Chapter 113: Elyse couldn't discern how long she had been unconscious. When she finally cto, she found herself confined in a dark room, likely a basement given the absence of natural light. Suppressing her rising panic and feeling of helplessness, Elyse moved her limbs to alleviate the stiffness, thankfully finding herself unrestrained. She kicked around, hoping to contact something useful, but her efforts were futile; she was alone.
Updates always at galnovesHer mind raced as she pondered Joanna's motives for kidnapping her. All she hoped for now was that Joanna would provide at least sfood and water. Her throat felt parched in the pitch-black environment, and Elyse lost all track of time. She eventually drifted off to sleep but was abruptly awakened by approaching footsteps. Joanna entered, carrying a glass of sugar water. Upon seeing Elyse looking listless on the floor, she snorted disdainfully and kicked her. “Still alive?” Joanna asked coldly.

Joanna scrutinized Elyse's weakened face and sneered, "A mere 24 hours without food and you've becthis feeble. Gee." After a brief pause, she mocked, "Should I be preparing a coffin for you two days later?" Elyse, who had fasted to fit into her dress for the charity banquet, had barely eaten a small piece of cake that evening. She had no desire to engage in verbal sparring with Joanna; preserving her strength was her main concern.
Bored by Elyse's silence, Joanna forcefully pulled her up and held the sugar water to her lips. Revitalized by the liquid, Elyse drank it eagerly, like a parched fish revived in water, not missing a single drop. Seeing Elyse's desperate state, Joanna taunted further, “I have a secret to share. I'll be Jayden's woman tonight. We'll have shared the sman. Aren't you thrilled?" Elyse stiffened but remained silent, her gaze frosty as Joanna grabbed her chin forcefully. "This is your fault. If you had complied willingly, I wouldn't have had to return to the Fosters. Now, you'll experience their cruel methods firsthand,” Joanna accused.
Elyse shot her a glare. "Your family members are depraved. How is their behavior my concern? Two women for one man? It's laughable that your family condones such things," she retorted.
Joanna laughed heartily, her laughter turning to tears. "That's why I say you're lucky. You weren't born a Foster. You're the luckiest of all,” she said, her voice tinged with bitterness.
However, beneath her facade of laughter, Joanna was seething with anger. Born into the Foster family, she loathed her destiny and, in a fit of fury, repeatedly slapped Elyse across the face. As Elyse collapsed to the floor, Joanna felt a rush of satisfaction, believing she had released her pent-up anger.

Gritting her teeth from the pain burning across her cheeks, Elyse responded bitterly, “Joanna Foster, I'll remember what happened today." "So what? You're imprisoned. No one will know even if I kill you," Joanna retorted coldly, her demeanor icy and calculated.
She then stood up, straightened her clothes, and subdued her lethal impulses. With a smirk, she said, "I'm off to see Jayden now. He's a cripple. How does he manage? Should I take the lead and sit on his lap?" She taunted Elyse deliberately. "Aren't you his wife? Tell me, how did you manage? I'll learn from you and ensure he's satisfied." Elyse, clenching her jaw, snapped back, "Jayden won't accept you."
"Think it's up to you? I have countless ways to make him acceptif the refuses Joanna boasted, her focus solely on her own agenda.
All she needed was for Jayden to marry her, and she would gain her freedom-a freedom she desired so deeply that she believed nothing could stand in her way. Elyse suspected that Joanna would resort to drugging Jayden, given her previous statements. "You desperate bitch. Jayden will never accept you! Never!" Elyse shouted, her voice filled with conviction.
Joanna merely laughed at her words. She harbored no affection for the disabled man nor desired his acceptance. Her only goal was to complete her mission. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
