100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Seventy-Nine…

~~*****~~

Three days after Jane poisoned Veronica, Veronica started to hallucinate, seeing herself being tortured by Phantomflake. The mental stress was too much for her to bear.

According to Jane's threat, she would die in seven days. She only had four days left.

"I can't endure this. I have to ask Phantomflake for an antidote. I'll cooperate with her." Veronica was sitting in the corner, covering her face using both hands. She felt weak. Her appearance was untidy and she looked haggard. Dark circles could be seen under her eyes.

As she made up her mind, Veronica stood up and called the attention of the prison guard.

"Please! Inform Dave and Nathan! I'm going to cooperate with them. I'll confess." Veronica begged in her desperate tone. The guard nodded when he heard that. He immediately informed Dave. Just a few minutes later, Dave arrived, escorting Veronica to the interrogation room.

The two of them sat down, facing each other as they were separated by a rectangular table.

"Give me your statement," Dave coldly said, pressing the recorder and opening his laptop.

"It's Helena Carlsen. She's the one who asked me to create a deadly weapon. The person I was talking to was none other than Helena Carlsen. She also has another identity. She is Monica, my sister. She is just pretending to be Helena Carlsen. She's an impostor." Veronica spoke spontaneously as she confessed what she knew about Monica and her evil plan. To save her own life, Veronica was willing to be a witness and bring Monica down. "I will be your witness. You must catch that woman. She is the mastermind for Abigail's assassination. She will poison her. I guess… at this moment, she has already received the package."

Dave's expression turned grim when he heard that. Someone was targeting her woman. He must protect her.

"Thank you for confessing. I hope you will never take back your statement. I will submit this to the prosecutor and ask them to issue a warrant of arrest for Helena Carlsen. We will also investigate her identity to see if she is indeed fake." Dave felt glad because Veronica cooperated with them. "Before that… I have a request from you. Can you deliver a message? Please inform Jane of what I did today. I need something from her ASAP. This is a matter of life and death. I bet you don't want your witness to die even before the trial happens." Veronica was desperate. She needed to get the antidote. She didn't want to suffer any longer and she had to survive.

"I will inform her," Dave reassured her. He never mentioned to Veronica that Jane went to Country J together with her father.

Veronica heaved a sigh of relief. After giving her sworn statement to Dave, Veronica was escorted back to her cell. Meanwhile, Dave immediately took action. He couldn't let the woman targeting Abigail be free. He must capture her as quickly as possible.

[ At Hideout… ]

Monica was in a bad mood because of her last argument with Vincent. "Vincent and I argued because of this useless old man! I'm going to beat him to vent out my frustrations."

"You worthless old man! You abandoned your son, yet he is still trying to protect you!" She yelled at Old Man Xu who was still tied down on the chair. She ruthlessly attacked Old Man Xu, slapping his face twice.

Old Man Xu just remained quiet, glaring at the mad woman. He injured the pain as Monica continued assaulting him. She threw several punches and slaps, hitting him in different parts of his body. She also kicked his feet and legs.

After several minutes, Old Man Xu started to cough some blood, his face swollen from her slaps and punches.

'She is crazy!' He thought to himself.

It did not take long before her sinister laughter echoed in the hideout. "Whoah! I feel refreshed now. Thank you, old man!"

Monica clenched his jaw using her fingers. She pulled his hair, tugging it down so that he would meet her gaze. "Why don't you beg me, Chairman Xu? Lower your pride. Beg me to release you. Who knows… I might change my mind."

Monica wanted to make fun of him. She was bored doing nothing. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

"Where is the mighty Chairman Xu? Why can't you say a thing? Cat got your tongue? Hahaha!" Monica slapped him once again after releasing his jaw.

Old Man Xu refused to plead with the woman. Instead, he cast her a frigid, piercing stare accompanied by a burst of mocking laughter. "I have no idea what my son sees in you. But, mark my words, sooner or later, he'll come to realize that you're nothing but a psycho. He will leave you."

"Shut up! Vincent will never abandon me. We will stick together in the end. When everyone abandoned him, I was the only one who stayed by his side. No one will be able to break our special bond." Monica spat back at Old Man Xu. She slapped him again.

Pak!

Old Man Xu's lips started to bleed.

"Hahaha. Why do I feel like you are scared about something? You are not confident, are you?" He continued to provoke her. He didn't care about the physical pain inflicted on him by Monica. He would be satisfied to see her annoyed and mad.

"Go on. Just laugh. I don't know if you can still laugh once I capture your favorite grandson. Don't test my temper, old man. Who knows I might lose control and kill your grandson first." Monica threatened him.

"Don't you dare touch my grandson!!! I will hunt you down even in hell!" Old Man Xu was enraged. He hated her so much. She was heartless. How could she involve an innocent child?

"Hahaha! Now, you are the one who is scared. Why don't you beg for mercy? I might consider sparing your grandson." Monica signaled to her subordinates. "Come over here. Release him. He can't kneel if his hands and feet are bound."

Her underlings immediately approached them, releasing Old Man Xu.

"Now. kneel and beg me to spare your grandson. Lick my shoes as well." Monica sneered at him, satisfied.

Old Man Xu clenched his fists. He didn't care if Monica would kill him. However, she was now threatening him using Ethan. If Monica was capable of abducting him, then she could also hurt his grandson. That was something he didn't want to happen.

'I will lower my pride just to ensure your safety, my dearest grandson.' Old Man Xu thought to himself.

Without a second thought, he dropped to his knees as he begged her. "Please… don't touch my grandson. He is just an innocent child." After saying that, Old Man Xu kissed Monica's shoes.

Monica and his men erupted into peals of laughter. "Hahaha! You fool! A gullible old man!"

Monica kicked his face as she laughed sardonically. "Do you really think I will spare him? I thought you believed I was a psycho? A psycho spares no one… even a child!"

"Go to hell! Bitch! Go to hell! I'll kill you!" Old Man Xu was about to attack her but Monica's men were quick enough to capture him, pinning him on the ground.
