Chapter 253: Open Flirtation
"Inna, listen to me." Abbot, who was left with Inna in the room, tried to use their alone opportunity to speak with her, but Inna, who wasn’t a fool like he had pictured her to be, quietly ate her grapes and decided to pay him a little attention since he sounded too pathetic to be ignored.
"You have to believe me, I haven’t done anything to either of you, I’m innocent. Your brother is holding me back like a criminal and he’s not being just to me. If you can get me out of this chain at least, I would very much appreciate the help."
"Uhm.. who was the one who made a deal with Elijah to raise Jeremy from the dead?" Inna randomly asked before pursing her lips as if thinking, and then she frowned at Abbot who could read her expression as ’I’m not stupid.’
"Your foolish idea endangered my brother and his wife. What did you think was going to happen once Jeremy became a dead creature? I don’t want to believe you’re stupid to not have seen Jeremy’s plan coming along before he died. If I could punch you myself, but I don’t want to get my hands messy."
"He was my brother," Abbot simply clarified, "I’m sure you’d have gone through the same extent for Cassian. He needed my help!"
"So you killed him and made him a monster that still died. How thoughtful of you." Inna’s sarcasm only got on the nerves of Abbot who could no longer contain his anger, watching the little bitch speak to him with so much disrespect, and all because he’s tied up???
"If I get my hands on you..."
"What will you do?" Elian appeared from a corner as he stepped forward, holding the gaze of Abbot who stopped in his low threat. "I dare you to lay a finger on her hair, and I won’t be so lenient with you!"
"He can’t even if he wants to." Inna teased, standing beside Elian as they stared at the raging Abbot. "He’s tied up, and we won’t let you out of here till we’re done with completing our mission, and getting rid of every creature out there. It’s for our safety."
