---- but anyone could climb out of it after putting in some effort. That brat has always been cunning. Maybe she's long since escaped from the mine without us knowing." Luke ground his teeth in response. "Man, we've really underestimated her. We should've bound her with chains instead of ropes. I'd like to see how she can escape from those chains!" It was then Rupert spoke up. "Hold on. Given Lorraine's slyness, she might wait for us to leave the mine before making her escape." Leo's expression grew grave at Rupert's words. After approaching the pit, he stuck his head out a little. That was when he caught a whiff of something weird. Uneasiness crossed his eyes at that moment. That smell... It resembled the smell of a werewolf being reduced to ashes by silver powder. I just smiled sadly. My brothers were right. Even if my limbs were all tied up, I'd be able to free myself by exerting some ---- strength. The pit might be deep, but I could climb out of it at the cost of some stamina. But they had forgotten that I had sustained severe injuries in the past. I could no longer draw any strength from my legs, so I couldn't climb out of the pit. They didn't care about me anyway. After all, they thought I was lying about my legs just so I could get them to love and care about me. Had they put more faith in me from the start, things wouldn't have progressed to this point. Luke, Ryan, and Rupert approached the mine as well. Naturally, they all detected the smell. After some hesitation, Rupert said, "Why does it smell like..." Luke just sneered. "It must be a smokescreen she had set up just to trick us into thinking that she's dead. As if we'll let the whole thing slide even if that happens! Well, she can forget about it!" ---- Disappointment filled Leo's eyes. "Lorraine, we've had enough of your tricks! We've given you a chance! Since you refuse to cooperate with us, don't blame us for being harsh to you!" Luke grabbed a rock before tossing it into a pit. Still, I never reacted. He mocked, "You seriously think we're that stupid, huh? Let's see how long you can last down there!" Meanwhile, Ryan told Rupert to look for a searchlight. My brothers tried getting closer to the mine. The closer they were, the stronger the smell became. It became very suffocating at one point. The weak beam of light kept traveling down the pit. Just like that, the cramped space, which was about 40 square feet wide, was presented before their eyes. Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
