Chapter 331

Isalwayschill, never messed with anyone. So, like, who the heck would snatch her up for no reason? The Percy fam was always…

This game is so rigged! I call BS, Elizabeth yelled.

“Shut it,” Elijah sneered, “You ain’t got the right to complain.”

Elizabeth was left speechless. She stared at the ground, trying to figure out who’d be low enough to target her. ‘Alexander? Nah, he’s a jerk but not that low. Maybe Esme? But she got turned down, so she shouldn’t have time to mess with me, right?’

Elizabeth was stumped. She glanced at Elijah, who was munching away. Elijah caught her looking and asked, “Want some grub?”

Elizabeth shot back, “Let me go. Whatever they’re paying you, I’ll give you ten times that.”

Elijah shrugged, “We shadow folks don’t do it for the cash. Don’t try to bribe me; I got my own code.”

Elizabeth pouted, “You’re already doing this, so what code? Just let me go and join me!”

Elijah laughed, “Rolling with you means starving all the time.”

“I’m the heiress of the Percy family. You think I’d let you starve? That’s just rude!” she snapped.

Elijah chuckled, “Glad you know I’m dissing you. Look at you, kidnapped and still trying to recruit me. With a boss like you, I’d be babysitting you all day!”

Getting annoyed, Elijah told Isaac to gag her.

Elizabeth thought, Is he gagging me ‘cause he can’t win an argument? Yeah, he definitely doesn’t think I’m noisy.

But then Elijah cursed, “Noisy!”

Elizabeth mused inwardly, Seriously? Kidnapping me without asking for cash, what’s his deal? Is he really gonna hang me till tomorrow morning? Won’t I suffocate?

She sighed. Elijah kept eating and singing nearby. Elizabeth looked at the scenery, feeling oddly calm.

Elijah sighed, “What’s the point of being rich? You piss people off so easily.”

Elizabeth glanced at him. Elijah went on, “Us regular folks don’t get kidnapped.” But they did struggle with money. He stood up and stretched. Walking over to her, he looked out into the distance. “I wonder if by tomorrow, you’ll be home or in pieces. Honestly,” he said, patting her shoulder, “Look how skinny you are.”

Chapter 331

Elizabeth was speechless. “Honestly,” Elijah circled back, “I think it’s unlikely.”

Elizabeth rolled her eyes; he might as well have said nothing.

“Got any unfulfilled dreams? I’ll help you out,” Elijah suddenly sat next to her, all enthusiastic.

Elizabeth shook her head; she didn’t have any.

“I saw on the news you divorced your rich hubby, right?” Elijah asked out of nowhere.

Elizabeth thought, This guy loves his gossip. She didn’t respond but looked at him eagerly.

Elijah laughed, “Why don’t we tell him you’ve been kidnapped and see what he does?”
