The burly man grinned even as snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com earlier decision to strike him. Infuriating snazzynovel.com merely worsened the situation.
As the man slowly approached Sonia, snazzynovel.com instinctively shuffled backward. To snazzynovel.com surprise, snazzynovel.com backed into a couch. The man grabbed Sonia’s shoulder and elicited a horrified shriek from her, yet snazzynovel.com could not break away from his grasp.
Alas, snazzynovel.com had nowhere to turn. To Sonia’s horror, the man used his free hand to cover snazzynovel.com mouth and shove snazzynovel.com onto the couch. He then mercilessly pinned snazzynovel.com down with his body before snazzynovel.com could sit up.
Sonia screamed and flailed snazzynovel.com limbs. Her actions initially addled snazzynovel.com kidnapper, but snazzynovel.com slowly gained the upper hand. He held both snazzynovel.com wrists in one hand while his legs pinned snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com mouth when the man lunged forward and covered snazzynovel.com mouth. She struggled to break free from snazzynovel.com and tried to scratch his face with snazzynovel.com nails, but snazzynovel.com easily caught snazzynovel.com hand and twisted it, pressing Sonia harder against the couch.
“Keep quiet, or you’ll only suffer even more,” snazzynovel.com threatened while shooting Sonia a menacing glare.
He squeezed snazzynovel.com arm so hard that cold sweat beaded on snazzynovel.com forehead. Suddenly, snazzynovel.com raised his hand and slapped snazzynovel.com across the cheek.
A red handprint instantly appeared on Sonia’s face. Blood even trickled out of the corner of snazzynovel.com split lip. Her cheek and lips swelled painfully, and Sonia shot snazzynovel.com kidnapper a furious glare.
The man smiled smugly at snazzynovel.com wretched state. “Haha! This is payback for your slap earlier!”
He slapped snazzynovel.com again, and the impact sent Sonia’s face whipping around to the other side. She tasted blood in snazzynovel.com mouth while half of snazzynovel.com face suffered from numbing pain. Still, snazzynovel.com closed snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com identity!
He hastily slammed Sonia’s head into the wall.
Right before Sonia blacked out, snazzynovel.com eked out hoarsely, “Harvey…”
When the kidnapper noticed that snazzynovel.com had gone silent, snazzynovel.com immediately released Sonia for fear of killing her. Then, snazzynovel.com took out his phone and made a call.

Meanwhile, a troubled Lorraine rubbed snazzynovel.com temples while sitting in the backseat of a moving car. She asked snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com initially thought of having the chauffeur and snazzynovel.com subordinate retrieve the bag, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com simply dump it at home?”
His expression grew serious as snazzynovel.com added, “But don’t worry, Ms. Lorraine. If snazzynovel.com tricked us, we’ll teach snazzynovel.com a lesson so harsh she’d wish to die instead.”
After all, illegal immigration was a severe crime too.
