Chapter 955


    What did he mean by taking her to somewhere quiet andfortable?


    “I’ve recently discovered this boutique hotel; the ambiance is just perfect, very honeymoon-esque. How


    about I take you there?” Bruce said as he untied the ropes that bound Thssa’s wrists to the chair,


    speaking as if he were discussing the weather.


    Thssa’s heart clenched in terror.

    Bruce wanted to take her to a hotel; after what he did to her mother, was she next?


    The moment her hands were free from the chair, Thssa struggled with all her might, trying to stand


    and flee. But her hands were tied behind her back, and another rope bound her wrists together tightly;


    she couldn’t muster the strength to rise.


    “Hold your horses. I’ll help you,” Bruce offered, reaching out to help her up.


    “Don’t you touch me, or I swear I’ll bite my tongue and end it all!” Thssa growled, her breathing


    ragged and her eyes zing with a ferocious, helpless fury.


    Bruce’s outstretched hand paused, inches away from Thssa, but he withdrew at her threat. “Fine,


    get up on your own. No yelling, the fat guy hasn’t gone far. Screaming will only invite more to the party,


    and no one’sing to save you. This ce is in the middle of nowhere; besides your captors, who’s


    gonna hear you scream?”


    He stood up, not helping her but warning against cries for help.


    Biting down hard on her back teeth, Thssa knew it was pointless to scream; if it had been otherwise,


    the brute from before wouldn’t have been so brazen.


    Better to conserve her energy than to waste it on futile shouts.


    With great effort, Thssa stood up, unsteady on her feet.


    Bruce nced at her sidelong, “Come on then. If you don’t want a rough time, I’d advise against any


    pointless struggling.”


    With that, Bruce led the way out the door.


    Thssa watched his retreating figure, quietly contemting that she was unfamiliar with theyout of


    this ce and unaware of the situation outside. It would be best for her to follow him for now and


    strategize her escape once they were outside. A hasty flight would only lead her into worse danger.


    Bruce headed toward a silver van parked outside.


    Thssa followed, scanning the surroundings. A few low buildings were scattered about, with tall pines


    and firs surrounding them, and more forest beyond.


    It truly was a deste backwoods.


    “Stop gawking and get in. Without a car, you’re not escaping this ce,” Bruce said, waiting by the


    vehicle, seeing right through Thssa’s thoughts and squashing her hope of escape.


    Thssa’s nerves tensed, and she quickly refocused, seeing Bruce leaning casually against the van


    door.


    She internally resisted the urge to draw near Bruce, but what choice did she have in his grasp?


    Suppressing her intense revulsion, Thssa reluctantly moved toward the van.


    “Get in, stop dawdling,” Bruce stepped back, making room for her to climb aboard.


    Left with no other option, Thssa got into the van. When she had stood up moments before, she


    realized her phone wasn’t on her, leaving her no means to call for help.


    “Thssa, really, you’re better off with me than with Lysander. I know how to treat someone right,”


    Bruce said with a smirk, as she obediently got into the van.
