Chapter 35 He Overestimated Her Importance
The girl kneeling on the ground brought back memories for Elianna. In her memories, she had also knelt on the ground, desperately pleading.
The girl grabbed the hem of Elianna's clothes, "Please let me in and hide for a while. I promise I won't drag you into it. I'm really scared."
With her thin face and eyes filled with pleading, she looked pitiful no matter how you looked at her.
Elianna's gaze went from dazed to touched, and the girl saw victory in her eyes.
"Sister, please help me."
Elianna looked down at her, and her tone was indifferent, "If you don't want to stay here, why do you go to the top floor?"
When the girl heard this, a hint of annoyance flashed through her lowered eyes.
She glanced in the direction Case had gone. Her plan was to deceive Elianna by getting her inside and then have Elianna help her get rid of Case.
Otherwise, if Case came back and found Elianna dead, she would have no way to escape.
Thinking of this, the girl continued to play the pity card, "There are people watching outside. I can't leave. Sister, you're also a woman. Please help me. I've worked so hard to escape, and I don't want to be a prostitute."
Elianna furrowed her brows.
She had been tricked by Clare once, and she couldn't unconditionally trust a stranger.
But, what if what she said was true?
If her lack of trust ended up ruining this girl's only chance to escape...
The girl's words touched her. She was also a woman, and she couldn't turn a blind eye to a girl seeking help.
"Fine, come in with me."
The girl quickly stood up. "Thank you, sister. Once I escape, you'll be my savior."
The girl followed behind Elianna, and her eyes were scanning the surroundings and settled on the safe.
Coincidentally, as soon as they entered, Case came back.
Case knocked on the door, "Ms. Gentry, your water."
Under the girl's pleading gaze, Elianna went to open the door.
She stood at the doorway, pulling the door halfway open. "Give it to me."
Case nodded and handed the bottled water to Elianna.
Behind her, the girl had already reached for the dagger at her waist.
As long as Elianna sent Case away, she could finish her off.
The door slowly closed, and the dagger gleamed with a cold light. Elianna's life had entered its countdown.
-
Inside the elevator.
"Jeff, you don't have to worry. Case is on the top floor. That little bitch won't get any advantage."
Jefferson pursed his lips, "You forgot that there's another person up there."
"Do you mean Ms. Gentry?"
Albert nodded earnestly, "Yes! What if she holds Ms. Gentry hostage?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. That little bitch had put in so much effort, and she must be heading for the safe on the top floor.
If she ran into Ms. Gentry, it would be a tragedy.
Thinking of this, Albert couldn't help but look at Jefferson.
The man stood there, looking calm and composed.
He seemed as relaxed as if the person upstairs was of no importance.
Albert clicked his tongue. It seemed that he had overestimated Elianna's importance in Jefferson's heart.
He had thought that he would see Elianna's body when he went up, but he never expected to see a girl tied up like a dumpling.
Elianna was standing next to Case.
Elianna was saying something to Case, and from the looks of it, they were having a pleasant conversation.
Albert approached with surprise on his face. He slapped Case's big head, and then he winced in pain and shook his hand. He grinned and said, "Well done, Case. This little bitch was very cunning. So many people couldn't catch her, but you caught her alone!"
Case respectfully bowed to Jefferson before answering, "It was Ms. Gentry who helped. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to catch her."
Jefferson raised his eyebrows and looked at Elianna beside them, "What?"
Case explained, "Ms. Gentry tricked her into coming inside and then she gave me a signal to attack, which allowed me to subdue her." Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
