Chapter 9 Brutal Man
She hurriedly used the Internet phone to call the police, but the signal was cut off before the call was answered. She did not give up and called again, but the result was the same. So, she could only log on to Line to send an asking–for–help
message to her colleague, hoping she could figure out a way to rescue her.
But as soon as sending the message out, she helplessly saw the three lines of words disappear. They had disappeared for no reason!
Arabella stared at the screen in shock and hurriedly typed another line of words, but it disappeared again.
She panicked and soon used the Internet phone to call the fire brigade and a newspaper office she knew. She must escape!
But the result was the same. The signal automatically went off before the call was answered.
When the locked door was pushed open from the outside, Arabella sitting at the desk flustered and raised her head.
Soon, Andrew wheeled a dining cart inside with a knowing face and earnestly said, “Ms. Snyder, you’re making efforts in vain.”
Arabella froze. It turned out they saw everything she did. All her efforts were useless.
“The Lucero family has the most stringent information monitoring. Only Mr. Lucero’s electronic devices are not

monitored. You can never contact the outside world. Even if you make it…”
Andrew paused, looked at her with pity, and continued, “It will be useless.”
“Why?”
“Because he’s Kenneth Lucero,” Andrew replied.
Kenneth Lucero meant privilege.
Arabella slumped in the chair and tightly hugged herself in a protective position.
It was useless for her to do anything. She could only be imprisoned here and could never escape.
“Ms. Snyder, you are too weak. Please eat something,” Andrew said while taking out the delicious dishes from the dining car and putting them on the desk.
“I have never had a child! And I had never seen him before,” Arabella murmured.
Holding the last glimmer of hope, she looked at Andrew and asked, “Andrew, if I go to beg Kenneth, will he let me go?”
She was willing to beg him if he would let her go.
After Andrew silently gave her a look of pity in response, she understood what he meant and felt desperate. Must he ask that person for help? No, she was unwilling.
Kenneth didn’t harm her or even come to see her again.
Arabella’s body gradually recovered. But after being

imprisoned in Empire Castle for several days, she became increasingly dispirited.
There were countless bodyguards in the castle, and they watched her wherever she went. So, she could not even approach the gate. She could not contact her family, colleagues, or friends. Andrew, the bodyguards, and the psychological expert took turns asking her about where the child was every day. So, she almost had a mental breakout.
She couldn’t figure out why Kenneth firmly believed she had given birth to his child. But after they kept questioning her, she began to suspect she had lost her memory. But she remembered everything except the baby. If she had given birth, she should have had a child beside her no matter what. So, it did not make sense.
She didn’t know what had happened to her.
“Don’t ask the same question anymore! I didn’t hide the child- because I’ve never given birth.”
After another round of interrogation, Arabella repeated the words she had said thousands of times in pain with an ash- pale face, and her lips were dry and bloodless.
After the psychologist left, she slowly squatted down with her back against the wall and thrust her fingers into her hair, feeling extremely uncomfortable. And she did not know how long such a hopeless life would last.
She was trapped in this paradise–like hell because of a nonexistent child, unable to escape.

Suddenly, a woman coquettishly moaned outside, “Mr. Lucero, don’t do this.”

Arabella stood up, slightly opened the door, and looked out, only to see a woman in silk pajamas sitting on the railing in the corridor. Her pajamas slipped down to her elbows, revealing her curvy figure.
Kenneth was standing in front of her fully clothed. He hugged her, moved his palms over her back, and intently kissed her neck with his thin lips.
“Mr. Lucero…”
The woman raised her head, let him do whatever he wanted, and said with a pleased expression, “Mr. Lucero, when can I get promoted?”
Kenneth passionately bit her neck but coldly asked, “What do you want?”
“I don’t expect to be your girlfriend. I just want to be one of your mistresses. Don’t worry, I am sensible and tight–lipped. I will never talk nonsense to the media. Is it OK?” Leia asked while holding him tighter.
“It depends on your performance.”
“I will do my best.”
“Clever woman.”
When Kenneth picked Leia up and walked away, Arabella stood at the door and stared after them with hatred.
This evil pervert was not only brutal but also disgusting. Why were there so many women throwing themselves on him? And
they just wanted to be one of his mistresses!
Andrew had said Kenneth’s family was choosing a wife for him. But he was still messing around with women. Sure enough, the so–called high society was dirty.
After a while, Arabella opened the door and walked in the opposite direction.
