Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1140 - 1142: Miss, Your Ring (Part 9)

Korea responded to the butler, then cut off the intercom signal.

She lifted her foot towards the stairs and went downstairs.

The bathhouse lounge, which was also Charles’s sauna room, was a place Charles often came to relax and have a sauna after swimming.

They locked Ji Anning in there and even sent food and drinks, but Ji Anning had no mood to eat and stood at the door banging on it.

As she knocked, she shouted, "Let me out."

After a while without anyone responding to her, she walked to the steaming wooden bench and sat down.

This was Charles’s swimming pool, and though she didn’t know now, she knew when she was here before, only Charles could come here to swim.

If Charles wasn’t here, no one would come here.

Even if someone did come here, it would be Charles’s servants, and there’s no way they would open the door for her.

However, she would get out eventually, at most after Charles was done with the birthday party.

But she needed to see her uncle.

Could it be that the hard-won opportunity and carefully planned scheme this time would fall apart?

She was unwilling to accept that.

Ji Anning thought and got up to knock on the door again.

After just a few knocks, she was drenched in sweat and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand.

Something’s not right!

She suddenly felt something was off, calmed down, and clearly felt the room temperature was higher than before.

What’s going on?

Ji Anning quickly walked to the steaming wooden bench, where hot air was coming up from underneath.

Someone outside turned on the sauna heat!

What are they trying to do? Make her take a sauna?

Of course not, locking her in here with the sauna heat on while she’s pregnant, she’ll soon be unable to bear it, so they’re after her life.

The switch, there must be a switch in here.

Ji Anning realized and urgently went looking for the switch, but after searching for quite a while, every nook and cranny, she couldn’t find where the switch was.

She could only continue to pound on the door.

"Open the door, please! Is anyone out there..."

Is it Charles who wants her dead?

No, that’s impossible. If he wanted her dead, why go to such great lengths?

Moreover, she’s carrying her uncle’s child. He’s so concerned about her uncle, and her uncle’s mother, the child in her belly shares their blood. Even if he wanted her dead, he would wait until she gave birth to the child.

So it could only be Korea, it must be her.

This vicious woman, her previous attempts failed, yet she still tried to harm her again.

The temperature became increasingly higher, and Ji Anning’s formal dress was soaked in sweat, her whole body flushed, weakening her strength. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The sound of her knocking on the door grew fainter and fainter.

While Yao Yiyang was talking to someone for just a few moments, he couldn’t find Ji Anning upon stepping out, and after asking around everywhere, they all said they hadn’t seen her.

But everyone up and down in Charles’s house knew Ji Anning, and there were servants and guards everywhere; Ji Anning was such a noticeable person. How could they not see her?

Clearly, they were all lying. Ji Anning had already been captured by them.

Yao Yiyang looked at Charles’s butler, his eyebrows raised coldly, "Did you really not see her or are you pretending not to?"

"We truly haven’t seen her," the butler replied to Yao Yiyang without a hint of guilt, then he looked up at Yao Yiyang, trying to comfort him, "Mr. Yao, please don’t worry, as long as she’s in Charles’s mansion, we will definitely find her."

Yao Yiyang snorted coldly, "She’s one of your Charles family’s people. If anything goes wrong, you won’t be able to bear the consequences."
