CHAPTER 64

Try Begging Chapter 64

To say I love you while sending her to death… it made him feel genuinely sorry for her. That stupid woman, who pretended to be sick to be caught immediately, would have swallowed the poison as her cowardly fiancé told her to do when she had safely landed in his hands.

His mouth was bitter.

Leon asked, pulling out a cigar from an ebony box on his desk.

“And this week's Winsford stronghold trend report.”

Leon nodded to Campbell, who placed the surveillance report on the safe house, and continued his thoughts.

To get engaged to an unreliable woman…

He has one more story he wants to share with that man.

“Haa…”

Grace wiped the sweat from her forehead with her wrist. His hands were covered with gray dust that even their original color could not be seen.

“Shall we stop here and do it in the evening?”

She let go of the tools in her hand and picked up a broom and a dustpan as she swept the gray crumbs and dust that had accumulated on the floor and flushed it down the toilet.

Clack.

The sound of the iron door getting unlocked was heard from outside the bathroom.

'Why already?! 2:00 would still be far away…!'

As she hurriedly inserted a tool into the gap and glued the panel back into place, Grace put the dustpan into the cleaning bucket in the corner of the bathroom. She heard footsteps speeding this way from the torture chamber.

'Hand!'

She hurriedly went to the sink and turned on the water. As she put her dusty hands under the pouring cold water, Winston appeared through the bathroom entrance.

“Come out.”

His gaze was not on the gray dust that washed away but on Grace's face.

'Ha… I almost got caught.'

Grace washed his hands and face with soap to keep him from smelling the suspicious smell and washed off the dirt from her body before leaving.

“It's already two o'clock.”

Grace mumbled sullenly, knowing it wasn't two o'clock, as she tried to unbutton her gray blouse when Winston took her hand and shook her head. It wasn't strange that he had come earlier than usual and that he had told her not to take off her clothes.

To send her out of the torture chamber.

How long would it be? Even though she didn't know the date, it was definitely the first time since she was arrested.

'Was I going to be escorted?'

As he passed the iron bars in the basement and started climbing the stairs, her heart pounded loudly.

The last time she purposely chewed her tongue and vomited blood, of course, it was discovered and she was severely punished though Winston must have been quite shocked by the incident, and the punishment was weaker than before.

It was as if he had been domesticated as a man.

Did he eventually lose interest and decide to turn her over to command? However, contrary to expectations, the front door on the first floor was firmly closed. Winston continued to lead Grace up the stairs.

Was the expectation of finally letting her go collapse so easily…?

'No. Not yet.'

Officers from headquarters may be in the office.
