Chapter 279: Foolish!
"What if I refuse?" Abigail responded.
Vanessa frowned, anger flashing in her eyes as she processed Abigail’s words. After staring at Abigail briefly, she said coldly, "You won’t see Milan again, Abigail! You chose..."
Abigail’s calm expression gradually shifted to tension. "What do you mean, Vanessa...?" She paused, covering her mouth with her hand, startled by her thoughts. "Oh, no way. Vanes, are you saying you will kill Milan?" she asked, her shock clearly visible in her gaze and face.
Vanessa stifled a smile when she saw the calmness in Abigail’s eyes fade and transform into fear. This was what she wanted to see: Abigail revealing her weakness.
"Well, you are r—" Her voice abruptly stopped when Betty’s hand covered her mouth, silencing her. She turned to see her mother looking confused, puzzled by the sudden interruption.
Betty leaned closer to her daughter, still covering Vanessa’s mouth. She spoke in a whisper, ensuring only Vanessa could hear her words. "Are you crazy? How could you admit that you would kill Milan?"
Vanessa took a deep breath, attempting to free herself from her mother’s palm covering her mouth, but she couldn’t. "Mom, what are you afraid of? She won’t hurt me because I have Milan as my hostage," she said calmly to reassure her mother.
However, Betty was even more concerned about her daughter’s confidence. She felt that Vanessa had lost her mind, and she couldn’t allow her to proceed with her plan.
Betty grasped Vanessa’s hand tightly and warned her again, "Vanes, did you notice something? Your bodyguard outside can’t stop that man from entering this room." She finally released Vanessa’s hand but remained vigilant to ensure that Vanessa wouldn’t reveal her plan to harm Milan.
Vanessa was stunned. She grabbed her cell phone and quickly texted the bodyguard waiting outside.
"What the fuck are you guys doing out there? Why did you let Abigail enter my VIP room with someone else? I won’t pay your fee if you don’t do your job properly!"
