Chapter 1090Chapter 1090 She’s Held Captive Here
As Jamie threw such a fit after Narissa had left, the rest of them knew exactly who the 'beautiful lady' he
was referring to was.
Alicia's hand hung in mid-air before she awkwardly retracted it. "I better visit him some other day."
She stood up, intending to leave.
Bridgette then walked Alicia to the door before returning to Taven.
"This lady seems to have feelings for our son. Shall we try to get them together?"
Being a mother, Bridgette was always concerned about her son. Now that Jamie had become a fool, he
couldn't find a wife. As such, Bridgette naturally didn't want to let Alicia go since the latter had shown up.
"We'll see." Taven waved his hand and continued, "Let's get ready to apologize to the Cubers!"
Narissa's family was far more respectable than Jamie's, which made him unworthy of Narissa. The Keller
Family should be overjoyed that Narissa wanted to marry into the family, but Jamie has chosen to betray
Narissa's trust in such a way. As his parents, Taven and Bridgette had to clean up their son's mess.
…
Just as Narissa was about to fall asleep later that night, she felt someone approaching her.
novelbinShe instinctively opened her eyes and when she sensed where the person was, she flipped her body
and gave the person a punch, which happened to land on his left eye.
Narissa then quickly seized the opportunity to lift her blanket and sit upright. Just as she got into position
to fight, she heard a hoarse cry. "Ouch! It's painful! It's Jamie here!"That left her speechless. She turned on the lights, only to find Jamie in front of her, moaning while
covering his eye. "Why are you here?" she inquired, frustrated.
Jamie sniffed and stopped crying. "I missed you. I want to sleep with you, beautiful lady!"
"You can't!" Narissa turned him down right away. "A grown-up man can never sleep with a woman. Go
back to where you came from!"
When Jamie heard that, he immediately pouted his lips aggrievedly, his eyes welling up with tears.
However, Narissa prevented him from doing so. "Stop. If you cry, I'll punch your other eye out! Swallow
your tears right now!"
That terrified Jamie so much that he quickly covered his other eye and obediently wiped away his tears
and snot while kneeling, giving him a pitiful appearance.
His blue-black eye, which he almost couldn't open, made Narissa's heart ache as she reached her hand
out, wanting to rub it for him. However, the moment she touched him, she changed his mind and got out
of bed.
"I'll send you back now."
She intended to drag Jamie out by his hand, but he sat on the floor and refused to leave. "I don't want to
go back! I want to stay with you! Don't send me back!"
Left with no other option, Narissa extended her hand and knocked him on the back of his neck, making
him unconscious. She then wrapped her arms around his shoulders and dragged him out.
Despite Jamie's slim appearance, she had to exert much force to drag him out. When she arrived at the
yard, she couldn't help but pause and gasp for air.Jamie's soft body fell toward the ground the moment Narissa came to a halt. Noticing this, she quickly
stabilized him by holding his underarms from the front.
After they both stood still, she flung back her hair in relief. While doing so, she noticed Zephyr standing in
the yard right next to hers, staring at them.
He was looking at them strangely as if he was about to see right through her.
"I…" Narissa felt compelled to explain, even though she had no idea why. "He suddenly entered my
room, so I'm just sending him back."
Meanwhile, Zephyr displayed no visible emotions on his face. "Just go, then," he said matter-of-factly.
He didn't tease or mock her or even inquire further, but she found him odd. She opened her mouth,
wanting to say something more, but she eventually remained silent and carried Jamie into the house.
She found herself acting weirdly too. Why do I have to explain to Zephyr about Jamie and me?
But she answered herself the very next second. I announced my breakup with Jamie just this afternoon.
If Zephyr misunderstands that I am still sharing a room with Jamie at night, I will be perceived as a
capricious woman and rumors will start spreading. That's why I have to explain it to Zephyr. I don't want
him to have any tricks up his sleeve!
…
Meanwhile, it was noon at the other end of the world.
Elise had just awoken from her nap and was doing some light exercises.
Zoe pushed open the door and walked in at this instant. "Mrs. Griffith, today's weather is beautiful. Let's
go outside and get some sun.""This place is really nice to provide such an activity, huh?" Elise thought this place was just another
location to imprison her.
"This is for the sake of your child. If you're unwilling, we can drop the idea."
"Let's go."
Of course, Elise would not pass up such an opportunity to unwind.
Zoe then brought her to a park. Unlike the previous playground where the children played, this park was
surrounded by barbed wires and divided into two areas.
Elise entered one of them, while the other side also housed tens of pregnant women coming out to get
enough sunlight. Despite their various skin tones, they all looked elegant.
"I don't get to choose."
As her movements were restricted, she could only quietly observe the other pregnant women while
basking in the sun.
She didn't notice anything unusual at first until a Cittadelian figure appeared near the wire fencing in the
middle. Her appearance finally gave Elise some hope.
The woman had fair skin, bright eyes, and long hair that was strewn across her shoulders. She was
dressed elegantly in a women's suit and wore a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles, giving her the
appearance of being both graceful and capable.
Elise found the woman's face familiar. After a thorough search in her memory, she finally remembered
who the woman was. She was Sasha Greens, the wife of Timothy Lancaster, a well-known physicist.The SK Group had nearly sacrificed one of their valuable experts to locate Timothy and Sasha's location
back then, and it was finally discovered now that they were being held captive here.
When Zoe stepped out for a while, Elise quickly approached Sasha and called out to her in hushed
tones, "Mrs. Lancaster!"
Sasha immediately turned around and looked at Elise when she heard that. "Do you know who I am?"
she asked as she pushed her spectacles up her nose, looking vigilant.
Elise nodded solemnly in response. "Why are you alone? Where is Professor Lancaster?"
"Doesn't everyone here have their husbands in the same place?"
"What do you mean?"
"They are all in the laboratory. Isn't your husband a scientist?"
Elise responded with a shake of her head, but she understood what Sasha was saying. Those intelligent
men whom Triune had kidnaped had become Triune's puppet think tank and were all conducting a
certain experiment for Triune.
"If that's the case, I suppose you must be good enough in the science field yourself, right?"
"I'm not." Elise denied it, but she added, "But I have what they want."
Sasha nodded in agreement. Those who were not valuable to Triune were garbage to them, and they
would never waste their time holding garbage captive.
"Are all of them scientists' wives?" Elise asked while pointing to all the pregnant women around Sasha.
With a nod, Sasha answered, "By doing so, they can ensure that the genes are perfect."Though Elise had already guessed the same thing when she saw the children previously, having her
guess confirmed by the appearances of these pregnant women she was now seeing made her find
Triune frightening.
"You seem to have been kept captive for a long time. Do you not know what the children born here will
face? Why do you still choose to get pregnant?"
"I don't get to choose."
