Chapter 177
Linda collapsed to the ground with a thunderous crash.
It felt like the whole elevator shook. The wolf had slammed right into the elevator doors. Linda trembled all over. Just moments ago, the wolf was outside the door, its maw wide open, revealing long, sharp teeth. If she'd been a second later, that monstrous beast would have snapped her neck.
How could this be happening? Linda had never imagined she'd face something like this in her life. The howling outside the elevator was relentless, one howl after another, like it could tear everything apart.
Linda was stunned for a few seconds before snapping to her senses. Call the police! She could call the police. Luckily, her phone was in her pocket. Linda dialed 911 but found that all signals were jammed. 'Chloe. You're ruthless. What do I do now?' She thought to herself.
Her gaze fixed on the last message she had sent from her phone. It was to Lucas. Lucas would come; he had to. Linda knew today was bound to end in a showdown after receiving Chloe's sudden invitation. So earlier, she had messaged Lucas. She had hoped Lucas would come and witnessChloe's harshness toward her while she humbly admitted her faults. But before Lucas could arrive, this happened. She was even more terrified that she wouldn't hold out until Lucas came.
The roaring outside caused her heart to tremble with each sound. At that moment, however, the elevator's display suddenly lit up. Chloe's face appeared on it. From the background, it seemed Chloe had returned to the control room, still leisurely sitting in that chair. Linda screamed at her in a frenzy. "Chloe, have you lost your mind?"
Chloe smiled, casually flipping her wavy hair. Her smile was dazzling, captivating. But the coldness in her eyes couldn't be hidden. "Linda, you're not the only one capable of being ruthless. Everything you're suffering today is what you deserve."
Linda couldn't believe Chloe could be this insane. Was this the bright and sunny Chloe she knew? Chloe seemed more like a demon from hell. Linda quickly begged for mercy, "Chloe, please, I'm sorry. I have a child in my womb. I'm scared. Don't play this kind of joke on me, please." Linda still harbored a sliver of hope.
Chloe let out a cold laugh. "Linda, you chose to face the consequences instead of heeding the warning." She stared at the screen, her tone calm but oppressive. "Tell me, who was it? You must know who violated me."
Linda knelt on the ground, sobbing. "I don't know. I really don't know." "Linda, I can open the elevator doors at any time."
Linda abruptly looked up. Right, the house was fully automated. Chloe could control it remotely. Linda heard the scratching of wolf claws against the elevator doors. Now, there was more than one wolf outside. Linda's heart was hanging
by a thread. She retreated in terror to the corner of the elevator.
'Lucas, why aren't you here yet?' Linda silently pleaded.
Chloe's calm voice once again came from the display. "I'll count to ten, and if you still don't want to talk, then... well, good luck."
"Ten!" Linda's heart raced, feeling like it was about to burst from her chest, her entire demeanor one of utter terror.
"Nine!" Linda snapped to her senses,
her brain working overtime as she began to beg for mercy from the display, yet she continued to deny everything.
"Eight!"
"Seven!" As her pleas for mercy were ignored by Chloe, Linda's demeanor changed instantly, and she began to curse.
