Chapter 263: The Scary Offer!

"Who is your stupid boss?" Angela asked as she got up from the floor. Her legs ached, and her body begged for a stretch. Every joint hurt from the way they had treated her here.

There was no reply to her question. She looked at the guard, wondering if he had gone back to his silent mode again.

"I asked who is your fucking boss?" she shouted, her voice echoing through the walls.

"The Patriarch," he finally answered, his tone flat as he led the way out of the room.

"That name doesn’t ring a bell," Angela said with a frown. She had never heard that name before, which meant whoever this Patriarch was, he was a new enemy. "Wait, is this the Malynster’s villa?"

"Not at all," the guard replied as they started up the stairs. They were going higher, probably to where his boss was waiting. The place was eerily quiet even though a few other guards moved around. They were dressed the same way as the one beside her—same dark uniform, same expressionless face. They moved like machines, without emotion.

They could be... who knows?

"So, do you know what your boss wants from me?" Angela asked as she walked beside him. He didn’t turn or even look at her. His pace never changed. She thought about running, but where would she go? She had no idea where she was and needed time to study the place.

"I don’t have that information, ma," he said quietly.

"That’s bad. If you had told me, I would’ve given you a gift," Angela said, forcing a smile as they entered another corridor. It looked different from the prison area...cleaner, brighter, like a different world entirely. They stopped in front of a large wooden door and waited. "You don’t believe me when I said I’d give you a gift, right?"
