Chapter 54

Simone Milton’s threat instantly changed the expressions of the investors present.

They weren’t really worried that reporting the incident to the police would harm their reputation.

Just as Simone Milton said, if this matter gets out of hand, their family definitely won’t be able to live in peace.

The fat man sitting in his seat quickly stopped making those unpleasant faces. After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to put on a more friendly expression.

“Miss Milton, what are you saying? If you don’t want to, we won’t force you. Why make such a big deal out of it?” The fat man spoke cheerfully, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

However, Simone Milton had a hunch that this fat man might try to trick her. These investors are extremely arrogant. After being threatened like this, there’s no way they’d feel happy about it.

Sure enough, what this fat guy said next made perfect sense: “Let’s just consider this as making friends. After all, your company assigned you this task, and you surely want to get back and complete it as soon as possible, right?”

“I wouldn’t dare to claim such a thing,” Simone Milton snorted coldly, remaining indifferent. “Now, let me leave this place. Otherwise, I’ll call the police!”

As she said this, she showed the screen where she had dialed the police number.

So that everyone can see clearly, she isn’t joking.

Sure enough, when she displayed such an interface, everyone present began to breathe more rapidly.

“Fine, you can go if you want! Just drink this glass of wine, and then I’ll let you go,” said the fat man. He picked up a glass of wine and placed it in front of Simone Milton, his eyes filled with malice.

“If you refuse to drink this drink, then you’re showing me no respect. I have no control over what might happen next!” The fat man continued to threaten, still smiling.

It was obvious that something had been drugged in this drink. Simone Milton had only two choices: either drink the wine or stay in this place surrounded by wolves.

If one drinks alcohol, there’s still a slim chance of survival.

But if things escalated to a point where these people were completely enraged, Simone Milton wasn’t sure she’d be able to escape from that place unharmed.

“How am I supposed to know if you’re lying to me?” Simone Milton narrowed her eyes, glancing sideways at the female artist who was blocking the doorway.

Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately gave the female artist a look. Understanding the hint, the woman reluctantly moved away.

“Can this prove my sincerity?” The fat man turned his head and asked Simone Milton.

Simone Milton nodded, took a deep breath, then accepted the glass of wine.

“Drink it all! You must drink every last drop of this wine, or else don’t even think about leaving!” The fat man said, smiling at Simone Milton.

“Alright, if I’m going to drink it, then I’ll drink it!” After saying that, Simone Milton took a deep breath. It took her some time to gather her courage before she finally downed the drink in one gulp.

“I’ve finished my drink. I won’t keep you company anymore!” said Simone Milton. Before anyone could react, she rushed outside.

Several female artists tried to chase after them, but were stopped by the fat man.

“After drinking my wine, it’s completely impossible to get out of here unscathed! Guys, I’ll go chase after that little wild cat now. Have fun!” With that, the fat man patted his belly, laughed heartily, and walked out.

He’s already made his move on this floor. Simone Milton can’t go downstairs. She can only play hide-and-seek with him on this floor. But how long can she keep hiding?

By the time the medication takes full effect, even if Simone Milton wants to hide, her body probably won’t be able to withstand it.

“Little guy, where are you? I’m coming to get you!” said the fat man, licking his lips in a lewd manner, ready to find Simone Milton.

Meanwhile, Simone Milton, who had run out into the hallway, heard the fat man’s slow, deliberate footsteps and his greasy voice. It was so disgusting that she felt like vomiting.

Instinctively, she wanted to run away. But unfortunately, her body was hot, and her mind was confused. It would be extremely dangerous to go outside recklessly.

Simona Milton, barely able to stay conscious due to the pain caused by squeezing the flesh on the sides of her thighs, could only endure the pain and hide in a corner, waiting for the demon to leave.

“Where are you? I can see you now!” The fat man’s voice grew louder, along with the sound of his footsteps. This immediately made Simone Milton, who was hiding, feel nervous.

Fortunately, as if drawn by some force, the fat man’s voice suddenly faded away. Only then did Simone Milton get a chance to catch her breath. She rolled and crawled her way into the bathroom.

However, she had no idea that it was actually just the fat guy’s scheme.

His only goal was to get Simone Milton to go somewhere he wanted her to be.

“Ah ha, let’s see where that little guy is exactly.” The fat man’s voice grew louder and louder. Simone Milton, hiding in the cubicle, heard everything clearly.

She instinctively covered her mouth and nose, curling up on the toilet seat. Helplessness and fear filled her heart.

Not once before had she desired so desperately for someone to save her as she does now.

Ayane... where are you? Please come and save me!

“Knock, knock”—the door to Simone Milton’s cubicle was suddenly knocked on. The fat man’s face appeared in the doorway, his expression becoming even more excited.

With her face turned to the side, she squatted by the door and peeked through the gap at Simone Milton’s fat husband, saying with a smile, “What a pity! I thought I’d get to see the little guy using the bathroom!”

Pervert! He’s a complete pervert! Such thoughts filled Simone Milton’s mind.

At this moment, she regretted it deeply. Why couldn’t she think things through before risking her own safety like that?

She simply has no way of dealing with such people.

Worst of all, even though she locked the door to the cubicle, that pervert still managed to get in somehow from the side.

In fact, the disappearance of that disgusting face of the fat man, along with the constant rustling noises coming from the next cubicle, confirmed Simone Milton’s suspicions were correct.

This fat guy, indeed, as Simone Milton guessed, was about to climb into this compartment.

Fear and panic completely overwhelmed Simone Milton. What was even more deadly was that, at this point, the effects of the medication in her body had fully taken hold.

No, I can’t give in like this!

Simone Milton thought this as she struggled to keep herself upright, constantly trying to unlock the door.

But since she didn’t have much strength at the moment, and everything around her was blurry, it took her a long time to finally open the door.

At that moment, Simone Milton, who had rushed out of the cubicle, heard the sound of something heavy falling behind her.

This made her feel extremely relieved that she had managed to get out.

If she hadn’t opened the door in time, who knows, that fat guy might have already jumped into the compartment where she was.

By then, she would be completely ruined.

This sense of relief didn’t last long. Simone Milton heard footsteps behind her once again.
