Desires Die Hard

Chapter 939 The Base Members Are Dumbfounded To Know Anya Is Married

Dan said, "I can divert their attention."

"No. Do as I say. You don't have to appear before them," Evan continued, "Dan and I go to their ventilation room. The rest look for Gracie."

Evan decided to burn the base.

At least, he wanted to attract Theo's attention.

After saying that, Evan and Dan opened the door and sneaked to the ventilation room.

The rest searched for Gracie.

Luckily, they were Salmianese and wouldn't be suspected by base members.

Evan and Dan lowered their heads and headed for the ventilation room.

The ventilation room took control of the ventilation system of the base.

They decided to burn the ventilation room.

Then the fumes would cover the whole base.

Meanwhile, Anya woke up.

She opened her eyes and saw the strange room and a strange maid.

She was taken aback.

But she calmed down soon.

Anya remembered she passed out after sniffing an aroma. She realized it was Theo's trick.

"You're awake," the maid said in the local language happily.

But Anya couldn't understand her. She frowned and asked, "Where am I?"

"Are you from Cameron?" the maid was able to speak Cameronese.

But they were used to speaking the local language.

Hearing Anya's words, the maid switched to Cameronese.

"Yes. Where am I?" Anya got up.

The maid held her and said eagerly, "Take a rest!"

"No. Tell me where am I?" Anya pushed her away softly and looked around the room.

The bedroom was spacious, over 1000 square feet.

It was well-designed with crystals. The marble floor was clear. Through ceiling-to-floor windows, one could see a botanic garden.

Anya wondered whether she was in Theo's base.

She was anxious.

"We're in the base." The maid didn't know Anya's identity but she told her truth.

Anya thought, Yes, we're in Theo's base.

Where is Gracie? She must be here, too.

She walked to the ceiling-to-floor window and tried to open the window, but it was locked.

There was a combination lock.

Anya said to the maid, "I want to see Theo."

"Mr. Patel is having a meeting," the maid replied.

"Okay, I'll go out to see him."

Anya opened the door of the bedroom.

A loud sound was heard.

Anya saw a 10-foot-long corridor.

The meeting room was on the other side of the corridor.

Anya walked to the meeting room and a dozen people including Theo stared at her.

Anya wasn't afraid and asked Theo coldly, "Where is Gracie?"

Theo said calmly, "I always think you're smart. But you're too kind-hearted. Why do you take risks for an ungrateful woman?

"Why not think of how to escape the base?"

"I don't care whether she's ungrateful. I only know that my husband won't be guilty if I save her," Anya continued, "Besides, I told you that my husband would rescue me."

Theo understood that Anya only cared about Evan.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

He sneered. "No one can leave the base without my permission, including the ungrateful woman."

Then he added, "I invite you to attend the sacrifice ceremony."

"Don't be so conceited. My husband will rescue me," Anya replied.

They glared at each other.

The other base members were dumbfounded.

They thought the woman must be a maiden even though she was not wild.

To their surprise, she was married.
