Chapter 327 Cecily, Then Let's Die Together
"There's no way around it. People always have to learn to protect themselves, don't they?"
Eliza nodded, "And then? You send the video out. Do you think you'll survive? Now that I know there's this video, I'm even less likely to let you go. At worst, our wishes will all fall through."
"Fine, then you kill me, I'll send the video out, and we'll die together. It's not so bad. After all, once I'm dead, my name will be cleared, and I'll have a good reputation. As for you, you'll be cursed and spat upon by the world. Darian won't let you go, the Bennett family won't let you go, and I have some pretty powerful friends who probably won't let you go. You'll be hunted to the ends of the earth. It seems like you're worse off than me. I have nothing to lose."
Cecily calmly pulled up a chair and sat down, looking completely unafraid of death.
Eliza looked at Cecily's calm demeanor and became unsettled herself.
Cecily dared to say they'd die together, but she didn't dare.
If that video were sent out, she might not even have the right to die and would be tortured to the point of wishing for death.
She had worked so hard for so long and hadn't had a single good day yet. She wasn't about to let herself fall into such a desperate situation.
Eliza gritted her teeth, "What do you want?"
Cecily glanced at her, "First, give him the antidote."
"And then? I give him the antidote, and you think you can escape? Don't dream. I found this place after a long search, specifically prepared for you. No matter how powerful Darian is, he won't find this place anytime soon, and you won't be able to escape."
"Give him the antidote." Cecily didn't waste words with her, repeating her demand expressionlessly.
Eliza looked at Cecily, then at Vincent standing beside her, "I can give it to him, but he's extremely dangerous. I need to tie him up before giving him the antidote."
The poison currently incapacitated Vincent, and Eliza didn't dare give him the antidote directly.
Cecily, "Then let's die together."
Eliza bit her lip hard, "I'll only tie his hands. This is for our own safety."
Cecily, "Then let's die together."
Eliza, exasperated, shouted, "Cecily!"
Cecily, "Shall we die together?"
Eliza, "Matthias, give it to him!"
Matthias hesitated, "Miss..."
Eliza roared, "Give it to him!"
Cecily dared to die; she didn't. In this matter, she had already lost.
Vincent woke up from his pain and looked at Cecily. When he saw her come to Eliza's place alone to save him, he thought that if they could escape, he would follow her for the rest of his life. In the future, he would protect her with his life.
At this moment, looking at Cecily, his eyes were full of admiration.
Matthias reluctantly brought the antidote to Vincent. Cecily glanced at it and reminded, "You've taken it before, make sure it's the right one!"
Vincent looked at it, "That's right."
"Good."
Eliza gritted her teeth, "Do you think I'd give you a fake one?"
Cecily raised an eyebrow, "Given your sinister nature, who knows?"
Eliza's fingers clenched tightly, "Since you know he's taken this antidote before, you should also know that it's just a suppressant for the poison. He has to take it once a month, or he'll die next month."
Cecily knew this, but she also knew Kenneth could develop an antidote. A month should be enough time.
"That's none of your concern."
Vincent took the antidote, and Eliza, gritting her teeth, asked, "Can we talk about the video now?"
"Sure, let him go, and I'll stay. The video won't be sent out as long as I'm in your hands. But if I die, the video will be sent out immediately." Cecily calmly explained the situation to Eliza.
Eliza was well aware of this.
As long as Cecily was in her hands, Cecily's friends and family would protect her and wouldn't dare send out the video.
If Cecily died, their leverage would be gone, and the video would be exposed immediately.
But if Cecily stayed with her, she would be extremely dangerous because Darian was undoubtedly searching for Cecily outside.
This place wouldn't be found immediately, but it might be over time.
The more Eliza thought about it, the more annoyed and angry she became. She glared fiercely at Matthias. It was all these useless fools' fault that Cecily managed to bring such a thing in.
It put her in such a passive situation.
The originally advantageous situation was now spiraling out of control.
"Letting him go is impossible."
Eliza knew she couldn't let Cecily's influence affect her decisions and judgment. She raised her voice, "If I let him go, with his memory, he'll quickly bring people back here. Wouldn't that expose this place? Do you think I'm stupid? Don't think you can make demands just because you have a video. Don't forget you're still in my hands. We better not push each other too far."
"Fine, then we'll just stay here. We'll treat it like a vacation."
Cecily shrugged casually, "Come, Vincent, sit."
Cecily pulled up a chair and motioned for Vincent to sit.
Vincent sat down without hesitation, crossing his legs, looking very comfortable.
Eliza's expression turned extremely ugly.
"Very well, Cecily!" Eliza roared, "Watch them closely, don't let them leave this room."
"Yes."
The bodyguards knew Cecily was skilled, and Vincent was like a monster, remembering everything he saw. They didn't dare to be careless, always holding their guns and aiming at them.
Eliza left a dozen people to watch them.
"Bitch!" Eliza, in the next room, angrily swept everything off the table, her chest heaving violently.
"Miss..."
Eliza slapped Matthias.
"Useless, it's all your fault."
