The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 304

Elias held her even tighter as if telling her not to be afraid. Even though they were in the dark, for a moment, Amanda felt like the world around her was filled with light. “What kind of sound is that?” Amanda blurted.

Before Elias could answer, Taylor flew into a rage. He wanted to hit Elias, but the darkness prevented him from seeking the guy out, so he roared. “What the hell are you doing? You hurt my sister badly enough, so stop this right now!”

Nobody was sure that Rosie was just faking her madness. If her madness was real, she might faint from fear just from hearing these sounds alone. Taylor whirled around and stormed off. He wanted to tell the butler to turn the switch on. The whole place is like a dark dungeon. There’s no tay Rotie is going to come out. She might trip and fall.

Elias, however, was unbelievably calm. He was waiting for the rest of the recording to be played.

Amanda aked, “It’s a bit too far, don’t you think? What if we actually drive her insane with this?”
