CHAPTER 243: CHAPTER 243: WHO DID IT? 3

Sold off?

These three words left Chloe Grant completely stunned.

The bearded man waved his hand, signaling someone to take Chloe away.

That gentleman is notoriously picky; having finally chosen Chloe from the photos, there could be no mistakes.

"No! I’m not going! You’ve got it wrong. How can I be sold? I was kidnapped... Let me go...!"

Realizing what’s happening, Chloe suddenly starts to struggle violently.

But the two bodyguards holding her are strong, and after struggling for a long time, she couldn’t break free. Finally, Chloe turned her head and bit one of the bodyguards’ wrists. The man yelped in pain... Chloe took this opportunity to break free and immediately ran forward!

There was no way forward, so she could only climb up the stairs!

"Don’t run!"

"Stop!"

The bodyguards chased after her, and Chloe didn’t dare stop for any reason, survival instincts driving her to use all her strength!

She climbed the stairs, and the higher she got, the more the scenery changed entirely.

Where Chloe had just been was damp, dark, and dilapidated!

But where she was now was bright and luxurious!

This seemed to be a luxury yacht, sailing at sea.

Why am I here?

Why!

Chloe couldn’t find any reason!

And at this moment, she couldn’t afford to find any reason! To avoid being caught, she could only see the path ahead and run. She nearly fell several times but didn’t dare to fall!

If she fell, it would be over for her!

"Quick! Don’t let her get up there!"

Behind, the bearded man suddenly shouted loudly.

By now, Chloe had already reached the stairs.

It was the longest stairway leading up, and Chloe struggled her way up! The bodyguards behind her had caught up and started to pull at her feet, trying to drag her down!

"Get away! Get away!"

Chloe started kicking wildly, hitting with her hands!

But...!

She had just kicked away the person grabbing her feet when someone else climbed up and grabbed her wrist...!

"Get away!"

Chloe struggled vigorously, and just then both her feet were grabbed, and she was suddenly pulled down, falling together with several bodyguards with a heavy thud!

Chloe was fine since the bodyguards cushioned her fall.

Her body was okay, but the impact was so strong she was a bit dazed.

And before Chloe could respond, her shoulder was grabbed, forcing her to be flipped over, followed by a solid slap on her face.

She was already dizzy, and now countless stars appeared before her eyes.

"I’ll tell you this, since you’ve already been sold to me, Black Beard, don’t think of causing any trouble!"

The bearded man said as he grabbed Chloe’s hair, forcing her to lift her face.

He leaned in close, "Three million! You’re the best bargain I’ve bought in years! I’m warning you, go clean yourself up right now and serve the gentleman well, or I won’t mind tossing you to these men of mine for the same three million!"

Black Beard spat his threats while the scars on his face, barely covered by his beard, looked hideously terrifying.

Chloe’s body shuddered violently.

"I... Why am I here..."

She almost weakly said, "I was kidnapped here!"

"I don’t care how you got here! I only know I paid for you. To me, this is a transaction."

Black Beard was clearly impatient to deal with Chloe, standing up, giving an eye signal to the bodyguard next to him...
