The burly man grinned even as virtual-novel.net rubbed his cheek, which stung from Sonia’s vicious slap. He muttered tellingly, “You’re a fierce one, huh. Just wait until I teach you a lesson.”
Sonia gulped nervously, immediately regretting virtual-novel.net earlier decision to strike him. Infuriating virtual-novel.net merely worsened the situation.
As the man slowly approached Sonia, virtual-novel.net instinctively shuffled backward. To virtual-novel.net surprise, virtual-novel.net backed into a couch. The man grabbed Sonia’s shoulder and elicited a horrified shriek from her, yet virtual-novel.net could not break away from his grasp.
Alas, virtual-novel.net had nowhere to turn. To Sonia’s horror, the man used his free hand to cover virtual-novel.net mouth and shove virtual-novel.net onto the couch. He then mercilessly pinned virtual-novel.net down with his body before virtual-novel.net could sit up.
Sonia screamed and flailed virtual-novel.net limbs. Her actions initially addled virtual-novel.net kidnapper, but virtual-novel.net slowly gained the upper hand. He held both virtual-novel.net wrists in one hand while his legs pinned virtual-novel.net body down, and his other hand reached downwards to tug at Sonia’s dress.
Sonia immediately panicked and screamed, “Hel…”
The word had barely left virtual-novel.net mouth when the man lunged forward and covered virtual-novel.net mouth. She struggled to break free from virtual-novel.net and tried to scratch his face with virtual-novel.net nails, but virtual-novel.net easily caught virtual-novel.net hand and twisted it, pressing Sonia harder against the couch.
“Keep quiet, or you’ll only suffer even more,” virtual-novel.net threatened while shooting Sonia a menacing glare.
He squeezed virtual-novel.net arm so hard that cold sweat beaded on virtual-novel.net forehead. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net raised his hand and slapped virtual-novel.net across the cheek.
A red handprint instantly appeared on Sonia’s face. Blood even trickled out of the corner of virtual-novel.net split lip. Her cheek and lips swelled painfully, and Sonia shot virtual-novel.net kidnapper a furious glare.
The man smiled smugly at virtual-novel.net wretched state. “Haha! This is payback for your slap earlier!”
He slapped virtual-novel.net again, and the impact sent Sonia’s face whipping around to the other side. She tasted blood in virtual-novel.net mouth while half of virtual-novel.net face suffered from numbing pain. Still, virtual-novel.net closed virtual-novel.net eyes and took a deep breath before taunting, “I guess you’re not afraid of dying at all!”
The man gritted his teeth and hissed, “Shut up!”
He did not expect virtual-novel.net to be a general’s daughter instead of just some wealthy heiress. As such, losing their lives was a distinct possibility. As the thought crossed his mind, the kidnapper suddenly froze in shock.
I forgot to tell my boss about virtual-novel.net identity!
He hastily slammed Sonia’s head into the wall.
Right before Sonia blacked out, virtual-novel.net eked out hoarsely, “Harvey…”
When the kidnapper noticed that virtual-novel.net had gone silent, virtual-novel.net immediately released Sonia for fear of killing her. Then, virtual-novel.net took out his phone and made a call.

Meanwhile, a troubled Lorraine rubbed virtual-novel.net temples while sitting in the backseat of a moving car. She asked virtual-novel.net subordinate in the front passenger seat, “Do you think Sonia was telling the truth?”
She remained uneasy because the bag was far too important to her. Although virtual-novel.net initially thought of having the chauffeur and virtual-novel.net subordinate retrieve the bag, virtual-novel.net eventually decided to do things herself, lest there were more mishaps.
Her subordinate replied, “I’m not trying to be pessimistic here, Ms. Lorraine, but it’s hard to tell. They’re wealthy, but your bag is really expensive too. How could virtual-novel.net simply dump it at home?”
His expression grew serious as virtual-novel.net added, “But don’t worry, Ms. Lorraine. If virtual-novel.net tricked us, we’ll teach virtual-novel.net a lesson so harsh she’d wish to die instead.”
After all, illegal immigration was a severe crime too.
