Chapter 1491
"What are you doing? Who are you trying to harm?" Austin was startled as he desperately tried to
struggle free.
He had been locked up for a few days and lost his strength. However, he was still a man in his prime
years. As he continued to struggle, Rhea could not hold him down. Ultimately, she angrily let him go
and kicked him twice out of annoyance.
Those two kicks landed on his waist, and he yelped in pain. Then he heard her say, "Someone, drag
him to the yard for me!" "Yes, Miss!" Someone immediately swooped in and dragged Austin along
behind Rhea.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce they passed the long corridor, Austin was blinded by the light. He had not been out for a while,
and his eyes struggled to adapt. However, he slowly realized that it was already late at night.
'Where is she bringing me at this time of night? Who is the person she said I killed?’
Questions filled his head, but Rhea strode on ahead without glancing back.
The entire laboratory smelled of various essential oils, herbs, and spices mixed, discomforting the
nose. It seemed like they were the only ones in the quiet building.
Austin got dragged to the yard, where Rhea was sitting with her legs crossed. She casually picked up a
cup of coffee and sipped on it slowly. Some tables and chairs were carefully arranged around the yard.
Rhea's men dragged Austin to her and threw him onto the ground.
With a bang, he crashed onto the ground.
"Rhea! What are you trying to do?!" He raised his head and scolded angrily.
'This woman is terrifying!'
She was like a cat playing with its food. She had no intention of killing Austin yet. Instead, she watched
him struggle to escape, knowing he could not.
Austin was living in endless fear. He did not know when she might lose her temper and kill him. This
fear of the unknown was the scariest to him.
The most important thing now was that he was not the only one involved. From what Rhea said, it
seemed that she had used him as bait, and someone else had gotten hurt because of him. Austin
wondered who that person was.
"Hush!" She raised her slender index finger to her lips and frowned. "You're too loud."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmImmediately, one of her men got the cue and stepped forward to tie him up before stuffing cloth into his
mouth. At this moment, Austin's words were muffled.
Rhea was satisfied by this. Then she looked up at the moon. "Look at how round the moon is tonight!
The sky is so beautiful, yet, there are always people who won't cherish it. They'd still crave more and
would even do questionable things! They even went as far as climbing up the walls!"
She shook her head emotionally before continuing, "Oh, wait. Maybe they're doing this to save you!
Tsk, tsk. It's a pity that they can't guarantee their safety, yet, they would risk their life for you. Don't you
think we humans are ridiculous?"
Austin wanted to reply but could not.
"You should sit back and relax. The show is just about to start." Rhea sipped her coffee and looked
around leisurely. "Some people think they can outsmart me. They'll come out from this manhole here.
They're so focused on saving you that they are oblivious to the danger behind them."
