Jacob’s POVE
Jacob still sat in front of the monitor like a statue, watching Selena kneel and bow expressionlessly to apologize.
His assistant returned after checking on the unconscious Sadie. “Mr. Gilmore, what should we do with the child?”
Jacob’s gaze remained fixed on the monitor, not even tuming his head. “Is she dead?”
“No. I just had the doctor take a look. She was just a bit frightened and had been kneeling for too long, so she sustained some minor injuries, but overall, she’s fine“}
“Really? Then ask a doctor to take care of her and don’t let her die easily.”
It would be a good thing for the mother and daughter if they died. He didn’t want them to go to hell together so early.
Living half–dead was the absolute torture.
Selena only lasted three days longer than Sadie before she also collapsed.
“Mr. Gilmore, Miss Jones has also collapsed.”
Jacob said coldly, “Understood. Handle it as before.”
Selena woke up again to find herself still lying in that airtight basement.
However, everything that had belonged to Jasmine had been removed.
Red lights blinked in every corner of the room. Those were surveillance cameras.
She tried to get up and destroy the omnipresent cameras, but discovered she was tightly bound to the bed.
No matter how hard she struggled, she could not break free from the heavy shackles on her body.
“I have been very obedient. Tell me, how is Sadie? Is she okay?”
“I beg you, tell me, how is Sadie?“)
“Sadie is my daughter. Please let me see her once and let me know how she is.
The more arrogant and imperious Selena had once been, the humbler and more pathetic she was now ! Silence filled the room. No one answered her questions.
Jacob sometimes still watched the surveillance; if he thought she was too noisy, he would have someone block her mouth. This time, Selena fell utterly silent. She could only lie on the bed daily, allowing Jacob to monitor here
Someone would come in at a fixed time to wake her up and give her medicine, food and water to ensure she could stay alive.
r every move. She couldn’t even commit suicide.8
Her injuries had just healed a little when she was dragged up again. She was blindfolded and taken to a car.!!
Black suited bodyguards led her into a private room. When the blindfold was removed, she saw Sadie sitting in the centre of the room. “Sadie, are you okay? That’s great
Selena wanted to step forward and hug Sadie, but the bodyguard behind her kicked her hard in the back!
Sadie was wearing a princess dress and a birthday crown on her head. When she heard her mother call, she turned her face dull.
Like a broken record, she droned mechanically, “Selena Jones, if you’re going to apologize, at least make it convincing. Don’t you think?” Selena stared blankly at her daughter
She looked around the private room and noticed stacks of high-proof white liquor piled up to half a person’s height.”
The memory of Josephine picking up a bottle of liquor to apologize to her flashed through her mind. She instantly understood Jacob’s Intention!
She glanced at Jacob, sitting in the VIP booth. The man looked aloof and untouchable, exuding icy elegance. “I’m sorry. Please, don’t take it out on my daughter:“2
Then she walked over cracked open a liquor bottle and downed it in one go.
The sharp alcohol bumed its way down, her stomach twisting in pain
But under Jacob’s gaze, che didn’t dare to stop and could only keep drinking.!!
By the end, her stomach ached terribly, her consciousness blurred and she fell backward.
Seeing her fall, Jacob immediately called for a doctor to sober her up.X
This kind of torment lasted for a full hall–month
