18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 280

Facing his dim-witted cousin, Bentley remained impassive. "Dozens of boxes of Scotch, a collection of antiques, a million-dollar set of golf clubs, diving gear, wristwatches, cash, pistols and bullets, a five-million-dollar Samurai sword, as well as a batch of high-grade food." "Pistols and bullets?" Bran was astonished. "You're quite the rascal."

Bentley glanced at him, "You're one to talk."

Ramming other cars, starting brawls, and tax issues, if it weren't for the apocalypse, these wouldn't be issues you could solve with a stint in the slammer.

"What you lost doesn't even amount to the cost of my car." Bran was meant to find this amusing, but instead, he felt more despondent. "How the hell did you keep all this stuff at your office?"

"I had kept Lindsay trapped in the villa. She was extremely unruly, not just smashing everything in sight, but she even stabbed me a few times. She would go crazy every time she saw me."

So, for a long period of time, he lived in his office, only returning to the villa when he really wanted to see her.

Trapped? Bran was taken aback, "With your status and position, you could have any woman you want. Just a snap of your fingers and there'd be a line of women ready to orbit the earth three times. Is it necessary to resort to such measures?"

"You wouldn't understand her worth." Bentley's intense gaze revealed sadness. "I broke her legs, chained her up, all in the hopes of winning her heart. There are plenty of women in this world, but I only want her."

This wasn't his cousin, this was a criminal. Bran's worldview was challenged, "What happened next?"

"She was disobedient, so I starved her for half a month as punishment. All she had to do was apologize, but she'd rather drink toilet water and chew on tissues, than bow to me. Then the hurricane came, she stabbed me and jumped from the second floor." "Did she die?"

"No." Bentley was engulfed in painful memories, "She starved for half a month, was skin and bones, had a broken leg, and was carried away by the hurricane."

He had searched frantically for a long time but didn't even find a trace of her.

In the backseat, Stella with her excellent hearing, felt silent.

Wasn't this just Bentley and Bran, two law-breaking individuals, casually discussing their crimes as if she wasn't there?
