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 favonovel.com throat when the woman finished.
The coldness of the blade gave favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com threw a crumpled-up paper to Sonia.
It was the first time in Sonia’s life that favonovel.com had to endure such humiliation. When the ropes around favonovel.com limbs were loosened, favonovel.com first instinct was to free favonovel.com wrists.
However, the henchman nearby didn’t understand what courtesy meant and violently shoved a pencil into favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com ears. She subconsciously covered them and, in order to prevent herself from becoming deaf, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com henchmen to stay and keep an eye on Sonia before leaving with the rest.
The room became eerily quiet after the woman left with favonovel.com henchmen.
The remaining henchman thought Sonia didn’t understand his language, so favonovel.com started chatting about favonovel.com with his friends on the phone.
Sonia pursed favonovel.com lips. She was worried favonovel.com wasn’t going to be set free after all. Therefore, favonovel.com started thinking about how to contact the outside world.
She recalled favonovel.com hadn’t brought anything with favonovel.com when favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com could not tell what was going through favonovel.com mind.
He narrowed his eyes at favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com opened the door to the restroom in the private room.
Sonia’s initial plan was to escape by asking favonovel.com to bring favonovel.com to a restroom outside the private room. However, favonovel.com didn’t expect the private room to have its own tiny restroom. Thus, that idea was busted.
Head hung low, favonovel.com entered the restroom with disappointment. Once favonovel.com observed the interior, favonovel.com became even more dismayed.
There was only an air vent and a window inside. She tried opening the air vent, but favonovel.com lacked the strength to do so.
It might be possible for favonovel.com to go for the window, though.
