Chapter 1979 Escape

Maya stammered, “H-How much money do you want?”

Noah continued leering silently at her. “Five, ten, twenty? Fifty times the sum?”

Maya was getting unnerved by his silence. Damn it. Why isn’t the offer enough for him?

She tossed out, “A hundred times? You know what, scrap that. I don’t know how much Janice offered you, but I’ll give you ten million. That’s more than enough for you to live the rest of your life in luxury!”

Her captor merely sneered, “I didn’t take the Seet family heiress to be such a miser. Ten million is nothing more than spare change for your family. It’s worth nothing to me.”

Maya was flabbergasted. He’s mad to scoff at ten million!

“Well, how much is enough for you?”

Noah smirked and replied, “I don’t want your money. I want the apple of Evan Seet’s eye — you. You’re priceless to him.”

“Hmph! My dad will kill you if you touch a single hair on me!” warned Maya.

He seemed unaffected by her threats as he continued, “Oh, don’t worry about me. I have my ways to bend your dad to my will. In fact, he’ll forgive me and give his blessings to our relationship! I’m confident of it!”

Noah continued to close the distance between them.

Maya was freaking out. Trapped in a room with a scheming pervert, her panic grew with every step he took toward her.

What should I do? How can I deal with him?

Her gaze darted around the room before landing on a nearby vase. She ran toward the vase, raising it and threatening, “I’ll smash your head with this if you come any closer!”

“Smash my head? Be my guest! I’d love to see how that works out,” Noah mocked.

He showed no signs of slowing down, and when he was a few steps away, Maya closed her eyes and threw the vase at him.

Noah was prepared for her attack and nimbly dodged the vase, which shattered into pieces on the floor.

Maya opened her eyes, witnessing the mess of shards on the floor. Hastily, she picked up one of the shards and yelled, “I-I’ll stab you if you come any closer!”

He smiled derisively and declared, “I knew you wouldn’t be a good girl. Time for you to take your medicine!”

“Get away from me!”

When Noah was about half a meter away from Maya, his leg suddenly shot out, kicking the shard out of a stunned Maya’s hand.

Sh*t! Janice hired a fighter. Argh, I’m dead! If only I knew how to fight like Kyle and Juan!

Noah took advantage of Maya’s shock and roughly pulled her into his arms.

He ordered, “Open your mouth!”

Maya struggled to get out of his hold as Noah produced a pill from his pocket, obviously intending to stuff it down her throat.

She quickly realized that she could never overcome his strength, and she changed tack, biting his forearm viciously instead. Maya bit down as hard as she could, aware that this was her last chance of saving herself.

“Argh!” Noah howled in pain before shoving Maya to the ground.

He thundered, “Stupid b*tch! You’re asking for trouble!”

Just as he was about to kick Maya in the stomach, the room door suddenly burst open.

Maya yelped in relief, “Uncle Davin!”

“Get up, Maya.”

Noah stared at the doorway, spotting Davin and a burly, imposing man.

He knew when to concede his battles, and this was one of those times.

Davin read his intention to escape and kicked Noah in a flash, sending the man flying into a nearby couch.

Davin growled, “How dare you harm Maya! Are you some daredevil, or do you have a death wish?”

Noah stammered, “I-I didn’t know she’s a member of the Seet family. I was ignorant—”

Maya cut in furiously, “Cut the crap! You were just telling me how I was the apple of Evan Seet’s eye! You targeted me on purpose! Uncle Davin, Janice is behind this! She’s the mastermind!”
