Chapter 687 Evelyn Falls for the Trick Instead
Alana took the elevator and headed for the third floor below ground. She brought the bowl of noodles and arrived outside the cell where Emmeline was imprisoned..
Since she dared not enter the room, Alana unlocked the gate and quickly placed the bowl on the floor inside the room. Then, she closed and locked the gate immediately.
Alana called aloud, “Emmeline! I don’t want to starve you to death. Here’s a bowl of noodles. You should have enough energy so that I could have fun toying with you!”
Emmeline snickered contemptuously, “Wouldn’t it be better for you if I had starved to death instead?”
“How could I watch you die when I hadn’t even gotten a chance to torment you?” Alana went on, “I need to make sure you’re well–fed so that I get to enjoy tormenting you later on!”
“I knew you only had ill intentions behind your every action!”
Alana chuckled sinisterly. “Anyhow, you’ll have to suffer a hellish treatment one way or another. You might as well fill up your stomach so that you’d have the strength to endure what’s abour to come.”
“Get the hell out of here!” Emmeline felt around and found a piece of rock. Then, she threw it in the direction of the gate.
Alana was frightfully alarmed by the loud sound of the stone hitting the iron gate. She scurried off the next instant.
On the other hand, Evelyn woke up to all the noise.
She had gotten used to the darkness around her. As she scanned her surroundings, Evelyn spotted Emmeline sitting in a corner not too far away. Emmeline was still fiddling with the knife from earlier.
Why did I even ask Alana to bring along a knife? Not only did we fail to overpower Emmeline, but we had also given her a weapon to use against us…
“Emma…” Evelyn was about to say something when she suddenly detected the familiar scent of food.
She turned her eyes to the gate and saw the bowl of noodles placed on the floor. She could hear her stomach churning at that moment.
Evelyn was famished as she had not eaten for almost a day. She dashed toward the bowl at once and picked it up. Then, she went to a corner furthest away from Emmeline and started wolfing down the noodles.
She kept a wary gaze on Emmeline.
“You don’t have to rush to finish the noodles.” Emmeline rolled her eyes. “I was going to eat the noodles by myself, but you got to it before me. I won’t try to take it away from you.”
“I won’t let you have any of it!” Evelyn replied, “You might try to hurt me again once you regain your strength!”
Emmeline let out a scoff. “I don’t want something that you’ve already eaten anyway. Just eat normally so I won’t have to help you when you choke on the noodles.”
Despite hearing those words, Evelyn continued to stuff her mouth with the noodles in a rushed manner.
“Seriously, it almost seems like you haven’t eaten any food your whole life!” Emmeline curled her lips as she watched Evelyn eat.
“Hmph! I won’t give you a bite, no matter what you say!” Evelyn slurped on the noodles as she fixed Emmeline with a hostile gaze.
Normally, Evelyn would not be able to finish the entire bowl of noodles. However, she managed to do it that day as she pushed herself to the limit. She even drank all of the soup and emptied the bowl completely.
“Heh! I’m full now.” Evelyn slowly rubbed her stomach.
Just then, a soft sound came from Emmeline’s body as her stomach growled due to hunger.
Emmeline placed her hand over her tummy.
She was trying her best to suppress her hunger as Evelyn finished that bowl of noodles.
I’d rather starve than eat the food she ate. Besides, I’m alright with starving for a day or two. I’ve received the relevant training sessions on Adelmar Island before.
“Hahaha!” Evelyn laughed hysterically upon hearing the noise. “I hope you starve to death! It’ll be payback for you biting off my finger!”
“You must have forgotten about the pain again.” Emmeline said in a chilling voice, “Shall I cut off another two of your fingers?”
Emmeline held up the knife in her hand.
“No!” Evelyn shouted in fear. Then, she fell onto the floor as she seemed to have passed out again.
Emmeline pondered curiously.
Did I make her faint with just a single threat?
Emmeline walked over to where Evelyn was and heard the faint sound of someone snoring.
“She fell asleep?!”
Could it be that there was something added to the bowl of noodles?
