She Is A CEO

Chapter 1055 No Room for Maneuver

Hearing Casper's laughter, Nia only felt chills in her heart, and her body shivered even more. Her face was completely pale, making those bruises even more terrifying.

Finally done laughing, Casper walked up to Nia and looked down at her from above, sneering coldly,

"Nia, you really live up to being the woman we trained together with Spencer. To be able to say such heartless words at a time like this, do you think it's because you're too arrogant or do you think I'm too stupid?!"

"I..." Nia could only say the word "I" and her mind went blank. At this time, Casper looked at her eyes, just like the time when Spencer was shot and killed on the cargo ship, cold-blooded and ruthless! At this moment, Kevin sensed Nia's fear and being a man, he immediately defended her.

"Mr. Wood, please don't make things difficult for Nia. We were forced to take this step and establish our own business because you chose to believe Leon and his group without considering the truth." Leon was standing by the door when he heard Kevin's words and immediately burst out with a curse.

"What did you say?!"

Casper raised his hand to stop the enraged Leon and sneered, "When you're feeling proud, call me Casper. When you're in trouble, address me as Mr. Wood. Kevin, you're just a fence-sitter. Unfortunately, since you chose to call me by my name in the beginning, there's no room for you to call me Mr. Wood now!"

Kevin's face darkened, suppressing the fear in his heart as he asked in a low voice,

"Don't you want Stable Growth back? Without us, Lucia would never give it to you!"

"Before, I did want to take back Stable Growth. After all, it was something I had worked hard to establish," Casper said while giving Nia a glare, then continued in a sinister tone,

"However, compared to getting back Stable Growth, my disgust towards you is even greater! Anyway, now that the Wood family is at my disposal, do I still care about a mere Stable Growth?"

Nia and Kevin were stunned when they heard Casper's words. They thought they still had a chance to survive, but Casper hated them so much that he wanted to kill them!

Nia was terrified. She remembered how viciously Casper tortured her last time. This time, she was afraid that life would be worse than death. Thinking of this, she secretly stretched out her fingers to hook Kevin's hand, hoping that he would find a way to escape.

What can Kevin do in this situation?

Frightened and depressed, plus he had been hit by the car accident before, Kevin spit out a mouthful of blood and coughed.

"He's vomiting blood." Casper boasted to Nia in an elevated tone as if showing off.

Nia finally realized that begging for mercy was useless. She became angry from the bottom of her heart and cursed fiercely,

"Casper, you are such a cruel person! If you dare hurt us, believe it or not, Lauren will send someone to kill you all!"

When it came to Lauren, Casper's expression changed slightly, but when Nia didn't mention him, he seemed to have forgotten about that person.

"Let me tell you, Lauren is the Osades of Mexico and my sister's boyfriend. If you dare to hurt us, my sister will not let you go. She will beg Lauren to get rid of you bastards! Go check it out to see if you have the ability to hide!"

In order to survive, Nia couldn't care less about concealing Lauren's identity.

The Osade family?!

How could Casper not know what the Osade family represented? When he fled to Mexico, it was the Osade family's territory that he relied on for hiding. Those two words were already well-known to him, and he even wanted to use the opportunity to establish some connections. However, he never expected that they would not even look at him as a small fry. And Lauren turned out to be a member of the Osade family?!

"How did your sister meet him?" Casper asked angrily, unwilling to accept that the big shot he wanted to climb up to was actually taken by Nia.

"Don't worry about it! You have seen Lauren protect us with your own eyes. My sister knows that you have a deep hatred with us. As long as we don't go back, she will immediately think that you kidnapped us! Casper, if you dare to touch us, you will dig your own grave!" Nia became more confident as she spoke, because she knew that Casper had always been afraid of Lauren.

And, Nia was right about the bet this time.

Although Casper was angry at Nia's arrogant threat, he had to be wary of Lauren's identity. Now Nia's sister Eve was still by his side, and if she were to say something, he would be in trouble... Noticing that Casper was silent, Nia became even more proud and opened her mouth to say, "Casper, you should be sensible and let us go. You..."

Unexpectedly, it was not Casper who interrupted her next words, but Kevin. After catching his breath, Kevin quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Nia, stop talking. Let Mr. Wood think about the stakes. Mr. Wood, if you let us go, we can find a way to return Stable Growth to you. If you kill us all, someone will avenge. Decide it for yourself!" Kevin was more composed than Nia and knew that when he had already gained the upper hand, it was better not to push too hard.

"Casper, both Kevin and I are injured. Even if you don't let us go, at least call a doctor to take a look at us. If we die before you make up your mind, I wonder what you'll do!" Nia's response was followed by darkness and the sound of a slamming door.

Back in the darkness again, Nia no longer had the stern demeanor she had just moments ago. She instead began to cry softly as she asked Kevin, "How are you feeling? Does it hurt?"

"I'm fine," Kevin replied weakly. How could he be fine when his voice had grown so faint? But even in this moment of pain and uncertainty, he was moved by Nia's concern for his own body. "How can you be fine?" Nia cried tearfully. "What will I do if something happens to you?"

Nia sobbed quietly but received no response from Kevin. It wasn't until later that she realized he had passed out from his injuries. In the endless darkness of that night, her sense of confusion and helplessness only grew larger with each passing moment.

All through the night, Nia would wake up crying only to fall back asleep exhausted again and again until morning finally came.

As daylight broke into their room on the second day since their injury-filled ordeal began, Nia shivered involuntarily upon waking up. She immediately tried to rouse Kevin, "Kevin! How are you feeling now?" He'd been unconscious all night long but this time there was a response. "I... might not make it."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Kevin's chest felt tight with pain; even breathing hurt him now as he braced himself for what might happen next - not one to hold out hope for miracles or happy endings in situations like these
