Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 36

Lacey: "No, I've been in the living room all the time, Violette hasn't come back."

Elijah felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Where could she have gone if she didn't come back?

She said she was coming back to write her thesis. Was she lying to him?

"Sir, I will give her a call." Lacey said and quickly walked towards the living room.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Violette was kidnapped after leaving Oakwood Manor.

She was forcibly pulled into a car, where they blindfolded her and tied her hands. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

After driving on the road for nearly an hour, the car finally stopped.

She was taken to a room, and was forcibly made to sit on a chair.

When the blindfold was removed, a strange man's voice sounded, "Ms. Dennis, we're sorry. We

brought you here on behalf of someone else. As long as you cooperate with us, we won't hurt you."

Violette scanned the pure white room, finally locking her gaze onto the stranger's face.

He was wearing a mask, so his face was obscured

, and she didn't recognize his voice as well.

"As long as you guys don't hurt me, I will do my best to cooperate. But, I've never done anything illegal,

so forcing me won't work." Violette negotiated with him.

The strange man sneered, "With your delicate look, what kind of illegal things could you possibly do?"

With that, he untied Violette's hands, then connected the lie detector electrodes to her body.

"This is a lie detector. I will be asking you some questions next, you must answer truthfully. If you lie,

you can't fool the lie detector. If the lie detector shows that you're lying, don't think about leaving here

safely tonight. Got it?"

Violette glanced at the detector, remained silent for a moment, then nodded her head.

"Don't worry, I won't lie."

"Good to know you understand the rules." The man seemed satisfied with her attitude, then started the

interrogation, "What's your name?"

"Violette."

"Did your father tell you the safe's password before he passed away?"

Violette: "No."

After she answered, the man glanced at the monitor.

Her physiological data were all within the normal range, indicating that she wasn't lying.

"What were you doing at Oakwood Manor tonight? Who invited you?"

Violette didn't answer.

"Do you want to lie?" The man urged, "Just answer me directly!"

"Okay... I just didn't want to scare you." Violette said calmly, "Do you know the Bourne family?"

"Which Bourne family?"

"Do you know Elijah?" Violette continued.

Man: "Of course I know Elijah! He's so rich, who doesn't know him! Why are you mentioning him? Did

he invite you?"

Violette shook her head: "Then do you know his nephew Kaleb?"

"What's the point of telling me all this? Am I the one asking you questions, or are you asking me? Just

answer my questions! Don't waste my time!"

The man started to get agitated.

Violette: "Kaleb is the one I brought."

"What's your relationship with him?"

"My relationship with him is very special. You're an adult, I believe you understand what I'm saying."

"Okay, I get it! Did you open your father's safe? This question is critical, you better not lie! Because the

client I represent already knows the truth! This lie detector, it's just a tool!"

Facing the stranger's stern look, Violette pondered for a while, then answered: "I opened it. But the

stuff is not with me anymore."

"Who did you give the stuff to?"

"I've already mentioned his name before." Violette looked at him innocently.

"Elijah?"

Violette shook her head.

"Oh, so it's your boyfriend Kaleb?"

Violette nodded.
