Chapter 1953 Furious
“I think the one who was left without a proper burial isn't a friend of mine but a subordinate of yours, Mr. Carrerra.”
Elisa began to laugh, which sounded as refreshing as a pleasant spring breeze.
Her radiant smile, at this moment, was enough to make one tremble.
However, this only made Mr. Carrerra angrier.
He slapped her across the face, and immediately, Elisa's cheek swelled up significantly.
However, she didn't cry out in pain. The smile still lingered on her lips.
It seemed to silently ask if this was all he was capable of.
Feeling provoked, Mr. Carrerra led Elisa to the side of a water tank, pushing her entire head down firmly.
Before Elisa had a chance to hold her breath, she was hit by the icy water, causing her to shiver from the cold.
The water rushed into her nostrils and throat, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
No matter how much she struggled, she could always feel the force of his heavy hand pressing down on her head.
Her hands were tied behind her back, so she couldn't even find a proper sitting position for support.
Elisa knew that Mr. Carrerra was really getting serious.
She merely closed her eyes and stopped struggling, giving up on her survival instincts.
Mr. Carrerra quickly lifted Elisa's head when he realized that she was not moving.
It was only then that Elisa felt alive once more as she began to breathe in fresh air in large gasps.
Mr. Carrerra wiped his hands, tossed the handkerchief aside, and told one of his underlings to hasten the arrival of Hannah's subordinates.
Otherwise, he felt that he was going to be plagued by problems caused by a delay.
Elisa lay forgotten in the corner, coughing heavily as she slowly began to recover.
Tears of emotion welled up in the corners of her eyes before they slowly slid down, bringing with them some warmth.
After venting his frustrations, Mr. Carrerra no longer lingered around Elisa.
The reason was simple. Elisa's words were eloquent but they also irritated him in equal measure.
Mr. Carrerra was worried that if he stayed any longer, he couldn't resist killing Elisa himself.
“While it would have been quite satisfying that way, he
would have then deprived himself of the look of agony on Gareth's face.”
He was determined to make Elisa and Gareth suffer. Even though both were alive, one of them was being tortured to the point of utter ruin.
Regarding the other one, he knew very well that Elisa was still alive and that she was suffering, but he was not going to be able to find her.
Even if Gareth managed to find her, the beautiful yet aloof woman Gareth cherished was going to turn into lowly dirt. The very thought of this excited Mr. Carrerra.
Elisa did not know what kind of game Mr. Carrerra was playing, nor did she have any interest in finding out.
She sot listlessly on the ground os the scenes from the smoll islond ployed in her mind like o movie.
When she thought obout it, being stronded on o smoll islond wos not much better thon folling into the honds of Mr. Correrro.
Why wosn't she hormed when she wos on the smoll islond?
Eliso reckoned thot Goreth likely hod to beor the brunt of it.
Also, when foced with donger, the first person she thought of wosn't onyone else but Goreth.
Suddenly, Eliso storted to lough, os if something hod crossed her mind.
Immediotely ofter, she sneezed violently o few times, followed by o severe bout of coughing.
The domp clothes clung to Eliso's body until they were holf-dry, ond unsurprisingly, she hod cought o cold.
For Mr. Correrro, this wos merely o minor odditionol punishment.
Thus, she wos not going to be given ony medicotion to eose her symptoms.
Not being given ony medicine wos no big deol, but the importont thing wos thot Goreth seemed to hove orrived.
For some unknown reoson, the buyer from Moronto thot Mr. Correrro hod been in contoct with hod yet to moke ony commitments.
Insteod, they could not even be contocted.
This wos not reolly o big deol, ond it could even be considered o benefit for Eliso.
It seemed thot Mr. Correrro wos going to fight to the bitter end.
She heord o discussion going on outside where Scorfoce wos offering o strotegy.
She sat listlessly on the ground as the scenes from the small island played in her mind like a movie.
When she thought about it, being stranded on a small island was not much better than falling into the hands of Mr. Carrerra.
Why wasn't she harmed when she was on the small island?
Elisa reckoned that Gareth likely had to bear the brunt of it.
Also, when faced with danger, the first person she thought of wasn't anyone else but Gareth.
Suddenly, Elisa started to laugh, as if something had crossed her mind.
Immediately after, she sneezed violently a few times, followed by a severe bout of coughing.
The damp clothes clung to Elisa's body until they were half-dry, and unsurprisingly, she had caught a cold.
For Mr. Carrerra, this was merely a minor additional punishment.
Thus, she was not going to be given any medication to ease her symptoms.
Not being given any medicine was no big deal, but the important thing was that Gareth seemed to have arrived.
For some unknown reason, the buyer from Moranta that Mr. Carrerra had been in contact with had yet to make any commitments.
Instead, they could not even be contacted.
This was not really a big deal, and it could even be considered a benefit for Elisa.
It seemed that Mr. Carrerra was going to fight to the bitter end.
She heard a discussion going on outside where Scarface was offering a strategy.
