Chapter 1554 No Tricks

The woman thought for a second and explained in a cajoling tone, "My bag was switched with someone else's. After my investigation, I found out that you have the same brand of bag. Since you don't know anything about what happened, I won't make things difficult for you. I simply want to retrieve the bag that belongs to me. Please recall where you put it. I'll immediately send someone to grab it and let you go once it's returned to me."

The henchman moved the dagger from Sonia's face to her throat when the woman finished.

The coldness of the blade gave her goosebumps.

She calmed down and uttered, "The bag's at my house. Let me go, and I'll give it to you."

The burly henchmen around the woman turned to her, awaiting her orders.

Sonia continued to convince them, "Look, it's quite clear that I accidentally got myself involved in whatever is going on. My wardrobe is full of bags like that. I just picked that one on that day because it matched my clothes and mood. I'm sorry if I unknowingly took yours."

Lorraine lowered her head, thought about it, and nodded. At that, the burly henchmen untied Sonia.

"Write your family member's phone number down. I'll make a call and tell them to send the bag over. Only then will we let you go," Lorraine ordered as she threw a crumpled-up paper to Sonia.

It was the first time in Sonia's life that she had to endure such humiliation. When the ropes around her limbs were loosened, her first instinct was to free her wrists. However, the henchman nearby didn't understand what courtesy meant and violently shoved a pencil into her palm, shouting, "Write!"

His voice was as loud as thunder as it reverberated in the room.

Sonia's head ached as his voice rang in her ears. She subconsciously covered them and, in order to prevent herself from becoming deaf, she quickly wrote down the information they wanted.

Lorraine felt that Sonia probably wasn't lying because the latter provided the requested information immediately and nicely. However, the bag contained something very important, so Lorraine felt compelled to verify the info herself to feel at ease. She gestured for one of her henchmen to stay and keep an eye on Sonia before leaving with the rest.

The room became eerily quiet after the woman left with her henchmen.

The remaining henchman thought Sonia didn't understand his language, so he started chatting about her with his friends on the phone.

Sonia pursed her lips. She was worried she wasn't going to be set free after all.

Therefore, she started thinking about how to contact the outside world.

She recalled she hadn't brought anything with her when she was kidnapped and began to panic.

At that moment, the henchman locked the door, paused, and approached her. She was staring into space blankly, and he could not tell what was going through her mind. He narrowed his eyes at her and questioned warily, "What are you thinking?"

She quickly thought of an excuse and smiled. "Can I go to the toilet? I really need to relieve myself." Once I'm in the restroom, I can finally relax since I won't need to see this man anymore.

The henchman tilted his head and studied her. "You better not try anything funny."

Then he opened the door to the restroom in the private room.

Sonia's initial plan was to escape by asking him to bring her to a restroom outside the private room. However, she didn't expect the private room to have its own tiny restroom. Thus, that idea was busted. Head hung low, she entered the restroom with disappointment. Once she observed the interior, she became even more dismayed.

There was only an air vent and a window inside.

She tried opening the air vent, but she lacked the strength to do so.

It might be possible for her to go for the window, though.
