“Enough with the nonsense! Tape him up and put him in the sack, Valerie ordered.
Ruth <b>nced </b>at the shovel in her hand and reluctantly <b>did </b><b>as </b>Valerie said.
By the time she finished, everything had turned upside down. Now it was Ethan ned up instead of Valerie, and Ruth was <b>in </b><b>a </b>dreadful situation herself. Trembling with fear, she stuttered, “Valerie, what… <b>what </b>are you nning!“
“What am I nning?” Valerie smiled. “That’s a good question. Id like to know what you two were nning to do to me.”
Ruth answered sheepishly. “We just wanted to take you away. And honestly, it was all his <b>idea</b><b>, </b>I… I didn’t have much of a choice “To put it nicely. they were in cahoots.
Valerie wiped the blood off her face, sneering coldly. “I heard the phone call. He wants to sell me out. I’m just returning the favor. If you <b>don’t </b>want me to kill you, you better listen up. Otherwise, don’t me me for being harsh.”
“Do you know what to say if the human traffickers show upter? Valerie asked.
