CHAPTER 245: CHAPTER 245: WHO DID IT? 5

While Chloe Grant was taking a shower, the maid lit incense, causing her to lose consciousness and fall into a deep sleep.

When Chloe Grant awoke, she found herself tied to the bed. She struggled a little, and the place where she was bound made her wrists sting with pain.

She was panicked and scared.

Her mind had already imagined countless terrifying scenarios.

What tormented Chloe the most was the extreme silence of the room, and no one came.

If it wasn’t for the relationship she had with Matthew Morgan before, she would know she hadn’t been touched yet; otherwise, she would have gone crazy!

But...

Why was she tied up here?

As time passed slowly, the pain on her wrists persisted, and the room remained quiet without anyone.

Chloe felt that her mental state was being tortured to the point of breaking down...

And!

Just as she was about to lose her endurance, a man’s face suddenly appeared before her!

It appeared without any warning!

And because of the light and the man’s black clothes, at first glance, Chloe thought she saw just a head... Her face turned deathly pale!

In extreme panic, she couldn’t even scream.

The man moved slightly, tilted his head, and looked at her face, asking, "Still a virgin?"

He stood up.

Chloe’s body was gripped by a mix of numbness and rigidity born of intense panic, with a tremor.

She did not answer, still reeling from the shock.

The person standing beside her drew out a knife from a luxurious place... The cold blade, under the light from behind, reflected a strange white gleam.

Chloe snapped back to reality, looking at the strange man, "I...you, you want to kill me..."

Dismemberment?

Or something else...

"Kill you?" The man found these words amusing.

He leaned down, and the knife pressed against Chloe’s face.

Chloe stared at the knife, watching it slowly move down her face, to the point where she could not even feel her heartbeat due to her nervousness!

Especially when the knife reached her lower abdomen, Chloe felt like the man might disembowel her outright!

"Snap"

Finally, in Chloe’s utmost panic, the knife cut through the ropes by her sides.

As soon as her wrists were free, Chloe immediately got up, watching the strange man before her warily.

Even in this room, he wore sunglasses, and there was a bizarre curve at the corner of his mouth.

And...!

Before Chloe could react further, he suddenly raised the knife and cut a gash on Chloe’s arm.

"Ah..." Chloe gasped in pain, raising her hand as the blood from the wound dripped onto the white sheets, forming a strange floral pattern.

The man, who appeared so mysteriously, spoke little, and his actions were baffling.

Chloe was terrified, but kept telling herself.

Stay calm!

Stay calm!

You must calm down first, and then figure out a way to escape this place!

After cutting Chloe’s arm, the man made no other moves or spoke further.

The atmosphere in the room was so eerie that it was unbearable.

"Sir, can we negotiate a deal?"

Finally, Chloe took the initiative to speak.

The man tilted his head and raised an eyebrow, "You want to negotiate a deal with me?"

He seemed to have heard a joke, "What bargaining chip do you have to negotiate with me?"

"What kind of bargaining chip do you want?" Chloe directly asked in return.

The man’s behavior was strange, and his actions baffling.

But Chloe thought of one thing...
