Chapter 150 Just a Bowl of Rice

Chapter 150 Just a Bowl of Rice

Lilian Rossum's face turned red from suffocation, and she lay on the ground coughing, her voice very hoarse.

She coughed out those grains of rice, mixed with saliva, dribbling from her mouth.

Johnson Smith stared at her intently.

Although she looked miserable, the more pitiful she appeared, the more he wanted to see her even more distressed.

After coughing out the rice, she gasped with her mouth slightly open, saliva still dripping from the corners of her mouth.

Lilian looked at Johnson Smith with red-rimmed eyes hopelessly, her lips moving without sound, but Johnson could understand her lip movements.

She said: Kill me.

Johnson Smith smiled faintly, raising his hand to tidy up Lilian's messy hair, "Didn't you forget? I just said, you can't die."

He said, bringing the bowl of rice to her mouth, "Eat." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Lilian Rossum instinctively closed her mouth and turned her head to avoid the bowl.

Johnson Smith said, "If you die, your good friend will also die. Think about it."

Lilian was taken aback, not understanding Johnson Smith's words.

Johnson continued, picking up a remote control from the bed and turning on the TV on the wall.

On the screen, someone was tied to a post, blindfolded, with her mouth taped shut, occasionally struggling.

It was-Courtney Sachs!

Lilian suddenly looked at Johnson Smith.

Johnson said, "Aren't you curious about how you ended up here?"

"She brought you out."

"She received a message saying you were in danger, and she came to take you away without hesitation."

"She wanted to take you away from the Linkland City and even forged a divorce agreement. Even if I don't kill her, Francis Landau won't let her go, right?"

Lilian stared at him in disbelief, not knowing whether she was angry or scared, her whole body trembling.

She really deserved to die...

She shouldn't have befriended Courtney in the first place. Now anyone can threaten her using Courtney.

She harmed Courtney Sachs and also Fabiana Klaud.

She deserved to die. She didn't deserve to live!

Guilt, remorse, and endless regret overwhelmed her like a tidal wave, making her feel even more suffocated than when her face was buried in the bowl.

Tears streamed from Lilian's eyes, and she lay weakly on the ground, wanting to cry out with all her might, but she couldn't.

Johnson Smith brought the bowl to her mouth again, "Eat."

Lilian Rossum's lips trembled slightly as she stared at the messy food in the bowl, tears dripping from her chin into the bowl.

It's just a bowl of rice. She couldn't let Courtney lose her life over it.

She slowly approached the bowl, enduring all the humiliation, burying her head in the bowl, and took a big bite of rice.

Johnson Smith looked down at her with a playful smile, as if looking at a cute puppy.

Lilian swallowed the rice in her mouth and took another big bite, looking as if she was starving.

Only when the bowl was empty did she raise her disheveled face to look at Johnson Smith.

"You didn't eat it all. Wasting food isn't what a good child does."

Lilian Rossum's gaze shifted back to the bowl. The rice stuck to the bowl was sparse. She would have to lick it with her tongue to clean it up.

She pursed her lips, her cheeks and hair still smeared with rice. She tried several times but still couldn't bring herself to do it.

Johnson Smith laughed, "What? Do you want dignity?"

"You've been Francis Landau's little dog for so many years, where's your dignity?"

"Now you want dignity, even at the cost of your friend's life?"

His words pierced her heart, every word hitting her pain points and vulnerabilities.

Lilian Rossum swallowed hard, closed her eyes, and brought her head closer to the bowl.
