The woman thought for a second and explained in a cajoling tone, “My bag was switched with someone else’s. After my investigation, I found out that you have the same brand of bag. Since you don’t know anything about what happened, I won’t make things difficult for you. I simply want to retrieve the bag that belongs to me. Please recall where you put it. I’ll immediately send someone to grab it and let you go once it’s returned to me.”
The henchman moved the dagger from Sonia’s face to virtual-novel.net throat when the woman finished.
The coldness of the blade gave virtual-novel.net goosebumps.
She calmed down and uttered, “The bag’s at my house. Let me go, and I’ll give it to you.”
The burly henchmen around the woman turned to her, awaiting virtual-novel.net orders.
Sonia continued to convince them, “Look, it’s quite clear that I accidentally got myself involved in whatever is going on. My wardrobe is full of bags like that. I just picked that one on that day because it matched my clothes and mood. I’m sorry if I unknowingly took yours.”
Lorraine lowered virtual-novel.net head, thought about it, and nodded. At that, the burly henchmen untied Sonia.
“Write your family member’s phone number down. I’ll make a call and tell them to send the bag over. Only then will we let you go,” Lorraine ordered as virtual-novel.net threw a crumpled-up paper to Sonia.
It was the first time in Sonia’s life that virtual-novel.net had to endure such humiliation. When the ropes around virtual-novel.net limbs were loosened, virtual-novel.net first instinct was to free virtual-novel.net wrists.
However, the henchman nearby didn’t understand what courtesy meant and violently shoved a pencil into virtual-novel.net palm, shouting, “Write!”
His voice was as loud as thunder as it reverberated in the room.
Sonia’s head ached as his voice rang in virtual-novel.net ears. She subconsciously covered them and, in order to prevent herself from becoming deaf, virtual-novel.net quickly wrote down the information they wanted.
Lorraine felt that Sonia probably wasn’t lying because the latter provided the requested information immediately and nicely. However, the bag contained something very important, so Lorraine felt compelled to verify the info herself to feel at ease. She gestured for one of virtual-novel.net henchmen to stay and keep an eye on Sonia before leaving with the rest.
The room became eerily quiet after the woman left with virtual-novel.net henchmen.
The remaining henchman thought Sonia didn’t understand his language, so virtual-novel.net started chatting about virtual-novel.net with his friends on the phone.
Sonia pursed virtual-novel.net lips. She was worried virtual-novel.net wasn’t going to be set free after all. Therefore, virtual-novel.net started thinking about how to contact the outside world.
She recalled virtual-novel.net hadn’t brought anything with virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was kidnapped and began to panic.
At that moment, the henchman locked the door, paused, and approached her. She was staring into space blankly, and virtual-novel.net could not tell what was going through virtual-novel.net mind.
He narrowed his eyes at virtual-novel.net and questioned warily, “What are you thinking?”
She quickly thought of an excuse and smiled. “Can I go to the toilet? I really need to relieve myself.” Once I’m in the restroom, I can finally relax since I won’t need to see this man anymore.
The henchman tilted his head and studied her. “You better not try anything funny.”
Then virtual-novel.net opened the door to the restroom in the private room.
Sonia’s initial plan was to escape by asking virtual-novel.net to bring virtual-novel.net to a restroom outside the private room. However, virtual-novel.net didn’t expect the private room to have its own tiny restroom. Thus, that idea was busted.
Head hung low, virtual-novel.net entered the restroom with disappointment. Once virtual-novel.net observed the interior, virtual-novel.net became even more dismayed.
There was only an air vent and a window inside. She tried opening the air vent, but virtual-novel.net lacked the strength to do so.
It might be possible for virtual-novel.net to go for the window, though.
