934: A Lesson (3)

A Lesson (3)

2"Ghost Charm is feeling tired, so I'll be in charge of taking care of you now." Mark's expression was sinister and he gave her a sly smile. Chills ran down Ling Tianya's spine and she was scared.

"I don't need you to take care of me. Please leave me alone." Ling Tianya looked around the room that she was trapped in. There wasn't a single piece of equipment she could use to defend herself.

"You're the Young Mistress of the Ruan family. You have it all, don't you? How can you not have anyone around to serve you?" The woman in the hat finally spoke.

The woman's voice was deep and raspy, surprising Ling Tianya. She stared at the woman with concentration, and she could tell that this woman hated her even more than Mark did.

"Do we know each other?" Ling Tianya asked. She couldn't be sure now since a part of her memory had been erased. She couldn't say with confidence that she had never met this woman before, or that they didn't have a feud with each other seven years ago.

However, she was certain about one thing.

She was certain that the woman hated her, the woman hated her to her bones. From the moment she walked into the room, the woman had clutched her fists tightly into a ball. Ling Tianya could see her pale knuckled hands.

"Do we know each other?" the woman repeated what she said with her raspy voice. "Of course we know each other, we're old friends now."

The woman approached her slowly and Mark followed behind her. They were closing in on Ling Tianya now.

Ling Tianya's wariness made the woman excited, and she started laughing hysterically. "Ling Tianya, are you afraid now? I believe that the brave Young Mistress would be afraid too. If only the people from the Ruan family could see you now, it would make me feel good."

At this moment, Ling Tianya was certain that the woman not only hated her but hated the Ruan family as well.

Looking at her silhouette, Ling Tianya found the woman familiar but she couldn't place exactly where she knew her from.

"Who on earth are you?" Ling Tianya asked in a low voice. She tried her best to control her emotions, willing herself to stay calm.

When she saw Ling Tianya slowly calm her own nerves, the woman was annoyed. She swiftly removed her hat and revealed her face beneath it that was wrapped up in bandages.

Ling Tianya was shocked to see her face beneath the hat. It was beyond her expectations. There was no way she could recognize this woman now.

The woman inched closer to Ling Tianya. "Why? Young Mistress, you can recognize me now? You are the reason I'm like this, you know."

"Mark." The woman turned to look at Mark. "Help me tie her up."

Mark retrieved a piece of rope from his jacket and he easily grabbed Ling Tianya. He tied her up and threw her onto the couch.

Ling Tianya leaned against the back of the couch and sat up straight. "Mark, your boss gave you clear instructions. No one is allowed to bother me! So, you better release me now. I can still act like nothing happened. I won't tell your boss."

Ling Tianya's words struck some fear in Mark and he turned to look at the woman beside him.

The woman walked forward and gave Ling Tianya a hard slap.

The slap was loud and heavy. "You don't have to threaten Mark like that. I'm the one who is going to teach you a lesson! I don't belong to the organization, so no one can do anything to me!"

With that, the woman raised her hands again and slapped Ling Tianya across the face again.
