Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 232

A strange aroma filled the air. She did not pay attention to the smell when she got in because it was not as strong then. However, as time flew by, it became stronger and more pungent.

She forced herself to reach for the door but failed to muster enough strength to open it. She tried to scream but she felt like her words were jammed at her throat.

Slowly, she started to feel dizzy and her eyes felt increasingly heavy...

At the last moment, before she passed out, she saw the driver take off his mask and turned around to her for a sinister smile.

“You… You are…”

...

Nell had no idea how long she was out cold.

However, she was woken up by a sudden chill on her body.

She opened her blurry eyes and the first thing she saw was a crudely cement-built operation room. The grey walls were dull and cold, and above her head was a white lamp in which its light was so strong that it irritated her eyes.

‘Where am I?’

As she regained consciousness, she recalled that she had called for a ride to the pottery shop and smelled something in the car. She then passed out and could not remember anything from thereon.

She bolted up. Looking around, she saw two rows of glass pillars that were filled with some liquid. There was also some kind of animal carcass soaking inside the liquid with all kinds of strange things hanging on the wall.

The air reeked of blood and formalin.

She found herself on an operation bed with her limbs tightly shackled, as though she was a sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

‘W-Where am I!?’

Nell was scared. She tried to struggle but she realized that her body was so weak that she could not muster enough strength to break free. It was as if something was injected into her body to render her helpless.

The room was dead silent and she was the only one there.

The silence was like the quiet before the storm, so terrifying that it was suffocating.

‘What’s going on? I thought I was in the car? Why am I here? What is this place? Who abducted me?’

Nell’s mind was in a mess, but it was then a series of footsteps sounded.

It was the noise of heels stepping on the concrete floor which sounded like the death knell from hell and it sent chills down her spine.

Nell was so nervous, every muscle in her body tightened.

‘Is it the abductor?’

As the footsteps came closer, a familiar face appeared above her.

“Nell, we meet again.”

Nell widened her eyes in shock.

“Celine?!”

Four tall and buff men came in together with her.

Celine still had that soft and tender smile on her but it did not fit the eerie environment around her.

“Surprised to see me here?”

Nell furrowed her brows and instantly realized something.

“What is the meaning of this?” she bellowed.

“Can’t you figure it out yourself? Nell Jennings? Are you still trying to play dumb with me? Is it that fun to toy with me?!”

Celine elbowed Nell’s chest violently. Since Nell was defenseless and did not see the attack coming, her chest felt extremely painful.

Nell lifted her lips into a ridiculing grin. “I don’t know if I’m the pair of old slippers but if you think this way, it means you are only as valuable as a pair of slippers.”

“You! Hahaha!”

All of a sudden, Celine burst out into laughter. “Okay, talking big now, are we? Do you know what the consequences are of talking big in a place like this?”

Nell chuckled and then looked askance at Celine. She said, “So will you let me go if I beg and cry in front of you?”

“Of course not!”

“Then it’s settled.”

Celine was slightly stunned by the unusual grievance that she was feeling.

‘Why is she like this? Why is she so confident in talking back to me while I have the knife in my hand and she’s all tied up? Why is she this calm despite the dire situation? Is she not afraid?!’

Celine clenched her teeth tightly before she suddenly let out a chuckle.

“I bet you don’t know but I came across a secret method of maintaining your youth from another country. They make wine out of a human's face and they say it can make you forever young. The more beautiful the face is, the better the effect.

“I have to say. I’ve seen a lot of people but none has made me fall in love like yours. When I first met you when I was 18, I knew you were more beautiful than me.

“You have no idea how much I wanted your face! Now, I have the chance to get it for myself! Tell me, should I seize the opportunity for myself?”

Celine caressed Nell’s face affectionately.

Her icy cold fingers softly stroked Nell’s cheeks, as if a snake was crawling over her face, which gave Nell more goosebumps all over her body.

Nell suppressed the disgust and impulsive act from the bottom of her heart. She stiffly moved her lips and said, “I thank you for your admiration, should I be happy?”

“Haha! You don’t have to act tough in front of me. You know that I won’t let you go now that I have you!”
