Pierre clenched his fists when he heard her mock him.
'Is she really not afraid or is she putting on an act? She's still making fun of me in the situation she's in now?'
Pierre felt that he had to teach her a lesson so that she would not think she was on vacation.
When he thought of that, he raised his hand and slapped Luca in the face.
Luca knew that he was going to slap her so she prepared herself. She could not let herself bang her head on the
bed like the night before.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Pierre did not hold back and gave her a tight slap across the face.
Her neck was twisted to the side. She was in pain.
'Does Pierre want to kill me?'
Blood spilled from the corners of Luca's mouth. She turned her head and stared at Pierre. "What do you want from
me?"
Pierre noticed the wound on her forehead and asked Eric, "You did this?"
"It was an accident. We didn't mean to do it," Eric explained.
Pierre did not condemn them. He looked at the blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, stretched out his hand,
and placed it on her forehead with force.
Luca yelled out in pain. He pressed on her wound so hard that the wound that had already stopped bleeding started
to bleed out again. Pierre looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. 'This looks more like it.'
Although it was an old wound, there was still a lot of blood.
Looking at the gurgling blood, Pierre ordered Derek, "Bring the tools here."
Hearing that, Derek immediately brought the camera equipment that they had prepared earlier.
Pierre adjusted the camera and pointed it at Luca. He then directed Eric, "You, go. When I say start, start slapping
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther in the face."
"Boss, is that a good idea?" It was not that Eric was sympathetic but he feared what Luca had said to him earlier.
If there was an organization behind her and they rescued her, he would be in trouble.
"Do you pity her? You don't want your money anymore?" Pierre threatened him. "Go ahead and slap her as hard as
you want. If something happens, I won't blame you."
"Okay..." Eric bit the bullet and agreed. After all, money was more important.
As soon as he got the money, he would just leave A City to avoid the repercussions.
They had never exposed their faces in front of Luca, so even if she was rescued, she would not be able to find out
who they were within a short time.
Eric walked over to Luca's side.
Luca looked at the burly man, then at Pierre. She said coldly, "If you want to kill or hurt me, go for it. Enough with
the theatrics."
Pierre shook his head and said, "You don't understand. Why would I kidnap you for no reason? You're valuable. I
won't kill you immediately because I still need you to do something."
After he said that, he stood up straight, put his hand on the record button, and ordered, "Slap her."
Eric saw that the camera's recording function was turned on. He raised his hand and gave Luca a hard slap on the
face.
Luca's face was instantly swept to the side by the strong force. She felt dizzy.
Before she could recover, another slap landed on the other side of her face.
The smacking sounds never stopped.
The pain in her cheek slowly numbed but she suddenly felt a sharp pain. She did not cry out because she did not
want to make herself seem weak.
She knew that Pierre was taking a video of her for a reason. The more pain she expressed, the more vulnerable
she would seem to the person who would receive the video.
Eric slapped her face hard without stopping. A slap would land on her face every two or three seconds.
A minute later, Luca's face was very swollen. Pierre raised his hand and shouted for Eric to stop.
When he first started slapping her, it was quite pleasant, but after a long time, his hand began to hurt.
Pierre continued talking using the voice changer, "Did you see that? Your woman is now in my hands. If you don't
want her to continue to suffer, stop the project in Russia and issue a press release to announce that you'll never
participate in this project. Otherwise, she'll die a tragic death.” Luca listened to what he said and understood his
intentions.
He was going to use her to blackmail Luke.
She wanted to tell them that she had nothing to do with Luke but her face hurt when she tried to open her mouth.
She could not say anything.
Luca thought to herself that she must look terrible now with her badly swollen cheeks...
Pierre instructed Derek, who was beside him, "It's your turn. Slap her with everything you got!"
Derek was even more ruthless than Eric. After he received Pierre's instructions, he stepped forward and continued
to slap Luca.
He slapped her for another minute.
Luca closed her eyes. The blood on her forehead had already flowed into her eyes. At the same time, she felt dizzy.
It might have been because she was being repeatedly slapped, or maybe it was because of the loss of blood.
A minute later, Pierre saved the recording with a wide smile on his face. He was delighted after he watched Luca
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbeing slapped so many times, especially when he thought of how he was embarrassed by her in front of Nina
before this.
He thought of editing the clip of Luca getting slapped and sending it to Nina. He wanted to let her know that if she
rejected him, she and the people around her would suffer.
After the slapping stopped, Luca could not stand it anymore and fainted on the spot.
"Boss, uh..." Eric looked at Luca, who lay lifelessly on the bed.
Pierre did not have a care in the world and just said, "See if she's still breathing."
Eric reached out his hand to check and found that she was still breathing. "Boss, she's alive."
"All is well if she's still alive. If she dies, I have to deal with it. Continue to watch her and wait for my next
instruction," Pierre said.
Eric followed him out. After he closed the door of the room, he asked, "Boss, don't you want to deal with this as
soon as possible? This woman may have found out who you are."
"She'd never be able to guess now," Pierre said. He made the video to threaten Luke to stop the project he was
working on.
That was because he secretly founded a company that was in direct competition with T Corporation.
If Luke gave up, he had one less strong opponent!
On the surface, the Mallory and Crawford families had always been in the business field. There was no competition
between the two corporations. He believed Luca knew that, which was why he recorded a video in front of her. He
threatened Luke to give up the project in front of her so that no matter how much Luca suspected him, she would
change her target because of this threat.
She would now suspect that the person who kidnapped her was one of Luke's rivals.
Pierre did not want to torture Luca so soon. He wanted to let her feel the fear of being kidnapped before he
started, but unexpectedly, she started to suspect him.
In desperation, he had to move his plan forward.
