Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 789

There was another man who came back with Allen.

Elaine didn't know who he was.

At first glance, the bad man didn't seem like a nice person either.

"Allen, is this your little fiancee from your hometown?" asked the bald man while eyeing her flirtatiously.

Allen swept a glance at him. "Why? What do you want to do? Don't get any ideas about her, do you hear me?!"

"Haha. Okay. Alright." The bald man giggled.

Turning on the small lamp, Allen smiled at Elaine who was sitting on the bed and walked towards her. "How are you? Are you hungry? See, your brother and I care about you. We bought something for you to eat in case you get hungry."

After saying that, Allen placed the things in his hands on the small table, and then squatted down in front of her. "I'll release you, but don't you run or scream. Can you do that?" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Elaine nodded.

"I like submissive women," commented Allen while giving her an admiring look.

With that, he first tore the tape on her face and took out a knife from his pocket to cut the rope on her wrist and feet.

"Here, eat some," Paul said while closing the door.

Elaine was indeed hungry, so she grabbed the lunchbox on the table without hesitation and started to eat quietly.

She must eat to gain energy in order to escape from here.

Her silence surprised Allen. "Don't you have anything to say to us?"

Glancing at him indifferently, she uttered, "I have nothing to say to you, but I need to talk to Paul. Can you leave us alone, please?"

"What do you want to say to him?" Allen snorted. "Do you want him to let you go? Haha! He won't listen to you, so you might as well give up on that idea."

"Stop making up your little drama. I just want to talk to him in private, that's all."

Allen gave a sinister smile. "Alright. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you room to talk."

With that, he got up and asked the bald man to go out to smoke with him.

At this moment, only Elaine and Paul were left in

the room.

Sitting down beside the bed, Paul asked, "How are you? Do you want some more..."

Slap!

A heavy slap landed on his face before he could finish.

Stunned at first with his swollen face, Paul wanted to slap her back when Elaine glared at him coldly. "Instead of paying attention on your study, you get involved with those punks?! What's wrong with you!"

Paul growled angrily, "It's none of your business!"

"It's none of my business? I paid for your tuition fee! And now you're telling me it's none of my business?!" Elaine sneered, "Okay, I won't mind your business with one condition. Pay me back the money I spent on you all these years and I'll stop minding your business!"

Paul scoffed, "Money! Money! All you can think of is money! Fine, I'll pay you!"

With that, he took out a stack of money from his pocket and threw them at Elaine. "Here!"

Looking at the money, Elaine smirked again. "Do you think this is enough? It's only a few thousand! I spent at least tens of thousands on you. Where is the rest of the money?"

Paul opened his mouth to say something but Elaine interjected, "Besides, is these your money? You stole this! I don't want these stolen money. I want you to pay with clean money!"

Facing her unanticipated stubbornness, Paul shouted, "These are clean! I've worked so hard to get them!"

With a disdainful and contemptuous grin, Elaine rebuked, "Don't you feel ashamed about your action? I always think you are smart and kind, but I never expect that you would be a thief! What do you think the school will do to you if they found out that you're a thief?!"

If the school administration knew that he was stealing, they would have expelled him!

Of course, Paul was aware of it. "I wasn't arrested, so the school would never find out about it!"

"You are too naive. Do you think the police can't catch you if you run away?" Elaine sat upright and stared straight at Paul's eyes. "Dr. Perkins' family is reputable in Beachmarsh City. His grandfather is a high-ranking official in the government and they have vast connections. All Dr. Perkins has to do

is to inform his family about the theft and the entire police force in the city will investigate the case for him!" "What?! No way!" Paul shrieked in fright.

So many thefts happened every day, and they didn't leave any evidence behind. How could they be caught?

Paul didn't believe her at all.

"If you had stolen an ordinary family, perhaps the police would not have mind about it, but you had broken into Dr. Perkins's home. I bet you stole some valuable items in his room, right? Among them was a diamond pendant which was an heirloom left by his late mother. It was the only thing that his mother left him. Do you think he would let you slip easily?"

With that, blood drained from Paul's face.

How would he have thought about this? All he knew was they would be fine as long as they grabbed whatever they found and escaped before anyone could apprehend them.

Sensing that he was afraid with uncertainty in his eyes, Elaine persuaded, "You're still young. It's never too late to repent yourself. You just need to call the police with your phone and you will not be held accountable for the theft. Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Paul was in a dilemma. "But if I call the police, what would happen to Allen?"

"He dragged you into this!"

Why would Paul still concern about him at this

moment?

Agitated, Elaine snapped, "He's just taking you as a scapegoat! Can't you see? He is sneaky and cunning. If you are arrested, trust me, the first thing he will do is to let you take all the blames! Wake up!"

Paul shook his head in disbelief. "No, he won't. He is so kind to me. He won't betray me."

"If he was really kind to you, how could he let you be a thief?"

"That's because I needed money, so he came up with this idea..."

Taking a deep breath, she decided not to indulge in this topic. "Paul, listen to me. If Dr. Perkins finds out that his house was broken into, he will definitely call the police, and they will definitely take this case seriously. Please go and surrender yourself. You're a student. I'm sure the police will handle you accordingly."

As Paul was in a dilemma, someone kicked the door open abruptly with a loud bang.

The bald man appeared at the doorway, laughing. "You want to betray us, don't you?"

"No, I didn't..." Paul stood up frantically.

Marching towards them, the bald head shouted, "Shut up! I heard everything! She asked you to call the police!"

"I didn't!" Paul blurted anxiously. "See? My phone is still in my pocket. I didn't take it out!"

"You don't want to call the police, but your sister do!"

Paul opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the bald man pushed him away and spat, "Wait outside. I'm going to teach her a lesson!"

Startled, Paul stammered, "W-What do you want to do?"

The door slammed shut right at his face.

Paul grabbed the doorknob but the door was locked.

Standing up from the bed, Elaine glared at the bald man who was approaching her. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Shut up, b*tch!" The bald head snorted. "I'm gonna teach you a lessont!"
