He traced Tracy’s chin with his fingers, his fingertips sliding across her skin like a cold serpent slithering along her body, making her break out in goosebumps.

His smile was nasty, and his eyes were full of lecherous intent. “You shouldn’t underestimate the Gills. Mr. Gill has started looking into this personally. Do you even realize how much trouble you’ve brought the academy?

“You made such a huge mistake. Don’t you think you owe the academy some compensation?”

As he spoke, his hand slid down from Tracy’s chin to her neck, and he just kept going lower.

The moment his hand brushed Tracy’s collar, his wrist was suddenly seized.

In the blink of an eye, he stumbled backward, nearly falling over.

He stared in surprise-Tracy, who had been tied up in the chair and unable to move, had somehow managed to get herself free.

His surprise quickly faded as a realization dawned on him. “Number Seven taught you this, didn’t she?”

Just mentioning Number Seven filled his voice with loathing and contempt, as if he’d just named something filthy.

Tracy’s face stayed cold. “Don’t call her Number Seven. Her name is Yvonne Burton.”

Yvonne was one of the friends Tracy had met at Angelic Etiquette Academy.

She’d been an orphan who, through her own grit, worked her way up to become a star bodyguard at a security company.

Unlike girls like Tracy, who were sent to the Angelic Etiquette Academy by their own families, Yvonne had been dumped there by her employer.

Her looks had caught her employer’s eye, but she’d turned him down.

Even though Yvonne was the company’s prized bodyguard, in the end, she was just muscle for hire. When her employer offered more money, the company sold her out without a second thought.

She fought back hard and ended up injuring her employer, so he tossed her into Angelic Etiquette Academy for “training.”

By staying close to Yvonne, Tracy really did learn a lot about self-defense and escaping dangerous

situations.

The man caught the chill in Tracy’s tone, but he didn’t care at all.

In fact, his sneer grew more mocking. “I really don’t get what you strays are after. If you’d just behave and play the part of a dog, the academy would toss you a bone now and then. Instead, you push yourselves so far you’re bound to lose your lives.

“Out of the ten strays, you’re the weakest one left. Even if you’ve got dirt on the academy, you’re barely

“If I were you, I would’ve hanged myself already. Why keep living every day in fear?”

His voice was thick with manipulation, like he wished he could hand her the rope himself.

Tracy’s expression stayed cold and calm. She even let out a cold laugh. “If I’m dead, aren’t you worried that the evidence I have will go public the very next second?”

Upon hearing that, the man’s expression froze, and a cruel glint flickered in his eyes. But he clenched his fists and held himself back from actually touching her.

The evidence was the only reason they didn’t dare do anything to her. Otherwise, her body would have been picked clean a long time ago.

Facing her former “teacher,” Tracy tried to calm herself, but the fear deep down never quite left her.

Even so, she forced herself to meet his gaze. “There’s no need to put on a show in front of me.

“If you were really scared of Norris’s investigation, you’d go after the Gills first, then wipe me out.

You only kidnapped me to scare me and see if I’d give up what I know.

“I may not be as smart as Derek, but I’m not so stupid that I’d fall for your tricks.”

The Gills stood on equal footing with the Jackmans in Cloudville, and most people were wary of them, but Angelic Etiquette Academy’s reach went way beyond Cloudville.

Even if the Jackmans and the Gills joined forces, they still weren’t a match for the academy.

The man dropped his nasty grin and looked Tracy straight in the eye. “You really have gotten smarter.”

Tracy didn’t respond. She just stared back at him.

Even with her face pale, there was still a stubborn defiance in her eyes.

After a long silence, the man finally lost his edge. “You’d better keep your promise and keep your mouth

shut, or else…”

He shot her a warning glare before finally turning and leaving.

Tracy kept her guard up, watching him until he was gone. Only then did she let herself relax and collapse onto the floor.

She gasped for air, so shaken she could barely breathe, fear gripping every inch of her.

She had no idea how much time had passed before night finally fell, and she managed to pull herself back together.

She wasn’t sure if she was hallucinating, but she seemed to hear Ronald’s voice.

She looked up and saw Ronald running toward her from the darkness, carrying a lamp.

He was like a knife cutting through the dark, letting light in.

Ronald knelt down in front of her, breathing hard and full of worry. “CeeCee, are you okay? Are you hurt?”

Ronald had always had people watching over Tracy, but no one had expected her to get snatched off the street like this.
