| looked at Dazaray and asked with a cold voice, "What did you put in the coffee?"
Dazaray revealed a grim smile. "Nothing. Just something to put you to sleep."
| got up to leave, but my head started spinning as soon as | did. | eventually fell unconscious.
When | woke up, | found myself in a room.
| thought Dazaray would taketo a remote place in the suburbs and tieup after | fell asleep, but not only
did she taketo her place, she did not tieup either.
| got out of bed and walked out of the room.
There was no one in the living room, but there was chanting in another room.
| walked to the room and took a look inside. It looked like a prayer room with a lot of divine statues in it. As many
incense sticks were lit, the place was filled with smoke. Dazaray was kneeling in front of a divine statue, looking
like she was about to ascend into heaven amidst the smoke.

| could not believe that she did not tieup. She was confident that | was not going to escape, hence | saved
my energy and went to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
There were two rooms and a living room. One was for herself, while another was made into a prayer room.
Apart from the coffee table and sofa, there was nothing else in the living room. It did not look like a house at all.
Nina said she was almost 35 years old but
had always stayed single and alone.
Seeing how empty the house was, she probably did not go looking for a boyfriend either.
Soon, Dazaray walked out of the prayer room while holding prayer beads in her hand. She asked me, "Do you
want to drink anything?"
She spiked my coffee and was now askingwhat | wanted to drink?
| looked at her with a cold gaze. "What do you want?"
"It's simple. You just need to give Theo a call and ask him to drop the charges on Jordan and let him cback
from Limbia."
She no longer took her tthis tand stated her purpose directly.
After saying that, she grabbed stea leaves and prepared to maketea.
| could not help but sneer. "You're doing all of this for Jordan? When did you get so close to each other?"
Dazaray pursed her lips, and her expression was mild. "The wages of avarice is death. You, Mrs. Grant, is used to
living a life free of worry, so | don't blyou for not knowing the hardships ordinary people like us go through."
"Oh?" | narrowed my eyes. "How much did Jordan pay you?"
Dazaray suddenly laughed. "What's wrong? Are you planning to paydouble so I'll let you go? Do all rich
people think that money can solve everything?"
| pursed my lips and waited for her to
continue.

"Forget about the money. If you don't want to give Theo a call, then that's fine too. I've brought you here
anyway, so I'm not in a hurry at all. But I'm sorry that you'll have to put up with staying in my rundown house for
a few days. Theo is a smart guy. He'll know what to do when he can't find you."
Seeing the relaxed look on her face, | was a little skeptical. How was she able to kidnapso openly and
without a single trace left behind? It did not make sense.
1 did not plan to give Theo a call, so | decided to drag it out with Dazaray.
The sky slowly turned dark. She was either praying or drinking tea. She was not the slightest bit anxious at all. |
found it weirder and weirder.
Though she said that, she was surely hoping that | would give Theo a call. As she said, she wantedto ask
Theo to let Jordan go.
She could have resorted to violence and forcedto do so, but she merely waited calmly, which puzzled me
greatly.
"Have something to eat. Theo will givetrouble if | starve you."
Dazaray cooked something that did not look appetizing at all. | did not have an appetite and asked her blandly, ©
"When do you plan to letgo?"
