Chapter 341

Evelyn had barely managed to drag the three men together when beads of sweat dotted her forehead.

Moving three heavily built men was no easy feat for someone as petite as her.

It took every ounce of her strength.

Once she had secured them, Evelyn descended the creaky wooden stairs to survey the isolated countryside house.

In this remote area, screams would go unheard—no one would come to their rescue.

The fridge was stocked with enough bread and milk to last several days.

She then checked on Adrienne, who lay peacefully asleep in another room, blissfully unaware of the danger she had been in.

That was a relief.

Adrienne staying unconscious was far better than her waking up in a panic and complicating things.

Evelyn gently tucked a blanket around her before heading back upstairs.

With a flick of the main switch, the house flooded with light.

The two conscious men winced, squinting against the sudden brightness.

"Open your eyes!"

A sharp kick landed on Viktor's chest.

Evelyn pulled up a stool and sat before them, tearing off a piece of bread as she scolded, "Did I say you could close them?"

Dmitri remained silent, his mouth hanging open uselessly.

"Lady, it's a reflex! The light's too bright—we can't help it!"

"Who the hell are you?" Viktor demanded, glaring at her.

Evelyn smirked. "You kidnapped me without even knowing who I am?"

Viktor studied the girl in front of him—delicate features, an innocent face, the unmistakable beauty of Veridia.

This should have been an easy job.

Kidnap her, wait for further instructions, collect the money.

No ransom, no killing.

Just another routine mission.

Their employer had warned them, but they hadn't taken it seriously.

Now, they were paying for their arrogance.

Evelyn tilted her head. "So, who sent you?"

Viktor clamped his mouth shut.

She had expected that.

As the leader, he wouldn't break easily.

Her gaze shifted to Dmitri, who was still struggling to speak.

"He won't talk. How about you?"

Dmitri's lips moved, but no sound came out.

Evelyn chuckled. "Oh right, I forgot—you can't speak."

She stood and walked toward him.

His eyes widened in fear as she raised her hand.

A quick jab, and his voice returned.

"What are you doing?" he croaked.
