the mattress soft and springy, her body jolting. Then, she was pinned down!
"Get off, get off me!"
Mary's face showed terror as she kicked and scratched, trying to prevent the person from touching her!
She hadn't felt much fear before, but now, she was utterly terrified!
"So, you still care about Matthew, don't you?"
The person forcefully grabbed Mary's wrists, controlling her movements, making it impossible for her to struggle.
