The Villain's Wife-Chapter 898 Thirty Seconds

Chapter 898 Thirty Seconds

Lily eyed the large wall clock that was in the room. Thirty more minutes and the two hours that Kuznetsov promised is going to end. She bit her lower lip. However, her face didn't show any trace of unease. She roamed her eyes inside the room. After a few minutes, Lily stood next to the wall where various fake daggers were displayed. Then she walked towards the wooden table, examining its drawers to check if she could use something to defend herself.

After a few more minutes, Lily sighed and sat back on the bed. Her thoughts were interrupted when Victor suddenly strode inside the room. The sinister glint in the man's eyes was too unmistakable; it made Lily flinch. "The two hours is not yet done." She uttered in a cold voice.

"So?"

"Kuznetsov wouldn't want you to disturb me."

"He asked me to sit here and guard you. Who knows what kind of sinister idea your mind will have?" the old man sat on the couch a few feet away from Lily. Sneering, he stared at her bandaged hand. "I was surprised that he would waste some time to treat your wound."

"He is planning to keep me alive. Of course, he will treat my wound." Lily understood that the reason why Kuznetsov treated her hand is that he wanted her to feel at ease, to think that he would not kill her. Once that happens, Lily would believe that he would let her live once she gave the file to Kuznetsov. . Did he really think Lily was that naive and stupid?

"Is that so?" the older man gave her a meaningful gaze before turning his head away. "Then you better think about it carefully. Once you refuse, your family will die, and I will torture you. Of course… it would be better if you refuse so I can kill you."

Lily lowered her head, hiding the disgust apparent in her eyes. That Kuznetsov was really crafty. For him to send Victor here to act as the bad guy while he acted as the good guy. How amusing.

The two wanted to pressure her by acting this way. Clearly, they looked down on her. However, this only made Lily smile inwardly. Looking down on her was their greatest mistake. "Victor… how did you know that my grandmother killed your family?" she asked.

"Aren't you supposed to think about it? Stop asking questions that do not concern you!" As expected, the old man refused to have a decent conversation. It was apparent how he feared Lily's way of manipulating people.

"If you are not sure that my grandmother killed your parents… then why do this? Without proof…"

"I have proof! Now shut the fuck up! You still have ten minutes. After that, you will go and see Kuznetsov again!"

His outburst didn't bother Lily. Still, she remained calm and collected. She continued staring at him as she thought of how Lilian had trusted this man before. It seems that in this world, we cannot really trust a lot of people. "The Order thinks that they are the ones who killed my grandmother." Lily asked. "Why is that?" If her guess was right, the order also sent someone to kill Lilian. Of course, Lily could already guess who that someone is.

"Why do you care? Do you think that you can still avenge your grandmother's death? Hmph! Stop talking nonsense and think! Still, I would be glad if you refuse to give us the location. That would only benefit me!"

"Do you know that Kuznetsov is only manipulating you?" Lily suddenly asked. She eyed the man who suddenly started sweating a lot. A mysterious smile bloomed on Lily's lips.

"Why is this room so hot? Did you touch the thermostat?" He stood and took off his jacket, leaving a white Vneck shirt underneath. He then glared at her. "Don't move!"

"I thought it was there to intentionally let me die from the heat?" Lily said before sighing. "I didn't touch anything in this room." She watched as Victor glared at her while approaching the thermostat near the bathroom door.

"Why is this so high? Fucking dumb servants!" He immediately lowered the temperature and went back to his seat. However, since Victor was still sweating, he didn't put his jacket on.

Lily eyed the time before she started talking. "Victor… do you know that Kuznetsov is only trying to use your anger?"

"Why does that matter?" In Victor's mind, this Lily is already considered dead. Why waste his time talking to dead people? He stopped looking at Lily and gritted his teeth. Seeing her resemblance to that woman is making his blood boil in pure hatred. He needed to endure. Looking at his wristwatch, a smile soon blossomed on his time-worn face. "It's time. Tell me… where is it?" He stood and approached Lily. "Answer me!"

"I will only tell Kuznetsov." Lily answered before she stood and stared at the man who towered over her.

"You— " Unable to contain his anger, Victor grabbed Lily's injured arm, making her flinch. "I said, where is it? Answer me!?" his eyes bulged as he tightened his hand around Lily's arm.

"You know…" Lily suddenly said. She stopped the trembling from her voice and added. "I knew that this would happen. I knew that the enemies would take me and try to threaten me." Lily sneered, bravely meeting his eyes. "Why do you think I would allow that to happen?" Seeing the man narrowed his eyes at her, a sinister smile slithered in her face. "So, I could personally kill you." She murmured just enough for him to hear her voice.

Then, the sound of a flesh being stabbed echoed. Lily smiled as she pulled the blunt dagger out of the man's exposed armpit. Soon, the smell of rustic iron filled the room.

Surprised at her sudden attack, he took a step back, feeling the burning and searing pain, his mouth turned wide as he glanced at the blood coming from his Axillary artery.

"You— " Victor didn't finish his sentence as he scrambled to find something to stop the bleeding.

"Thirty seconds." Lily's amused voice reached his ears. "You will start losing your consciousness in thirty seconds if you won't stop the bleeding now."
