The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 554 The Ending For Lysanne

+5 Pearls

In a state of confusion, Lysanne was completely engulfed by darkness. By the time she woke up, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar place..

Surrounded by complete darkness, she was lying on a bed that was both hard and worn out. Accustomed to a life of luxury, she couldn’t tolerate such conditions. She immediately sat up and complained, “What kind of godforsaken place is this? Where on earth have you brought me?”

Accompanied by a soft click, someone flipped on the light switch.

Lysanne soon realized that the room she was in actually had a window. However, the outside was so dark that she couldn’t see her hand in front of her face. Thus, no light had been able to penetrate through earlier.

Carol walked in alone, her voice nonchalantly breaking the silence. “You’re awake.”

Subconsciously shrinking back, Lysanne asked, “When do you plan on letting me go? If I’m missing for too long, it won’t go unnoticed!”

As Lysanne spoke, she began to look around, attempting to find an opportunity to escape. However, the view outside the window was utterly unfamiliar, and the same was true for the room itself.

The room appeared to be a typical living space, yet the furniture was pitifully sparse. Apart from a wooden bed, there was only a table and a chair. Even the small window on the door was patched up with

newspaper.

Carol responded with a poker face, “From now on, this will be your room. Feel free to make yourself at home.”

In disbelief, Lysanne questioned, “What are you babbling about? How could I possibly live in a place like this? Holding someone in captivity is illegal, you know!”

Carol nodded. “I know, but for that to work, someone would need to know you’re here. As for calling the police, the law here doesn’t seem to work for you.”

Upon detecting the hidden meaning in her words, Lysanne quickly made her way toward the door.

The bodyguards in black who had escorted her earlier were stationed outside. Upon seeing Lysanne emerge, they didn’t immediately stop her. Instead, they allowed her to take a few steps down the corridor before she halted on her own.

Lysanne clearly observed the corridor, which was even more rundown than the room, and a few individuals with foreign features not far off.
