Luo Anning’s eyes glistened for a moment before turning emotionless and empty again.
The woman wore an exquisite and gorgeous knee-length dress, with her dark brown, curly tresses cascading down her back and all the way to her waist. She had a face full of exquisite makeup which made her look posh and lofty.
The woman exited as soon as she entered. With a look of disgust in her eyes, she said to the person behind her, “The air is too dirty.”
The person behind her hung his head low in fear and apologized profusely before retrieving some air freshener and sprayed it in the room. It was only then that the woman finally entered.
“Miss Luo, it’s been two years since we met. I hope you’re well.” The woman took a seat on the chair that her bodyguard had moved into the room, and glanced at the disheveled Luo Anning, who still remained as poised and graceful as ever.
Just as Luo Anning was about to say something, she remembered that her mouth had been sealed by tape. The woman waved her hand, after which her bodyguard immediately stepped forward to remove the tape over her mouth.
Luo Anning winced and seethed in pain.
“Didn’t you have something to say? Do it right now, I’m giving you the chance to do so.” The woman raised her chin arrogantly and glanced at her condescendingly.
The disgust and resentment in her dark green eyes were so obvious that she did not seem to be hiding it at all.
Luo Anning smiled faintly and stared at the woman provocatively. “Laurent, were you afraid to see me? Is that why you were so quick to kidnap me?”
“Hah... me? Afraid of you?” Laurent York guffawed derisively and questioned, “Miss Luo, do you need me to remind you of the difference in our statuses? I’m the daughter of the prestigious Marquis York. Why do I have to be scared of you, a nobody?”
“If you’re not scared, why did you have to get someone to abduct me so eagerly, as soon as you found out that I was in England? If that’s not considered being scared, I really don’t know what the definition of fear is.”
Pretending to be enlightened after staring at her for a long while, Laurent smiled and said, “Oh right, I almost forgot that you’ve already climbed the ladder and went from rags to riches, Miss Luo. Now that you’ve become the Young Madam of the Rong Family, you have the guts to go against me.”
Luo Anning pressed her lips together and remained silent, for there was nothing she could do if Laurent were to insist that she was going against her.
Laurent did not get angry about her silence either. Instead, she continued, “I met your husband, Rong Yan three days ago. Seems like he doesn’t love you as much as the rumors have it. You’ve already been missing for three days. How could he not know about it? Oh, by the way, I heard that Young Master Rong had boarded a plane to France at seven last night.”
The smile on Laurent’s face became increasingly vicious and malicious. “So, your life is in my hands now. Even if Rong Yan discovers it, so what? He can’t beat me at my own game and when on my territory. This time, I shall see if anyone can rescue you!”
“From the moment I was abducted by you, I never thought about leaving alive, because no one knows you better than I do, Laurent,” Luo Anning said with a lopsided smile.
Rong Yan made me scram that night. Now that I’ve gone missing, he should be the happiest person in the world, right?
If Laurent was speaking the truth, he should be heading to France and Ireland.
Maybe, I should have stubbornly insisted on staying behind and not tag along on this trip even if it meant that I would have had to defy Old Mr. Rong.
She had once felt fortunate and thought to herself that Laurent definitely had no idea of her arrival. Since Rong Yan’s itinerary and schedule was very packed, she reckoned that they probably would not stay for long.
