Chapter 398 Wearing the Ring He Gave

I pursed my lips, furrowed my brows at him, not knowing what he meant, “You want to take me away

from River City?”

He remained silent, his thin lips slightly pursed. The meaning was clear, that was the case.

“Why?”

His expression was indifferent, revealing no emotion. He simply said, “I came to River City to make

your lives miserable. I originally planned to torment you slowly, but unfortunately, someone surnamed

Yang disrupted my plans. So, I’ve decided to take you with me. Walter loves you very much, doesn’t

he? Let him experience the feeling of his beloved marrying someone else. It’s quite interesting to desire

something but not be able to have it. As for you, once we reach the border, I have plenty of ways to

torment you.”

I squinted, not quite believing what he said, and asked, “If I go with you, you’ll let Walter go?”

He lowered his gaze, playing with his attractive fingers, and said lightly, “Of course, I don’t mind dying

with you all. But, Tabatha, are you willing to let them all die with you?”

“Them?”

He looked up at me, his handsome brows and eyes carrying a playful smile, saying, “If the day really

comes when I’m cornered in River City, I won’t hesitate to take your family, friends, and lover with me to

the grave.”

I didn’t doubt what he said, knowing he would do as he said, he was a

madman after all.

So, just by letting me go with him, he would spare everyone else? It seemed that Walter and the police

were keeping a close eye on him. He was well aware that if he couldn’t escape, he would have to die in Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

River City.

I didn’t know how he had planned it, but I roughly guessed his purpose. Without much thought, I

directly said, “Alright, I’ll go see Walter, I’ll explain everything to him, and then I’ll leave with you.”

He hooked his lips, slightly squinted his dark pupils and said, “It’s a smart choice.”

I didn’t think too much about the meaning of his words. All I knew was that if I continued to stay in this

pitch-black dark room, I would go mad.

After many days, I stepped out of the dark room and looked at everything outside, I felt a sense of

dizziness. Sweetie and Kitty seemed to have gained a lot of weight. As soon as I stepped out of the

dark room, the two little creatures were rubbing against my feet. The soft touch made me feel a bit

dazed.

There were noticeably more people in the villa than before. It wasn’t hard to guess that it was probably

because Ezra had been targeted by the police and Walter, so they had so many people guarding the

place.

I was ushered into a room by Ezra, thinking he was going to lock me in. I clung to the door he was

about to close, frowning, “Weren’t you supposed to let me see Walter? Are you still planning to lock me

up?”

Seeing how nervous I was, he paused slightly, clearly a bit surprised. But it was only for a moment. He

glanced at me, his face full of disdain, and said, “Tabatha, I told you to take a bath and change into

clean clothes. Don’t you realize you’re starting to smell?”

was momentarily speechless. Indeed, having been bound by him in the dark room for so many days, I

had hardly paid any attention to myself. I felt it was good enough to be alive, who would care about

what I looked like.

Watching his disdainful expression, I didn’t care at all. After giving him a cold glance, I pushed the door

shut. He stopped it for a moment, peering through the crack in the door, he warned me, “Don’t try any

tricks.”

“Bang!” The door closed. I just took it as him blowing off steam. This was his territory. I had no intention

of running, and I knew I couldn’t. He held Walter’s future in his hands.

The New Year had begun after the end of the year, and after the beginning of spring, the air gradually

lost some of its chill. After taking a bath, I came out of the bathroom. Ezra was sitting on the bed.

Hearing the noise, he looked up at me.

Our eyes met, I frowned, unable to hide my disgust, “You even watch me shower, Ezra, don’t you find

yourself disgusting?”

He tossed the clothes beside him to me, his face much darker, and said,” “You sure think highly of

yourself. Get dressed, I’ll wait for you outside.”

After speaking, he stood up and left.

Too lazy to talk more with him, I just glanced at the intimate personal clothing placed on the bed. A

wave of discomfort surged from my heart. Were these things prepared by him?

Holding back nausea, I changed into clean clothes and left the bedroom. He was waiting at the door,

toying with a box in his hands. Seeing me, he handed the box to me and said, “Put it on!”

Inside the box was a pink diamond ring. I frowned and said directly,

needed.

He hardly gave me a chance to say much, directly slipping the ring onto the ring finger of my right

hand. I wanted to take it off, but he warned me coldly, “Tabatha, have you forgotten what I told you?”

I was angry inside, I looked up and said angrily, “I agreed to go with you, but I didn’t agree to anything

else.”

He inexplicably put a ring on my finger. He must be sick.

He snorted coldly, saying directly, “You think you still have the qualifications to negotiate terms with

me?”

Yes, I indeed forgot, now the one who is in a passive position is me.

Looking at the glaring ring on my ring finger, I took a deep breath, stopped making futile efforts, and fell

silent.

Seeing this, he was satisfied and led me downstairs.

I hadn’t seen the outside world for too long, the vast sky, the howling cold wind, the withered branches,

and the bustling crowd. Sitting in the car, watching everything outside, in just a few days, I had a feeling

of being in a different world.

“Call him.” A phone appeared in front of me, it was mine.

Knowing what Ezra wanted me to do, I took the phone and dialed Walter’s number. Almost as soon as I

dialed, the call was answered. A familiar voice came from the other end, “Tabatha, is that you? Where

are you?”
