Chapter 214
“Bring him out.” The leader of the kidnappers waved.
Soon after, the goons dragged a hogtied Benedict out and dumped him on the floor. The first thing Bonnie saw was the slap mark on his face. “I’ll fork over the ransom, but I demand to know who beat my brother up!”
“You’re too cocky, bitch! Mind your tone. We’re the kidnappers here!”
“Oh? You’re the kidnappers? Not from where I’m standing.” She glared at the dozen or so goons.
The leader’s eyes widened with a hint of surprise. Before he could say anything, Bonnie continued, You’re surprised at how I saw through your cover.”
The leader was shocked.
Bonnie added, “That’s what I thought.”
The leader could only stare at her, not bothering to hide his sheer surprise now.
“How did she know?‘
Clap, clap, clap!
A series of claps sounded as Flynn appeared with a team of bodyguards.
“So, you’re behind it.” Realization struck her. “Are you doing this because of what happened last night?”
Π
“Far from it. You put yourself on my ugly side when you humiliated me at the party.” Flynn stared at her the way a predator would its prey. The way he saw it, she was as good as his plaything now.
“Forget about me, sis! Just leave!” Benedict might not have known who Flynn was, but he figured the man must be a fearsome character from the group of bodyguards around him.
Since Bonnie was alone, she might end up in a more dangerous situation than her brother if she stayed longer. Even so, Bonnie looked at Benedict comfortingly and said, “Don’t worry, Benny. No one will lay a finger on you now that I’m here.”
“You’re bold, Bonnie. My men have surrounded this place and shut the gates. They’ve also confirmed that you’ve come alone. How do you plan on escaping in one piece with your brother?”
Bonnie gazed across the abandoned factory and said, “I’ll admit you brought a big group with you but that doesn’t mean they can defeat me.”
I guess you’re right. I’ve underestimated you and suffered terribly from it. It’s worse this time. Ivor wants to kick me out of Pyralis for a decade. You humiliated me in front of all my friends. Do you think I’ll let you escape? No, I came fully prepared this time, Bonnie.”
At the wave of his hand, his bodyguards pulled out pistols. Some pointed it at her head while the

others aimed it at her heart.
Realizing she still looked calm, he took a couple of steps forward.
“I think I still underestimate you. You’re excellent at pretending. Given your sorry situation, I can’t believe you’re still as calm as the still ocean. You’re masking your fears expertly.”
Raising her brows, she said, “Oh. You don’t know the half of it. You’ve underestimated me big time.”
“Do you think Ivor will show up and save you? I’m not a fool, Bonnie. I wouldn’t have done this today if I wasn’t fully prepared. It just so happens that he has an important meeting to attend today.
“It’s such a large–scale business meeting that no one can interrupt Ivor and feed him the news. He can’t rescue the damsel in distress this time.
“Also, it’s your rotten luck that the kidnapping happened today. These guys chose to snatch your brother, and it has nothing to do with me at all. Ivor can’t trace it back to me, even if he wanted to exact revenge later.
“On the off chance that he suspects me, I still would’ve been fine. After all, I’m his cousin. What do you think he can do without concrete evidence against me?”
