You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Last Chance

Zoe met Stuart for the first time this afternoon, and she never thought that the first thing he would say to her would be to ask for someone else. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Was Edie’s backing Stuart? That was impossible. How the hell did Edie hook up with Stuart?

Zoe could only sleep with president Luis to get her part. Edie was infamous, and she has definitely connected with L.N. Group’s CEO." She couldn’t believe it.

For a moment, Zoe’s heart was filled with envy. She had completely forgotten how dangerous the man was standing right in front of her is. Zoe grinned and said, "Master Yates, you’ve got the wrong person. I have no idea where Edie is. It would be best if you asked her assistant. How am I supposed to know?"

Stuart’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the chill of his eyes made Zoe’s heart jump. "Master Yates, it is really late, and I am tired. I said I have no idea where she is." She was lying, and she knew there was no proof. He had no evidence, and she was in the clear. She was only trying to comfort herself. It was all right because Stuart was the CEO of L. N. Group and was respected for his demeanor, and there was no way he would do anything to harm her.

She was thinking wrong. Stuart seemed too lazily to talk to her and waved his right hand, Zoe had just realized that he was not alone. Three husky men in black suits came up from behind him, and before Zoe could react, one of them pushed the door open.

Zoe was leaning against the door, and she fell to the ground, hitting her face to the floor. She just laid there on the cold ground, her head was throbbing, and her body was aching all over. "It hurts." Unfortunately, no one cared about her, and no one even looked at her.

Four or five men in black suits barged in. They searched the bedroom, the restroom, and even the closets. They turned the whole room upside down in just a few minutes. They found nothing and respectfully reported to Stuart, "Master, there is no one else in the room." freёwebnovel.com

Zoe finally was afraid, she had tears in her eyes and said to Master Yates, "I really don’t know where she is." Stuart squatted and looked Zoe right in the eye, "I do not want to repeat it, I will give you one last chance."

He was so close to her and she could clearly see that he showed no emotion toward her. His stare was deathly. He would kill her if she said something wrong. Zoe’s body started to tremble uncontrollably.

The man standing in front of her was horrifying, would he let her go? What if she told him the truth, what would happen then? No, she would only face harsher punishment.

So, if she waited and tried to stall Stuart, then Luis would get what he wanted from Edie. Even if Stuart were to go now, it would be too late. It was impossible for Stuart to have a woman who slept with another man, and then Edie would be worthless to him. So, she couldn’t say it!

Zoe tried to avoid Stuart’s eyes. She said, shaking, "Master Yates, I misunderstood. I really don’t know what you are talking about." Stuart lost his patience. He stood up, looked down at Zoe as he crawled on the floor, and waved gently to the men.

Two men picked up Zoe and carried her like a chicken. Another man took out a gun from his jacket, and from the look of the cold metal texture, it was a real one. She was terrified, "What are you doing? This is against the law."

Zoe was scared and struggled desperately, but it was no use. They were too strong. The two men in black held her hands firmly, and she could not budge. There was no escape.

"Crack" The man in the suit loaded the gun smartly with his hands, then raised his hand and put the muzzle to Zoe’s temple. He held the weapon only an inch away from her head. She was consumed with fear and didn’t dare move. The tears flowed down her face like a river escaping a dam.

"Don’t hurt me, please." The man in the black suit had a penetrating voice, "My young master is not very patient, I would advise that you answer honestly. Otherwise, I will shoot you, and you will never see tomorrow."

Zoe was so frightened that she could not speak. She could not fix her thoughts on anything.

Stuart walked up and asked coldly, "Where is Edie?" Zoe’s brain was spinning fast, and she didn’t want to tell the truth. She was desperately looking for a solution, but there was none.

"I will count to three, and if you don’t tell me or if it’s a lie, you will never see tomorrow." Stuart’s voice was like ice, and he was intensely bloodthirsty and hostile. "I...." Zoe tried to explain, but Stuart didn’t want to listen to her nonsense and said, "One,"

Zoe bit her lip. The next second, she heard, "Two." The man’s finger pulled the trigger, Zoe thought she heard the loud noise of the gun in her ear. Zoe finally broke down and cried out, "she’s in Mr. Luis’s room."

Stuart gave the man in the black suit a look, and he put away his gun. Stuart reached for Zoe’s chin, he slightly squeezed it with his hand, and it made Zoe feel like her chin was being crushed.

"Where is Mr. Luis, and who is he?"

Zoe was in so much pain, but she didn’t dare tell him the whole truth, "President Luis of the Universe Entertainment, he has fallen in love with Edie and wants to keep her as his mistress. Edie did not want anything to do with him. Then he decided to do something to her." Stuart’s eyes became hostile, "What?"

"Edie was drugged." Zoe felt the heavy hand on her chin tightening. Stuart held back all his strength, from not strangling her. A blind rage like a fire swept over him, and his voice squeezed through his teeth, "What is the room number?"

"2503" Stuart looked her in the eye and said, "If Edie has lost one hair, I will make your life more painful than death." With that, he left without turning back. The two men who had just carried her loosened their hands and left Zoe on the ground like a rag.

Zoe laid on the ground and breathed a few breathes; she survived was all she could think. Feeling a little wet between her legs, Zoe lowered her head and found that the lower part of her nightdress was definitely wet.
