Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 686

Elaine looked back at the man in front of her and raised her chin. “You have to untie my hand, or how else should I eat?”

The man took out a knife after he heard what she said.

Elaine swallowed and closed her eyes tightly.

The next second, the rope on her wrists fell down.

Staring at her reddened wrists, she massaged them with her hands. Her nose itched.

The man said, “Miss James, you better not do anything naughty; otherwise you won’t even have food to eat in the future.”

Elaine said, “Aren’t you afraid...”

“You are just a hostage. As long as you are alive then it’s fine. You don't get to make demands. Be aware of that.”

After saying so, the man turned around and left. He locked the door again.

Elaine looked at the food in front of her, and sniffed. She took the chopsticks and started eating with big gulps.

While she was eating, her tears started running down and dropped on the rice.

She was wondering how Sherry and Caesar were doing.

Those people probably didn’t harm them, but Sherry lost a lot of blood...

When she thought of that, Elaine couldn’t bear it but started to cry out loud. The more she thought about it, the sadder she got and the more she blamed herself.

If it wasn’t her who was so naive, running away from Riverside City to come to City N, Sherry wouldn’t have gotten hurt trying to protect her.

And the baby in her tummy...

Nothing must happen to it.

After eating, Elaine tried to unlock the door, it wouldn’t open.

Then she went to the window. There were many men in black standing downstairs.

She wanted to run away, but that was impossible.

Elaine lost all hope, sat down on the bed and stared out of the window.

After a while, there was a woman who appeared downstairs.

Freya took down her shades and asked, “How is she?”

“She just asked for food. Now she is quiet.”

Freya raised her brows, “So cooperative?”

The man said, “Miss James is a spoiled girl. She hasn’t been in such a situation and she has never starved. Just offer her some food and give her a bit of fright, and she will be obedient.”

Freya sat down on the couch, “This girl is not very brave, be careful not to scare her too much.”

The man nodded.

Freya said again, “Have you contacted the people in Riverside City? What did they say?”

“Mr. James said that we shouldn’t rush. She is in our hands. Not only can we threaten Franklin, but we may use her against Darnell too.”

Freya lit a cigar, and said slowly, “Something so appalling happened in Riverside City, but Darnell still hadn't appeared so far.”

As she said so, Freya squinted her eyes and blew out the smoke. No one could tell what she was thinking about.

The man said, “Looking at the current situation, I guess Darnell won’t be getting back to Riverside City.”

Freya took a glance at him, she sneered but didn’t comment.

Darnell shan't be underestimated.

After a while, she said, “Tell the people in Riverside City to keep a closer eye. It is not until they find Clarence’s son and his mother that we can take the upper hand. Now we only have Elaine, the only people we can threaten now are Franklin and such, but that is far from what we wanted.”

The man nodded, “I will tell them now.”

After he left, Freya finished her cigar, got up and headed upstairs.

Elaine heard the steps, and immediately got up from the bed. Her eyes were fixed at the door, her whole body on alert.

Quickly, the door was opened.

The person standing at the door was a gorgeous.
